These 3" heels are absolute showstoppers. I wore them one time, to a fashion show, and I haven't had the right occasion since - which makes me sad, because these shoes are meant to be enjoyed! Their bright embroidery (red, green, and blue) practically glows, and they're the kind of shoes that make strangers stop to tell you how fabulous they are. They have a slight platform and are very stable. There's a little bit of wear on their bright-red, hand-sewn soles (from walking on asphalt and concrete and dancing all night), but they're in perfect, wearable condition. Size 38 UK / 7.5 US, but could go up to an 8 (I had a bit of room at the back and would suggest adding silicone pads at the heel if you're a 7.5). Wear them out with a little swagger and a toss of your hair!
