Black Stilletto's any ideas

Black_Patent · 31st January 2008, 14:39

Hi,

Finding it strangely hard to track down a good quality pair of black stillettos.

I'm looking for the following in size 6 UK -

Black Patent Leather upper, with a 5" Black Patent Heel, a leather (or would except synthetic) beige sole. Would also prefer a more defined point at the front. Don't want any other straps or markings.
Also want a pair in standard Black Leather.

Any ideas, seem to find loads of cheap leather or patent look but not geniune leather.

Want a good quality because my wife will be wearing them in the office for the day, hence cheaper one's never seem so comfy.

Thanks

Thanks for the quick reply, but I could only see up to a 4" heel on the site, this is unfortunately too low.
Also would prefer if the company was in the UK.
Again thanks for the reply.

Leatherworks have a large selection of 4.5" and 5.5" stilletos. I've never shopped there but others in the forum have been happy customers. http://www.leatherworks.org.uk/

Black Patent, Welcome to the board.

There is always Rosa Shoes. Properly made by Italian craftsmen, but you/your wife or both have to like their particular style. Personally I think the very long pointed toe detracts a little from the shoe, but then it is my opinion and one mans meat etc..

Italian Heels is another good resource for high quality hand made leather shoes with the beige bottom you describe,. They have many styles with 120mm heels.

Thanks loads for your quick help, love the look of the Rosa shoes.

I know what you mean about the point, I think when the shoe is off it does look out of proportion, but when being worn the lines of the shoe look so sexy and glamourous especially teamed with some seamed stockings.

Thanks again

S L O W delivery but nice quality. They can make them in any height you want.

Also try searching for burlesque blue in ebay shops. They have some bargains on their ebay shop from time to time. I bought a pair of beige patent (really odd idea, but very sexy) 6 inch classic stiletto courts for 25 quid.

Good luck

I like the styles they have. I thought about ordering a pair to see how I liked them. However, no where in the order form was I able to find a place to select the size I need. How or where can I tell them the size to ship?

From what I saw of the site they are all made to measure...

They are indeed all made to measure. I saw on ebay that Burlesque Blue had a pair of lasts used for Prince's heels. I guess the owner used to work for TLSB. Anyway the shoes I have bought have all been really good quality and cheap for the craftmanship. Just be aware of the delivery times, one pair took 2 months to get to me.

Good luck
