That perfect black shoe: Dieppa Restrepo Dina Oxford

Shoes. Dieppa Restrepo has made a name for itself with their oxfords and this is one line which I look forward to see where it goes in the next few seasons--they've ventured into high heels, and I'm hoping they'd go for the mid-heels someday. Flat shoes are comfy, but it is nice to have a bit of added height, I won't say 3inches, but 1.5 would be nice, and if they can do that with this black oxford, I'd be thrilled.

Long time ago I read that some women buy denim in two and make one for flats, the other for heels. Very practical and pricey way, ideally one denim should work for both, but that's quite elusive. I do enjoy heels occasionally, I do like strutting in heeled boots, but yeah, they do hurt after awhile.

Have you settled with your heel height conundrum? I still find myself a tad bit schizophernic.

I have 2 pair of Dieppa Restrepo Calis-- one black, one grey-- and I wear them with everything. I would love it if they would make some shoes with 1.5 inch heels.

My one pair of boots for the year was from Vialis, a pair of black lace-up ankle boots with-- a 1.5 inch heel. They are pretty much perfect.

Anything over a 2 inch heel just sits in my closet, so I have learned to stay away. As you say, flats are great, but it's good to have something with a little lift, too.

ah I've been curious about the Vialis shoes (but if Pedshoes carry them I figured they must be great!)!

yeah above 2inches, I steer away and mostly wear flat shoes nowadays. but, a bit of extra height does do magic.
