$48,99 at the Onlymaker website directly, so even less in Euros.
Just go for it.

So get them from Onlymaker. At least then you know they will be good and at a good price. Ordering something like that from Ali or Ebay will be crapshoot. It might not look like on the pictures and God help you with the sizings.

The Ukraine is slowly going down the shitter. It used to be only corrupt officials and oligarchs wrecking the country, now globalism and feminism are spreading there as well.

Really, everyone has their own taste.
Personally, any closed toed pumps, slings, d'orsays, or T-Straps with High thin heels and low cut mildly revealing vamps with single or very minimal platformed soles.
Good luck finding women who still wears those. 1 in thousands maybe. I'm glad already to seem them wearing ballet flats as opposed to sneakers, uggs, crocs or those accursed combat style boots.

There are no better shoes for gardenwork than crocs, i do love them in the garden. But i would not dare to go outside in crocs. And i do not see crocs worn by other people outside. What i see is sneakers, and now that summer is gone the colour seems to shift from white to black. And with young girls ballet flats start to trickle in, i do hope this trend continues
I do hope so. Ballet flats is the sexiest a woman can look in flats.

Not a fan of the rear place straight heel and extended toe. 5inch on a 44 looks a bit low compared to the Penelope. The Penelope seems to be a more classic pump.
That's the downside of having larger feet. 5" becomes the new 4" basically.

You have a good eye, a little accident stepping on something hard that I shouldn't. It wasn't a factory defect if you're worried.

Were heels actually being worn by men in general before the French Revolution or just the nobility? Which seems to be far more likely as there were rules in class society as to what you were allowed to wear. Also I don't think men have a natural taste or desire to wear heels. It started out as cavalry wear, and we don't have much cavalry left in the world, then as a way for noble toffs to set themselves apart from the common folk. Today, for most men wearing heels is a sexual fetish and sexual fetishization involving objects of the opposite sex depends on what objects the opposite sex actually wears. I'm sure that in the 17th and 18th century there was probably a sexual fetish of men regarding female wigs or those giant hooped skirts. Try still finding those. Similarly, if the trends regarding high heel wearing by women continue in a few decades they will be gone completely, and so will men's sexual fetishes regarding them. Of course, maybe the high heel as a fetish item might soldier on, just like the corset did.
Also, fun fact: By law women in Iran are forced to wear pants and trousers. You gotta wear trousers with a coat and a scarf covering their hair. No skirts allowed.

I am somewhat sceptical that the claimed Eu44 is correct; more likely to be the advertised UK9 and possibly not even that big. But I hope you get what you want; please let us know.
They arrived, I posted pics here:
I think I now understand what went wrong with the Penelope's. I thought they were sized UK9/EU43, turns out they were UK9/EU42. Really, is it too hard to ask for consistent sizing, shoe industry? Anyway, so now I got a pair of size UK11/EU44. Overshot my mark with one size as it were. Not going to send them back though. They look good, even though there is a slight gap in the back when wearing, but overall they're a snug fit, so I'm not going to risk it.

I bought a pair of Passion pumps from Asos, which like the Penelope has a 5" heel, but which unlike the Penelope was available up to size EU44. I had previously ordered a pair of Penelope's sized UK9 and they didn't fit so I had to return them. Seeing that these were on offer in a size larger made me order them. Plus they basically look like the Penelope just with a slightly longer point.
Unlike the Penelope these fit, be it with a slight gap at the back. Which upon further examination became clear:
They're size UK11, not the UK10 that I thought. Not that it matters much. The shoe fits quite snugly and I'm happy with it. And I dig the chocolate color.

True, but why would one want to?
Why do people skydive and freefall? Why do they freedive? Climb mountains without ropes? Mountainbike down narrow paths and steep ravines? Or the ultimate extreme sport thing (in a way), join a military and go to war? Because some people are adrenaline junkies. And when you overcome your own personal fear and reach that goal you will feel an immense rush and sense of accomplishment.

Imagine a crate breaking when trying to climb the last step to the top and the stack tumbling down. Maybe it would be safe with new crates, but with used ones like you see in many videos it might be not the best idea.
And that is why you would fail such tests. That voice inside your head telling you to imagine what would happen if ..... It's a healthy instinct that served us well to survive dangerous risks. But it also serves to separates the Elon Musks and Jeff Bezos's of the world from you or me. Where you and I would go that is extremely risky, they would go why not? And when you fail, you can fail big, but when you win, you can also win big. Who dares wins. Or loses. But who dares nothing will win nothing.
Although I agree that in this case the benefits do not outweigh the risks, as there is nothing to be gained by risking your life to do a crate challenge. Other then getting some likes on the internet from complete strangers. Which I reckon is like winning a billion dollars or euros to some people.

