I love these! I could not wait to get these! Had the outfit planned and everything (a 40s look!)! Imagine my disappointment when I removed my gorgeous shoes from the box, these are not 3 1/2", these are more like 4 1/2" (I even measured the heel height). It is too high for me. I wish I were a shoe
designer. I would make gorgeous shoes like these, but offer an option of another heel height. Wouldn't this be the most wonderful thing? How may times have I seen a pair of shoes to die for and had to walk away because they are too high? Designers, please wake up! So, because I love them so much, I don't have the heart to return them, I want someone else to appreciate them the way I do. It will be my 25 year old niece's Christmas gift! I will be able to admire them on her feet.
