freestyle75

Well...what should I say? I am torn. I am torn between something positive along Jkrenzer's answer, basically reminding myself that this forum is about people who want to explore and extend boundaries when it comes to men's fashion. Then again, I do think that freestyle should not mean lack of style, but rather that you manage to cross a line but in a way that people see you and those with some (limited) fashion sense will go and say: cool! or even "wow!". However I can't see this in the outfit you have chosen.

Why? First, because it was very sunny and warm in Frankfurt. Look around... and you will see lots and lots of women wearing sneakers or flats (unfortunately), or some of them wearing sandals. The pumps in your second picture fit much, much better to the current weather than those boots. Personally, I don't wear boots in summer time, and that's the first thing that's kind of "off" for me in your outfit. I also think that the beige boots would fit better with a long blue jeggings or skinny jeans instead of a black hose. Use Kuler to find colors that are complementary to each other.

Second, the hose/shorts/t-shirt: I have a hard time putting this into diplomatic words, for me this just doesn't work. It does work if you are an anorexic fashion model with very slim legs and tuck the shirt into your shorts and have a shirt that clings to your body to emphasize a narrow midsection. Even if you are ok with the hose/shorts, the loose T-Shirt completely destroys the outfit, there is nothing holding it together.

Having said this, I do think that - at least from what I can see - your second outfit is better. Pumps fit better in the current weather, flesh-colored (light) hose is better, pumps & top do match in color (black). If your top actually is a dress, I could imagine that this could work very well.

I am sorry to be so harsh, but I am always quite blunt with my replies. If you do indeed visit a mall, find some female sales clerk and ask her what she would change in the outfit you wear to improve it. If she is totally negative upfront, find a different one. You have already made the step to go out as much freestyle as you can go out, and you are in a foreign city. I've had some of the best shopping trips when I was very open to the sales clerks.

Again, kudos to you for embracing what you love - you shouldn't realize when you are 80 how many things you would have liked to do, so keep rockin' !

Hi,

you might want to stop by at the Palmengarten in Frankfurt city, one of the largest botanical gardens in that area. Take a look here. Just a coincidence, but there will be a "festival of lights" taking place on Saturday in the Palmengarten starting at around 7 pm and ending at around 10:45 pm with large fireworks. See translation here.

Other than that, the MainTower, also located in Frankfurt, is the highest vantage point above Frankfurt and allows a magnificient view. Make sure to bring your camera. More info here.

For going to a Zoo, you actually would have to travel slightly outside of Frankfurt, to the OpelZoo, which is located approx. 30 km outside of Frankfurt, about 30 minutes to drive by car. It's not soooo overwhelming, so if you aren't a big fan of animals, you might want to settle for the Palmengarten instead.

That's as much as I know of Frankfurt. For safe zones, avoid anything that's close to the central train station, as there is the red light district close by and you might receive unpleasent treatment there, especially during evening hours. In general, I am not aware of any areas with a "laid back attitude". Neither Frankfurt nor Mainz are totally "laid back", but are also not totally conservative. Just use the usual caution just as with any larger city.

When it comes to streets, there are some cobbled streets in Frankfurt, but more so in Mainz. Personally, I haven't been so often in Mainz, so I can't really say anything about any things to see there. I searched for auto museums, but couldn't find any around the Mainz/Frankfurt area - every auto museum is at least 1-2 hours away.

Hope you still receive this information in time to use it :-)

Enjoy!

Go to pinterest, search for "dos donts jeggings" ... and you would find a gazillion of photos how to wear them. One very common theme that applies both for jeggings and leggings: Wear a top that is long enough to cover the front of the jeggings/leggings, e.g. a very long turtleneck. This way, you don't have to think about tucking.

Why do women prefer to wear a longer top with leggings/jeggings? -- as much as the front might look smooth, there is also no space for imagination left when looking at the booty. For slim women, that might be a nice look, but 90% of what I've seen literally asks for a longer top. Very visible when standing in line at a fast food restaurant...
 

I would also go with the most comfy ones. If both are "comfy", I would also add another point of view: style.

