Magda Butrym kitten heels: the low heel, by height and shape

Posted by author-avatar

A kitten heel is a heel low enough to walk in all day, usually 3 to 5 cm, set slightly in from the back of the shoe. Magda Butrym makes it in three shapes: an almond pump, a pointed mule and a heeled ballet flat. The newest is the almond pump in silver calf leather from Pre-Spring 2027, on a 4 cm heel. 13 low and kitten heels on Coveti, $1,390 to $2,590, median $1,790. Shop the Magda Butrym collection at Coveti, read the heels guide for every height, and see the shoe size guide before you order.

Key facts

  • 13 low and kitten heels on Coveti, $1,390 to $2,590, median $1,790
  • Almond pump in silver: calf leather upper, nappa leather insole and sole, 4 cm heel, Pre-Spring 2027
  • Heights across the house: 3 cm ballerina heels, 4 cm almond pumps, 5.5 cm kitten heel mules (the brand’s own heel lines)
  • Sizing: EU 35 to 41 on Coveti; the brand cuts half sizes, so order your usual EU size

What counts as a kitten heel

Anything from about 3 to 5 cm with a slim heel set in from the back. Under 3 cm it is a flat with a lift; over 5.5 cm it starts to behave like a mid heel, with the weight on the ball of the foot.

The silver almond pump

The almond pump in silver leather is the Pre-Spring 2027 shoe for day: a softly pointed almond toe, calf leather in a mirror silver, nappa inside and a 4 cm heel. Silver works as a neutral with grey, black and the beige jacquard knits. The Pre-Spring 2027 page has the rest of the drop.

The kitten heel mules

The mules sit higher, on a 5.5 cm heel, open at the back. They are the faster shoe to put on and the less secure one on stairs. The mules guide lists every colour.

The ballerina heels

The heeled ballet flats are the lowest, at 3 cm, with the round toe and the binding of a ballet flat. The heeled ballet flats guide covers them.

How to wear a kitten heel

With a midi: the heel keeps the line long without the height of a pump. With straight trousers cropped at the ankle. With a sequin dress, where a low heel stops the look tipping into costume. The sequin dresses work best this way.

Around the world

Searches for kitten heels come mostly from the United States, 32% of the volume, then the United Kingdom at 11%, Australia at 8% and Canada at 6% (DataForSEO, global monthly volume, 6 November 2026). Coveti ships Magda Butrym from its London, Melbourne and Dubai hubs by DHL Express and FedEx, insured and signed for, with prices shown in US dollars and a 14-day return window; the returns page and the FAQs carry the detail by country. Magda Butrym itself is a Warsaw house, and Poland is still the largest single source of searches for the brand name, ahead of the United States and the United Kingdom.

Fit and care

Order your usual EU size; if you are between sizes on the brand’s half-size scale, go up on the pointed and almond toes. Keep metallic leather away from rain and wipe it with a dry cloth; have a cobbler add a thin rubber sole before the first wet day.
