  • HEY! ShoeLady! I just bought three pair of the Silk by Bella Vita, three different colors. The DesignerShoes.com website says Silk has a heel height of 2.25 inches. I measured it at 4 inches! What’s going on here?!? Vanessa, Tennessee Dear Vanessa, Vanessa - I understand you are concerned that the heel height on the “Silk” espadrille by Bella Vita is different than what is shown on the website? The website says 2.25 inches. I took my ruler to the warehouse and measured the shoe. It is 2.25 inches. Heel height is measured by holding the ruler in the center...<div class="addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style addthis_" addthis:url='http://asktheshoelady.com/2012/05/how-to-measure-heel-height/' addthis:title='How to Measure Heel Height' ><a class="addthis_button_preferred_1"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_2"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_3"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_4"></a><a class="addthis_button_compact"></a></div>

  • Dear Shoe Lady, Why do shoe manufactures of wide width women’s shoes only make shoes 2 – 2.5 inches (rarely 3 inch) in heel height? Do you know of a technical reason? I have a wider foot but LOVE the taller heel. Dear Tamica - First I must acknowledge that I, myself, do not approve of high heels…. unless you do not plan to walk in them. Wearing 3 inch heels puts SEVEN times more pressure on the balls of your feet than when you are wearing flats. That said, we still approve of giving customers a range of choices...<div class="addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style addthis_" addthis:url='http://asktheshoelady.com/2012/02/why-is-there-a-lack-of-stylish-high-heels-for-wider-womens-feet/' addthis:title='Why is there a Lack of Stylish High Heels for Wider Women’s Feet ?' ><a class="addthis_button_preferred_1"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_2"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_3"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_4"></a><a class="addthis_button_compact"></a></div>

  • Dear Shoe Lady, I measured my foot to be 21cm long and 8cm wide. By your guide this makes me a UK size 2-2.5 My problem is that whenever I buy this size shoe the length and width often fit perfectly but the shape of the shoe never fits my foot! I will try to describe the problem as best I can! It feels like I need to push my foot further back into the shoe in order to get the contact I need for it to feel comfortable at the arch. This is especially the case with heels, even...<div class="addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style addthis_" addthis:url='http://asktheshoelady.com/2012/01/do-i-have-high-arches/' addthis:title='Do I Have High Arches?' ><a class="addthis_button_preferred_1"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_2"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_3"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_4"></a><a class="addthis_button_compact"></a></div>

  • Dear Shoe Lady, I have some foot and back issues that require orthotics. But I have such a difficult time finding decent looking trendy and elegant shoes – particularly sandals that take them. As a result, I’m a mess by the end of the summer since style is very important to me. Do you carry any shoes where the insides can be removed to be replaced by custom orthotics?
