What: Size 7.5 black platform pumps, 3.25 inch heel, .25 inch platform
From: Enzo Angiolini (Nine West Outlet)
Purchased: '01-'03
Cost: $35
Oh, these shoes drive me crazy. First, I bought them with another pair of shoes in a buy one get one half off deal. I think the deal was with these from yesterday. (though it might have been the shoes from the day before). Or maybe my memory is entirely faulty and I got them at another time entirely. But what I do remember is they did not have the correct size in store (8s were way too big, 7s too tight), and so I ordered them and had them shipped to me. I LOVED these shoes in the store. LOVED them. But I don't know what the hell is wrong with them, but there is something seriously wrong with the heel. I know I have complained bitterly about my lack of black pumps, but these are essentially unwearable. The heel somehow does not fit right, and so when I wear them, my heel slips out. step step slip, step step step slip, step step step step slip. Not good, not good at all. Somehow they just don't quite cup my heel correctly. So in desperation, I bought heel slips, grey plastic-y things you can sort of see in the side picture (they blend in too well in the head on pic). But it's no use. It's the weirdest thing but they just do not fit.
I pulled these out to wear a couple of months ago and just looked at them and wondered why I had loved them so much. They're actually not all that great. Maybe 7 or 8 years ago they were at the high end of style, but anymore I'm not certain there's anything that special about them. And though I wish it were not so, I'm not sure they'll ever fit. This pains me, but I think I have to get rid of them.
Bottom line: discard
