It’s that time of the year when you can bring out the big fashion guns and drape yourself from head to toe in an opulent silhouette designed to turn heads with every step. And as you strut forward, revelling in the limelight, the last thing you want to worry about is aching feet, or even worse, your stiletto piercing the grassy grounds leaving you stranded in the dirt. That’s why it's best to play it smart and add a pair of spring racing heels that have your back (and your feet) covered. At Green’s Footwear, our curated range of shoes is designed to be stylish and sleek without sacrificing comfort — so your focus can stay off your feet and on the races.

How to choose comfortable and stylish spring racing heels

When it comes to choosing the right pair of heels, comfort should be a top priority — after all, you don’t want to be tottering around in pain all day. Look for a pair with plush lining and a soft footbed, so you enjoy the races without a care in the world. And with our fashion-forward collection, there's no need to sacrifice style for comfort. Opt for a pair of chic and comfy heels to enjoy the best of both worlds.

To help make assembling your spring race outfit easier, we’ve listed our top picks for comfortable heels for spring racing that will see you from the first race to the last. 

• The low-heeled pump 

First up is the pump. This classic silhouette is a staple in every woman’s well-curated shoe collection. Easy to dress up to match your spring racing outfit, when it comes to comfort and style, our collection of pumps is a go-to choice for standing around and mingling with a champagne flute in hand. Our pumps feature low to moderate heel sizes and come with cushioned insoles for added comfort. Aiming to create a sophisticated and polished look? Slip your feet into a neutral-toned closed-toe pair that protects your toes from getting stepped on while harmonising beautifully with just about any outfit.

• Kitten heels

Sleek and elegant kitten heels are perfect when shopping for comfortable spring racing heels. The diminutive heels pack a heavy punch to keep your feet free from discomfort. And they will still elongate your legs without making you feel like you’re tethering precariously on a tightrope as some skyscraper stilettos are bound to make you feel. Channel the irresistible energy of summer and pair your outfit with a pointy-toed kitten heel with a slingback from our collection for a polished aesthetic that makes a minimalist style statement.

• Wedge sandals

Consider a wedge sandal if you're looking for spring racing heels that offer a little height and unmatched comfort. Our curated range of on-trend wedges distribute your weight more evenly than a stiletto, so they won't leave your feet throbbing at the end of the day. They offer more stability than a thinner heel, making them ideal for walking on grass or uneven surfaces. Plus, their thick heel means they won't sink into the ground like some thinner heels might. Just be careful not to choose a pair that's too high — you don't want to risk taking a tumble in front of all the other race-goers! 

• Mary Janes 

Mary Janes could be ideal if you're looking for the perfect spring racing heels to wear to the track. This stylish type of shoe is comfortable and practical, making it perfect for a day spent walking around the racecourse. Our range of Mary Janes features a cushioned insole and a supportive strap that helps to keep your foot in place, even when you're walking on uneven ground. Plus, the sturdy construction of the heel ensures you won't feel exhausted from standing or walking for long periods. 

• Heeled mules

Take a pair of heeled mules to the races, and your feet will send you little thank you notes for keeping them free of those pesky ankle blisters. Easy to dress up, these beautiful shoes work to elevate your outfit without letting the grass knolls get the better of you. The mules' functional and practical design helps keep the foot in a more natural position, providing greater comfort and stability. In addition, mule heels are often lighter and more aerodynamic than traditional shoes, making them the ideal choice for spring racing heels.

• Flats

Yes, flats can be dressy! A pair of elegant flats in a sleek material can look just as chic as a pair of heels — and they'll be much more comfortable, too. Heels are undeniably glamorous but pain induced, especially when you’re on your feet all day. If you're worried about flats making you look too casual, try pairing them with a statement clutch or piece of jewellery to dress them up. If you want to go all out, slip on a stylish pair of flats with embellished toes or ankle straps that keep your feet happy and looking sharp this spring racing season.

What to consider when choosing the right pair of spring racing heels

Here are some additional tips to keep in mind while selecting comfortable heels for spring racing:

• Know your foot type

The first step in finding comfortable heels for spring racing is to know your foot type. This will help you narrow down the options and find a style that works with the natural shape of your foot. For example, if you have wide feet, you'll want to avoid pointed toes as they will only accentuate the width of your feet. Instead, look for a round or square toe, as these will balance your foot shape. If you have narrow feet, you’re blessed to rock any heel style!

• Consider the height

Heels come in all different heights, so it's important to consider how tall you want to be before making your purchase. If you're not used to wearing heels, it's probably best to start with a lower heel and work your way up. You don't want to be teetering around all day in shoes that are too high for you. A good rule of thumb is choosing spring racing heels that are no more than 2 inches.