The wider block heel is very "in" at the moment, while the narrow heel is a more classic form. If you want to go for something that will be still totally ok fashion-wise in 2 years from now, go for the narrower heel. If you are like me, go for the block heel. I know that I probably would want to have block-type heeled boots in 2 years from now... and then I won't be able to find such a pair, as fashion has moved on

I don't want to derail this topic (playing in high-heels), but Thighbootguy: You are totally right when you say that "some peoples mind handle that kind of syncopation so effortlessly". I did play piano when I grew up, but once I started studying, I didn't have access to a piano anymore, and since then, my abilities faded. Nonetheless, I was never very good at these kinds of pieces that require your left hand to play something that is basically "separate" from your right hand, as it is often the case in Jazz. My favorite piece (I tried and failed miserably) is this one - it picks up speed at 0:31 and basically becomes totally unplayable for me at 1:14... enjoy...

I've got the Bianca Botta boots (knee high) in size 41.5 (EUR), with a heel height that states 140 mm on the box. Just measured it: 140 mm heel. So both the box label and the heel height are identical. The other pair of Louboutins is currently stored away in the basement... but these are boots too. You are probably looking for pumps, right?

In general, I find Louboutins to be on the narrow side. They are only topped by YSL. If you have wide feet, don't buy Louboutins, and definitely don't buy YSL

First of all, only you know whether everyone would be fine with you appearing there in high heels. Even with friends who know that I wear heels, I would ask them first whether they would be ok with me appearing with heels on their wedding party - it's a special event for them, so I want to honor their wishes. Not every guest might be ok with our choice of footwear.

But let's assume really everyone is fine with you wearing heels. You mentioned that it is a large lawn/field that this party is taking place. You really want to wear stiletto heels to a party that's taking place on a lawn? Seriously?!  -- I would rather recommend wedges, which are much more comfortable if you are walking on grass. Read this if you don't believe me.

So... apart from the shoes yes, but the heels are a no-go for me, simply for practical reasons.

Oh, I forgot to include important information for those of you who are interested. The height of the taller heels is 5 1/2", and the shorter heels measure a mere 5 1/8". The platforms on both are identical at 1". 

Michael Kors shoes are made in... guess? Right... China.

What I am writing now is an educated guess: China uses the metric system. So when you measure any heels, you would have to do that in centimeters when they come from China. My assumption is that the heels they make are not exactly proportional to the size of the foot, but do have "jumps" to the next higher heel height that is being produced.

So... they are jumping from 5.125 inches (approx. 13 cm) to 5.5 inches (14 cm). My assumption is that the maker chose to go to the next available height for the larger pair, so he/she took a 14 cm heel. The smaller the heel is, the more likely you will find finer variations in heel height, e.g. 6 cm, 6.5 cm, 7 cm.

Would be interesting to talk to someone who actually works in one of MK's factories to confirm what I just wrote

BTW... I do think that you are among the 0.000000000000001% worldwide who looks at his heels from that point of an "engineering" angle

@robbiehhw: I agree on all that you said, and trust me, if my parents hadn't done what they did, I would have transitioned (had sent a CT scan of my skull to Dr Ousterhout's office who was quite famous in the TS community, had booked my flights to San Francisco). I felt great on HRT, and I felt numb once I discontinued. There is a large spectrum of people with GD - for some, transition is the only way out, some can live without transitioning and do cope with it somehow.

What I wanted to remind FantasiArt of was that it is a decision not taken lightly, and that there are many ways to cope with GD. If today's society would accept more non-binary people, some might not even feel the need to transition fully. For me, being able to dress how I like and recognizing that I can do this even while still staying a (maybe not so regular) guy was a major pressure relief.

Regarding "very little that is not reversible": After 4 months of HRT, everything that I got to that point stayed - and the growth was kind of amazing for the short period of time (dosage was administered by a physician, and I guess he didn't start "low"). I cannot go topless. Narrow-fit shirts at work only with a compression vest underneath; no swimming pool during vacations (it's a love/hate relationship that I have with what HRT caused). I would have wished that the result of my 80+ hours of painful facial electrolysis had stayed with me, but the beard came back to a certain extent. As they say: Your miles may vary.

You might wanna check out the tsroadmap website, which I found quite helpful. I was around your age when I felt the need to transition - I managed not to (went to therapy for over a year, was diagnosed officially as being TS and started hormone therapy - when I told my parents, things went downhill for my transition. Today, I am glad that I didn't transition, as I managed to incorporate lots of traditionally female things to my daily life).

