Size 12 Heels in Australia: A Guide to Every Height

Finding size 12 women's shoes in Australia usually means compromising on something. Finding size 12 heels you actually want to wear has meant compromising on almost everything. The heel itself has changed, though. This season is less about towering stilettos and more about considered heights you can wear all day.

Every Naked Sole style is available in size 12 as standard. Here is how to choose by height.

Kitten and low heels, around 5cm

The easiest place to start, and the height leading spring. Enough lift to change how an outfit sits, low enough for a full day on your feet.

  • Harper: a 5cm thong heel with a slingback buckle, in White and Stone Python.
  • Lola: a pointed toe slingback on a low heel, in Leopard Satin and Zebra Suede.
  • Jennifer: a low block heel mule in black leather.

Mid heels, the everyday height

A mid heel is the workhorse of a wardrobe. It suits the office, dinner and most weddings.

  • Alexandra: a pointed toe slingback with a buckle strap, in black and white patent, plus a wide fit version in nude patent.
  • Freya: a pointed toe heel with a buckle cross strap, in black patent and burgundy.
  • Camellia: crossover toe straps on a sculpted flared heel, in butter yellow and ballet pink.

Higher heels, for the occasion

  • Brooke: a square toe mule on a 9cm triangular block heel, in black leather.
  • Holly: a black satin mule with a curved heel and square toe.

Why proportion matters

A heel scaled up from a size 7 pattern rarely sits right on a size 12 foot. The pitch shifts, straps land in the wrong place and the shoe can look heavier than intended. Designing for sizes 10 to 15 from the start keeps the proportions balanced, so a size 12 looks the way the style was meant to look.

Check the size guide before ordering. Australian orders include free exchanges if you need a different size.
