Only if you can walk in them... You'd look a right fool if you're wearing the most gorgeous high spikes, but can't let go of the furniture :)

Are we speaking from experience here?!

No, I've never had that problem. Besides, I'd need a f*****g big car to hide my 200 pairs!!!

We should measure heels by the amount the incline, not by the heel height... then it'd be uniform across the board.

This is not so. I once met a girl with size 3(UK) feet who could manage 6" heels (and had a pair made for her wedding) and I know a guy with size 12 feet who cannot wear any more than 4".

Hi Brad,

pardon me for my late answer, I wasn't online the last days.

No, I have no blade heels in my boots collection. I don't like this style. Sorry, at the risk to appear intolerant, blade heels remind me of children bicycles with two supporting wheels :lol:

But this is only my own opinion; don't let spoil you your taste! But for a shrill performance in the shopping mall I prefer real stilettos :D

nice greetings

Is there a reason why he can't handle more than 4"? I'd love to go higher than 4" if I can find a pair of 5+" non-platform heels in my size. I don't know if I could take it, but at least I'd try.

Hi Jeff,

reminds me to my problem: I'm 6' 4'' tall and wear EU 44/45 (UK womens 11 rsp. US womens 13).

For me it's much more difficult to find moderate heel heights than extreme stilettos. No problem to buy 8'' ballet boots in my size but impossible to wear such extreme shoes in daily life!

The problem is to find beautiful and fashionable styles in my size or simply boots with 3'' or 4'' block heels. Most of my time I wear my male style girlie plateau boots from Buffalo (1.5'' soles and 4.5'' block heels). I bought them in the biggest available size 42. They are truly 43 but they are still too narrow for me.

Therefore I was glad to find my new fashionable pointed boots with thin 4.5'' stiletto heels. They look "awfully" feminine. But I can walk comfortably on them and on these boots I match still to standard 2-m-door frames :lol:. May be that people are staring at me - but it's a fun!

PS: My regard to your courage to wear high heels at work! As a freelancer I have to be more modest.

I can second the recommendation of HayWay Shoes.

They even sent me two pairs (while charging me for just one) and let me try them out at home, and return the pair I did not want to keep. Do note that I also was buying for the first (but not the last... :D ) time from them, so they had no previous track record of my sincerity.

The only complaint one can make is that they (apart from the clogs) only seem to go for man-made materials, but they *do* state these facts quite clearly, so it does not come as a surprise. -Pity, I wonder if one should ask them about the possibility to have a pair done in real leather...

For leather, I'll guess you need The Little Shoe Box or Leatherworks, with prices to match.
