Havaianas Kitten Heel design details
The new Kitten Heel reinterprets Havaianas’ signature thong flip-flop construction. A streamlined closed-toe design is paired with an elegant, asymmetrical oval low heel at the side, completely transforming the traditional flip-flop silhouette. Beneath the upper, Havaianas’ iconic rubber footbed remains, ensuring a high level of comfort alongside its fashionable look.
Rather than relying on elaborate handcrafted embellishments, what makes this shoe so appealing is its combination of Havaianas’ signature rubber footbed comfort and an elegant, elongated silhouette for a thong sandal. If you favor a polished style but don’t want to put strain on your feet, it strikes a pleasing balance.