But also be sure, and with "sure" I mean freakingly absolutely sure that you need to transition. If you long to wear women's clothing, it might feel uncomfortable at first for you and your parents, but it is something you can live with. This article is worthwhile reading, here's an excerpt:

<< Don't do it! That's my advice. This is the most awful, most expensive, most painful, most disruptive thing you could ever do. Don't do it unless there is no other alternative. You may think your life is tough but unless it's a choice between suicide and a sex-change it will only get worse. And the costs keep coming. You lose control over most aspects of your life, become a second class citizen and all so you can wear women's clothes and feel cuter than you do now. Don't do it is all I've got to say.

That's advice I wish someone had given me. [...] nobody stopped me and said "Are you honest to God absolutely sure this is the ONLY path for you?!" To the contrary, the voices were all cheerfully supportive of my decision. I was fortunate that the web didn't exist then - there are too damn many cheerleaders ready to reassure themselves of their own decision by parading their "successful" surgeries and encouraging others. >>

You are 27 now - you are past the time where you can stop certain things from happening (deeper voice, beard growth, bone structure, etc.), so PLEASE take enough time to figure out whether you really need to go all the way.

Just imagine you would live in a society where you could style and dress yourself however you would like (makeup, long hair, dresses, heels, etc.) - would you still feel the need to transition? If not, it's better and safer to continue crossdressing and not undergo risky surgeries.

Hmm... looked at the different styles... most of them look way too much "Jeffrey Campbell" to me - the platform simply is too high, the shoes look out of proportion. Maybe as a 15 year old, yes, but at age 30 or 40... no, thank you. The wedges looked similar to the Rick Owens ones at first, but then again... platform too high.

I don't like shoes that are too pointed, so "George" is also out. That leaves "Chad" is the only remainder, which also leaves me torn. On the one hand, I've seen a similar style by certain designers (reminds me a little of YSL Tribtoo), but then again, this style is probably more geared towards the fetish oriented. Not saying that it cannot look great, but I just imagine someone starting to wear heels, and then starting out with such a pair. This will probably look like this .

Also from a structural/technical point of view: The heel of "Chad" is placed at the very back of the shoe, so in terms of stability, it is more prone to break. Unless they have used great materials, at a size > 10 mens (and the corresponding weight) they will probably face a lot of complaints about breaking heels.

Why not put up some heels for men that show a bit more class? Less platform, less "chunkiness" would make these shoes look so much better.

I applaud them for bringing out shoes for men, but I hope that they add styles that are more wearable.

Shopsyro: I like their mission statement, but they really should think about the "community" they are linking to. The current link just seems like the developer put in some random text, just as if I would do this: oijasdoijasd.com - their domain is fjnfj.com, which is for sale . Maybe someone could give them a hint to link to this forum

@MackyHeels I am a US size 8.5 (men) and I normally wear US size 11 for women. Very few shoes in US size 10 also fit me (sneakers from New Balance and heels from Michael Kors), with some designers (Louboutin) I have to go up to a US 11.5 or even a 12 (women).

So... I would assume that your women's size is a US 12, with very few 11 fitting you and probably some designers where you even would have to go up to a 13. Sorry to say: you are out of luck. I know hardly any designer brand that produces a size 12 or even 13 in their heels.

@northshoreguy1981

For some reasion I like the Tony Bianco heels better, but they look kind of dark purple in one of the pics. I would prefer black to be combined with that dress. I think combining the blazer with the dress is a classic combination that works for both men and women, so it should work with this dress as well. If possible try to cut the pictures just below the head, so it's better to judge how the combination looks like.

Overall a nice combination!

You certainly know how to increase the active participation rate of this forum

Thanks for the compliments. A little over 150 pairs of shoes here, probably around 110 or 120 pairs of them being heels

So how is your BF doing - also still wearing heels? Just curious. I looked at the map of Levittown, PA, as I never had heard of it before and read on Wikipedia that it is one of the earliest planned communities in the US. It looks quite amazing from a satellite point of view with all those little houses nicely stacked up. Looks like a nice place to live, but also quite "Desparate Housewives" like (everyone knows everyone else). Is it even possible as a guy to walk around in heels outside without becoming the talk of town?

If you wanna see my full outfit with these sandals, click here (posted under "Freestyle" photos).

Well... long time no posting in this thread... so I thought I should shoot a few more photos. Again I set up my home studio, this time not paying too much attention to the lighting, so some of the pictures are a bit "too warm" from a colour temperature perspective. Hope you don't mind.

