I absolutely LOVE these shoes, but can't find them - they are pictured with a Self Portrait dress on the Selfridges website. I've called Selfridges and they can't help me. Can't get through to the Self Portrait department - have been trying since yesterday morning.

I hope when they are found, they are comfortable and easy to walk in ;)

Thank you for any help!

They look like Alaïa to me, these are a similar looking design from them in the current collection.

and sorry, no, Alaïa shoes are deeply uncomfortable

Ooh, thank you. I can't find them in the Alaïa current season, and Selfridges don't seem to stock Alaïa (online) so maybe these are something else? But, they do have some very nice shoes.

Are any high heels comfortable?

They're definitely Alaïa, found them in black here:

As to comfortable heels, ehm, depends how attached you are to all your toes... There are a few 'comfy' high heel brands (usually specialist shoe brands from Italy) but a lot depends on your own feet as well.

Thank you! Internet sleuth :)
They are absolutely beautiful.

I definitely am attached to all of my toes. My biggest concern is losing my balance and tripping/stumbling and hurting my knees (which have been operated on).

Thank you for helping!

It wouldn't work with these shoes, but taping together your 3rd and 4th (counted from the big toe) toe does help a bit with balance and pain. Doesn't mean you can run a marathon in heels or anything like that but it's better than nothing.

I've never heard of that! Am going to try it this weekend. Thank you. Have you tried Sargossa shoes? Or insoles like Vivian Lou / Alice Bow?

No, I have high arches so heels are more comfortable than flats to me, I do tend to stick to under 100mm though. I have contemplated the Alice Bows as my feet have shrunk and I now need insoles for them to fit but I think last time I looked they had quite a lengthy waitlist/order fulfillment time.

I've tried them and they seem to work in some shoes, initially, and not in others. Maybe the height is where I'm going wrong, I love the 100mm heels! Thanks for your help :)
