It's more of a "they're a little larger than the heel itself is" so unless they're meant to be trimmed down the seller either included the wrong heels or I'm greatly underestimating MA.

Well. Larger how?

The extra heels are about an inch larger than the heels currently on it.

For the sake of getting a complete answer and for archival purposes, why not include a picture or two?

I've been trying but imgur has been weird and not actually uploading the picture. Hopefully it settles itself within an hour and it actually lets me upload this.

Larger is always better......more useful

Considering a pair of derbies for casual work, im confused between ccp, barney nakhle and guidi OX02C. Which one do you guys think will suit me best?

[subject07]

yesterday I was wearing my RO Sock Sneakers underneath some pants and i think they may have slid down and been a bit crumpled or sat oddly underneath or something without me realising, because today when i put them on they seemed a little bit baggy and stretched as opposed to their usual semi-slimness. Any ideas to somehow return them to their normal fit?

The pair of guidis is the safest for the average work environment. Depends on how strict your dress code really is/if you want to stand out. If you're good to go i'd get ccp derbies instead. The heavy amount of creasing and the distressed leather on some models, paired with the aggressive last, just makes it for me. If you would wear them with normal work slacks i'd pass though and get the guidi instead because the ccp will stand out in a very bad way.

This maybe: "I wear the same silver bracelets every day. I sleep, swim, and shower in them. Hun, my better half [Owens's wife, Michèle Lamy], bought them in a marketplace in Dubai. I don't really like accessories unless they're slightly ridiculous."

Thanks for all your help.
My work environment is not so strict so I think even the ccp would be acceptable. Just looking for something that can suit well with dress pants and shirt. I've tried to google fit pics of dress pants + the guidi/barny nakhle derbies but havent found one.
Also forgot to mention about the comfort, I dont want to get my foot in pain 8 hours a day. Have wear the tornado to work one day but damn, I cant even suffer for more than one hour. Dont know if the same will happen to the (ccp) derbies.
