What are they called and where can I find them?

My girlfriend and I love this type of high heel. I love them because the foot is open on both sides.

What are these high heels called and what online retailer has a selection of this type of shoe to choose from?

Here's the shoe: http://www.shoes.com/productimages/shoes_isec1227805.jpg

Apparently, shoes.com has very few (I only found those).

Thanks.

Great to have you join us here. We've got just about every answer to all thing heels at this place. So, if you need answers, advice or just want to tell us about yourself and your interest in high heels, we're eager to listen.

I believe that style of pump is called a "d'Orsay" style

Definition: A d'Orsay style pump is a woman's shoe in which the vamp of the shoe is cut away very close to the toe box, and the sides are cut away, revealing the arch of the foot.

There are several different orientations of this style. One of the ore popular styles has 6" heels with ankle straps. Really a very sexy shoe. (I've a pair of them myself.) You can find out more about them here:

And, you can buy the same pair that I have at: d'Orsay Pumps

Sizes on sale up to size 14......and yes, they are difficult to get used to wearing.

Some other examples are: These are Pleaser brand shoes. The T-Strap is a Domina-415 The ankle Strap is a Domina-402 Available on Amazon.com.

Thanks for the posts.

She actually prefers that shoe without the ankle strap since she tends to take off her shoes when wearing nylons (which is very often).

Where would I be able to find them without the ankle strap? It would be that shoe in a casual/comfortable style, without the ankle strap, and just a regular heel (3 inches max)... a shoe that can be used for work.
