Nice. I really like the patent ones.

Happy new year, everyone!

Merry xmas to all of you

when the singer ' came out '.

Lemmy,

Hungry Like The Wolf You've no idea how much not getting it was annoying me

Sounds a little like Here To Eternity by Iron Maiden, but I know it's not. I can't quite put my finger on it but it's very familiar.

Thanks. I only have two other pairs of heels, both Pleasers in US14/UK11 and they're a little bit too big. I can get away with it with the boots but with the shoes, they're just too big and my feet keep falling out of them. I think I must have quite narrow heels, perhaps. With these, they're tight so I can't get them on wearing socks but not too tight as to be overly uncomfortable.

I picked up these 5" courts from Barrats recently. I went with a size smaller than my usual flat size - UK10/US13 instead of 11/14 and they fit rather well, better than any heeled size 11 I've tried. Even one size smaller opens up a wide range of heels for me which is great as options are really limited with my size foot.

Sounds like a laugh, I'm in.

Good luck with the search, I've been looking for something like that in 11

They're really nice, well done

In my very limited experience a chunky heel is easier to get around in.

Yes, thankfully most of the foums I visit insist on some grammatic effort, both from moderators and users. To be honest, I don't even make an effort to read something where someone is typing garbage, either text speak or long paragraphs with no punctuation. Life's too short.

Well done both of you, they're both excellent additions.

I just bought a pair of these off ebay. I think they'll be quite a challenge but for 25 quid, why not?

Thanks, everyone, it's nice to be here.

You look great.

Good for you, well done.

I would love a pair of these if they were a little less expensive, and if I thought I could walk in them without lots and lots of practice.

Great choice. I was looking at them recently. I'll be keen to know how you get on.

I don't see why not. Post on, I say.

I love that style of shoe. I saw sow something similar to this in real leather which I really liked, can't find the pic now though.

Most of the people whom will vote for Obama or Romney are doing such in FEAR of the ' other guy '. It shows how divisive we have become that we have to worry about our neighbors and fellow citizens trying to push their beliefs onto each other. Very sad.

From a European perspective, and based the media coverage which finds its way over here, your election seems to be little more than a personality contest played out on TV where each side simply demonises the other. The whole thing is a play on fear. There's very little constructive output or any real reliance on policies, it's just hammer the other guy. It's quite clear Obama has been a disappointment but is four years long enough to undo what is little more than bankruptcy? It's also clear Romney is getting a huge push from big business which, let's be frank, seldom does anything for the greater good. That, were I voting, would be quite disturbing and have a big influence on where I would cast my vote. When I think of Romney, I can't help but get that Greg Stillson kind of feeling.

As for resentment, US foreign policy is what it is. What are your kids doing getting killed in Iraq and Afghanistan? Why is the US destabilising the middle East? These kind of things have negative consequences for all us. The "terrorist" tag is great for headlines but it's low on substance. Why is the US such an object of hate for so many cultures? It can't just be because you love freedom so much, you know what I mean? Does freedom really exist in a country where the word "liberal" is practically spat out with disgust from many mouths?

Controversial one here, but would stopping all foreign aid include Israel too?

Agreed. Part of the appeal of heels for me is how they look and these don't do it for me at all.

Size 13 US or UK?
