As beautiful as they are, stilettos can be downright painful. After all, the twig-like style not only makes walking more difficult, but, combined with a sloping sole, can also do a number on your arches. Thankfully, there’s a new heel in town that proves you don’t have to sacrifice style for comfort. Enter: the block heel.

According to Pinterest’s latest Global Fashion Report for August, searches for block heels increased 333 percent on Pinterest in the U.S. from January to August 2018. The company, which used data from 602 million fashion boards to analyze the biggest trends, also noted that the chunky yet chic style beat out less supportive options like stilletos and kitten heels.

In honor of the winning look, we’ve rounded up a range of ultra-cool block heels you’ll be eager to rock this season. Below, shop our favorite selections for fall in a range of price points from Steve Madden, Marc Jacobs and more.
