Default i'm pleased with this!

i bought these 7.5 inch heels a couple of years ago and wore them to several events over a black body suit. they certainly worked in the attention getting department.

the problem was getting in and out of them. those laces up to the knee, even with the zipper on the back was very tedious. when i'm strapping on my 7.5 inch heels for a night on the town i like it quick and easy so i'm out the door and on my way a lot quicker. today i made some changes to them. i took the scissors and cut the zipper out. for the finishing touch i took them over to the tailor and he sewed the backs closed and now it feels like i have a brand new pair of shoes!
these ones have the same slim line heel that my sunset strip brand from pierre silber has, which is my fave style. they are a lot more slimmer and elegant than my pleaser brand which is more like hardware. so i am very pleased with today's modifications.
would love to know what you think.

Whatever works for you, w6ish. IMHO they looked better before the mod. But I can understand why you wanted to do it. All in all they don't look bad though.
