My all time favorite style .... but the SW and other suppliers (Nine West, ect.,) are just too narrow for me.  Then, out of the blue, I saw a similar pair on EBAY in a 13W.  They have a slightly wider toe strap than the Nudist, but the concept is there.  They were from Forever 21.  Just love them - have multiple pairs in Black sparkle, flat black and nude (neutral)... Then out of the blue again, a similar pair from Shoe Dazzle/Just Fab in a 12 Wide that works fine.  I have three or four pairs from them in a neutral nude color.  My go to shoe for jaunts in all seasons (except sloppy winter days).

Same here ! My all time favorite too.

Another example of a barely there sandal from my collection, this time w/ a large ankle strap:

Those are beautiful sandals heelguypa!

The one w/ rhinestones really got my attention !

I like the "Nudist" sandals, but they are expensive!!  I have several pair of similar looking sandals that I wear and have gotten several compliments.  

have fun....   sf

Yes SF, quite expensive,  but it's worth every penny.

Thanks

I like the crossed ankle strap pair.  I've just seen so many and much of the others with the high piece in the back and single strap that I have gotten a bit bored with them - personal choice of course.  I did own a pair at one point and enjoyed them while I had them.

RonC, I should say to you, the crossed ankle strap style is a personal favorite too.

Love these, I have a similar pair of Steve Madden sandals that are so sexy, and look great with jeans.

This is true Bambam, they really look great with jeans!

These look great on you, @DeSalto. I have a pair of black "barely there" heels, but not SW brand, but rather ASOS or New Look, if I recall.

Thank you Jeremy. ASOS and NL had some great barely there sandals to sell. 

BTW, I love those wedges in your icon. ASOS, right ?

No SW nudists for me.  They are on my wishlist though  There was a  time about 2 years ago where these were all the rage with the celebs. You couldn't walk a red carpet without seeing at least 1 pair of these.

Yes, lots of celebrities showed their Nudists on the red carpet. 

But they are also an excellent choice to casual events.

They look nice on you. I have noticed the narrower the vamp the less comfortable the sandal. Then again that's why they make 10,000+ styles of heels! HappyinHeels

Thank you HappyinHeels. Altough the thin straps over the toes, they are really very comfortable. Some other barely there sandals I own have wider straps but are not as comfortable as the Nudist. Very well-constructed sandals !

Some other barely there sandals of mine - the black ones.

P.S. - Sorry,  no pedicure this time 

I always loved those "barely there" sandals. Two straps only: an ankle strap and the strap over the toes. I own more than a dozen pairs of this model.

For a long time I've been wanting to buy a Stuart Weitzman Nudist, which for me is one of the most amazing barely there sandals.

Recently I bought a pair. It's really a wonderful sandal. Super high but comfortable. Sexy. 

I wonder who else is a fan of "barely there" stilettos. Any other happy owners of SW Nudist ?

A recente acquisition, ankle strap pumps with back bow.

They are the "Drielly Suede Pump", from brazilian brand Schutz.

Hope you like them

Thanks!!
And yes - I just love how the straps tug at my ankles...

 BTW, the cork wedges in your avatar are amazing!

Hi DeSalto - these sandals look fabulous!

I love the delicate look of the first pair (I have a similar pair from New Look, in leather - see https://hhplace.org/gallery/image/7762-new-look-barely-there-sandals/

and the more chunky pair also has definite appeal to it. I don't have any red heels, but they certainly shout "look at me"

I also really love the ankle strap style in general, so these are definite winners!

Enjoy them!

 

Your black sandals are great Jeremy! 

About the ankle straps, most of my heels have them. I love the look and the feeling, they are almost always my choice of style!

DeSalto,

The first pair aren't anything I have but the second pair with the chunky heels reminds me of several I have with the same exact bottom. Very  retro!  HappyinHeels

Yes, retro is a perfect word to describe those sandals.

About the first pair, I haven't seen msny guys here wearing that style. I wonder if anyone here have a pair of Weitzman Nudists...

Hi guys !

Back after  a long time out....

To celebrate, some recent acquisitions:

1) Black suede two part sandals from Schutz - Really love them, I have the same model, from the same brand, in 4 others colors...

2) Red suede platform ankle strap sandals, also from Schutz. 

Hope you like them!

This is really skateboarding in hiheels!

Rubbeldiekatz ("Woman in Love") is a german movie with a story similar to Dustin Hoffmans's "Tootsie".

The main actor disguises himself as a woman to get a job as an actress.

And he wears some awesome heels.

There are an incredible pair of ankle boots with stiletto metal heels.

Search for the movie at www.imdb.com and see for yourselves.

Some scenes from the movie can also be found on youtube.

They are brazilian 39 - EUR 41 - US 10. And you are right, most brazilian brands (but not all) sells heels up to this size. But heels are not that expensive: there are expensive pairs over EUR 200,00, but you can find nice pairs starting at EUR 20,00 and really great heels at EUR 50,00. These sandals costed me EUR 40,00 in a sale.

I try to avoid too...but I really can't resist...the urge to buy a new heel is stronger than me

This is the picture from me wearing my GF last gift, as told in my last post.

The gift is the peeptoe pump in first picture. The second one is an old ankle strap peeptoe sandal.

Both heels are in fucsia and made by the same brazilian manufacturer.

My latest red sandal.

It's a jelly sandal from the brazilian brand Melissa.

This model is called Eletric, in galapagos red .

I have about 10-12 pairs of heels. My girlfriend has roughly the same amount but she probably has more shoes in general. Also I haven't seen her entire collection all at once so I could be pretty off base.

To anyone who has a 100+ pairs of heels: how...?

I'll tell you: buy, and buy, and buy, and buy...and never stop buying.

When I see a pair I like, w/ a reasonable price - bingo, it' mine.

Thightbootguy, TKS !

I have seen the movies from Mariah. Fantastic adventures in heels.

oh.....no one from Germany here ?

Almost even but she has the advantage of 4 storage laocations.

Al

That's the same here, almost the same number of heels with less than half the space to store them.

HappyinHeels, Yes, I' from Brasil (as brazilians spell) or Brazil as you write. And I'm from Rio also. Yes, there are many shoe stores here, for all tastes. I think that many brazilian women are kind of shoe addicted....lol Many of them, when sad, they go to a shoe store to buy a new pair (it's funny but it's true, believe me)...lol Did you buy any heels here ?

I'm going to Germany in a few weeks, and was wondering where to buy some nice heels in Berlin. I'm looking for fetisch or girlie shoes in size US12 - EU 43/44, 5 inches high or more. Any tips ?

I was taking a a look at my collection of heels: + 100 pairs, far away more than my male shoes. My wife also has a large collection of heels, I'm not shure how many but possibly more than me, because she also has a thing for shoes. I was wondering: since all of us are addicted to heels but not necessarily our wifes or girlfriends, who owns more pairs of heels ? You or your partner ?

Vinheel, They are from a brazilian brand called Via Uno. There are also some stores in Paris.
