Rating My Shoe Closet 👠✨
I’ve loved playing dress-up for as long as I can remember, always stealing my mom’s or sisters’ heels. I basically became a pro in stilettos by 12, so trust me when I say these ratings are valid ðŸ˜
Rating them on looks, comfort, and how long I can realistically last in them. Some are worth the pain… others absolutely are not. Let me know if you want a part 2!

Having spent years experimenting with various brands and styles of heels, I can definitely relate to the highs and lows of balancing style with comfort. For example, the J'Adior by Dior is consistently praised not just for its chic look but also for its surprising comfort, which makes it a staple in many wardrobes. On the other hand, some stunning designs like Saint Laurent's can be absolute torture if you need to be on your feet for long periods. One of the biggest challenges I've faced with designer heels is finding options that accommodate wider feet without sacrificing aesthetics. The Tom Ford pair you mentioned hits this issue right on the nose—they look gorgeous but aren't practical for wider feet, which is a common problem for many shoe lovers. That's why it's always worth trying shoes on for comfort before purchasing, especially high heels, to avoid painful surprises. The Amazon heels scoring a perfect 10/10 in your list are a fantastic find. It proves that affordable shoes can also be stylish and comfortable enough for full-day wear. I’ve personally found that brands focusing on comfort technologies—like cushioned insoles and sturdy heels—make a huge difference when wearing heels throughout a busy day. Also, the struggle with heel straps like in the Aquazzura shoes is something I’ve endured as well. It can be frustrating when design elements don’t function well practically. Adjusting strap size or modifications from a cobbler sometimes help, but it’s another factor to consider when rating shoes. Lastly, owning iconic shoes like the Christian Louboutin So Kate is every shoe lover’s dream, but knowing when to wear them is key. They might not be your go-to for long walks or high-energy events but can elevate an outfit beautifully for shorter durations or special occasions. In summary, rating shoes on looks, comfort, and wearability is a great way to understand your collection better and decide which to keep for different needs. If you continue this series, I’d love to hear more about your experiences with other brands and how you care for your shoe collection to keep them looking new and feeling great!
