I like the colour but not sure about the heel shape

I really like those - where are they from?

They're Jimmy Choo Amel 50s.

Does that mean you think the heel is ok? I tried them on and they felt sturdier than they look.

Yes - it's just a slightly more rounded classic kitten heel shape really isn't it?

Yes. I've been kitten-heel-avoidant for some years now 😂. I think I started to soften on them about a year ago, but haven't bought any yet.

They're ultra ugly both pointy toes and weird heels. I like the colour though.

Precipice · 15/12/2024 17:53

They look very uncomfortable and bad for your feet.

newname33887 · 15/12/2024 18:04

@GettingStuffed
I like the toes, just a little up in the air on the heels.

@Precipice
Surprisingly comfortable, actually! Not too worried about my feet as they're more, dressed up occasion than wear-all-day shoes

Dreadful.

I like them but personally wouldn't get enough wear out of them to justify JC prices. And if it matters to you, as you're late to the party on the kitten heel, you would be buying them past the peak of the trend. I think the unusual heel probably gives them more longevity than standard kitten heels but you do run the risk they might not work as well with newer clothing silhouettes in the future.

jigglywigglyhungryhippo · 15/12/2024 18:12

They remind me of something a 70 yr old headmistress would wear about 30 years ago!

dudsville · 15/12/2024 18:18

Gorgeous shoes!

roobyred · 15/12/2024 18:18

Don't like the heel at all. If that's your budget, how about the Chloe Marcie sling back?

Badburyrings · 15/12/2024 18:20

They look incredibly old fashioned. Like something from the 80's.

newname33887 · 15/12/2024 18:27

Thanks, all.

@botemp
Yes, a bit late, I know, but it's taken me a while to come around to them again.

@roobyred
I like those, but they look more work shoe to me. I want something red and party(ish).

@Badburyrings
How so?

I tried these, but thought they weren't very exciting

I like kitten heels, always have. I don't like these- they're sort of novelty kitten heels.

Nobody looks good in a kitten heel and I'll die on that hill.

WalterdelaMare · 15/12/2024 19:31

I always think kitten heels are very unflattering on the average leg. They look like pigs trotters. So it’s a no from me. I do like the colour though.

That's your opinion. Not a fact. If you want to talk about horrible shoes I think those those Esska platform soled shoes and sandals which get so much attention on here are unspeakably ugly.

CharlotteStreetW1 · 15/12/2024 19:41

I love a kitten heel but those are a no from me.

(I also loathed the kitten heel/round toe combo from 20 or so years ago. Just wrong.)

StormingNorman · 15/12/2024 19:42

Kitten heels = cankles

LivingDeadGirlUK · 15/12/2024 19:42

I like them, the colour is lovely and I think the heel is interesting, I'm not sure how much of the heel people would see though?

Onetimeonly2024 · 15/12/2024 19:45

Was in Jimmy Choo last weekend and most of their shoes have this heel. I don’t really get it? Plus I have weirdly shaped feet so sling backs never stay on. But if you love them op, buy them!

You've just ruined kitten heels for me.

BubblePerm · 15/12/2024 19:46

I like them. They look arty.

Doggymummar · 15/12/2024 19:48

Beautiful shoes, very on trend
