Dreaming about these Alaïa boots:

http://www.farfetch.com/shopping/women/item10049134.aspx

Me too, jeje. Pity they only take up to 40IT (10US)

I wear only men's clothes. Jeans or kakis over my 4" heel boots. Had some looks but no comments on them. I haven't ventured with pumps or high heel sandals.

Those shoes are amazing, Booty_lover. I bought them last year by and they are really high (13.6cm). They are, certainly, my highest heels w/o platform; and the heel is incredibly thin. At first they seemed hard to walk in but with a couple of days of use I managed to handle them, but I can only do short steps on them. I don't think I'll be able to do street heeling easily with them yet. I have a pair of CL Dècollètte 868 which are much more friendly.

I think "garbo" is what makes a woman sexy. I don't know if there is an English word for that.

It's a combination of personality, the way she moves and looks, and her style. Nothing to do with apparel.

I believe Jimmy Choo goes up to 11cm in that type of sandal. Maybe you should try Louboutin instead. In my case all C.L. models with a 100mm heel are higher than that.

Maybe you should take a look a The Outnet. They have Louboutin DVs. check for the size, any way. I don't know if all sizes are avaliable.

I bought my Brian Atwood Nicos there last January.

Maybe you can get Jimmy Choos Indias at net a porter also.

Any heel above 4" is too much for an interview. Sadly, people DO judge by first impressions....even in this so called 'enlightened' age.

Anything eyecatching or intended to distract the interviewer should be taken as a wrong choice. If you are going to a job interview your skills regarding the application should count; and not other "assets".

In this case: short skirts, improper garment, heels over 3", maybe 3.5", excessive makeup, etc. should be taken as a bad note.

It depends on the type of job application, any way. It's not the same for a secretary or an assistant than for a hotel's public relations.

Bought these at Ricky Sarkany yesterday. I'm not that fond of platforms but, as I missed the boots in winter I felt the model was worth while. 15.5cm high and a 4.5 platform.

I found this picture on a 212 VIP add. I made a C&P from the site, but the quality is not very good. Check the sandals on the guy! Nice outfit.

I totally agree with you, jwhite44. In my case, most of the complaints were due to frustration. And she knows she can't challenge me with in the matter. She'll loose as my heels are usually higher than hers.

Too many times, jejeje

Here in Argentina I've seen some guys in cowboy boots that have maybe 1.5" heels. But heels, like in women footwear; 2", 3, or 4"; block or stiletto, in the street: never. Just myself

Good choice, Mr. X.

If I had the chance to get hold of a pair of Carries I would have done so long ago. Unfortunately the Guess/Marciano stores here don't sell shoes. I wouldn't doubt and go for them.

I've bought a few identical pairs, and have others which are the same model in different color. If I like the shoe and is comfortable... it's worth it.

I prefer almond toes. I have pointy toes and really they are not as comfortable. Regarding style, I believe the turning point around a Blahnik Carolyn. I think pointier heels are not very stylish. Any way, as a rule -at least for me-,a higher heel allows a pointier toe. My choice of a pointy style, at this time, would be a CL Pigalle.

Well... that's absolutely true. Specially if they are of poor leather or synthetic materials!

Yes, actually I have a good bunch of them. In boots, pumps and sandals. An unexpected pair were the Atwood Nico that I'm currently using in my avatar. They were extremely expensive but, last January I found them at an outlet, and in my size. I just couldn't resist the 65% off the price!

I found a pair of used Louboutin hyper prives in early 2009 on ebay...i was completely stunned that they were hardly worn, authentic and only $400. The owner claimed she had only worn them 3 times. Desparate for a pair of used Pigale 120's....

If you are desperate, Lance, I'd take the $595 deal on the site mentioned above.

I had to wait my size almost for two months, with both the Decolletes and the Pigalles.

I think it certainly depends on the shoe, and not on were do I use them. I might look for a sale or a bargain, but if I like it; I'll just buy it

Wow! Incredible shoes! Thanks!

acesecret, The Louboutin table is quite accurate. The point is that, regarding the price involved in "designer's" shoes, you should try them on first. Specially if you have 41/42 as size number. Many of these brands have those numbers avaliable -Louboutin, for instance- and there is nothing like it. I know it needs some guts to do it. And on the other hand, mine I bought through the Internet as I have no Louboutin store here in Argentina. Any way, London has brand stores where you can get those models... so trying them is a chance you shouldn't discard.

In my opinon some of the models walk a little clumsy. Any way, I could use those Rick Owens wedgies as well. The are pretty cool.

As far as I know, Internet stores should sell abroad without VAT. The goods I've bought through the internet from UK or The States have never specified if VAT is included or deducted from price; be it electronic hardware, clothes, shoes or mechanical spare parts for my car. Some do have a notice that say they include all taxes if your purchase is going to certain countries and you shouldn't pay any extra cost for your purchase. On the other hand, if you go to the local customes office -when exiting a country other than yours- they should refund the VAT on the things you are taking with you. I was never able to do this either because I found no customes office or because I hadn't the time from the airline counter to the boarding gate.

Nice sandals, JohnH.
