I love shoes. In my closet, pairs of shoes outnumber pairs of pants six to one (not including sweats and leggings). In particular, I enjoy 3"+ high heels. It's easy to find good looking heels at a variety of price points. However, it is much more challenging to find good looking heels that are also comfortable and well fitting, at any price point. That is why I am very impressed with these Nine West Rocha's. They are extremely comfortable, due to the construction of the sole and the placement of the heel. (I also suggest trying a full sole insert for high heels, which can make a significant difference as far as comfort is concerned. In my personal case, I purchase my heels 1-2 sizes up and then add inserts.) Even without the inserts, these Rocha's are really decent and wearable for many hours. Recently, I compared these side by side to my black Prada pumps of the same height. While I prefer Prada's narrower construction, the comfort of the heel base was incomparable. These cheap Nine West Rocha's outperformed my Prada's hands down! However, if you haven't worn 3"+ heels much before, I suggest easing yourself in with shorter heels or even platforms and not jumping straight into these.
