(And never stopped wearing them.)<BR/><BR/>I personally think a mid-heeled pointy toe pump is sexier than a 4" heel.

Terrible shame about not ordering different widths tho', perhaps you should take up that shopping offer.Mardelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04850551308931710502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7424698162327097126.post-44644079967494132872008-07-05T01:57:00.000+01:002008-07-05T01:57:00.000+01:00Oh great....so we go from unwearable super high platforms to unwearable super pointy toes.<BR/><BR/>I'm glad that I still have my pointy stillettos from the last time they were hot...so I can sell them on ebay....Belle de Villehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14045827018848979761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7424698162327097126.post-5829566945946976652008-07-05T01:47:00.000+01:002008-07-05T01:47:00.000+01:00Do not do pointy toed pumps; we call those 'toad stickers' around here and with a foot shaped more like a shoe box than a foot, it's tough enough finding shoes that fit my size six double wides than not. Something I found out this week when I ordered two separate pairs of gold pumps to try out to pick one for my daughter's wedding: Size six wide in Naturalizer is not the same size as size six wide in Lifestride. Could not even get my foot into the Lifestride; the Naturalizer fit like a charm. Guess I found my wedding shoes.Toby Wollinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7424698162327097126.post-89065121945178583792008-07-04T20:35:00.000+01:002008-07-04T20:35:00.000+01:00Your link is on the blink.

So few places sell shoes by width and when they do, they're always gruesome so I am left with the regular widths. <BR/><BR/>It's a rare pair of pointy ones that doesn't pinch and even then, I'm bound to scuff the ends. I had a beautiful pair of chocolate and green Cole Haan pointy-toed shoes that didn't pinch that much and then annoyingly, I dented the pointy toe of one of them on an over-high kerb one day. As this can't be repaired, I never felt quite the same way about them after that.mq, cbnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7424698162327097126.post-29522419209419365652008-07-04T16:22:00.000+01:002008-07-04T16:22:00.000+01:00Like Pseu, while I'm not keen on overly-high heels, I'm happy to see the pointy toe getting an extra shot -- I find it much more flattering than a round toe, and, as Pseu suggests, its iconic overtones lend a hint of the bad girl or the sexy one, at least, which I find otherwise pretty tough to muster convincingly at my age!<BR/>And I think you should take Pseu up on her shoe-shopping offer. The two of you could have some great posts of that trip -- and since you're already across the ocean and the continent, you two could come up to Vancouver and I'll show you round our shoe shops as well;-)materfamiliashttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16062766947897513369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7424698162327097126.post-21704281849805967232008-07-04T14:58:00.000+01:002008-07-04T14:58:00.000+01:00I'm sorry to hear that. You're just going to have to come to LA then! I'll take you shoe shopping. The Ferragamo pumps I bought at their boutique come in two heel heights, 5cm and 7cm. And the Stewie store is just up the street.Deja Pseuhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16005855250089328310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7424698162327097126.post-26003595458962764192008-07-04T14:43:00.000+01:002008-07-04T14:43:00.000+01:00I tried some Ferragamos the day I boight my D&Gs. The heels were too high. And Weitzman doesn't ship any of his wearable shoes to Britain, except the classic flats, as I know when I accosted the SW rep at the Selfridge's trunk show last year. Incidentally, she was wearing the same pair of shoes I own - three years old. They were only smart SW's she could stand all day in because the heel was not too high.<BR/><BR/>Weitzman does do different widths but our buyers don't order them, she told me.Linda Granthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09126115924247248057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7424698162327097126.post-67453900728548853022008-07-04T14:38:00.000+01:002008-07-04T14:38:00.000+01:00Psst Linda, Ferragamo makes some lovely classic pointy toed pumps in wide sizes. So does Stuart Weitzman. I actually think a pointy toe is more flattering as well as iconic and sexy.Deja Pseuhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16005855250089328310noreply@blogger.com
