Rupert Sanderson platform slingback 125mm in grey lizard

These are hot.  Love the height and the shape of the heels.  I feel special when I have them on.  Unfortunately they are not very comfortable as they don't stay on very well.  Perhaps platforms and slingback don't mix. True to size.

Christian Louboutin Almeria 125mm wedge espadrilles in brown leather

I was not 100% sure about these when I saw them as they are wedges.  I bought them anyway as they were on this crazy sale.  I am glad I bought them as I wear them all the times now, even when I go on holiday as they are so comfortable.  They look a lot better on as they have the usual Loboutin delicate and tapered footbeds.  The colour is very versatile too.  Maybe I have changed my mind about wedges!  True to size.

Zara platform sandals 125mm in blue fabric

I'm crazy about blue this season.  When I saw these in Zara I had to have them, despite all my unlucky incidents with Zara shoes.  Love the playful color and zip design.  I am trying to convince my self that these shouldn't hurt because of the thick and seemingly supportive straps.  Will try them out when I am ready for heels again.  At 125mm I probably won't be running around with them on.   True to size.

Note:  I finally got to wear them and I hated myself for once again wasting money on Zara shoes! I had them on to walk to the front entrance of my building, got driven to the mall door-to-door pretty much, and took a number of escalators to go to the restaurant.  My point is there was minimal walking, and the walking was done on smooth marble surfaces all the way pretty much.  Yet I wanted to chop my feet off by the time I walked back to the car to go home.  My feet kept sliding forward as these shoes offer no support whatsoever.  It's not the height but rather the shape and the man-made sole I suspect, as my other 125mm shoes would never do that.  I had to give these shoes away right away as I couldn't stand to try them on again and go through the agony. 

Louboutin No Prive sling backs 125mm in black fishnet and cork

I had my doubts with these because I'm not really a fishnet person.  I'm glad I got them as they go with everything and the fishnet is actually quite interesting to look at.  The only thing I can pick on is the fact that the peep-toe trimming seems a bit rough and they hurt my toes after a long wear.   Buy half size up.

Louboutin No Prive sling backs 125mm in brown suede and cork

I don't think I can get tired of No Prive. I love the way the shape my feet.  And it's just amazing how 125mm can actually be wearable.  I had them on up and down the subway then stood all night for drinks one evening and my feet were fine.  They are the ultimate party shoes!   Buy half size up.

Louboutin No Prive sling backs 125mm in glitter and gold leather

These shoes are my absolute favourite.   They are the ultimate!  There isn't much more you can ask for with a pair like this.   I think we all want to feel extremely glamorous every now and again.  Buy one size up.

Prada platform sandals 125mm in beige leather

I was looking for a pair of nude sandals to go with shorts and these seem to fit the bill perfectly.  The thick straps add to the causal look but they have the height to make it dressy at the same time.  The only problem is that the front strap on one shoe tends to rub on my toes to a point which it breaks skin!  A real bummer.  True to size.
