If you had been in the U.S. in the early 1970's, you would have found similar styles in many, but not all, guy's shoe stores

5.5heels

I bought a pair of the block heels from 6 inch heels forever a few years ago and they're the most solid boots I've got () I've no time for cheap bendy soggy heels). Slight snag though - the heel wasn't very tightly screwed on to the sole so I pulled up the (suede - nice) insole, undid the screw, prized the heel forward a bit, put some super strong glue in (Araldite - not superglue as it's brittle) and screwed it back on. It'e solid as a rock now. I really like solid feeling boots that hold my ankles and feet really steady (not overtight - just very supportive) and these are my favourite if I need to stay on my feet for hours.

This was a few years ago when they advertised them in any height you like so I got 5.5 inch heels and they were bang on. I ordered size 47 and seeing as it was custom, I got them in knee high with quick lace ups. I gave my exact leg measurements and everything was again, exactly right. Thick solid leather too - again what I wanted. They were much cheaper then - about £130 from memory.

In short, they made them precicely to my specifications - something other custom boot makers seem to have struggled with. I also have a pair of their V16SA pumps and they're really solid too. A lot of shoes I've got feel a bit too flexible and therefore unstable - big size makes it worse I guess.

As for sizes - their measurement chart is pretty accurate - measured my foot lenght and they fit fine.

Their timekeeping and communication isn't the best though - mine both took about a month longer than quoted. Their email system seems to junk a lot of their incoming mail. If you're willing to be patient, I'd recommend them - I'll be ordering more from them one day.

Wow 5.5heels, thanks for sharing your experience!

Have good experiences with their communication (Only one time, i replied to a wrong adress). But same problem here with their timekeeping, last i heard it was also delayed for one month. But if the quality is good, i don't really mind....

just as i received a mail concerning there was a reply on this thread, the Mailman rang the door!!! unbelievable...

i just got them!!
eventhough my enthusiasm was kinda gone since i lost count of the many many weeks i was waiting, i have to say the heels are fine...

they fit almost perfectly!! maybe al little, really a little to large, but i think i can fix that with those pads for underneath the ball of the foot (which make it possible to walk even longer on these heels.)

the strange thing is.... well when i unpack them.. it's like unpacking normal mens shoes. I didn't get really well arroused orso :) they actually look so ordinary, lol (perfect for streetwalking thus :P)

Can't wait to wear them outdoors.

A full review, with pictures and video concerning quality etc etc will follow


kind regards, Dizzy

Thanks, We all appreciate your willingness to tell us all about this transaction.
