Last high-heeled laced shoes I can recall were those Mukluks. These shoes appear to be pretty classy. If I were a lady, I probably wouldn't go with these. I'd likely wear some strappy sandals or dressy pumps. I don't hate this style, but I probably wouldn't wear these on personal preference if I were a lady. The more common high-heeled lace-ups are usually knee-high boots with high heels and those eyes for lacing up. I do have a liking for those high-heeled wedges. I guess you could say that I kind of like chunky shoes much like I like seeing ladies in flares and bells.
