As much as it pains me to say goodbye to these once-beloved shoes... it pains me more to wear them. I am wondering if one of the high-heel wearing YLF members would care to give these animal print shoes a home?

Details:
Nine West, size 8.5, pony hair upper, white-on-black giraffe print
Black patent 3.5" stiletto heel, peep toes
Purchased nearly 4 years ago
Gently used - a couple *small* nicks on the heel shaft. The pattern at the back of the heel of one of the shoes is kind of distressed but it actually came that way and was part of the way that the animal hair lays on the shoe.
The footbed is not overly steep given the height of the shoes, but it is quite hard.

I actually used to find these decently comfortable shoes when my feet were less delicate, when I weighed less, and when I was accustomed to wearing high shoes. (These were about the top of my limit but I could actually could go out dancing in them.)
So if you are comfortable wearing shoes in this height range already, I would say that they are worth trying.

Now, I top out at 3" heels, and I'm happier if they are in the 2-2.5" range.)
(Also, peep toes don't really work well for my feet due to the shape of my toes.)
Photo #1 is me in my work Halloween costume. Our department dressed up as different profiles of PNW stereotypes from a local commercial series. My coworkers asked me to go as a confused East coast transplant, apparently because I bat for Team Dressy, so I'm exaggerating the dressiness and the pattern-mixing here. Unfortunately, I really strained my lower back walking around in these higher-than-my-norm shoes, so I'm officially bidding them farewell.
