9 inch slides


9inchheel

Recommended Posts


This looks just like Karos design K-0257 except that shoe had an ankle strap and this one doesn't. Every time I've seen it it was going for around $225 or so. To my knowledge this is the highest-heel available in the US without getting into custom work. I'd always wondered if any of our forumers had ever bought a pair and how they worked out. Thanks for the photos. HappyinHeels:wavey:

your absolutly right. i cut the staps off for some dumb reason and yes it was a lot of money for these. i needed to feel what a nine inch heel felt like to wear and didnt want to pay custom fit prices. maybe i should have.

yep! they aint to pretty but the feel of the lift is good. maybe i should wrap them in leather. what would you designers do to them?

Throw them away then go and have another look at Christian Louboutin's website...

Interesting - - I think I would have left the straps on though. For me, 7" or 8" heel with the existing platform would be a bit more suitable, but it's definitely interesting. OK - - not at the price mentioned though.

Not my cup of tea. For one, I never liked slides/mules, regardless of the heel height because I see them as dreadfully impractical. Two, how on earth would anyone manage to even stand in those things, much less walk without falling?

For anyone interested, I think this is the manufacturer link: http://www.orientvisual.com/6inchforever/shoepage.php?querytype=id&searchstring=K0257

Guessing the platform is a little less than 3", though you'd think on a pair of shoes like this, it's a piece of information you'd want to know.

I'd be curious to see a video of someone walking in them, maybe they wouldn't seem as bad. I'd also like to see what the shoe looks like in a size 5 (smallest) and size 14 (largest). That's about as big a difference as you can get on the the same shoe. It would be interestin to see how well they scale the shoe for those extremely-different sizes.
