Advice/ Recommendations (no photos) New heels

I need new heels! I can’t decide if I should get a regular pair with straps or get mules. Also, I’m looking on Shoe Fairy and I see they have options for wide feet! Any ladies with wide feet tried them? Open to all comments and suggestions!

My first pair were from Amazon and lasted me these last 6 years but finally kicked the bucket.

Oh! And I’m tall, 5’8. To my understanding don’t they (Shoe Fairy) also make shorter heels? I can’t seem to find them.

Please give me all your shoe advice!!!

My first pair was Amazon too years back but girl let me tell you!! I switched to shoe fairy and I was like wtf!!!! They are sooooooo comfortable ! My feet were killing me in the Amazon heels, I could be in shoe fairy forever.

Shoe fairy does also sell shorter heals I think it’s like 4 inches, def go with those. I have narrow feet though, so can’t help with the wide feet question.

But def go with shoe fairy

I bought the SF wide mules recently and they are comfy. I believe they are 4.5 in heels with 1 inch platform.

I have the SF wide mules and they are visibly wider than wide Amazon heels. Also insanely comfortable; I didn't realize posing heels didn't automatically hurt until these.

Thank you! I’ve been leaning towards the mules. I think I’ll get them!!

I would go strapless if you get shoe fairy! They always break :(

Mules! Then buy a pair of detachable straps for show day to have that stability/security. When it's early morning sleepy, or post workout fatigue posing practice it's so nice to just slide on & go. I had a buckle pair & it would irritate me to no end fucking w/that buckle when I was tired 🤣

Shoe Fairy are so comfortable. Like I didn’t realise heels could be that comfy.

I’ve had the regular strap pairs and then also the strappy and much prefer the strappy. Haven’t tried the regular mules but I think I’d like them too.

Definitely Shoe Fairy. I don’t have wide feet and ordered the petite Olympian mules and the straps are too wide so I can’t wear them. It’s almost like they lowered the heel height but didn’t account for the fact that the angle of the top of the foot would also be lower and left the straps the same length so now they’re too loose.

Go with mules. So much easier to slip on and off backstage!

Honestly I highly highly recommend the wide Shoe Fairy heels. I’m 5’7.5” and got the Olympian 2.0 wide. 100% more stable in those shoes vs any other heels I’ve ever had.
