Hi All, I am planning to purchase the Jimmy Choo Romy heels but I am not sure about the comfort in the long run. Can anybody please give a review of them? I love heels since I was a young girl and I would love to invest in a pair that I can get many wears out of and will last. I am starting to wear heels again after 5 years I fractured my foot and a doctor's misdiagnosis. Thank you :)

I have the Jimmy Choo Love heels in suede nude and they are very comfortable.
I remember trying on both the Love and the Romy heels when I was in the store and I recall that the Love covers the toes more while the Romy shoes more toe cleavage.
The greater surface area of the Love may provide more support but after a while, they may feel relatively uncomfortable (as your feet swell) if you're not used to wearing heels for long periods of time.

I highly recommend trying them on in stores and walking/standing in them for a while, if you have not done so yet.

Generally the easiest to break in are suede, then calfskin, and the hardest is patent leather. (Fabric/mesh/plastic depends)

I don't want to say too much because I wear heels on a semi-regular basis. I am very used to wearing heels for long periods of time, and I prefer to wear heels that are 3 - 5 inches in length. I also can tolerate some uncomfortable heels and so my threshold for pain and discomfort may be higher than yours.
Taking in your medical history, I don't want to give you too much hope and just say it's fine to jump into it. If you haven't done so yet, maybe ease into it with more form fitting shoes/flats, then a low heel, etc. If you can wear those without much issue, then it's easier to take the plunge into designer heels.

Hope that helps! Good luck!

Many thanks for your feedback. A few months ago, I tried walking in a pair of 8cm heels for couple of hours and my feet were fine. That’s why I think it’s time for me to invest in a quality pair as I will only wear them for a couple of hours if needed Can I also check how you maintain the sole?

No problem!
That's good to hear! :tup:
I just stick on a sole protector. One of those stickers I need to cut out from Amazon. Nothing too special. I just try not to get something too thick because that can throw off the plane of the sole compared to the heel/stilletto.
(As in, both the sole and the heel/stilletto should be on the same plane for the wearer to be more stable. If one is higher than the other, that tilts at an angle and can be hard to stand or walk in.[at least for me])

For any other pump with a heel/stilletto that is not a normal point. (Like a YSL opium pump), I've realized that a sole protector will not do. It will throw off the balance and it is better to just wear the shoe as is.

Honestly it's just practice.

If you want to sort of break them in, you can wear them to lunch or dinner.
That way you're not walking around too much, since you'll be spending most of your time sitting and eating.

Another thing to be aware of is where you put your weight and how your weight shifts when you walk.
It varies for each person based on our gait, our frame, and bone structure, so I can't give you any specific instructions.
But as you walk in heels, feel where your weight is placed and change it accordingly to what makes you feel the most stable when you walk.

You'll also find out that you may need to shift your weight differently when you are walking, standing, or dancing.

Once you figure out what works for you, then it's just practice and getting used to wearing heels!

Good luck and have fun! :tup:
