Well, trolling on the internet can lead to problems. In my boredom I began looking for the ideal pair of navy pumps to replace these:
The dread J Crew Mona Patent Pumps, navy
Yes, they are beautiful. Yes, they are perfect in just about every way. Yes, I tried to work with them.
Side note: I found a tip when working with patent leather shoes that hurt. Rub lotion on the inside, heat with hair dryer and wear till you can not take it any more, repeat often. Believe it or not it did help...just not quite enough.
So, look what I found...
Rupert Sanderson Nada, 80mm heel here
Aren't they beautiful? Yes, I know the are not navy. Yes I know they have pointy toes. Yes, I know they are an arm and a leg but the price does include all duties and taxes. Geez. Cut me a little slack.
But, they would look great with all my dresses.

I told ya...I've been bored lately.
Sigh.
How tall is 80mm? Bit over 3 inches. Sigh.
What about these...
Ann Taylor Eryn Exotic Embossed Leather Pumps, Ivy League Green here
Only 2 1/2 inches
Or...

Ivanka Trump Natalie, Teal Suede here
Not really color I'm going for.
Or...

Stuart Weitzman Ziptip Pump, Green Suede here
They just look stumpy.
Nothing quite compares to the first pair. I'm in love.
Help!
