30+ Best Block Heel Sandals for Elegant Comfort
Looking for a classic sandal that's as chic as it is walkable? The best block heel sandals are the perfect in-between. Whether you're heading to a summer garden wedding, a city stroll, or just want something a bit more elevated for everyday wear, these styles will take you easily from day to night.
Vogue's Favorite Block Heel Sandals:
Block heel sandals instantly transport us back to the classic minimalism of the '90s—think Carolyn Bessette in a sleek black midi and barely-there leather sandals, or virtually every runway show from brands like Miu Miu, Jil Sander, and Chanel. Yet fashion houses in 2025 are still happily giving this shape the spotlight, from Balenciaga to Bottega Veneta, who've made it their own with distinct house code touches, like stud and buckle embellishments or an intrecciato lambskin footbed.
For everyday sleek neutrals with a minimalist twist, look to brands like Emme Parsons, Ancient Greek Sandals, and Reformation for effortless yet versatile picks. If you're after an evening-ready pair, Gucci and Manolo Blahnik offer classic silhouettes that can be paired with just about any wedding guest dress (or other occasion-wear). The Row arguably makes our favorite luxury version for everyday, with strappy detailing and a jewel-like adornment. For fashion-forward interpretations, cool-girl labels like Martiniano, Lemaire, and deliver fresh, modern options.
Here are the standout pairs worth adding to your cart.
