Hobble no more in sky-high stilettos: This sturdy shoe trend just hit senior status.

The “grandma” heel — or the low block pumps and sandals — is gracing the fashionable feet of It girls and style bloggers everywhere. (Bad news, sneakerheads: It could be time to retire your ultra-clunky “dad” kicks, for good)

By Far — the Insta-famous Bulgarian label that cites Kendall Jenner, Priyanka Chopra and Michelle Obama as famous soulmates — has headed the wave with its minimal-chic designs and sensible silhouettes.

Affordable retailers Zara and Everlane, along with buzzy Brooklyn brand Suzanne Rae, are also offering up gran options. Wear ’em with socks now, or with a sundress for warmer temps ahead.
