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.
