Just got a pair of the lower heel YSL Tribute Sandals at a consignment shop. The heels are a bit wobbly. They bend somewhat at the base of the sole where the platform attaches. They may have a defect and that's why they were sent off by previous owner. Are anyone else's Tributes like this? I wonder if a cobbler can reinforce them?

I own many Trib sandals and they don't wobble. However, I bought a pair of McQueen booties with wobbly heels and the damn heel broke off the first time I wore them. They actually broke off as I was bearing my feet down in the car before I swung my legs out to exit not even while walking. The oddest thing as I'd never broken a heel on a shoe before. I was BEYOND irritated as these were a $1200 pair of shoes.


Anyway, I took the shoes to the cobbler and he showed me that the heel was actually 1/4 inch shorter than the front of the shoe (common in McQueen shoes I later learned). When he took the heel off he found they used really short nails to attach the heel. So, I had him change to longer nails to secure the heel on BOTH shoes. Not sure if it helped as I never wore the shoes again but it wasn't expensive to fix.


Good luck!

Hey guys! So I got an amazing deal on my first pair!!! At my work, my size happened to be super marked down to $349, and I got my discount on top of that! To make it even better, I won a $200 gift card so I barely paid a thing for these! They are the lower heel and a deep burgundy in person, super hard to capture in photographs! Love them!

Hi there,

I have question that is driving me bonkers!! I have two pairs of tributes one yellow that is 75 mm (shorter) and one cobalt blue which is much higher.. I bought both these pairs in store.

I recently ordered a pair off ebay, and was hoping they would be as high as the blue pair, which are insanely high.. however just realised it says 105 mm.. however in the pictures they look very high..

Now I am super confused, are there three heel heights for tributes?! I thought either there was a small heel or a high one??

I checked the box of my cobalt blue which I purchased from Harvey Nicks in UAE, however it doesn't state the heel size...

So do tribs come in 75mm, 105mm AND 140 mm??

Please let me know girlies, super confused and hope I didn't just spend a chunk of money on the wrong size :(

There are two heel heights, 75&105. The measurements do not include the platform iirc.
