The Real Housewives Love Sky-High Heels Nearly as Much as They Love Drama and White Wine

Is it possible that Bravo’s ever-expanding cast of Real Housewives are just as competitive about heel height as they are about every other aspect of their extremely affluent, made-for-TV lifestyles? Yes, yes it is, and we have ample photographic evidence to back that up. The good news is that you CAN have it all, and juggle it all while wearing a six-inch heel and downing a few glasses of Moscato. It can be done, but it does require a fair amount of finesse. I’m not sure where one goes to purchase finesse in quantity, but I assume all of the Housewives have access to that information.

Bethenny Frankel doesn’t even think twice about balancing her daughter on one hip while wearing five-inch Prada heels on the cobblestone streets of NYC. She’s got this.

Here’s Kelly Bensimon, navigating around the Upper East Side of Manhattan in a bright yellow pair of Manolos. These pumps may look modest beside Bethenny’s Pradas, but that heel still clocks in at four inches tall.

Lisa Rinna wore these towering Louboutin sandals to the Veronica Mars movie premiere in LA back in 2014. It may please you to know that Louboutin also makes a flat version of their cage sandals, or it might be completely irrelevant to your interests altogether.

Sonja Morgan attended Bravo’s RHNYC Season 8 premiere party in a truly imposing pair of metallic leather, 5-and-a-half-inch Saint Laurents. Platform sandals are obviously the way to go when tempting fate with a heel more than five inches high.

Tamra Judge
Valentino Rockstud Pumps

Finally, here’s Real Housewives of Orange County‘s Tamra Judge, leaving the NBC Universal Upfronts in NYC in a pair of pale grey Valentino Rockstud Pumps. This may surprise you, but Valentino Rockstud Pumps do actually boast a four inch heel, even though they somehow manage to look only slightly taller than a kitten heel. It’s Valentino magic.
