Schuh!

Because they make and sell a huge range of awesome heels, and their shoes are so well made and so comfortable! I'll wear my Schuh wedgies until they fall apart!

Faith, Schuh, Dune etc. Many of these brand names rebadge other people's shoes so it's sometimes difficult to tell what you are getting. Eg Dune rebadge Bronx. I've even bought ""dune" boots with the bronx X on the sole bottom.

Since you live in the US, let me recommend some brands that are common available here.

Nine West: intermediate priced, but I have had good shoes from them. Also, among fashion shoes they have pretty decent heels on them. Usually they carry up to size 11 in stores.

Franco Sarto: one of my favorite brands and available at many good shoe stores (and on the web). I have several pairs from Franco Sarto and find them to be well made and comfortable. Actually my daily work shoes are women's loafers from Franco Sarto and they are awesome.

I have also liked buying at Aldo, though the quality is a little more variable. Never go for their "all-plastic" shoes which they often try to sell as up-market. Their leather shoes can be a decent bargain. I have three pairs of boots from them.

In the somewhat cheaper category there is Parade of Shoes (only on the East Coast). This is the higher end store owned by the same company as Payless. Some shoes are good. Some are not stiff enough for my feet.

Finally there is Payless. Great deals. SOmetimes excellent shoes. Sometimes less so. Only buy after trying them on.

Connie. I find their boots require much less stretching to fit my foot and for my self they are the best fitting than most others.

These are probably re-badged as well. But I like Pleasure the best. They seem to be more comfortable. I've purchased Ellie and Jante as well. As for the dealers, Peirre Silber has been to the most reliable in delivery and order status.

I like Bandolino and Nine West. For Stiletto heels I've purchased shoes from Sexy Shoes and Wild Pair. Jante also fits me true to size. I've several pair with the Jante label. It's difficult to find 5 inch and higher heels in stores these days. I guess eBay continues to be the prime source for them unless you are willing to pay higher prices from places like La Piazza, Hayway, etc.

You could also try For Play online. They have a wide selection of higher heels, and have sales from time to time, especially if you get on their mailing list.

Yes sorry we were giving you the UK brands. I've always liked some of the styles Steve Madden gets. We can't those buy direct in the UK only on the net. We can get Nine West, I think they have a European arm. Anyway, you can get them in places like Top shop in Oxfrod street and I think they have their own store. They are good quality but I think they are very overpriced.
