More Shopping - Black Pumps

[Pilsy]

DSW let me down yesterday, so I'm turning to you! Please help me find black pumps for work. ETA: Size 9!

I love heels and have no trouble walking in them, but I tend to think 3" (maybe 4") is plenty for day-to-day work shoes. Is that about right?

And for these basics in my new wardrobe, I think I need a regular (matte) material. I have nothing against patent leather, but shouldn't those be a fun addition a little later, rather than what I plan to wear a few days a week? A little sheen is okay, but downright shiny just doesn't seem right for every day.

Feel free to advise me on actual heel style. I tend to favor thin heels, as I imagine them to be slimming for my heavier legs, and chunky heels just rub me the wrong way. But if I'm behind the times, school me.

DSW didn't have anything I liked, but their prices were roughly $45 - $55, and I guess I'm aiming to stay in that ballpark.

In addition to shoe suggestions, will one of you shopoholics please send me some mojo? I am more than willing to spend some money, if I can only find cute stuff that looks good on me!

I just bought a great pair at Marshall's. THey have chunkier heel and I think the are really nice, but I could be a MM Ugly Shoe girl and not know it.

Ahh, great idea. I meant to try Marshalls, but I got a late start yesterday. I will definitely go sometime today/tomorrow/Friday.

And I'm sure you're not an Ugly Shoe Club member!

I got the rec for these shoes on this board (I think from Peggy?) and I LOVE them:
www.payless.com/store/product/detail.jsp?catId=cat10088&subCatId=cat10270&skuId=093861130&productId=70962&lotId=093861&category=&catdisplayName=Womens

They are SO comfy because they have memory foam in the sole. And although they are from Payless, they don't look cheap. I just bought another pair in tan this weekend!

This review of them is priceless:

We both love them!October 7, 2012
Pros: size for me and my husband
I love these heels! they are like walking on a cloud! I love them so much, I went back and got the size 13 for my husband! Since he loves it when I wear heels, I make him wear them too! ;-) (just around the house)!

LOL!

That just might beat the ice cube recipe from two days ago.

Umm say what?! I would be DIS-TURBED!!!!!!

I have these and love them: www.6pm.com/cole-haan-air-talia-mid-pump-black-leather
They have 9 in wide or a 9.5. They mostly run small.

There are the same except for no rubber on the soles: www.6pm.com/product/8090891/color/3

Or these if you like textured: www.6pm.com/product/8090888/color/8038

Sorry, I didn't see before the range that you wanted to be in the $50 range. I would check out Nine West. I've also been happy with their other shoes.

Ooh, we might have a winner! Thanks, Casmgn!

I wonder if I can get those in the store.



Love the CK Dolly, too, Susie. Thanks!

Edited: Said I loved the Selene, but it's really the Dolly. I am a sucker for slightly pointy, I guess.

Check out Talbots.

That style should definitely be in the stores.
