I love love LOVE these shoes
but
I am 5ft 11"
Am I too tall to wear a heel this high?
I was hoping for chic rather than trollop?

I don't really like the shoes (sorry), but I'm 5'10" and would wear a heel of that height.

Wouldn't have even considered it when I was younger, but have more confidence these days!

Wow those are lovely....if they weren't out of my price range i'd have a pair too!!! I don't think you are too tall, wedge is more deceiving than a heel

Thanks hoohoo! I think you're right about the wedge too.
A hell of a lot easier to walk in too.

Fishponds - you?

Was that a Middle Eastern restaurant then or just Mediterannean (sp!)?

Heyy! Small world!

cylonbabe · 17/05/2007 21:47

i clicked onthe link thingking i was going to see some real, sand ma type shoes. with spiky heels and lots of chain.
and i saw something quite boring. i would wear those on the school run. whilst running round doing errands etc. gorgeous, but definitly not scandalous. go for them.
