Chunky heel pumps
What woman can say she doesn’t own even a pair of classic pumps? Probably none and, as it turns out, our pumps often do without killer stiletto heels. In the search for both original look and maximum comfort, more and more women opt for easy-to-wear but still sensual and 100% feminine chunky heel pumps. It’s a great choice also for women who don’t feel steady and secure walking on slim heels. Their solution is chunky heels. Much easier to wear and equally intriguing fashion-wise, they can become the base of classic and extravagant outfits.
Women’s chunky heel pumps
For decades, women’s pumps have been considered elegant, universal footwear that proves its worth on almost all occasions. When it comes to satisfying the needs of a woman’s foot, chunky heel pumps fit the bill. Their gently tapered toes make your legs look slimmer and longer, and the comfy heel asserts the femininity of your style. Women’s chunky heel pumps are one of the few types of footwear which look good regardless of your body type.
They hit the spot for tall and slim body types, more full-figured silhouettes, and shorter statures. A broad chunky heel is the ultimate trick to balance out your proportions. Shorter women will enjoy the extra centimetres, while taller ones will avoid the discomfort related to their height.
What are the origins of chunky heel pumps?
Their history goes back to the 1940s when these modest and unassuming shoes on a low heel entered the women’s fashion canons. Since they were more comfortable than regular shoes on slim heels and far quieter, they soon gained ground. The shape of the heel has evolved over the years – it was covered with leather, straightened out, or narrowed down. Nowadays, owing to the unlimited creativity of fashion designers, the chunky heel looks as presentable as the traditional stiletto – or more. Chunky heel pumps stand for femininity, comfort, and a hint of extravagance you can easily bring to any daily outfit.

How to style chunky heel pumps?
Leather chunky heel pumps for women offer virtually unlimited styling options. First of all, they shine in all kinds of office uniforms, paired with a knee-length pewter skirt and an elegant shirt with long sleeves. On a colder day, top off that outfit with a matching jacket. Chunky heel pumps like the company of dresses, particularly the short trapeze designs. It’s a great look for daily wear – both at work and at a meeting with friends.
If you want to underline your femininity, go for unconventional accessories. A colourful silk scarf or eye-catching earrings will be just the thing. In the autumn, coordinate with a long, toned-down trench coat or a trendy sheepskin jacket with a fur collar. Leather pumps pair perfectly with a fitted cotton blouse and trousers – especially those revealing the ankle like the ¾ cigarillos.
Don’t forget about a large leather bag to dress down the entire ensemble. When looking for an ideal family party look or a date outfit, go for brand chunky heels and slim-fit jeans. Their shape combined with the low-cut profile of the leather pumps will emphasise slim calves and make your legs look longer.
Which heels are the most comfortable?
For any women, footwear that delivers on both comfort and style is a dream come true. However, many of us wonder which type of heel will best emphasise the assets of our body type, while hiding the imperfections? Can a heel even do that? Of course! Below, you’ll find the most popular types of heels chosen by women. See if your shoes match your style:
- Chunky heels – the most popular heel of recent seasons and the most comfortable one. Universal enough to go with almost any style. The perfect fit with casual, loose outfits. Think jersey dresses, floaty skirts, and flared jeans.
- Stiletto – a slim heel which epitomises the feminine, sensual style. This shoe style is donned by women confident of themselves and their style. Best paired with a formal look or officewear and, paradoxically, more “masculine” ensembles.
- Kitten heels – a characteristic round type of heel often associated with vintage-style outfits. Kitten heels feature in the current collections of the most acclaimed Italian fashion houses. Pair them with a loose bottom, such as a pleated or trapeze skirt.
- Block heels – very similar to chunky heels, but shorter and thicker. A rising star of the last few seasons, although it may be hard to create an outfit that will bring out its true character. Block heels go with short skirts – mid-thigh is the optimum length. Don’t match them with long skirts, as this combination will make your leg look shorter.
Why should you choose chunky heel pumps?
Women across the world have fallen in love with brand shoes equipped with comfortable chunky heels. Why? Mainly because this type of footwear offers the perfect combination of the stylish allure of high heels and the comfort of flats. Chunky heel pumps are considered far easier to wear than stilettos. You can have them on for hours, yet still look dashing and on point. Besides, if you’re into the boho style, which is all the rage in recent seasons, chunky heels outrank stilettos by a wide margin. What are the other reasons to invest in original shoes on chunky heels?
- Chunky heels make your legs look slimmer and balance out your body proportions. Stilettos tend to look good only on slim silhouettes, while chunky heel shoes flatter any body type.
- Preserve their box-fresh look – women often grumble about the scuffed heel tips of their favourite stilettos. Due to the large surface of the heel, chunky heel pumps last much longer.
- Practicality – chunky heels won’t slip into any cracks in the pavement. Especially women from big cities are no strangers to this problem.
- Versatility – chunky heel pumps may be donned by women of any height.
