Spring is such a fun season to dress up in because the weather is just the right amount of warm and sunny, which also means more outdoor activities to do! To prep you up with your spring activities, you have to wear shoes that are comfy, stylish, and of course, if you’re petite – also elongating!
So here are the 10 best types of shoes you should definitely try out this spring season if you’re a short girl like me.

Slingback Heels
Slingback heels will always be a more flattering choice for petites compared to those with ankle straps because since the straps go behind the ankles, there’s no visual break in the legs. Plus, they typically have a pointed or almond-shaped toe, which can visually elongate the legs for that gorgeous added height!
Skin Tone Sandals
Find a pair of sandals that come in a color that matches your natural skin tone and you’ll see how flattering and elongating this can be for short girls like us! Plus, sandals are super comfy and dainty, perfect for your spring outfits.
Loafers
Loafers are super elegant but they’re quite low-profile – meaning they are perfect for ladies who love minimalist style pieces. I highly suggest you go for skin tone or neutral colors as well for them to match your spring aesthetic, whether you choose plain or colorful ensembles.
White Sneakers
Of course, we have white sneakers on board for the spring season! We all know that white sneakers are super versatile and incredibly comfortable, but apart from all these, they also act as a fashion canvas that can bring out the colors and designs of your spring ensemble even more.
Its neutral color also creates a continuous vertical line in your legs to make you appear more proportionate and taller.
Kitten heel pumps
Kitten heel pumps are also a very dainty and stylish option for spring with their modest heel height that gives petite ladies subtle elevation without sacrificing comfort. I have to say that they’re one of the show designs out there that looks very feminine and would complement spring outfits effortlessly – all while being stable enough to be practical for all-day wear.
Black Heels
I know how we usually associate light colors in spring, but you can never really go wrong with black, especially when it comes to your choice of shoes. Black heels possess a sleek, luxurious vibe that can go with pretty much any spring outfit you can think of and the heels not only add to that elegant aesthetic but also add more height to your frame!
Mules
Wearing mules during spring can also be a chic and functional choice of shoes because of their sleek appearance and easy slip-on feature. You may opt for plain designs for a minimalist look, but I’d also highly recommend going for those with fun and loud designs such as animal prints as they can go well with plain outfits.
Chelsea Booties
Chelsea booties are generally low-heeled, but that is what makes them very comfy and easy to pull off during springtime! They still give you that nice, subtle elevation while also providing coverage just in case of occasional spring showers.
Strappy Sandals
If you love the comfort and breathability of sandals, then you’ll love how flattering strappy sandals can be. The straps, as long as they don’t go high up to the ankles, can add more interest and visual depth to your entire spring look.
To make them even more elongating, choose skin tone colors!
Ballet Flats
Oh, ballet flats! They’re cute, and comfy, and can also come in endless styles and colors that’ll surely be your chic spring companion.
Their charm lies in their versatility and simplicity, that’s a fact. They are also easy to slip on for those sunny strolls or outdoor picnics.
