Hi Bees
So I am looking for shoes and really like Allure bridal shoe star below. They say the shoe is 3 1/2 inch heel with a 1 1/2 platform. I do not know why i am confused but hoping you guys can help clarify – does this really mean the height is 3 1/2 or is the total height 5 inches? I usually wear 4-5 inch heels but wanted my wedding shoe to be more like 3 or 3 1/2…This shoe got really great reviews but all the ladies said that its comfy but it was really high…

i THINK (keyword, have no idea lol), that it’s a 3.5 inch high shoe, and that 1.5 inches of that includes a platform at the ball of your foot… just how i’m reading it though! lol

@kristen182: I agree. I think the total height is 3.5 inches, and the platform is 1.5 inches, so it will only feel like 2 inches, once you factor in the platform

3.5 inch heel with 1.5 inch platform feels like 2″ heel- total height 3.5 inches

I agree with PPs, but that’s the tallest 3 1/2″ I’ve ever seen! They’re quite lovely though.

@Meant2bMrsC: Looking at these on the Allure website, it appears that they might be at least 4 1/2″ heels with a 1″ platform, and even that’s being conservative. Possible even a 5 1/2″ heel with a 2″ platform… Either way, you’re going to net a 3 1/2″ heel. Gorgeous shoes for those graceful enough to wear them…
