  @SD Thanks SD.  Those models are no longer available.  I'm super fortunate to have grabbed these when I was able because I can't find them any more of their website, at all.  They are made by an Italian designer of footwear called Casadei.  The model of this particular shoe is the ELOISA.
  
  If that particular style, height and shape of stiletto is of interest to you, go to the Casadei website and search under "BLADE".  There's a whole line of Casadei Blade heels available in all sorts of colours and styles.  They keep changing their line to keep that iconic "blade" stiletto fresh and current.

  Interesting Carrie, I think you are probably pretty accurate that we have similar tastes in pantyhose.  What I was really surprised about though was your picture with the ankle strap heels.  Oh my gosh, I have recently been looking at a pair of heels with a similar design, just a thinner ankle strap.  I really like the look and how the strap wraps around the ankle.  Your photo wearing the ankle strap heels definitely surprised me!  I think you and I also have similar interest in heels as well, maybe we are distant cousins.  Your stiletto collection does look amazing.  Because I'm an infrequent wearer, I don't need nearly the amount that you have but it is my favorite style of women's shoes.  Unfortunately, I am at the upper end of the size range for women's shoes so it can sometimes be a little challenging finding a pair or color I like.

  And yes, I see no reason for wearing an ankle bracelet with the ankle stilettos.  That would obviously look silly.  And once again,  just like you, I think the simplicity of a single ankle bracelet does look the best.

  @SheerMark That "strap" around those black patent Casadei heels is actually refered to as a "cuff" because of its wide nature.  I have one other pair of pumps (black suede) that have a similar width cuff that fastens around the ankle.  Those, too, are very sexy shoes due to their full d'Orsay style of both sides being cut away.  Skinny 4 inch suede wrapped stiletto completes the look with a pointy toe box and a regular heel cup.  I only have the 1 pair of classic black pointy toe pumps with a skinny ankle strap, but all my strappie sandals have a necessary ankle strap.  I have 2 or 3 styles that have a strap that goes across the top of the foot.  Those are a Mary Jane style of shoe...lower stiletto heels of about 3 inches.
  FWIW, I'm typically an 8.5 US in a pointy stiletto or an 8 in flats or running shoes.  In Euro sizing, that makes me a 38.5 but if the shoe is made in Italy (as a lot of designer brand heels are) I need to upsize to a 39.  Most women do the same when buying European heels.  The equivalency in UK is size 6.
