Don’t get me wrong, I’m 6’4″ tall and very proud of my height. I’ve always been tall, so I don’t know anything different. Its only on rare occasion that I get any negative reaction to my height (actually only one time that I can remember) and it was more so embarrassing . I’ll make sure to share that story at another time. But back to this post. I am in desperate need of new shoes. While aspiring for style and actually having to put some thought into my daily outfits, I’ve been hit with the realization that I need more stylish shoes. When I look in my closet, I see tons of flats and flip-flop style sandals (remember I live in Hawaii). I’m not saying that I don’t love my flats. I really do adore my ballet flats and loafers they are classics and very chic, but I need some more variety in my wannabe “stylish” life. Yes I already know there is nothing stylish about flip-flops unless I’m headed to the beach or pool but they do work for certain bohemian style looks as well.
So I’ve been on a quest to find some “hot” shoes and I’ve found myself frustrated. I get disappointed because I’ll find a pair of shoes that I absolutely adore and are at my price point, but when I click on the size it stops at ten or 11 and I’m like pushing the slider trying to force it, thinking magically the number “12″ will appear. It doesn’t and then I am crushed and off to search again. So I start searching again and lo and behold I come across a pair of shoes that make me drool and wait….. yes they do go up to a size twelve! So I start to do my little happy dance in my seat, until I start to read the details and more info on the shoes. Lo and behold I see that the heel height is a whopping 4″ or 5″. Now as I said before I love my height. I love being tall. I even love being really tall, but I need to be able to walk under a door sill without having to duck…lol Now come on shoe people I know the same shoe can be just as stylish with a 2″ or even 2 1/2″ heel, which by the way is the maximum height I personally am comfortable with wearing….lol So back on the shoe hunt I go. I’m not giving up and I know that the perfect shoes that fit all of my criteria are out there, somewhere, but I would be lying if I didn’t admit this is a time I wish I was a little bit shorter, for shoes. About 4″ shorter, gotta stay a six footer and the perfect 4″ shoes I found would make me the perfect height of 6’4″….hehe
I’ve included some pics and details of the tormenters below.

Steve Madden 'Partyy-R' Pump 5" Heel only go up to a size 10 (They have pretty rhinestone embellishment on the heel!)

Via Spiga 'Sheri' Bootie 4" Heel and only goes up to a size 10 Who doesn't want a "cute bootie"?
hehehe

Ivanka Trump 'Gurdia' Pump Goes up to a size 12
but has a 4" heel Love the sexy corporate look of these shoes!
FYI : Nordstrom’s has a shoe clearance sale going on right now, which is where the looks pictured above are from. Happy shoe hunting!
Thank you for reading!

I am looking for shoes as well. I just bought an LBD (little black dress) and I am searching for red pumps to go with them. I am having difficulty finding the perfect red shoe. Thanks for the Nordstrom tip.
You’re welcome Francine! Yay for the Little Black Dress! If I come across some on my search I will be sure to let you know. Good Luck!
I love he first pair of Steve maddens to posted and I don’t have them only because they stop at 10! I’m like. 10.5 so I always end up in an 11. Now I know I have bOught some cute white sandals from bakers… Size 12 (all they had left by geese they were only 15 bucks and look exactly like Gucci sandals I bought!) always check clearance and sales. You’ll probably have better luck finding sandals in a 12 than dressy heels. My mom is a 12 and swears by DSW shoe store. Not sure if one is on the island. I say to for the 5 inch-ers. If you have o duck, own it do it gracefully and thE confidence alone will leave people without anything to say!
Love u diva. Happy searching
<3
