Women’s heels make any look instantly chic, but sky high stilettos and wedges can be more than a little painful. However this season there’s a bit of a revolution in play with midi heels becoming increasingly prevalent on the high street.

Midi heels are the perfect choice for day or night, to add a little extra height without the added pain. At River Island there are lots of styles to choose from including sandals and loafers that will blend seamlessly into your spring-summer wardrobe.

While mid heels can have frumpy connotations, the selection at River Island is anything but. These are colourful and stylish shoes that will work just as well with a new pair of statement printed trousers as they will a pencil skirt. Look to the likes of Kate Middleton and Kate Bosworth for inspiration as two very different fashion muses wear them in two very different ways.

If you’d prefer something with a little extra height then fear not, high heels are not going anywhere soon. From colour block sandals to sky-high printed wedges, there is a wide selection of heels to shop from at River Island, both online and in-store. These are a fun way to bring some colour into your look, and an easy way to try out summer’s most striking prints with little commitment.

Whatever heels you’re looking for – from mid heel to high heel, printed or plain, timeless or trend led, you’re sure to find what you’re after at River Island.
