Passionate heel enthusiasts dedicated to helping Australian women step out in confidence
Best Heels Australia was born from a simple frustration that many Australian women know all too well: the overwhelming challenge of finding the perfect pair of heels. Whether you're searching for comfortable block heels for a long day at the office, elegant stilettos for a special occasion, or versatile wedges for a weekend getaway, the options can feel endless and confusing. We created this platform to cut through the noise and provide genuine, helpful guidance.
Our journey began in 2024 when our founding team—a group of fashion enthusiasts, former retail buyers, and self-proclaimed "heel obsessives"—realised that most online shoe resources were either overly promotional or lacked the depth Australian shoppers needed. We wanted to create something different: a trusted resource that combines practical advice with curated recommendations, all tailored specifically for the Australian market and lifestyle.
What sets us apart is our hands-on approach to understanding heels. We don't just browse product listings; we research materials, study construction techniques, and analyse customer feedback patterns across thousands of reviews. We understand the difference between a genuine leather insole and a synthetic one, why a properly weighted heel matters for stability, and how Australian weather conditions affect different materials. From the cobblestone streets of Melbourne's laneways to the sandy paths of Sydney's beaches, we consider how heels perform in real Australian conditions.
Our team spends countless hours testing heel comfort, evaluating arch support, and comparing price-to-quality ratios so you don't have to. We've walked in kitten heels through CBD commutes, danced in platforms at weddings, and survived entire Melbourne Cup days in stilettos. This real-world experience informs every recommendation we make and every guide we write.
We believe that every woman deserves to feel confident and comfortable in her heels, regardless of budget or experience level. That's why we provide content for everyone—from complete beginners just discovering the world of heels to seasoned collectors looking for their next statement piece. Our guides cover everything from basic heel care and walking techniques to advanced styling tips and seasonal trend analyses.
