Girls' Heels

Learn More About Girls' Heels

Girls’ heels from sellers on Etsy range from little girls’ heels to heels for teenage girls. Popular girls’ heels styles have different names and occasions for wear. These styles often are the same as those available for adults, but usually with lower, thicker heels to make them more comfortable and stable.


  • Girls’ pump heels are most like adult heels, with a slightly wider heel. Usually, these heels are 1 or 2 inches high. A very common heel style, flare or square girls’ heels are great for formal situations. They give a sturdy base on which to stand without sacrificing the look of a heel.
  • Girls’ platform heels add a few inches to the sole, making it easier to walk in than straight heels without wobbling or tripping.
  • Wedge heels are similar to girls’ heels with platforms, wherein the heel and the sole are one solid piece. These cute girls’ heels are often worn as practice heels.
  • Girls’ heeled boots such as combat boots, western boots, or ankle boots can be dressed up or down.

Heels are fashionably fun to wear at any age and are appropriate for a host of events, from weddings and formal occasions to pageants and playing dress-up at home. For kids who want to start wearing heels, a good guideline is to start the younger heel-wearer with lower and wider heels, then transition in size and height as they grow.


  • Heels for little girls are best when they offer just a small boost—a little higher than flat, with a wider and rounder heel. These types are more comfortable for all beginners, and come in a wide variety of styles, including Mary Janes and ballet.
  • Big-girl dress shoes with heels are great when the level of heel height ticks up ever so slightly. Heels and wedges can have smaller widths, helping girls practice walking in heels safely.
  • Heels for teenage girls have heel heights that are closer in size and style to the adult counterparts. There are also plenty of teen heels with substantial height that have ample coverage on the top of the foot and don’t skimp on design.
