Stuart Weitzman Women's Nudist 110mm Heel Sandals - Luxury High Heel Dress Sandals for Weddings, Parties & Evening Events

Firstly, if you're searching for trendy single and ankle strap heeled sandals, do not settle for low quality. Low quality ankle strap sandals will not only be painful to walk in, but they'll also be DIFFICULT to walk (in terms of balance) - chances are they will not fit correctly and walking in a straight line or up/down-hill will be similar to walking a tight rope. If you can afford it, spring for a higher quality (and most likely, more expensive) shoe. You'll receive FAR more compliments and walking will be easier and relatively less painful.Now, about the "Nudist"....PRO: This is a status shoe. Those who know, will know that you shelled out bucks for these beauties - some people care about having a status image, others don't. For those who do, passers-by that are in the know will recognize this as a status shoe!PRO: They look good... period. You will get stares and/or compliments.PRO: It's well-constructed, therefore, easier to balance, considering the height of the shoe (the heel clears 4").CON: When land your heel, the skin around the back-top of your ankle will rub against the surface of the top of the heel (which is scale-like in texture - this shoe has a snakeskin texture). This is particularly because the back of heel curves inward, into your ankle. This part of the shoe will rub your skin raw and make walking a little harder. However, you can lessen the pain buy cutting a sliver of a "back-the-heel cushion" and sticking it against on the inside of the heel-top.CON: The high pitch of the shoe DOES not make walking long distance easier. You may be able to endure 15 mintues of walking on a flat surface before you wished you could either reach your destination or just sit down. The very front balls of your feet will suffer. If you wear these, be strategic about where you park.
