In years past when you were younger, you probably loved those skinny high heels, but girl, when you get into your forties; you need to change things up, right? Your lifestyle must have changed by now and in a lot of cases, you may want to go for a more casual look. Of course, the proverbial heels are still good for certain occasions such as a conference or a business meeting. Skinny heels may not be practical or comfortable enough to run errands and go shopping or meet with friends.
Conversely, you don't want to feel like a granny with flats on all of the time. An excellent substitute would be block heels. These usually have low to medium heels, which are wider, chunkier and squarer than the norm. Your feet will feel more evenly distributed and it is easier and more comfortable to walk in. Block heels also allow you an additional few inches of height where flats don't. It elongates your legs and actually makes you appear taller and thinner.
