💔 A Heartfelt Goodbye to Our Community 💔
After 23 years on Carnaby Street, we're closing our doors for good. For more than two decades, Rowena devoted herself to crafting orthopaedic heels for women who knew the feeling all too well — sore arches, aching feet and a tired lower back after every long day. Following her recent diagnosis, she and James have made the difficult decision to step away. As our way of saying thank you, we're offering our community the lowest prices we've ever offered — one last time.

Orthopaedic Heels — Comfort Without Compromise
At Rowena London, we believe you shouldn't have to choose between a beautiful heel and a comfortable one. Every pair of women's orthopaedic heels (or "orthopedic heels", if you're shopping from the US) is built around a cushioned, contoured footbed with genuine arch support, a padded insole and a lower, stable block heel that takes the pressure off the ball of your foot.
Are orthopaedic heels good for your feet?
Yes — a well-made orthopaedic heel supports the arch, cushions the heel strike and keeps your foot stable, which helps reduce the sore arches, aching soles and lower-back fatigue that come with traditional stilettos. The lower block heel also keeps your weight evenly distributed.
Do these heels have arch support?
Every style in this collection has a contoured footbed with built-in arch support and a padded insole, so the comfort is engineered in rather than added on top.
Are they suitable for bunions or wider feet?
The rounded and almond toe shapes give your toes room to spread, and the soft leather and suede uppers flex with your foot — making these a comfortable choice if you have bunions or slightly wider feet. If you're between sizes, we'd suggest sizing up.
What heel height should I expect?
Our orthopaedic heels sit at a comfortable low-to-mid block height — tall enough to feel elegant, low enough to wear all day, whether that's the office, a wedding or a long day on your feet.
