omg. ill admit i wear heals constantly normally in the 3-4 inch range. this is for 3 reasons (one my partner is 5'10 and wears heals herself alot so i dont look like midget girl) (2: im too lazy to hem up slacks and jeans so heals get worn alot so i dont walk on them) 3: well they make my butt look nice. but something like that omg i would never even try and if i were to see them in a store id prob start laughing histericlly. (this coming from the girl who has a pair of 4 inch healed bowling shoes)
Check out Comme Il Faut. My girlfriend has a pair and absolutely loves them.
They're elegant, unique, handmade tango inspired shoes (and very danceable). Ultra nifty designs and fairly comfortable given that they're meant to be danced in for hours at a time, but also sturdy enough to walk around a city. I believe the heel is placed a bit different from a standard shoe, so that it's easier to walk backwards in (for tango).
Pretty much every woman I've met who does tango tries to pick up at least one pair.

Yeah, and although not cheap, they're a lot less expensive than a fancy American handmade shoe would be.
My girlfriend has a pair that are textured purple fabric with black lace trim.

I got sent to Minneapolis for work. Landed, and got lunch at the airport. It's a conspiracy.

Oh no! Someone call Michael Moore! We need a poorly made, borderline fraudulent, panic ridden 'documentary' right away!

If I were a mazda lover.. I would have to go there and steal that tray. It would be great in the garage for small part storage while working on the car

Out of curiosity and boredom, I clicked on these $420 "things" I'd like to see the designer walk in these. And, then there's the distance from the heel to the toe. Ah, are these "bed only" too? Why do I have the feeling someone's laughing all the way to the bank?

In reply to triumph5:
walking in those wouldnt be bad at all. but ugly.
ill admit i have shoes that are painful difficult to walk in. i classify them in hours. all my day to day shoes i can handle an entire day so 12 hours in. 8 hour shoes are good for family get togethers, nights out. 4 hour shoes good for girls nights out. 2 hours are solely for when you going out with an ex to catch up and need to make sure you look better than her.

In reply to mad_machine:
Sure, why not. I'd rather hit neither side in an escapist thread like this (Wankel-widgets and shoe styles?), but I probably should've let Rufledt's comment go without getting ruffled...

btw meant that comment as a joke (extension of the 'conspiracy' joke mentioned earlier). I though it was so clearly rediculous that nobody would take it seriously.

I apologize. It was late, I was tired and grumpy. None of which were your fault.
