Sam Edelman Treena Slingback Kitten Heel

The Sam Edelman Treena is a pointed-toe slingback with a 41mm (roughly 1.6-inch) kitten heel—a height that splits the difference between flats and proper heels. It's designed for the woman who wants the polished look of a heel without the commitment, making it a natural fit for bridesmaids, daytime weddings, or brides who plan to be on their feet greeting guests all evening.

Comfort and Fit

Unfortunately, we don't have customer review data for the Treena to draw on. What we can assess: a 41mm kitten heel is one of the most forgiving heel heights available. The pitch is gentle enough that most of your weight stays on your heel rather than sliding forward into the toe box, which is the primary source of pain in higher heels. The slingback strap should secure the shoe without the pressure of a full back counter, though this also means less ankle support than a closed-back pump.

Sizing Guidance

No sizing data available for this model. We recommend trying in store if possible, or ordering with free returns to confirm fit. Pointed toes can be tricky—some women need to size up a half size to avoid toe crowding, while others find their true size works if the toe box has adequate depth.

Wedding Suitability

The Treena's kitten heel makes it a practical choice for long wedding days. You'll get the leg-lengthening effect and formality of a heel without the foot fatigue that comes with anything above two inches. The pointed toe and slingback silhouette read more cocktail-appropriate than casual, so these work for everything from garden ceremonies to ballroom receptions. The one limitation: kitten heels don't have the same visual impact as a stiletto or block heel. If you're wearing a long gown, much of the shoe will be hidden anyway, but if you want your shoes to make a statement with a midi or short dress, you may want more height.

Verdict

The Treena is a safe, sensible choice for anyone who finds traditional heels uncomfortable but still wants something elevated. Without customer feedback to confirm comfort and fit, there's some risk involved—but the heel height itself is about as beginner-friendly as heels get. If you've worn kitten heels before and know you like them, the Treena should deliver what you expect from the category.
