  1. Im have ordered a couple pair of Onlymaker. Nice shoes. Bad deal is they don't fit me! I have Nine West, Guess, Pleaser, Luichiny, Sam Edelman and a few others that fit me just fine, but the Onlymakers just don't work for me. I can't really explain why, but it seems that the sole of the shoe doesn't match up with my foot at all. I know many people here have them, just not me! And I really wanted them to fit as they make some cute shoes and boots. 

    Also they are sold on Amazon.

    Since I hadn't measured my height very carefully for years, I was faced with the reality that I had gotten older--I had shrunk 1/4" compared to my younger days--which meant that I had to round down to 5'5", instead of rounding up to 5'6". My exact height was then 5' 5 1/4", 

    I missed this the other day. You are almost as tall as me..........When I am bare foot and you are in heels! :-)

    I might have to check those out myself. I normally wear size 4 to 6, depending on brand and style, but my problem is inseam length. Even size 4 petite tends to have an inseam that is too long for me. I can have regular pants shortened, I'm not sure whether it would be possible or practical with leggings. I can but try. What's the worst that can happen?

    Size 4 or 6? Inseam too long? Hard to tell from your pics, but apparently you are vertically challenged!

    Pretty clear what he got is not what is shown on the picture to the left.

     

    I guess I missed that.

    I agree about the pictures. Pretty sure the pics are just a high quality artist's rendition. I ordered a pair of simple black platform pumps. They looks like the pics in the add. Nice looking heels, just didn't fit. I am not sure how anyone could wear them!

    Expectation over reality! Always best to try before you buy!!

    Onlymaker Mary Janes UK size 10 EU 43 - sent straight back!

    What didn't you like about them?

    I ordered a pair of Onlymakers and they just didn't fit my feet, and I can wear just about any brand. At least Amazon carries them so returns were easy.

    Rather like those. Not really my thing, but I can appreciate them.

    I call them my "stealth" high heels. I am not like many of you that will wear stilettos in public, this I will wear anywhere and probably not even get noticed.

    I did wear a similar pairs of booties out with a bunch of guys and a couple guys noticed the nearly 3" heels and got wrapped up about it. I was sitting on a barstool a few feet away and noticed guys pointing to my feet and talking to each other. Finally one guy got the balls to actually say something, nothing bad just a comment that they had noticed my boots. I pulled up my pants leg, stuck my foot out and asked if he wanted a pair? There was some laughter and another guy asked where I bought them because he had not seen anything like them in the local stores. I just told him on the internet, you won't find them locally, and that was the end of it. I am certain they thought it was weird, they were older, very conservative guys. I have a pair of Nine West Disheveled boots I have am sure would make them go crazy!

  7. Nothing interesting in my closet. I do have a cabinet with my tiny shoe collection. Nothing worth posting. I might have 8 pairs of heels.

    Nice collection. Those yellow boots are crazy!

  8. I looked into Just Fab, but as soon as I found out about monthly membership fees I dropped the idea. Too many other places to buy online with no fee, plus I noticed their shoes where obscure brands.

    Since your wife is THAT cool I would search the net for some really colourful pumps in her size so you could surprise her. I think you could find something in fairly fast order. You two will then have some real eye candy to watch tv during those famously long North Dakota winters. 8) HinH

    I buy her heels from time to time. She comments that she can't wear them like she used to so she tells me not to buy her heels any longer, but I still do.

    Nice pics.

    Do you have good experiences with Onlymaker?
    I bought one pair, but the heels wasn't stable and broke quite soon.

    I bought a pair of Onlymaker platform pumps a while back. Nice looking shoe, but I couldn't wear them, they just didn't fit and I tried my normal size which was too small, then ordered a size up, which was long enough, but still very tight in the toe box. Strange fitting shoes, IMO! I was very disappointed, I had waited until the pair I wanted were available on Amazon Prime so I could return them if needed. good thing I did as i just can't wear them. :-(

  11. I bought these of Ebay the other day. With the warmer weather I needed a pair of summer pumps! I was wearing them while watching TV when my wife first saw them. She loved them and was disappointed when she couldn't get a pair in her size!

    I'm curious. Why did "men's heels" in that link equate to ridiculous platform "eff me" heels, none of which I would wear even in private, never mind in public? Where are the more sedate and tasteful shoes that don't look like junk strippers or streetwalkers would parade around in? Perhaps this is just me, but I see that as a cynical stereotype that doesn't help our small heeling community.

    Umm, never see women wearing these, outside of a stripper bar? 

    I see women wearing similar shoes fairly often, with a tasteful dress. My wife has similar shes she will wear out on a date, and she is a 58 year old mom. Your comment seems narrow minded.

     

  13. I have always been the opposite. Go to bed late, then sleep in.  My clock is slowly adjusting to getting up earlier over the years. Years ago I would go out to my shop and putz around until 1-2 AM, then hit the sack. Even so, about 9 AM was about as late as I would sleep in.

    My father in law was an early riser and he would always give me crap about my hours. In his mind any work done after 6 PM had no value. It was funny as I had many discussions with him over it. He would go to bed early, but sleep more hours than I did. He normally would get 8-9 hours of sleep, where I run on 6-7 hours, some nights as low as 5 hours.

    I ran my own business for a few years and often would hit it hard in the evening. I could get a bunch of work done when everyone else was shutting down for the night. It was nice and peaceful, no distractions.
