seeking world's most ostentatious heels for G9 [SOLVED]
I never thought I would be making this request, but I'm looking for the world's most ostentatious heels for G9.
Seriously, the most outrageously blingy things you can think of. Something you'd look at and immediately think of the working ladies on Hennepin Ave (or whatever your local equivalent is). They don't have to go with anything. In fact, it'd be better if they're the sort of thing that couldn't possibly ever go with anything.
Background: one of my mains, who has never in her life worn heels, winds up having to get a pair. She's going to a fancy party as the +1 to a guy-friend as crown-hunter deterrant, but he's like a foot and a half taller than she is, and she doesn't want to be dangling off his arm like an 8-year-old. Enter the heels. Except she's having an awful time at the shoe store finding anything... and comes across these. And at this point she's just so over the whole process that she tries them on as a joke, to the vast amusement of her BFF, who is pretty sure the hot place just froze over.
So yes. I could look through pages of G9 clothes until my eyes cross, and possibly miss the best pair ever because it's hidden in some outfit without a clear shot... or I can ask here.
TIA

It sounds like the platform needs to be appr. 1.5 feet high...
LOL Well she considered stilts, but it didn't work for the venue. So she's doing the best she can with what she's got.
Perhaps, something like this: https://www.daz3d.com/punkish-boots-collection-for-genesis-8-and-81-females?
Wow. Those are something!!
Was thinking less boot-like, which I probably should have specified.
I think that it will unfortunately be almost impossible to decide what, exactly, are the most ostentaious heels, as I think that is probably EXTREMELY subjective. However, I did a quick search, and found a couple that are very tall, and rather unusual looking, so would probably at least stand out in the average corner shoe store?

And the ones in this product:

Some of these have morphs to make them even taller. Also, I think a good shader will make a big difference on how these look. Something loud and bright will definitely draw more attention! Hope this helps! ^_^
Ah, these two are also very unusual, and I think would stand out in a crowd!

I don't have the higher heeled shoes, but Prefox has a couple of possibles choices in the very high heel shoes section (the Kiera or the Jessie shoes):

Maybe this one by Havanalibere ? They are other high heels option in HL store, but none as high I would say.

The heeless shoes quoted by Fae3D could also be a contender.
This one has a morph to get even higher (it seems to be something cWodrex does with their shoes so maybe other from this PA would do):

No adjusting height morph as far as I can see, but they are pretty high by default I think:

HM also has high heeled shoes, but they are usually part of a whole outfit:

A few "Blingy" options:

Oh my gosh, how do people walk in those platform things?!?! I'd fall flat on my face.
Thank you all so much for the suggestions! I've bookmarked several of them because I could see them being useful for other stuff... but I think the winner is definitely https://www.daz3d.com/frilled-heels-for-genesis-9 purely for the ruffles. The character in question would absolutely never wear anything ruffled, ever, so if I throw an outlandish shader at it and kitbash a couple blingy jewelry bits to them, I think they'd be the absolutely most improbable shoes possible for her.
Winner winner chicken dinner!
Hahahaha ~~
Just a joke 30" : https://www.screwfix.com/p/rst-elevator-adjustable-height-stilts-18-30-/783jf
or, an equal joke these spring things: https://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/488846/freebie-spring-thing and in use:

I am laughing so hard because I know people who 100% would have attempted the above picture. (I would've been on the sidelilnes taking pictures as proof it happened.)
And somehow, miraculously, they would've come out of it unscathed.
You've got to have a bit of silliness every now & again...

I have honestly no idea how one would walk in a lot of the shoes available in the store
I have one pair of platform shoes but they're wedges and like 5cm in front / 10 in back, so they're quite easy to walk in. Those mega high platforms with stilleto heels though? No thank you...
Okay, so not just me, then. The fanciest place I go is the grocery store, so I wasn't sure if it was some fashion trend for people who go clubbing or suchlike. And I've never been a "shoe girl" so I'm willing to admit complete ignorance.
I've never been a fashion girl at all, really. My eldest has been baffled at my lack of style since they were about three. I'll own it. They can look fabulous enough for both of us.
From my wife & two daughters, only my youngest daughter wears any form of heel (about 2"). The other two give a hard 'Nope'. However, I think height does enter it. My youngest is a mere 5'7", while her sister is 6'2" and mum is 5'11". Given that I'm 6'1", my youngest feels like she's a squirt and often has to stand on something to reach a shelf the rest of us can reach with ease.

Richard
Heh... your youngest is still more than half a foot taller than I am.