Usually UK9 is listed as EU43. The Penelope's were listed as such. So we shall see.

Passion shown in two colours, but nothing larger than UK9 shown, and sizing suspect according to some reviews: https://www.asos.com/asos-design/asos-design-passion-stiletto-court-shoes-in-chocolate/prd/200406684?colourwayid=200406686&SearchQuery=passion
Penelope likewise although tan sold out: https://www.asos.com/asos-design/asos-design-penelope-stiletto-court-shoes-in-beige-patent/prd/12171041?colourwayid=16455145&SearchQuery=penelope
The Dutch Asos site has them going up to size EU44.
I'll give them a try and if not, I'll just return them like I did with the Penelope's.

In my area it is only white sneakers (my youngest son just bought 2 pairs a few days ago). While the stores are full with black combat boots it seems nobody is wearing them, except for some goth people or Nazis. The shoe industry is pushing the black combat boots, but it does not work. Most people think a guy or girl in these boots is to far to the right politically.
Here its far more mixed. 65/35 in favor of sneakers, but so so SO many of the young students I see wear those accursed black boots. Even with short skirts and tights. It's like I'm back in the dark days of the Grunge 90's again. Maybe Germany is an exception to the rule because you guys see nazi's everywhere except where they really are, on the extreme left.

Most people don't want to be express individuality. They want to applauded by the group. Which in their mind usually means conformity. Which means white sneakers, or those accursed black combat boots, are now considered group approved expressions of 'individuality', while heels are either for slutting it up at the club or for when you really need to look at your best. And for that white sneakers and those black combat boots are now also approved footwear.
As for our gay brethren, it's no secret that I think that it only takes one clearly gay dude in heels to firmly entrench the stereotype in other people's minds that wearing heels is gay. And the more flaming gay, the worse the damage will be.

It does seem that most ASOS own-brand shoes come up small. My UK13 boots are certainly not too big on my UK11-12 feet. (I'm wondering what, if any, women's styles will be offered by ASOS in sizes above UK10 this winter?)
I just saw that Asos has a similar model called Passion, 5" heel and best of all, goes up to size UK10. Or EU44. I'll give those a try.

That looks dangerous, i would not do it, even in flats.
Having done some wall climbing and tai chi I think its all a question of finding your balance and overcoming that voice in your head that says you can't do this. Once you can overcome that voice and got balance you can do this.

Since you are Germany, are you acquainted with Gina, Queen of heels? And is Lapiazza still open?
La Piazza was mostly reselling Leatherworks heels, so when they went out of business so did a great many of the resellers.

I think they are ASOS Penelope in tan, 5" heel: https://www.asos.com/asos-design/asos-design-penelope-stiletto-court-shoes-in-tan/prd/20392718 Shown now as out of stock but others colours still available.
If I'm wrong, the Penelope might still appeal to you!
I ordered those in size EU43. Sadly I had to return them because they didn't fit. They felt more like EU42.

Why stop at two? Why not 3 or 4 or 5 .....
Or maybe they should combine those heels into something like......, wait for it......, a chunky heel or a wedge? 😁

It’s a bit like being in a union - if you’re not a paid up member of the disenfranchised classes, none of the diversity and inclusivity clauses apply to you.
You don't even have to pay to be a member of that class. Nor can you. At least you can join a union. You can only be born into a victim or oppressor class and you can never change it. Unless you as a member of the privileged victim class says something that goes against the group think. Like Niki Minaj. This is why identity politics and CRT are so evil.

Chorlini, Digging up some old posts. Dated responses.
Pebblesf, too bad you didn't actually approach him, sure he'd appreciate it. I know I do and think you do too.
That's what you can get when someone else digs up old threads.

Knowing what they really think about you can never hurt. You may not like hearing it but if bad you at least know where you stand with them.

I almost always wear heels to work and every place else. Have been since 2015. 2 years ago I started to wear knee high stiletto boots over my skinny jeans.
I had a chat (meet and greet) with a new administrator last week over ZOOM. During the chat I asked if he heard about the guy who wears heels, and he said yes so I said that I was the guy. So it is something that the upper management talks about.
Would have been really interesting though if you asked him his opinions before revealing yourself.

Unusual Heel Uses

I think that would apply to a lot of men who wear heels. They do it because its a fetish to them, and if the woman won't do it, or they don't have one, they'll start doing it themselves. And you seem to be exceptionally well served in that department by your wife. So why bother?
