*In this late-night feature – which will run Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday of each week – I’ll gather up three fun items that are currently on sale online and share them with you! I would LOVE suggestions: Stylish wide-width pumps? Classic v-necked sweaters? Chandelier earrings? Petite dress slacks? What would you like to see featured?*
Ignorant Awareness requested a few picks for comfortable block-heel flats, so here we go:
Naturalizer Leana
With a 0.75″ block heel and a cushioned footbed, this is the winner of the night. Available in this black leather, chocolate brown leather, and a silvery metallic in US sizes 4 – 12 US, including some narrow and wide sizes. Size availability varies by color, as does price.
Indigo By Clarks Aggie Flat
This is one of the hardest requests I’ve had to date, so pickings will be slim. This is a terrific flat by a comfort-centric company with a little block heel … but it’s only available in sizes US 5 – 7 in either this snake print or a black snake print. There are also a few pairs available on eBay.
Ellen Tracy Alto Flat – was $69, now $59.95
Captoes are all the rage, and this neutral color palette will be great for fall and winter. They lack a padded footbed, but have a flexible sole and are reviewed by most as being comfortable. Also limited in size run – US sizes 8 – 9.5.
Other not-currently-on-sale resources for block-heel flats:
- Amazon
– Great deals on comfort brands like Clarks and Born.
- J.Crew – Lots of block heels, though J.Crew shoes aren’t famed for their padded footbeds. If you love the look, consider a style from this line with an insert.
- Naturalizer – Block heels in traditional ballet flats and other heights as well.

Thank you! I appreciate it wasn’t easy pickings, but I really appreciate what you’ve found- bonus points for grippy soles on the last pair of block heels! =D
Ooooh… I don’t normally like the block heels, but you found some CUTE ones!
I’m not 100% sure if this is what you are looking for, but maybe French Sole Shoes have something? http://www.frenchsoleshoes.com/category.php
Their Helium and Heroes styles look about right.
How do you style the last two? I have trouble with tights/hose when the shoe is light-ish. Can you help me here? Thanks!!
For the snakeskin heather gray or black would work well. The cap-toes would also work with black since there are black accents – either black opaques or patterned black tights!
Also Beautifeel. I’m a broken record on this brand, and wholly uncompensated FWIW:).
I have been looking for something just like that Ellen Tracey flat, but in a heel.
I have those Indigo Aggie shoes and I love them. Their shape is very cute and fresh. When I wear them with my black cigarette pants I feel like I am channeling Audrey Hepburn a little.
