The Perils of Online Shoe Shopping

I have been keeping an eye out for silver shoes for a wedding I’m in. 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.
