heel height of declics - please help...

[mrsb74]

hello ladies, I just got some black suede declics thinking I was buying 120's, however i now have them and after measuring the heel it measures 130mm (from the top of the back of the heel to the tip) and they feel really high on - would this be a 120 or a 140? I do love them so will eventually master how to walk in them I am sure

 

[Nieners]

I believe they are 140s

 

[mrsb74]

I believe they are 140s

thanks Nieners, oh well practice makes perfect I hear......

any ideas as to what the actual heel height of the 120 is?

 

[Nieners]

I'd say 11 cm but I'm not sure! Are they like this:

Or lower?

 

[JetSetGo!]

Sounds like they are the 140s.

 

[mrsb74]

neiners I would say about the same - you look really comfortable in them - I feel like I am going to topple over - even my maggies dont feel as high but then i think they have a biger platform...I love the colour of your BTW

 

[mrsb74]

Sounds like they are the 140s.

thanks jet, i am so gutted cause i have been after some 120's at a good price forever, but I got these at a good price so i probably will keep them and just practice - if i can master these may be i can move onto the pigalle 120's

140's are the best! i have 3 pairs of the declic 140's soo sexy!! get used to walking in them, you'll love them!

 

[iloveredsoles]

Those look like 140's to me! The declic is sooo gorgeous in that heel height!
What size are they? They might differ in heel if you are a smaller size.

I agree, they are very pretty in that heel height! Does it have a platform at all?

 

[Nieners]

Thanks mrs, too bad they were too big for me so I sold them. And now they are lost in the mail :cry: Anyway, def. keep them they are gorg!

 

[babysweetums]

when did you sell them, how ong have they been lost in the mail? that sucks!

18th of January, they have been missing ever since. Holland says they are in England, and England claims they are in Holland :cry:

 

[mrsb74]

thank you all for your advise the consensus is that I MUST learn to walk in them....
baby- you are soo right - they are very sexy, just not the way I walk in them yet - hee hee, but i do plan to learn - any tips would be appreciated.

iloveredsoles-they are a size 37.5 - maybe that is why they have a 130 rather than a 140 (blessing!!)

ikaesmallz - yes they have a small hidden platform - only about 10mm though i think.

neiners so sad about your declics..that must be very frustrating
