Materials & Construction
Every pair of Russell & Bromley heels begins with carefully selected materials sourced from the finest European tanneries. We work exclusively with premium Italian leather, Spanish suede, and specialist metallic finishes that meet our exacting quality standards.
Our construction methods honour traditional shoemaking techniques while incorporating modern comfort innovations. Leather linings allow feet to breathe naturally, while cushioned insoles provide support exactly where it’s needed most. Each heel is balanced and tested to ensure stability across our full range of heights, from practical kitten heels to dramatic evening stilettos.
Sizing & Fit Guidance
Our heels follow standard UK sizing and generally fit true to size. We recommend ordering your usual Russell & Bromley size for most styles in our collection.
For customers between sizes, we suggest sizing up in pointed-toe styles and narrow-fitting designs like our strappy evening sandals. Block heel styles and those with rounded toes typically accommodate a wider foot comfortably at your regular size. Our slingback and adjustable ankle strap designs offer additional flexibility for varied foot shapes.
Care & Maintenance
Proper care extends the life of your heels significantly. We recommend using a high-quality leather cream or conditioner every four to six weeks to keep leather supple and prevent cracking. Suede styles benefit from regular brushing with a specialist suede brush to maintain the nap and remove surface dirt.
Store heels in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, ideally in the original dust bags or shoe boxes. Stuff the toe box with tissue paper to help maintain shape during storage. Avoid wearing the same pair on consecutive days — allowing 24 hours between wears lets the leather fully dry and recover its form.

Questions About Our Heels Collection
We offer heel heights ranging from 4cm kitten heels to 11cm stilettos. Our most popular mid-height range sits between 6-8cm, providing elegant elevation with all-day wearability. Many of our higher heels incorporate hidden platforms to reduce the effective pitch angle, making dramatic heights more comfortable than traditional constructions. Each style listing includes exact heel measurements to help you select the perfect height for your needs.
Leather heels benefit from regular conditioning every 4-6 weeks using quality leather cream to maintain suppleness and prevent cracking. Suede styles should be brushed regularly with a specialist suede brush to maintain the nap and remove surface dirt. Store all heels in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, ideally in dust bags or original boxes. Allow 24 hours between wears to let leather fully dry and recover its shape.

Our heels generally follow standard UK sizing and fit true to size for most customers. If you're between sizes, we recommend sizing up in pointed-toe styles and narrow-fitting designs like strappy evening sandals. Block heel styles and those with rounded toes typically accommodate wider feet comfortably at your regular size. Adjustable ankle straps and slingback designs offer additional flexibility for varied foot shapes. The leather naturally moulds to your foot during the first few wears, creating a personalised fit.
We source premium materials exclusively from the finest European tanneries and construct our heels using traditional shoemaking techniques combined with modern comfort innovations. Each pair undergoes multiple quality checks including hand-applied finishes, precisely aligned stitching, and balanced heel testing. Our leather-lined interiors, cushioned insoles with arch support, and carefully engineered heel heights deliver exceptional comfort and longevity. The investment in quality materials and construction means our heels maintain their appearance and comfort for years rather than seasons.
Comfort during extended wear depends on heel height and your personal tolerance. Our kitten heels (4-5cm) and mid-height styles (6-8cm) are designed for all-day wear with cushioned insoles and proper arch support. Higher heels work best for shorter durations, though our hidden platform constructions significantly improve comfort at dramatic heights. We recommend breaking in new heels gradually by wearing them at home for short periods first. The leather moulds to your foot shape over initial wears, improving comfort substantially.
Several styles in our collection accommodate wider feet comfortably. Block heel designs, rounded-toe courts, and styles with adjustable straps typically offer the most generous fit. Pointed-toe stilettos and narrow strappy sandals run slimmer by design. If you have wider feet, we recommend sizing up in fitted styles or choosing our more structured designs with broader toe boxes. Our customer service team can provide specific width guidance for individual styles, and we offer returns if the fit isn't quite right.
With proper care and maintenance, our heels easily last for years of regular wear. Customers frequently report wearing the same pairs for 3-5 years or longer while maintaining excellent condition. The quality of materials and construction means our heels can be professionally resoled and refurbished when needed, extending their life significantly beyond fast-fashion alternatives. Regular conditioning, appropriate storage, and rotating between multiple pairs helps maximize longevity. The investment in quality craftsmanship delivers exceptional value over time.
