Ah - Yes
Haven't been around much lately, but the same debate lingers on. Single sole vs Platforms.
I like both. Most of my boots I wear out in public are single sole, but if I can, I like a bit of platform. 3/8" to 1/2" is good. Prefer not to feel every pebble I step on, and I step on a lot of them.
I usually have a platform at the house, especially in the kitchen. Wife is short, so I wear my "Elevators" to reach the items on the top shelf of the kitchen cabinets since they are taller than most cabinets. Beyond that, I usually find they are sturdier and often more stable.
Now - for the New Shoe's catagory - - After reading about how comfortable the Jessica Simpson Dany heels were, and I don't have a T-strap heel, I decided to splurge a bit and get a pair. Was going for the black leather model, but I'm a bit of a cheap scape and opted for the tan suede model on sale. I usually never oder heels, but I've had such good luck with fit that I opted to do so. Fit perfect although I don't have any mileage on them, but we will see.
Beyond that, I've been watching the thrift stores for Red Patent heels for a special event, and have only found a couple pairs of single sole. Guess and Jessica Simpson. Both brands have almost always fit well for me.
