I have been waiting on pins & needles for these shoes. It has been an obsession to get my first pair. I wasn't sure about the size, but the 38.5 fits well. After reading comments about the nude leather on tPF, I was convinced that this color would probably be too difficult to keep, but they were already on their way. Then when the shoes arrived I was at the heel height! I told the SA that I didn't want higher than 4". These are almost 5", making me almost 6'. lol. The box says that the shoes are 100mm. I thought that meant 4". Anyway, I have 3 more pair coming tomorrow. I am on a quest to get the right ones. If tomorrow is also a miss, I will be traveling (over 2 hours) to a boutique next week. I am posting pics in case some of you are interested in this shoe. It is gorgeous! And it looks similar to a pink ballet shoe. It has just a hint of pink. I have decided that I probably won't be able to do a platform, cause most of those are 5-5.5". The 3 on order are Decolette in black patent (was told they were 4"), Yoyo in nude patent (4"), & blk/red Architek. I knew those are almost 5", but the shoe is so gorgeous that I had to see it in person. They were ordered before I know the Declics were going to be so high. Anyway, I hope you like the pics. I have certainly enjoyed looking at everyone's. Could someone please tell a novice CL fanatic the approximate height of 70mm, 85mm, 100mm, etc.? That would help me alot. thanks
