Nairobi pavements present unique challenges for high heel lovers. From cobblestone walkways to tiled office ramps, picking the right heel construction determines longevity.

Stilettos: Offer sleek, high-fashion glamour for red-carpet dinners, indoor events, and office presentations where walking distances are minimal.

Block Heels: Feature a wider base surface area that prevents the heel tip from sinking into grates or cracking on uneven pavements.

Verdict for Nairobi Commuters: For daily workwear, 2.5-inch block heels provide 3x longer heel-tip lifespan and superior ankle balance.
