Designers are finally listening, designing silhouettes that promise height without the hurt and glamour without the grimace. Whether you’re striding into a boardroom, twirling through a cocktail hour, or elevating your everyday denim, the new generation of luxe heels is all about effortless elegance. Ahead, find the ten designer pairs redefining what it means to be both cute and comfortable in 2025.
1. Manolo Blahnik Hangisi 70 crystal-embellished satin pumps
Starting up the list of the most comfortable designer heels with the iconic Manolo Blahnik Hangisi’s. And truly, ask anyone who owns a pair, and they will tell you that these are some of the most comfortable designer heels you can get. Though I’d recommend to start with the 70 mm heel height.
2. Gucci Signoria embellished patent-leather slingback pumps
Named after the central piazza of Florence, the Gucci Signoria embellished patent-leather slingback pumps aren’t just stunning (thanks to their distinctive chain detail) but also comfortable because of their dainty, 45 mm heel.
3. Jimmy Choo Romy 60 leather pumps
When the Duchess of Sussex herself wears your shoes to various royal engagements, you know they’re a comfortable (and stylish) choice for back-to-back appointments or day-long events. But honestly, at a 60 mm heel height, Jimmy Choo Romys are a no-brainer.
4. Louis Vuitton 6AM Pump
The name says it all—Louis Vuitton’s 6AM Pumps were designed to go from dawn to dusk without a second thought. Their sleek silhouette and moderate heel height ensure elevated comfort from your morning coffee run through after-work plans.
5. Saint Laurent Lee leather slingback pumps
Thanks to their shiny, sculptural heels, the Saint Laurent Lee leather slingback pumps will instantly elevate any look. And judging by the number of posts featuring these shoes on social media, they must be really comfortable.

6. Ferragamo Vara pump
Ferragamo has long been synonymous with comfort, and the Vara pump carries on that legacy with ease. Set on a 3cm heel, they are a timeless choice for just about any occasion.
7. Gianvito Rossi Gianvito 70 suede pumps
Gianvito Rossi doesn’t buy into the whole ‘beauty is pain’ concept. He says the trick is to create a shoe that’s so mathematically balanced and refined, there’s no option for it to be anything but comfortable. Test this theory out by wearing the Gianvito 70 suede pumps to your next evening event!
8. Roger Vivier Viv’ In The City 65 buckled suede pumps
Handcrafted from suede, Roger Vivier’s Viv’ In The City 65 buckled suede pumps have slim, curved heels that are as comfortable as they are striking. The classic Vivier buckle also adds a dose of Parisian glamour, making this pair a standout choice for day-to-night dressing.
9. Dior J’Adior slingback pump
Yes, everyone seemed to have a pair of the J’Adior slingback pumps in 2018. And they still remain a top-seller for Dior. I suspect the curved stiletto heel is the reason.
10. Christian Louboutin So Kate 70 patent-leather pumps
Wrapping up the list of the most comfortable designer heels with a pair from The King of Heels. Though I do remember Louboutin himself admitting at some point that his heels aren’t meant to be comfortable. But well, unlike the legendary So Kate 120, Louboutin’s So Kate 70 pumps offer a far more wearable heel height!
