Vionic Slides with Wedge - where have they gone?!

I have several pairs of shoes with this heel style.  I wear them pretty much every day to work and there is nothing that compares for me.  It seems that Vionic has stopped making them.  I sent a message about it via Facebook, but if anyone from Vionic reads these posts I'd really like to know why they would discontinue such a popular style.

Thanks, @lolakimono .  I had not seen these.  It's the right heel style. I'll take a closer look.  Thank you.

Thanks for the link. I ordered a pair of the Kara in black, for work. I actually wanted something dressier for an event I have coming up, but if the Karas fit like the other Vionics I've had in the past, I'll get plenty of use out of them.

@house_cat There's a large amount of Vionic on Zappos.

 

I like this one in 3 colors:

 

PAIR It would be 2 1/2 in with the platform.  Quite nice!Smiley Happy

Thank you, but I don't want platforms.  I got a response to my inquiry from Vionic today - they said the style I like has been "retired".  Unfortunately, I'm not, and I'm on my feet all day.

@house_cat   Have you tried the website 6PM?  They have lots of name brands, including Vionics, at great prices.  They carry a lot of styles that brands have discontinued.   Because of this, sizes are scattered across colors, but I always take a chance when looking for any shoe.

 

It's usually where I purchase my Spenco, Clarks, and other brands.

@Caaareful Shopper 

 

Thanks for the suggestion. Their prices are good, but seleciton in this case is very limited.  I'm concerned that Vionic has gotten so fashion conscious that they've lost sight of their original mission.
