Gold heels?

pollyjean23 · Marc Jacobs

I had a tough time too.

Are you wanting metallic?

Here are some. Not loving any.

Elle · Hermes

$51

$70

$85

Try doing a search for "Comme Il Faut." They're tango shoes handmade in Argentina, and I have a pair of the most gorgeous gold heels from them. You can wear them as street shoes. They have the most elegant heels, so well-balanced, and the shoes are just gorgeous.

I was going to suggest dancing shoes as well. If you do a search for ballroom dance shoes, you'll come up with a ton of options - but they'll be on the pricier end. My ballroom shoes were $130, but you may very well be able to find some around or just ender $100. I love ballroom shoes so much - they're comfortable and sturdy, quite obviously, but most of all I really love some of the styles (some can get quite garish, but many are gorgeous enough to be street shoes). If I was someone who was willing to pay $100 for a pair of street shoes, every single one of my heels would be ballroom shoes.

Thanks girls.

Gingembre and Ttara thanks for the suggestion,I will have to check that out.

erin · Chanel

there are some pretty ballroom shoes on ebay for cheap (like around 25)

halleybird · Hermes

(bronze, but super cheap)

also, these are open-toe, but they don't really show much of your toes, if that makes sense.

I just wanted to add - If you want to try ballroom shoes, make sure they're NOT suede sole. You can find some that have the stiff leather outsole, like tango shoes do, and these can be worn on the street.

I love the 2nd pair. T-strap ones. Where are those from ?

BargainQueen · Marc Jacobs

I love this pump from JS. I have it in the Mary Jane version in black and they're surprisingly comfy.

I stumbled accross this one; it may or may not be your style, but I thought Id post it anyway.

Dillards - BCBGirls "Damiane" - $51. The woven thing and stacked heel makes these a bit more casual than you might want.

Thanks everyone. I have decided to pass on replacing them right now, I decided it would be better to put the money toward boots for the fall.
