Mr. X

I was surfing around on the web about all things shoes and stumbled upon this site. I came upon it because of another site "stylebistro". Which is a good site by the way, and I will discuss it further in another thread soon if it hasn't been mentioned already here. Actually I found a few other sites having similar sales. My question is are these the real deal in terms of shoes. Because if they are, I would seriously consider plunking down the money. Less than $200 for some pairs of Christian Loubotins almost seems too good to be true. But if it is true, that seems very reasonable for CL's Your thoughts? Here is the site www dot redsolestore dot net

My last boot purchase from Aldo for this season.

The store should receive them tomorrow or Friday.

Can't wait to wear them

Nice ones Daniel. I actually prefer a thinner heel on my shoes and boots usually. But in terms of streetheeling, you should have no problem with those. Those are definitely a more masculine looking boot. They are definitely "rocker" inspired. What with the chunkier heel and the buckles. Again good choice.

Never been much of a platform fan. I like the first pair though Awtucs.

Nice ones Mr. X, are those from Aldo? I had a pair just like them.

No they are not from Aldo Dave. The shoes are 725 originals, which I believe is a Walmart brand. It's funny. I never thought something so good could come out of Walmart....lol

Picked up a pair of these today. I got them at a thrift shop. They only cost me $12. They are very comfortable, and fit, and look great on my feet. The height of the heel is 4 inches.

Good to have you back and posting again. As others have said I like the last 2 outfits personally.

Nice heels Mickey. I have a white pair very similar to those.

I LOVE THESE!! Could only find a 9 1/2 but they fit perfect!!!

BTW These ar A-YOKO by STEVE MADDEN

Those look great. I like them alot.

Saw the movie on my satellite dish. Never really noticed the heels though. Guess I will have to back and watch it again.

Nice shoes RonC!

These new beauties arrived today from Germany.

They my first non black, brown totally different colour shoes ever.

Got them on Ebay.

Actually fit very nice.

Very high though won't be wearing them outside and I don't

want to stain them.

ps they're not my legs and feet

Those shoes are very nice. I especially like the colour.

Another three converts:

The 2nd 2 were purely done as a joke, and they looked as such. The first one was different however. Even though it was done as a joke, the guy seemed to be enjoying himself a little too much. And he actually looked quite good in those red heels. It almost seemed like he had worn heels before. Plus the rest of his style in the video was quite androgynous as well.

It's wind chill 25 below zero here in our city right now.

How about 25 below zero without the windchill? That is a normal winter day for us.

URGH! Don't say "cool" around me! It's been downright frigid temperature wise over the last few weeks!

Welcome to what we Canadians experience every winter....lol

Hi All

These have arrive today and am currently sat at my desk wearing them.

A good job I am on my own!

Very nice shoes. Could you tell us more about them.( where from, cost etc)

That was interesting. Not to mention the women were hot...lol Why do I always get the feeling that Europeans are more open minded than us when it comes fashion freedoms for men.

Here is a link to my latest purchase from Aldo. They are a great basic unisex ankle boot. They are extremely comfortable to wear. And with a not so high, and a wider 3 1/2" heel, They are very easy to walk in.

Okay, I've got one.

I'm sure most of you have seen the Lady Gaga "Alejandro" video, with the guys in heels. Well, same situation with this Ke$ha performance, most interestingly the fact that the two male back-up dancers are the only ones wearing "true" high heels.

interesting indeed. Good find.

my christmas present to myself has finally arrived, my Christian Louboutin 'Pigalle 120' pumps was unsure if to spent soo much money on a pair of shoes, but they are amazing!! they gonna take a bit of getting used to as they'be a 5 1/4 inch heel and im only used to 5 inch platforms!

hoping to one day wear them out and about yey

You are the envy of many my friend. I would guess those are a top 5 shoe on just about anyone's list. Enjoy!

Here are some that I've bought recently. The round toe are from JCP, Canyon Blue. Leather, 4" heel, lots of padding inside, good walking. The ones with the buckle, are Sketchers from Victoria's Secret, as are the leggings. Victoria's still has them on sale. They have about 3/4" platform side zip, comfortable 4" heel. The pointed toe ones are Laure from Ellie, 5" heel, stretch material and again comfortable.

Not a huge fan of the first pair. But the other two are great!

As I said earlier. I did buy them and I am enjoying them. Where they were made rarely enters my thought process when buying a pair of shoes. For me it usually comes down to looks 1st and then price a close 2nd.

Not really a fan of the boots. The shoes are awesome though! Ultra sexy!

Nice Boots!

Not bad at all. Too bad the rest of the outfit doesn't really go with the boots.

Today I purchased the following shoes I discussed in the following thread.

http://www.hhplace.org/guys/18292-opinions_please.html

Well I broke down and purchased them. I'm so glad I did, and that they still had my size left. Pictures do not do this shoe justice. I also won a little money tonight which was a bonus. It helped reduce the cost to around half price. And in many of the reviews I have read on these shoes, people say they are very comfortable, despite the 4 inch heel. And they are right. These are some of the most comfortable shoes I own, heels or otherwise. Everyone must own a Guess "Carrie" pump.

Hi all,

My new Nine West boots arrived a couple of days ago and they are fantastic! They are called Bizzybee with a half inch platform and a 3.5 inch stacked heel (although the heel does appear higher than the reported 3.5 inches which was a bonus!) They are also a really tall boot stretching up to the base of the knee cap and I'm 6ft so they are pretty tall.

Nine west have select boots on sale atm (up to 50% off) so I am tempted to buy another pair as they do nearly all their boots up to size 12.

I've attached some pics to share with everyone. Hope you like them.

Those look great! Enjoy!
