Closed toe casual heel

Anonymous
I'm struggling to find things I like in this category.

Needs:
- Closed toe (for winter in a moderate, no snow climate - think 50 degree weather)
- 2-3 inch heels for pants with longer hems.
- Not looking for boots, looking for true 'shoes'
- These are for daytime, casual, grabbing a morning coffee with friend, running to the grocery store. Not for work or dress up. The closed toe heel equivalent of a super simple slide or ballet flat.
- No skinny heels, that looks too dressy
- I don't want anything clunky like lug soles. I like daintier shoes.

I typically like shoe shopping online, but don't like this task because (i) most sites when you narrow to "heels" you get a zillion going out dressy shoes; and (ii) I'm really not liking the styles of what I am finding. I honestly don't even know what I would like, I'm just not liking what I see.

Anyone have any recommendations?

Like a high heeled loafer? I have a pair similar to these (without the bit).

You could get those in plain, not patent leather and it would look less dressy.

OP agree with this.

Also i just googled for heel loafers, and everything comes up suspiciously in shiny. You'd think there would be everyday leather or suede. This is why i keep coming up empty.

Closed toes and mid-heels tend to be an awkward combo for casual shoes unless you want lug soles. Try . . .

A heeled loafer . . . this one comes in brown suede and a matte, pebbled black:

Very helpful post!

Op here thanks for these! I would probably like a heel closer to 3 inch, a lot of the posted ones are closer to two inch. I think going a bit taller would allow me to find something a bit more feminine and not in that “awkward” midheel height a pp mentioned. Agree the two inch heels are kind of all menswear inspired and a bit ugly.

OP, I've been looking for the same shoe for a couple of years. I don't want to always wear sneakers for casual occasions. I don't like putting on boots.

For the summer/spring, I would like a nice closed espadrille, like the Chanel ones, without the logo, and with some height- 2+ inches, that are also comfy! I think I would like a sleeker more feminine doc marten type of shoe with some height.

I'm hoping someone posts the perfect shoe here!
