They are certainly eyecatching, but I'm passing.

If it were 35 years ago - yes. Now- just one: #50. I bought two pairs similar to that just the other day!

I like the peacock shoes (#8), but I am more likely to wear something like this-

Check out Amazon (different colors and styles).

The shoes are beautiful, whether I can wear those heels for hours at a time (these days) is debatable.

Pretty shoes. Reminds me of the late 70's early 80's. I just can't find them appealing anymore as I've worn such things in my youth and there's no novelty. Everything comes back in time - platforms, this is their third time around in my life and I was not at all interested.

#3 looks almost identical to a pair I wore in the 80s, except for the heel height, of course. Mine were a silk blend upper ... just gorgeous shoes. Finally donated them a few years ago.

I like these!

None of the ones in your OP appeal to me at all. Most are too high heeled and most of the flats are, well, too flat!

But, I am going to be looking for a pair of comfortable, work/dress appropriate, closed-toe shoes, about 2-2.5 inches soon. Also a pair of summer wedges - maybe to go with a new spring/Easter outfit. Maybe colorful sneakers.

My feet have shrunk & my original plan was to try to get by with just one pair in my smaller size until my feet stop shrinking. That did not last long! lol... My good slacks are all too long for the athleisure shoes I bought & I can't force myself to wear my ankle boots anymore because the only way they fit is with very thick socks. I've got two pairs of Birkenstocks, one pair a little big but the straps are placed well so they stay on, the other pair is smaller in size & fit my feet better. They sat unworn in my closet for years.
