And their reviews are up there as well. Not sure if this even helps at all. Thanks, but the problem with many of these is in smaller sizes you get the proper heel to shoe length ratio you see in the photos. In larger sizes the heels are oftern low relative to shoe length throwing the proportions way off and don't look at all like the photos. But thanks for the answer.

chesterx Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 Posting 3 of my newest pairs, as I'm bored & have no reason to wear them out yet. 1st pair are some black strappy rhinestone sandals from OnlyMaker. Just a tad bit oversize but they are wearable & feel nice to walk in (no idea where I'm going to wear them, but I had to have them). 2nd pair I ordered from ItalianHeels.com. The leather is so soft, like butter. I love how dainty they look on my feet. Bit tall to walk in, but I will make it work. I am looking for my 2nd pair from them, just a tad bit shorter of a heel this time. Last pair (picture was blurry, thats not the way the heels look!) are some slight platform black pumps with a quilted pattern from BCBGeneration. Bought them from a lady on Poshmark. Was buying a nice looking pantsuit from her when I saw these in her other items for sale column. Bought them as well. I think they make for a striking look when paired with a pantsuit. Wore them out a couple of times & they feel great, gonna make them part of my regular rotation. Cant wait for things to open up completely so I can get some longer jaunts in... 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evidently, you need to get with Krenzer and tell him about your Onlymaker shoes. I will be interested as well. I am also interested in your experience with Italianheels. Is it worth the money, and can I just order a 38 1/2 blindly? I am 8 1/2 U.S. Women's in sandals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluejay Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 chesterx, Nice looking heels . You'll find a place to wear them out. The pants suit with the pumps sounds like a winner to me, Also I like your pedi very much. French white tips on red, Great color combo.

Jkrenzer Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 Just arrived 3 pr of Shoe Republic LA. Just shy of 5 inch heels. 10 dollars eac on ebay. They are a touch tight but shoukd break in fine. These are a well made middle quality heel and i like them. The soles are rubbery but do wear into a harder white colored surface. I like that as the soles last longer. I really miss the super hard soles of the 80's shoes. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like that as the soles last longer. I really miss the super hard soles of the 80's shoes. Jesus, Joe! What happened to your foot? And speaking of Joe, I have to report that my latest purchase is not a pair of 5 inch pumps, but rather (gasp), another pair of mules. I have basically quit buying shoes, for a number of reasons, but these were cheap enough and cool enough to catch my eye on ebay. They are Joie "Raja" mules, and I paid approximately $50 for them, once you include shipping. They are my usual formula of 5 inch heel, 1 inch platform (sorry Joe, old habits die hard). They are all leather, including the sole, and they're rather buttery soft. Only thing is, in a perfect world I would have gotten them in a size 9 instead of 8 1/2. I'm pretty sure once they break in, they'll be all right, but they are bordering on being too small. Buying online, it's the risk one takes. I have learnt over the years, don't buy size 9 sandals, they're always too big. Except when they aren't. Super thin heel on these. I kind of like it, but I kind of don't. One of these days, I'll have to make up my mind about what I'm really going to actually wear versus what I think is pretty cool. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jkrenzer Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 Love the thinner heel. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cali Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 (edited) @mlroseplant I like those mules, they are "retro". And I like the same formula. I got these Steven Madden Luxe last fall, suede upper. Size 8.5 are 5 1/2" heel and 3/4" platform (size 8.5) - in my size 10 that 5 5/8” heel. these are among my steepest heels, smaller steps.

Pierre1961 Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 I am not the best fan of clogs and mules in general.But these may help me change my mind. So comfy! And so easy to slip in after the shower in the morning. I still prefer shoes that cover the feet. But nevertheless quite happy to have gotten these. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jkrenzer Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 Picked these 2 pair from ShoeDazzle. They changed the membership rules which allow you to opt out every month if done by the 5th of that month. Opted out of August and will continue to do so until a style I really want comes up. These cost $12 each for 1st time purchase. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. X Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 Here are my latest beauties! They are Justfab and the model is Tilla. The heel measures 5 inches. And the best part is they are practically brand new and I found them in a thrift store for 15 bucks! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NrthEastHeel Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 Just picked up a pair of these yesterday. Schuh "Lois". I've been wanting a pair of these for some time but were quite pricy on eBay as they are discontinued (I think). Luckily there was a pair going locally second hand (new condition), and in the nude color I wanted. They feel very high on for a 5" heel but have nice cushioned inners and feel very comfy on. A real bargain at 8£ too :) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
