They really are beautiful. They are Nina, ivory satin with a beautiful of center bow at the toe. I love them. However, they are 3-inch spike heels, and I know there is no way I can handle that, literally, all day.
I walked around the house in them one day, and decided they were 30 minute shoes for me. I wear heels to work once in a while, but I don't wear spike heels. Most of mine are 2-inch heels, and anything taller than that is a wedge heel.
Plan B. And by Plan B, I mean a complete 360 from the Nina's.
I started shopping again. After work one day I headed for Nordstrom, because I figured they would have the best selection. They had a great selection, but nothing appealed to me at all...until I saw a cute pair of crocheted Toms.
I tried on a pair of black ones, and a pair of gray ones, but decided on a different color. And I'm so glad I was there at that moment because I got the last pair of size 7s in purple.
Once I went for the fitting appointment I was so relieved that I had decided on the Toms. Standing there for more than two hours was difficult in Toms, but would have been impossible in those heels.
I do still love the Nina's. I put them on eBay and they didn't sell, so I've decided to keep them. I'm sure I'll wear them someday for some event that isn't an all-day affair.