Outfit #1: Cashmere trench and Marlene trousers

The winter season is almost done, temperatures are already in the 60s (F) range here - still I wanted to share two outfits that I like very much. Unfortunately it is getting too warm to wear them. Outfit number one is my favorite petrol coloured trench.

Burberry Sandringam Cashmere trenchcoat (same as worn by Jennifer Lawrence. I got it first though ). Gray turtleneck by some mail order company, marlene trousers by German company Hallhuber, booties by Prada, bag "PS13" by Proenza Schouler.

Outfit #2: Same as no. 1, but with an offwhite-coat, also by Burberry. Got it during winter sale.

Normally I would wear that coat with a matching scarf, but it was too warm during the photo shooting to put that on as well

Outfit #3: Biker.

I have always tried to incorporate some sort of biker jacket in one of my outfits (as they say, every fashionista should own a biker jacket), but it just doesn't look that cool to me. At least in plain leather - I've ordered a similar jacket by Balenciaga in suede which should arrive next week - I am curious whether that looks better. In addition, in the righthand picture it looks like I am pregnant or got a big beer gut, neither of which I have. Still I should lose some weight when I see these two pictures

Biker jacket by "Be Edgy" (Zalando), T-Shirt by Karl Lagerfeld, Jeans by Dr. Denim, Booties by Yves Saint Laurent (again, a winter sale item ).

Outfit #4: My take on the 70s for a summer outfit. Probably not even really close to the 70s, but how I would imagine something refined with flared jeans.

Blouse by Burberry (doesn't have any bust darts, so it works for men), flared jeans by s.Oliver, sandals by Gianvito Rossi (summer season 2016), bag "PS1" by Proenza Schouler.

Outfit #5: Flared leather pants as an evening combo

If you remember "Men in Black II", there was this evil alien (Serleena) that dressed up in a hot leather outfit. In that movie, she was wearing flared leather trousers, which I have been looking for ever since. This summer, Danish designer Malene Birger had flared leather trousers in her collection, so I had to buy them.

Flared leather pants by Malene Birger, Blouse from Diane von Fürstenberg (again, no bust darts), suede platform boots by Vicini (the highest ones I got - I am still considering whether I should shorten the trousers just a little, would be more versatile), "M" leather clutch made by myself.

So... what do you think?

Hi everyone,

the sandals (No. 1) have arrived in the meantime, but since I am back to work, I didn't really have that much time making photos. I will post an outfit photo probably on Sunday this week. As a quick preview, I photographed the shoes with the two bags that would work in combination: My Proenza Schouler PS 1 in suede, as well as the (cheap) Yves Saint Laurent copy from German company Hallhuber. This fringe bag was very much "in" in 2015, but still is being used in variations of this design even in 2016 quite often. As the second bag goes out of style much faster, I didn't want to buy the original, which is quite pricey. The sandals match both colors quite well - not exactly, but close enough.

I wasn't entirely sure whether I wanted to keep the sandals. Size-wise they are ok, but the cork material (platform & heel) seems to have been protected with some surface layer which makes it look a little "plastic-y" in some areas. Not visible on the picture above, I might make a close-up of that in one of the later posts. Still, I decided to keep them as the suede is very soft, which could make these sandals the first that don't cause blisters (every other sandal I have causes them...). In addition, I already tried the sandals together with a (slightly) flared jeans, and I really liked the look. More pictures to follow!

Sorry to disappoint, my answer is no. The only time I've been wearing heels was when I ordered Saint Laurent booties that ran slightly small and I wanted to break them in using thicker socks.

I guess it very much depends on how much you are able to wear your heels outside. I regularly wear heels in my spare time to run errands, strolling along the major shopping streets or visiting events. Just this Monday (had a day off) I was heeling pretty much all day long and was happy that I had a full day to myself, but also happy when I could take the heels off later that day. I didn't really feel the need to put on heels at home.

Second reason why I don't heel at home is, because I rent an apartment that had just been built when I moved in and has beautiful untreated parquet (wooden) flooring (one reason why I rented it, it really looks remarkable). This floor is quite sensitive to scratch-marks and dents, and I don't want to try out whether my heels leave these marks on the floor (I have seen such dents caused by high heels at a friends' apartment). When I was breaking in the heels described above, I was just wearing them in the rooms where I've put larger carpets.

Hi everyone,

first of all: Thanks for all of your answers (wow, quite overwhelming) !

