Schuh "Gatsby" patent heels in red and black

I got a pair of shoes very similar to these about 16 years ago, when I was 14, and I still lie around daydreaming about them sometimes. They were the best shoes! They were so cute and fun to wear! They looked so great with everything! They were plain leather, not patent, but my friend Brooke had them in patent and I was also very jealous of that.

Looking at the ones up above, I actually can't decide which ones I like better. The red reminds me of a pair of red patent Mary Janes that I wore basically every day I was allowed to at age 6-8, but of course those had a smaller heel. And also heart-shaped cutouts around the vamp. But then again, I already own the amazing pair of red wood-heeled shoes in my icon, and this pair couldn't really improve on them. I don't have any black heels because a) I hate heels and b) I tend to buy the brightest color available.
