Black Heels for Women - Strappy & Classic

Pumps, slingbacks or strappy sandals

Black heels at Mountfords come in three main shapes. Closed pumps, sometimes called court shoes, give the most coverage and suit offices and formal events. Slingbacks keep the closed toe but open the heel, which feels lighter in warm weather. Strappy heeled sandals, a big part of the Django & Juliette range, take you through summer evenings and weddings.

If you want height without a narrow heel, our block heels spread your weight over a wider base. Top End and Diana Ferrari add classic pumps, and many Gabor and Ziera styles sit on cushioned footbeds.

Heel height and occasion

Most of the range sits on a medium heel, which many people find easier to wear for a full day than a high stiletto. A low heel works for long events where you will be standing, while the few very high styles are best kept for shorter occasions.

On hot days an open sandal can do the same job as a heel with less weight on the foot. Our low heel sandals are worth a look if you want a little lift for summer functions without committing to a full heel.

FAQs

Q: What is the difference between a pump and a court shoe?
A: There is no real difference. Court shoe is the name more common in Australia and the UK, while pump is the American term, and both describe a closed heel with a low-cut front and no straps or laces.

Q: Do black heels go with navy or brown outfits?
A: Yes, black heels sit comfortably with navy, grey, brown and camel outfits. If the contrast feels strong, matching the heel to a black belt or bag ties the look together without needing everything in one shade.

Q: Which heel height is easiest to walk in?
A: A medium heel of roughly five centimetres is the easiest for most people to walk in for long periods. Combine it with a wider heel shape or an ankle strap and the shoe feels steadier again.

Q: Are patent black heels hard to care for?
A: Patent leather is one of the easiest finishes to keep clean, since marks wipe away with a damp cloth. Store patent pairs apart so the surfaces do not stick together, and keep them out of direct heat.