On a personal note: I returned from hospital today, where they removed a pigtail stent that was still inserted between my left kidney and bladder due to the previous surgeries (4 of them) where they removed multiple kidney stones. Geee... I feel soooooooo relieved now. I wasn't able to wear any of my slim fitting trousers or jeans (major pain due to the stent), wasn't able to walk in heels, ... I was barely able to walk at all. After they removed that thing I am back to normal. After 6 weeks of not being able to walk further than about 50 yards without wanting to sit down due to agonizing pain, it feels like total freedom again . My kidney has not fully recovered from the surgeries yet (still some swelling), but I am taking meds that will hopefully bring it back to normal. No pain at the moment. First time in 6 weeks that I am without pain and can probably sleep without waking up during the night. I am so happy right now. Unbelievable. But I digress... anyway... that also made me want to treat myself after this truly exhausting and painful 6 weeks.

For those that don't like the 70s style fashion: Well... I get you now. After some of you started saying that this was a horrible time, I searched for "original" photos from that time, and found several that really made me question why I would want to replicate any of that ...

But then again, @Thighbootguy is right. If you look at the current jeans that are offered stating that they are a "70s" look - they are FAR away from a true 70s look. According to one website, when the flared jeans reached their peak, the bottom bell/flare opening had a width of up to 32 inches... meaning that the flares were HUGE. Nowadays, flared jeans are just a bit wider than boot cut jeans, not coming close to the originals from the 70s. Which is a good thing. It looks a little more refined.

So, when I want to create a 70s look, it's probably not even remotely 70s, but what someone who never experienced the 70s (I was born 1975, so the 70s as an era can't be too bad ) would imagine the 70s to be. Using more modern cuts, less flare, less platform... taking what the original idea of the 70s was, but not overdoing it as they did back then.

Before I started the poll, I leaned towards No. 1, which was my favorite. Half way through the poll, the majority had selected No. 1 as well, which confirmed my original thought. As the store only had one size 11 left, I ended up ordering No. 1 today. Only after I ordered, the poll changed towards favoring No. 3 and 4.

By the way - No. 1 is also the most expensive one ( 1 € = 1.14 USD):

• No. 1: 595 € from Gianvito Rossi
• No. 2: 180 € from Jeffrey Campbell
• No. 3: 130 € from Windsor Smith
• No. 4: 250 € from Vic Matie

I will now first wait for the No. 1 to arrive. If I don't like it, I may order No. 3 or 4 and see what fits better.

@maninpumps: No. 3 is truly 70s like, I agree. I am still torn whether I want to have something "truly" 70s like, or whether it is just leaning towards something that takes a flavor of the 70s, but with a more modern spin. This I can only decide once the No. 1 pair is delivered and I can try them with some of my flared jeans.

I think that @Heelster also made quite a good point on No. 4 being wearable also with skinny jeans. No. 4 in my opinion takes some elements of the 70s, but combines it with a very modern color scheme and materials (rubber coated leather). The main disadvantage about No. 4 is that the strap that runs across ones feet has quite a sharp edge (only visible on the shop's website when you zoom in), so I could imagine that you either end up with a painful "dent" across your toes at the end of a day, or even with minor cuts. Otherwise I might have gone for No. 4, as they look most modern in my opinion of all.

I will post a couple of pics once they arrive, which should be later next week.

Thanks again for all of your comments and thoughts!

Hey everyone,

after having been in and out of hospital for the past few weeks due to kidney stones (last smaller surgery this Friday), I plan to invest in a nice 70s look once I have recovered completely, i.e. flared 70s style jeans, maybe some longer tunic, a hobo bag and ... 70s type sandals. I have looked online for a few pairs that have a platform and a block heel, just like the usual 70s like sandals were.

Number 1 and 2 have suede upper leather, which might be more forgiving to ones feet (less prone to blisters), number 3 has plain leather and number 4 is the "modern" take on the 70s with some sort of poly-blend upper. I would like to buy a sandal that looks close to the 70s, but is also wearable once the trend is gone (probably 2017...) and doesn't look too outdated then (not too sure therefore about #2 due to the massive 2.3" in platform).

Which one would you take if you could only order one pair (I want to limit my shopping...):

Hi Preston,

in terms of job applications / choice, I would choose paramedic first, then firefighter, then auto mechanic (I would probably go for become a medical doctor instead of paramedic, simply because the income is higher. Radiologists have the highest income of all medical professions btw).   

