STYLETHREAD -- LET'S TALK SHOP!

i've been obsessing over these wedges for the last month:

i tried them on at the CL store in beverly hills and loved them, but ended up purchasing the pump (similar style but w/a stiletto heel) b/c i thought they were more timeless.  i do love the pumps, but they're not as practical for everyday wear, and i'm relegating them to dinner/special occasions.  however, i really need a pair of casual pumps that i can wear with jeans or jean skirts (and that i can actually walk in for more than 10 minutes!), and so now i'm thinking about purchasing the wedges.  i know that steve madden is coming out w/a knock-off version, but i'm just not crazy about knock-offs. 

CL also has a patent leather version, for which the wedge area is black:

some other wedges i'm also considering:

i'm also open to other suggestions.  TIA!
