DESIGNER BLOCK HEELS
Discover designer block heels that bring shape and character to every silhouette. Handcrafted in Brazil, the Giseli Dias selection moves from feather sandals and crystal embellishments to leather platforms and sculptural boots.
Explore Maria, Alma, Diana, Constance and Kate — five interpretations of the block heel, each with its own proportions, materials and distinctive details.
A DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE ON HEIGHT
A block heel gives a shoe a different visual balance from a slender stiletto. Its broader form can echo the volume of a platform, contrast with delicate straps or create a structured foundation beneath feathers and embellishments.
Across the Giseli Dias collection, that shape takes several forms: compact beneath Maria, narrow on Alma and Kate, square and substantial on Diana, and architectural on Constance.

BLOCK HEELS AND PLATFORMS: WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE?
A block heel describes the shape of the heel beneath the back of the foot. A platform is a raised sole beneath the forefoot.
A shoe can combine both features. Diana and Constance have block heels and platforms, while Maria and Alma pair their block heels with a lighter forefoot silhouette.
The distinction helps you choose the proportions you prefer, from a feather sandal with a narrow heel to a platform with more volume beneath the foot.
CHOOSING YOUR BLOCK HEELS
For decorative detail, compare Maria Black and Alma Pink. Maria combines black satin, crystals and a heart detail above a 100 mm block heel. Alma brings together pink suede, feathers and a narrower 110 mm heel with a contrasting white tip.
For a platform silhouette, explore Diana’s crossover straps and square heel or Constance’s glossy patent finish and architectural proportions.
For a boot, Kate Black brings the block heel into a taller silhouette, with a contrasting tobacco-brown finish that adds character to a simple outfit.
Consider heel height, platform height, fastening and fit together when choosing your pair. Each product page includes the specifications and sizing guidance for that design.
