every year i´m getting older

you are confusing 'older' with BETTER

We hold these truths to be self-evident:

REAL Corvettes have sharply-peaked fenders and hidden head-lights;

REAL railroads had a 4-track mainline and ran on-the-advertised;

and REAL women wear high heels and short skirts as often as they can!!!!!

Elite Heels, came from LW.

They look fine sizes UK3 to 7, larger sizes have the same ugly shape from Leatherworks as the heels height is the same as in small sizes.

Ok, thanks. They looked a lot like a pair from Ernest I recently bought.

Do you have trouble with the sole flexing when you walk? Several of the platforms I have seem to lack stiffness in the sole between the platform and the heel. Love the pink ones.

Here are the ones I was thinking about: http://www.ernest-ch...ernis-noir.html

No problem to get these.

I have the problems too, this is hard to explain in english, but the higher the heel/last the more it is difficult to get the sole/heel stiff. Some manufacturer told me it is not possible to get a stiff shoe, when the shoes is made the traditional way.

YOu do not have this problem with stripper platforms, because platform/sole/Heel is plastic and made out of one piece.. Then we have the problem that some manufacturers are just fixing the heel with nails and glue, the very good manufacturer are using a felxible metal joint from the heel to the sole.

I definately understand. I was curious if you had a supplier that took the time to do some proper structural engineering to provide a sufficient moment connection between the heel and sole. I've had thoughts of a welded shank incorporated into the sole, but since I don't know much about shoe construction, I'm not sure how the leather covering would work.

Still love to see all the beautiful shoes on your site. Just wish I had the funds to buy a pair if I could be sure of the sizing.

There is one of our guys, but when the heel reaches a certain height, it is not possible do make the construction stable. ( in the case they make it the traditional way ) On the other side i´m soooooooooo mad

at all manfiacturers, because they are often very lazy and they do not show a lot of good will.

Oh Gina, how I agree with you on that subject....most of them are so lazy.. I have a pair of thigh high boots with 7 inch heels from Ableman trading company that I bought in 1991 and they till look good and still in perfect shape...Now a days, you can't find a godd pair of extreme heels that won't break.

So true. I couldn't agree more with you.
