About 5 years ago, I bought a pair of black sling-back shoes for some friends' wedding (in Barratts on Graften St. if anyone cares). Over the years, they became honoured and treasured, being rehealed and repolished many times. If they could talk, they could tell manys a tale, as they say. I often bought other black shoes, but for some reason I always went back to wearing the old reliables. Not only could I walk in them, they gave me a decent lift and of course, were sexy as hell. The time has come to admit they have past there day and for a while now I've been trying to replace them. This, I've decided is simply impossible. My requirements are as follows:
Black, leather shoe
Covered pointy toe (must cover entire toes, no “in between” parts peaking out)
4"-4.5" heal
Durable heal (meaning made of either metal or black wood, just not leather basically)
Sling back or full pump (see? I’m not fussy)
I can find combinations of all of the above, but finding one shoe that fits all requirements is proving impossible. Why is this so difficult?
