A humble pair of $22 kitten heels from Kmart have sent Aussie shoppers into a frenzy, being hailed as some of the most comfortable heels money can buy.
The unlikely fashion hero is the Anko Toe Post Kitten Heel, which has been flying off shelves after Sydney-based bargain hunter Bronte Rose shared a TikTok alerting shoppers to the fresh drop in stores and online.
Her video racked up more than 120,000 views in just one day, with shoppers rushing to share their own glowing reviews.
Sold for just $22, the heels come in a rich wine colour that’s proving especially popular, alongside a luxe brown suede-look version that shoppers say is constantly selling out.
And it’s not just the price that’s winning people over.
The slip-on Y-strap kitten heels feature a low, wearable heel, open toe and soft non-leather upper, with a thermoplastic rubber outsole designed for comfort and flexibility.
They’re billed as ‘stylish yet versatile’ and suitable for special occasions and work, as well as everyday wear, with fans say they deliver on that promise.
‘I have these and they are best shoes I have ever worn in my life,’ one fan said.

‘They are unbelievably comfy,’ another shared.
‘I need the brown ones but can never find them in my size,’ one wrote of the popular brown-suede style.
Others were stunned by how well they held up on a big night out.
‘Wore them out last week clubbing and all legit my feet didn’t hurt once or at all the next day,’ one said, while several fans said they’ve already stocked up on multiple pairs.
‘Mate, I have these in every colour, so freaking good.’
‘Kmart is where it’s at – I’ve had the black ones for ages,’ another said.
‘I have these in leopard print and they were on sale for $7!’
‘I absolutely live in these,’ another added.
The buzz comes as kitten heels continue to dominate as the ‘it’ shoe of the season, favoured for their balance of style and wearability.
With fashion swinging back toward polished, feminine silhouettes that don’t sacrifice comfort, the low heel has become a go-to for everything from office outfits to nights out.

And at just $22, Kmart’s version of the popular shoe is hitting the sweet spot for shoppers who want to stay on trend without blowing the budget.
The heels are available in stores and online via Kmart Australia, though shoppers warn popular colours sell out fast.
‘If you can’t find your size in store, they definitely still seem to have lots of sizes online,’ one helpful shopper wrote.
‘I’ve worn mine every day for the past three weeks and they’re comfier than my Tony Bianco’s,’ another one endorsed.
‘I’ll be running to Kmart,’ a final added.
For a shoe that looks chic, feels wearable and costs less than a takeaway dinner, it’s no wonder Aussies are racing to grab a pair.
