I would absolutely love to know how these two pairs of boots came into existence. Any takers?

These could easily be custom made, so I don't expect anyone to recognize them. Just curious!

I actually just found your explanation in the other forum, it was very informative. Thanks!

Can anyone attest to the arch quality difference between a custom made pair of 6 inch heels from, say, 6ihf, and your regular Pleaser 6 inchers? Does anyone own both? Clearly there's a quality difference, but I'm wondering if the difference is more in materials & durability than functionality.

I myself top out around 5.5'', but I'm wondering if 6'' would be achievable through superior quality. Thoughts?

Unfortunately you cannot send a message to a facebook page, only a facebook profile.

Probably just going to spam them with emails until they respond. Six months is insanity.

I tend to talk to the person at the top when it starts taking too long.

 

If you haven't contacted Gina QOH, then I would make that my next contact.

I've tried, at least.

All,  While I agree our concept of customer service may differ from that outside the USA or Canada one has to realize that this shoe was being ordered from outside the USA because the desired product was not available inside the USA so those North American expectations have to be modified accordingly. I find, whether it's in international travels within the scope of my work or on vacation, that  a sense of humour, the virtue of patience, and a willingness to adapt to nearly any environment makes life in general much more manageable...and enjoyable. Your heels will arrive eventually and  when they do you'll undoubtedly have something amazing on your feet making the wait worth it.   HappyinHeels

Um, alright. But I don't think waiting five months for something is justifiable, especially without responses. I'm just chalking it up as a major mistake purchase. Buyer Beware, as they say.

I guess "customer service" varies by culture...

Five months and counting

Perhaps a PM on this site would be more direct.

I'm sure a lot of you are familiar with this site, so I'm wondering if this might be a shared experience:

I placed an order with them back in November (from the US) and have heard very little from since then about it, despite a bunch of emails. I'm pretty bummed because it was a $170 purchase that I'm pretty sure I won't see again. Purchases like these aren't eligible for refund via Paypal, or so I've been told. 

Anyone else have trouble with these people/feel like they've been scammed?

That's what I thought, but the heels on the right seem... cheaper? I don't know. It was just a facebook picture, not a modeling one, so I was thinking they may have been lower-end. Who knows.

Here's a repost of the original two (the link broke) and a third pair I'm wondering about. Call it if you know it! Thanks

Cool, thanks. I also found another pair that got my attention, but again have no idea what they are:

I discovered these two shoes on the Internet some time ago, they obviously had no recognition. Can anyone identify either one of them??

I'm working on that now. Its about 45 layers of cut/stacked cardboard, so it compresses a little, but I think I can use a splint of some kind for the back that will reduce it. But yeah, total cost was $7 and only took two days.

I'm impressed with your work so far. I just made another pair myself, but exclusively out of cardboard and duct tape. Only took about 10 hours total. Just a hobby of mine. But I'm sure yours will be a lot more gratifying!

Sometimes you just can't find what you want. Over the years I've made several attempts at making my own heels, but was never able to accomplish anything durable. Does anyone have any experience at making their own, without the use of power tools?

Looks like a new favorite website to me!

I'd love to find more media regarding stuck heels (stuck on as a opposed to stuck in, like so many of those youtube videos,) but they're few and far between it seems.

Interesting, I never knew any of that

Ok, so the neiman Marcus outlet knocked a bit more off the price.. Got the Rick Owens boots for probably 86% off. This makes the original Bergdorf Goodman price tag of $1595 a bit easier to swallow.

These are high. 6 inch actual heel, with about an inch of platform. They will take some practice to wear quite a bit out in public, but are comfortable on the feet, even if my lower legs let me know they are not very happy with me yet.

I love those!

Makes sense, I guess we're not 'most people'

Those look very nice. Who was the seller?

They look like a lot of fun to try to make. Last year I used stacked balsa wood to make a pair of my own, but cutting it just right layer after layer was difficult, and with a final count of 62 layers, not something I'd want to try again. Cardboard seems a lot easier and cheaper... and disposable.

I think 'Health' is really more 'self actualization' than just physical well being... confidence is probably a huge factor

7 Inch heels in a shoe store? Must be one hell of a store!
