Ladies, it’s the time to say goodbye to the ultra high platforms if you are shopping for Fall/Winter 2013 -2014. Lower heels, stiletto, kitten, chunky or block, together with pointed toes without platforms, are continuously being the center of attention on the runway and the trend is thriving as never before.

From Emporio Armani’s mesh booties, Dolce & Gabbana’s jeweled lace pumps,  Ferragamo’s T-straps to Roberto Cavalli’s floral pumps and Nina Ricci’s sling-backs, the lower heels look stunning and amazingly walkable.

No more tottering around in those ultra high platforms, the lower heels give you a proper height lift and extended legs without worries of tilting over. Pair your heels with trousers, skinny jeans or a printed summer dress, it’s the moment to pound the pavement pain-free.

Here are some of our favorite designs from the runway.
