shoes store - LA/OC area?

[bastet]

That's what we got, both simple black leather with suede sole, closed toe 2.5" heel for the missus, laces and normal 1" heel for me. They had a nice mens pair with leather top at the front half and black suede at the back half, but I thought all leather would be easier to clean than suede.

I did look at Tara shoes, they are nice. We were a bit unsure about fitting with ordering over the internet, so did not go that route this time.

bastet: Thanks for the note about the width, my wife has small heel but medium width, some shoes are too narrow for her.

Thanks

the Celos model I have has a slighly wider fit in the toes, but still no arch support (my feet have pretty high arches) for me. I also have trouble wearing closed toe shoe due to foot problems (see previous rant) and open toes let my chubby toes spread out and don't squish my big toe...so your wife will just need to see what turns out more comfortable over time, peep, closed or open toes...you got something that works for the mean time- that's the main point for you now.
