Pleaser Caress-401r

The caress-401r from Pleaser Shoes is a totally clear shoe with rhinestones across the vamp and black soles. The strapless sandal is classified as a 4 inch mini-platform heel by the manufacturer.

This low heel has become popular with women who want the added height and look without taking away from there outfit. This style of clear shoe has also become popular in many pageants ranging from swimsuit to body building.

The shoe has a vamp that runs up to the arch of the foot to help stabilize you when walking, but one should take care not to let their foot slip to the side as there is no ankle strap.
The clear stiletto heel adds to the look of this shoe, but again care should be taken when walking in thin heeled shoes.

Customers have reported that the baby toe does get cramped when walking and the clear vamp is unforgiving during long times walking in these shoes.

We have not heard any reports from customers of this shoe running large or small. Going by the measurements, this shoe does appear to run true to size.

The price of this shoe ranges from site to site from $35.00 to around $54.00 "this does not include shipping". Be warned that some sites offer low prices to lure people in only to inflate the shipping price, making the overall price higher than some other stores.

Sizes: 5-13
Color: Clear only
Popular places to wear: Pageants, Pool, Weddings

The shoe measures
2 5/8 inch across the widest part of the shoe on a size 6.
The platform measures 1/2 inch.
The heel height measures 3 1/2 inches high.
The vamp's outside circumference measured 4 inch at the bottom and 7 1/2 inches across the top.
Overall length 9 1/4 inches.

Ellie's Lea-557

This is classified a 5" chunky platform shoe with ankle straps from the manufacturer.

The Lea-557 is a very stylish and sexy shoe. It is popular for both men and women due to it's wider width, larger vamp, sturdy heel and the availability to purchase it in a larger size. Although this sandal is not classified as a wide width by the manufacturer, we have found it will fit a wider foot nicely.

Reviewing this product, the shoe appears to be well made for the price. We experienced little heel movement when walking and very little foot slip. The ankle strap also adds comfort and support stopping your foot from sliding off to the side causing one to fall. The wide vamp is cut so it does not pinch the baby toe as commonly found in open toe shoes. The overall shape of the shoe, the roundness of the front and the larger sizes, makes it so it will accept a man's wider foot without the normal discomfort.

We have found that this item is true to size. A woman normally wearing a size 10 heel should order a size 10. A man should add two sizes to his normal shoe size. In case of half size, go to the next larger size (a male wearing a 10 1/2 should order a size 13).

The price of this shoe ranges from site to site from $26.00 to around $45.00 "this does not include shipping". Be warned that some sites offer low prices to lure people in only to inflate the shipping price, making the overall price higher than some other stores.
