We love a good chunky heel – they’re the best of both worlds in our opinion.

Not only do they give you all the benefits of the classic stiletto heel (make you taller, improve your posture, make your legs look 100 times sexier etc) but they do so in a way that a) won’t make your feet and calves hate you the next day and b) makes walking up and down stairs a total breeze. Absolutely no wobbling!

There’s a fine (and very generous) selection of chunky heeled shoes out right now, so it took us quite a while to whittle it down to just seven. Hopefully there’s something in our edit for everyone though, and we apologise in advance if you love them all and the bank account starts to weep.
