Ready to step into the glamorous world of slingback heels? Slingbacks are making a comeback, and boy are we totally in for it! Spotted on the catwalks of Paris Fashion Week and on the highstreets back home, we’re so down for these super-versatile and uber-chic heels that literally go with E V E R Y T H I N G!

But with quite a few slingback shoes out there, which ones should we splurge on? The best slingback heels of 2024 are characterised by a low kitten heel, so we don’t have to wobble around in stilettos (thank you!), have pointed toes, and come in bright colours (hello, cherry red!)

From iconic Miu Miu slingbacks to the viral Mango slingback heels, read on to discover the top trending styles and their dupes.

Gucci Slingback Shoes

These Gucci slingback heels are truly out of this world, and bang on trend thanks to their bright blue colour and cute kitten heel.
