For years the Valentino Rockstud Heels were a pair of heels lived on my wish list and I longed to own them. Heels like this just suit my style down to an absolute tee. They have that beautiful and sexy silhouette while still having a grungy feel to them. These are literally my dream shoes and I want every single colour that they have available.
It wasn’t until I was the maid of honour for my sister a couple of years back that I decided that I deserved a treat. I did such a great job as MOH and for such a special occasion and that is when I went across to Selfridges in Manchester and I bought these absolutely stunning heels. Today, I want to take this time to chat to you about some of the key points on the shoes!
Heel Height.
Heel height is super important whenever speaking about heels. That is why I am leading with it in this blog post. I went for the highest heel height in these shoes and that is the 100mm option. However, I believe that they have two other heel heights which are smaller than this. For me the 100mm is perfect. I find that this is a perfectly manageable heel height. However, these do not make me feel like I am towering over people and they are sexy still. Any shorter heel height than these and I feel like I may as well be wearing flats!
Â
Colour of the Shoes.
I opted for nude because at the time, they went incredibly well with my bridesmaid dress. I needed these for my sister’s wedding and I am so glad that I went for these. Everybody needs a good pair of nude shoes in their collection. I think that the nude shade of these patent heels is just out of this world. I believe the colour of these shoes is Poudre. For me, it is just the best shade that I have ever seen these beautiful heels in. Because they are a nude they give the illusion of longer legs. That is something that I am always happy about that!
Â
Comfort Level.
Heels will only be comfortable to you, if you are an established heel wearer. I have high heels from countless brands and in comparison, I think that these are super comfortable for a pair of heels. The toe box is plenty wide enough for feet like mine which are on the broader side of the spectrum. I also feel like the straps up the foot and around the ankle really help your foot to feel supported in the shoes and that means that you walk much taller and with more confidence. If you are new to heels these will be uncomfortable, but for me I can walk all day in these with no issues
Â
Wearability.
Even though these stunning Valentino Rockstuds are a little more in your face than normal heels. That is because of the studs surrounding them. These have absolutely amazing wearability. I throw these on all of the time, and I think that they pair so well with so many outfits. I will wear them with dresses throughout summer months and I have my legs on show, throughout the winter when I am wearing a cashmere jumper and a pair of boyfriend fit jeans. No matter what the outfit is and the occasion, these are a great accompaniment.
Â
Price Tag.
When I bought these Valentino heels, they were £650 which is very expensive for a pair of heels when you can buy a pair of Jimmy Choo or Christian Louboutin’s for £450. I think that personally for me with how much I wear them, they are worth the cash, but I would say that it is definitely a purchase that you need to think long and hard about before jumping in with both feet. If these are going to be a special occasion shoe that you only bring out twice a year, it will take a very long time to get your cost per wear!
If you are thinking about treating yourself to a pair Valentino Rockstud heels that this blog post helps you. I wear these heels all of the time and reach for them continually. II am an avid heel lover and wearer. Think about the price tag relative to your income. How much you need to wear them in order for them to be a feasible purchase?
