I finally got a pair of booties that fit.  Nothing special, but they fit.

Women’s Fran Bootie by New York and Company

• • Upper: 100% Faux Suede, Outsole: 70% Rubber, 30% Textile, Lining: 100% Faux Suede
  • Shaft height: 5", Shaft circumference: 10"
  • Heel height: 4"

Inexpensive, but they fit. Wore them all day at work.

They look great, rugged heels that work in most any terrain/occasion

Worn them twice, once for 14 hours straight, even got a 'damn, you're rocking some nice booties. But they are just plain janes with faux suede uppers.

It’s not that they can’t be worn with jeans which tend to be used in more casual situations rather the actual height speaks more to clubs and parties than shopping or errands.

As to advertised heel heights measurements are usually taken of a size 8 or 9 shoe. If you order a size 12 as I did then you could normally expect the actual heel to measure about 3/4”/2cm higher than that size 8 or 9 shoe. I learned this from an independent shoe retailer and reading various industry publications. So, yes, a full 2.1” higher was surprising.

 I’ve worn up to 6” heels with jeans for day trips, errands, and while traveling but an 8” heel is something different. Yet the photos just don’t make that heel look that high but believe me it is.

If you search YDN shoes on Walmart’s site and choose the highest heel category then you’ll readily find them. Their sizing helper is good too. When asked for a comparative brand and size I chose Jessica Simpson wedges in size 11 and it recommended a size 12 in YDN heels. The size 12 I got is a perfect fit. They do not bind anywhere and are stable to walk in. Ordered them on 15 Jan and they arrived 4 February. 
I noticed many Walmart offerings in sizes above 12 so some here may find their useful. HinH
