Women's Heeled Sandals

At the same height, generally yes. A block heel puts several square centimetres on the ground instead of a point, so your ankle does less constant correcting and the shoe stays level on grass, gravel and cobbles. Pressure under the ball of the foot barely changes, though — that comes from the pitch of the foot, which is set by the heel height and by any platform under the toe, not by the shape of the heel. Block heels are heavier and less flattering to the leg line, which is the trade you are making.

Sliding is usually a grip problem, not a sizing one. A suede or textured footbed grips bare skin far better than smooth lined leather, and a self-adhesive gel pad under the ball of the foot both cushions and holds. Tightening the ankle strap one hole often solves it outright, since a loose or unfastened strap lets the whole foot travel. If your toes overhang the front by more than a few millimetres, though, the sandal is short and no pad will fix it.
