    Hello all, I have just purchased some new sandals, Michael Kors Oksana in what they call "luggage," and what I call "tan." Some months ago, I bought an identical pair in black, and I liked them so much, I wanted a pair in tan as well. The retail price for these sandals is well over $100, and I'm not willing to pay anywhere near that, so I usually shop on ebay or some other online outlet to get a deeply discounted price. I picked these up for under $50, shipping included. I usually take size 8.5 in sandals, but all I could find in my price range was a 9. Since I know this brand, I knew that 9 would be fine, and it is.

    Here's where the story gets a little bit strange. When the sandals arrived, I noticed immediately that there was something different about them compared to my black pair. It didn't take too much investigation to find out what. The heel height is a full 3/8" (1 cm) higher than the black pair. I have experience with this phenomenon, that is, of heel heights being slightly higher as the size gets bigger, but I've never seen such a drastic difference in 1/2 a size before. I have several other shoes where I bought more than one pair of the same model 1/2 size different, I even have a different Michael Kors sandal model in both 8 1/2 and 9, and the difference in heel height is less than 1/8" between these sizes.

    In a way I feel lucky, because the steeper tan heels are way cooler looking, incrementally of course, than their less-inclined black siblings, but the thing is, the difference is enough to noticeably affect the whole feel of the shoe, and it's right at the limit of what I can wear gracefully. I guess I'll have to work on my ankle flexibility some more.

    Has anyone else ever seen such a big difference in heel height within the same model of shoe? I am curious.

    Oh, I forgot to include important information for those of you who are interested. The height of the taller heels is 5 1/2", and the shorter heels measure a mere 5 1/8". The platforms on both are identical at 1".

    These are my boots, Tina. The Demonia Torment platform boots are 5 inches high (best guess) with a thick platform, and my Pleaser Domina 2000 boots are 6 inches high. The latter are really worn out now but they're still a joy to walk in.

    JeffB,  that is a great coordinated look!  The neck ware, and watch really completes the image.  (I didn't say this but, even the slides look good).  May I suggest that if you have your glasses prescription, you look at something like zennioptical.com for a pair of inexpensive feminine frames.

    Glasses

    Again...great look!

    Welcome back and thank you for complimenting the boyz. It's been awhile since I can recall hearing from you, and a lot has changed.

    The question I was wondering is - -  What kinds of heels do you like to see on men..

    all heights & styles

  7. any were my stilettos can get stuck in,like cracks,sewer grates,deck boards,tar.

    I have problems when my heel gets suck in a crack or grate and I walk out of the shoe and have to go back and retrieve it. Embarassing!

    I also hate having to walk in gravel because I'm afraid it's going to ruin my heels so I have to stay on my tippy toes. I hate trying to walk in sand or mud, what a mess!

    i really hate mud also
