What does everyone think of these shoes?

I'm usually not crazy about anything with a platform, but I think these are really cute. I think the mules (2nd link) would look good with jeans.

They're awfully pricy, but it's rare for me to find something like this that comes in my size. And they look very well-made. Seems they build them to order here in the U.S.

Oh, and now I just saw these:

Not so much of a platform. Maybe with brown suede and the bottom color in "natural"?

Gorgeous. I already have four pairs of their shoes, they go out under the name "Kiss and Tell".

Hi Dr Shoe does that mean that you know of somewhere UK based where they can be bought?? (the first link particularly). Apart from your garage workshop of course!!

I agree about the first link. I would buy the camel colored pair.

Being mentally comfortable in your own mind is the key to wearing heels in public.

I own only one pair of platts but then Im not a big fan of them. I'm pleased you like 'em but there's nothing here to tempt me into buying another pair. jim

Adorn:-) I'm not a plat fan myself, but if you don't mind them being a bit pricy and want to try them with jeans, you have my blessing. Enjoy! Good Heavens!!! Did I see a posting by Terayon??? It is so good to see that you are still around. Don't be a stranger and post with us a while. Welcome back. Cheers--- Dawn HH

I WANT ONE OF THE SECOND PAIR! OMG! I remember seeing those back in the 80's have wanted a pair like that ever since! Woo-hoo! Someone DOES truly bless those of us with bigger sized pop-tooties! *does happy dance* :drinking:

have a close eye on exactly how these are going to turn out. they offer three heel height options, check whether the highest of the these comes at the expense of thicker platforms before committing. they should be fun to wear though. somewhere in a box of my vintage collection, I must have a heeled closed clog in tan like this from the 80s; they're a size small, a uk7, and have definitely never gone out. guess I should sell them.

Really like the second pair. Interesting option of heel heights. I remember fancying these when they were around in the eighties - never did get my feet into any! B

The first ones are very nice. A little pricey, but seem to be nice. They don't go up to my size, though.

Indeed -- in the Clearance section they have a pair made on the same base with the 4 1/2 inch heels, so you can get an idea what those would look like:

Looks like the platform might be just a tad thinner. I'm guessing the ones in the original pic are the 5 1/2. I wouldn't be surprised if the 6"-ers had an even thicker platform.

Love the clogs in the second link. Remember styles like that from the 80's. Saw some locally, but they only went to a size 10 :wink: and I need an 11 or 12.

C_heels:-) Welcome to the Forum. Keep looking around and some day you will find the clogs that you are looking for in your size. Cheers--- Dawn HH

I love your first two choices, they are really hot. I've checked the shoes usa website many times and would love to order a pair but I agree they are VERY pricey. No doubt the quality is good but their return policy is pretty steep. Make sure they fit!!!

If the shoe fits-buy it!!!!!!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE the sandals. Not much of a clog person. Good choices though

I hope that my wife asks me if i'm giong to wear those 4 inch leg wrap sandals that i bought from NIKE. Just a wish for the men in the world like us.

Sandalcrazy27:-) A very nice shoe. A round-toed, ankle-strapped, Dorsay style pump in a tapestry print. You can't go wrong with that. JeffB:-) Hey! How about this one in a size 13 for the office? You could match this pair with about any outfit going. Cheers--- Dawn HH
