Yet another shoe question!

I'm looking for a simple black leather pump with a 2 inch chunky heel, or a 2.75 inch skinny heel. Help!

I have a couple black pumps that I buy over and over again because they are absolutely perfect for me. But now... they're both out of stock/obsolete and I can't find anything similar!

Heres the first one - Aerosoles Red Hot Pump which is just crazy comfortable and has a heel so chunky I could run in it. So we're looking at a black leather pump, rounded toe, about a 2 inch chunky but tapered heel.

The other one - Clarks Arista Abe pump is also super comfortable but has a dressier, higher heel for when I need the height. This one is also a black leather pump with rounded toe, but with a skinny 2.75 inch heal.

So heres what I need:
1. black
2. leather
3. available in size 8.5
4. rounded toe
5. height is either chunky tapered at 2 inches, or skinny at 2.75 inches. (so, no kitten heels)
6. would be great if it was under $100

There's got to be something! I've looked at so many choices!

Sofft heels are really comfortable.

I got rid of all my work heels except my Clarks Ambyr Joy Platform pumps. They're 3 1/2" but with a 3/4" platform, so they feel like 2 3/4".

Response by poster: Unfortunately Sofft doesnt have any choices that match either of the heel shapes, and the Clarks linked above are not leather. I really need all the requirements listed (except for #6... I could budge on that one if the shoes are otherwise perfect...)

How about these Walking Clouds from Zappo's ?

Cole Haan's Go-To Wedge might work - it's on sale now and hits your price point. If you see anything you like there, but think it's out of your price range, they have good sales and mark things down quite a bit.

They don’t fit your very exacting specifications entirely, but I think something from Trotters might work for you. They carry them at Nordstrom and have a pretty solid reputation - my mom has some older trotters pumps that she’s worn occasionally for decades, I think. Babette for the higher heel, Candela for the lower heel? Or maybe something else speaks to you.
