Well that’s about to change. Summer officially starts tomorrow and I’ll be kicking of my Summer of Shoes!

Here's the real photo. Gold shoes! Or goldish.

just a few pairs of my shoes

What’s that you ask? Well I plan to go the whole summer without ever wearing the same pair of shoes to work twice. I go into the office 4 days a week so that means about 60 different pairs of shoes. I’m quite sure I have at least that many.

I’ll be posting photos as proof. Hopefully this will also help me cull out the really uncomfortable shoes, too!

I really don’t want the typical strappy sandals you usually see. I also don’t want 4″ heels. I can walk in them but they aren’t something I want to wear for 8hrs. I’d really like a nice 3″ heel.

knowhowSo I came across the Kenneth Cole Reaction Know How. They come in silver, cost $70, and look cute. They generally have good reviews that say they are comfortable. So the question is how high is the heel?

Well here is a break down of heel heights…
AZshoe.com – 2″
Shoes.com – 3.25″
Piperlime.com – 3″
Zappos.com – 4″
Shoemall.com – 2″
Lord & Taylor – 3.5″

One review for a site that listed them as over 3″ said that they were lower than that. Then on another site where itw as listed as 3″ someone said they were definitely 4″. The only thing I can figure is that perhaps there are 2 models with different heel heights but that doesn’t explain 6 sites showing 6 different heel heights.

Consistency would be nice. I guess ultimately I need to either order them from somewhere that offers free returns or find them in a B&M store.
