It’s been two years since I first discovered luxury shoe brand Sarah Flint and I’ve since added five of her handcrafted heels and boots to my collection. Today’s post is for the shoe lovers out there! I’m sharing a Carrie Bradshaw-approved comparison of the Perfect Block Sandal in 60mm and 90mm, in case you’re torn between which heel height to choose.
Plus, I have a Sarah Flint discount code that’ll give you $50 off your first pair of full-priced heels, flats or boots: SARAHFLINT-BAHOLLYHU at sarahflint.com.
Why Sarah Flint
Over the last few years, I’ve been trying to rediscover my style. Somewhere between having two kids and spending too much time at home in loungewear (thanks, COVID), I’m making a more conscious effort to add pieces to my wardrobe that are:
- Versatile
- High-quality
- Timeless
Cue Sarah Flint – a brand that merges craftsmanship and comfort with classic styles and silhouettes. I first added the Sarah Flint Perfect Zip Booties to my closet back in 2020 and was reminded how, with a bit of love and care (as well as some leather cleaner and polish), quality leather shoes are made to last.
Now in their third season, they look as good as the day I bought them. And while they are more of an investment upfront than other boots I’ve bought in the past, over time they prove their worth – especially when taking ‘cost per wear’ into consideration.
Sarah Flint Perfect Block Sandal
This past year, I added two pairs of Perfect Block Sandals to my closet – in the 90mm and 60mm heights.
From summer vacations with the kids….

…to date nights and weddings, they were my most reached-for style of shoes these past few months.
Why I’m A fan Of The Sarah Flint Perfect Block Sandal
The Look
I LOVE the look of open-toed heeled sandals – especially how they elongate the leg. Plus, they look great dressed up in a cocktail dress or dressed down with jeans or shorts and a linen top.
Benefits Of A Block Heel
If you’ve ever walked on grass with heels, you’ll know how annoying it is when stilettos sink into the grass. I love how these block sandals are the perfect outdoor heel.
Plus, I personally find the wider heel adds a feeling of stability.
High-quality And Comfortable
Not only are these shoes handcrafted in Italy and made of buttery soft leather so they look great. They also have:
- an expanded toe box to ease foot crowding
- anatomical arch support
- an additional 6 mm of foot pad bedding for all day wearability
60mm or 90mm – Which To Choose?
As someone who is a fan of the silhouette of sky-high heels and the glitz of gold, I first ordered these 90mm (3.5 inch) Gold Nappa shoes.
However, now that I own both… I’d have to say my preference is the 60mm (2.5 inch). They elongate the leg and look SO amazing… yet they are so easy to walk in and absolutely do not feel like you’re wearing 60mm heels.
For reference, here is the heel height difference of the two shoes.
Don’t get me wrong, the 90mm are also comfortable for their height. But I find that I keep reaching for my 60mm more because they look SO good and (in my opinion) are noticeably easier to walk in.
And when it comes to colour, I can’t say enough good things about the Sand Calf colour. It’s very flattering and the neutral tone makes it such a versatile, core piece to add to your closet.
And while the gold is stunning and ideal for special events, if I was only buying one pair, I’d be inclined to recommend the Sand Calf or Black Suede.

Hi, do you have any photos of you wearing the Perfect Block Sandal 90? They’re on sale right now and 50% off but not returnable so I’m tempted. I have the perfect sandal in 85 and feel they look a tad short so thinking the 90 would be good. But now I’m torn after reading your review of the 90 vs 60.
