BobHH 3 Report post Posted August 12, 2009 I have bought some Karo 925 wedges. which are very comfortable and, importantly for me, come in large sizes up to USW 14. I take a 13. They are advertised as a 4.5 in. heel - in my size they are 5.5 inches at the back with a 1 inch platform, so have a 4.5 in. rise. I like the height which is hard to find in a wedge without much platform. They are generously sized with a wide sole, so fit well and are very stable. Fairly expensive, I paid around $135. They will get lots of use. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FastFreddy2 282 Report post Posted August 16, 2009 Just noticed these ..... They are shoes I'd LOVE to own and wear. I have a thing for see-through uppers, and I really like wedges. A jealousy rating on a scale of 1 to 10, would be a 12! ;-) ... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BobHH 3 Report post Posted August 20, 2009 I wore the Karo wedges to the nail salon today for a pedicure. Hardly anyone there when I got there at 8:30AM, so no one saw them except my salon girl. She said "Let me see your shoes." I was wearing long jeans. She thought they were very high and said just looking at them made her legs hurt. She is a tall blonde who I traveled with last year before she got married, and never wears any sort of heels, saying she can't because her legs hurt. She won't try to get used to them. I got Chanel "Matador" polish, a dark metallic red. I wear 2 in. wedge thongs afterward because you can use them with toe separators. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FastFreddy2 282 Report post Posted August 21, 2009 If ever you find yourself wearing your Karo wedges with jeans, and happen to have a camera with you, it would be great to see what the ensemble looked like together. Not sure how a self portrait would be possible, or if you would be inclined to oblige :roll: but I'd greatly appreciate a picture. I've tried on see through shoes before, but my slim feet usually slip through them. :roll: Don't know why I've such a 'thing' for see-through uppers, as my curly toes wouldn't lend themselves to being painted.... But like 'em, I do! :oops: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
docs41 1 Report post Posted November 1, 2009 Bob, Did you get your shoes from Shoes USA? I've bought a couple of pairs from them and they are fantastic, but expensive. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