I studied computer science and economics, and although I earn quite a lot of money, I often feel that what I do doesn't fulfill a higher purpose. Which means: I am doing marketing for a product that is in an oversaturated market, which people don't really need. So I develop clever ways to take away market share from a competitor's company and develop ways to improve customer service. Still... it's not as rewarding as saving a human being's life, which is what a paramedic does. At the same time, it can also be stressful for you if you see people die, which also happens even to the best paramedics.

Firefighter also is a quite honorable job in terms of saving lives, but it is also much more risky for yourself. Don't know whether this is the best choice as a job.

Auto mechanic is a job that will change tremendously in the future. The things you will learn in the next 2 - 3 years will become partly obsolete in 15 years from now, when cars are no longer powered by combustion engines, but change to electric or hydrogen. Also, cars will become much more computerized, so an education with a background in electronics / computer engineering will become more and more a pre-requisite to fixing them. I am not sure how rewarding a job as an auto mechanic is, IF you are looking to help people.

That is the order in terms of what you get out of it from a psychological perspective ("helping others"). If you look at it financially, the order is different. If you want to earn lots of money later on, go for auto mechanic. This way, you can at some point open your own car sale, rework cars you buy cheap and sell them at a higher price. Specialize in a certain field (e.g. restoration of Porsche's), and if you are clever, you can become quite wealthy.

But also be aware that car sales will probably become less in the future, as traditional models ("I own a car") will change towards a sharing economy (use a car as you go, rent it on an hourly basis), so less cars might be needed, which leads to less car sales / less auto mechanics being required.

Average salaries for the job fields you have selected:

• Automotive Service Technician: 21,544 - 59,779 USD
• Fire Figher: 25,913 - 73,125 USD
• Paramedic 28,049 - 58,477 USD

The median salary (if you take all different salary levels from low to high and look what the salary at 50% of all salaries is, so NOT the average, but the median), they are pretty much the same: 42K, 44K, 44K. I don't know what the tax is in the US, but here in Europe, you are paying up to 50% in taxes on your salary. Applying that to an income of 44K leaves around 22K net income to live, which is 1,833 USD per month. Please consider whether this is the level of income you are happy with - maybe also once you got a wife and kids.

One thing that you also should consider is: If you are not happy with your salary, what can you do? Which job offers you the best opportunity to still grow in 15 - 20 years time? What do you consider more important - money (income) or serving mankind ?

These are things you should consider upfront before choosing a certain job.

Sorry that I don't have anything to add regarding your heels, but I do think that the choosing a job that will be with you (probably) your whole life is way more important than your choice of footwear. It's just shoes, you know

Hi Joe,

I am at 152 pairs now, and I do think they are too many. At an average price of 460 USD though, I won't be putting any of them on ebay. Yes, even I still look at new ones and still buy new ones... but then again, I know that it's already past the mark where it is really healthy. But: I do wear all of my pairs out once in a while, so these are not only placed in a shelf to look at.

With the collection you have, I would ask myself: How many do you really still wear? How many can you get rid of?

Apart from the sheer volume, I wonder how much you can really care for over 300 pairs of shoes. Leather requires some maintenance, even if not worn. It becomes dry over time, so a replenishing cream is useful to keep its softness. Otherwise, the leather may become brittle, the shoes break and become unusable. All of my 152 pairs still look very much new, as - before I wear them (and after I wear them and store them away) - they will undergo a "care" routine. This might be the full program or just a light buffing, but this way they keep their look. Do you use some sort of care routine for your shoes as well?

An impressive collection nonetheless. Do you also have as many clothes or is it "just" shoes?

I've got two pairs (ankle booties, not knee-high boots), both are a US size 10 and run large. Normally I am a US size 11, but for these ones, a 10 was enough. They are 3 years old by now, so I don't know whether MK has changed the sizing.

Beware though, the boots are made in China, and depending on whether you are lucky or not, the quality is not always up to the expected level for the price MK is charging.

Got these boots from Daniel Footwear last week. The store manager in my local store is so friendly and helpful. Makes trying them on so easy

Wooooowww... these are really nice - exactly what I would buy.

Already searched for that pair on DanielsFootwear, House of Frasier and similar sites, but UK 8 is sold out everywhere

Enjoy them!
