Stilettoscot

Trinity is the same "Trinity" on the Matrix series.

My dream shoes would be edible. Made from diferent flavoured and coloured candy. They would smell like honey suckle and never have touched the ground.

When I wear them I will lay on the riverbank, on my belly, in the warm sunshine and watch turtles playing over the shingle in crystal clear water and giggle while the shoes are sucked and licked from my feet.

Pure poetry...

People are talking about shopping at Aldos or other trendy women-specific high heel stores. This is the only hurdle I can't leap just yet.

These smaller, concentrated shops are STILL hard for me to go into and actually try the shoes on. Their entire shop is very small, with large glass windows, and usually pretty busy. It's strange. I'll go into any "family-style" store, and try shoes on. Clearance rack at a big mall department store? Fine. But these "full service" shoe stores still kinda scare me.

I think the main reason that I'm scared is that I don't think those places will carry my size 11, and it'll just be a waste of time. I suppose I'll never know if I don't try - but hey, I've come a long way here.

As someone who may be working in an Aldo store in a few weeks, I have to say that these type stores may be the BEST places to try on shoes around! But, I see your point about the windows...

Tips:

1. Talk to the clerk (especially a pretty lady) right away about your wishes to try on the shoes. Don't nervously peek around at the shoes...go right up to a saleslady. Once you see how helpful and attentive she will be towards you trying on/buying heels, your initial anxiety will fade quick.

2. Have the "footsies" ready, and try on the shoes pointing away from the windows (usually towards the registers).

3. Wear in pants you will want to match the shoes with, and ASK THE SALESLADY HER TAKE! This will take your mind off of anything else around you. Noone else will matter, trust me.

4. Have several styles to try on. Nothing says confidence like a bunch of beautiful shoes near you!

OR, you could go to the mall where I'll (hopefully) be working soon...LOL

Oh, and most Aldo stores have the majority of their style go up to size 11, which they list a EU43 (more of a 42)....

So, Freddy, if you die, you hope the summers in the UK get brighter and warmer??

Is that how you walk, Amanda??

Horrible work boots/sneaks, and one pair of dressier boots in cranberry color. I own 4 pairs of men's shoes, and like 13 women's.

If I die soon, I'll have my folks give my shoes to Amanda. We're the same size, afterall!

12 awsome pairs!

Gina, Awsome! Those sandals might have the most beautiful heels I've ever seen!

Now 13, all stiletto....

Who is to say what works and what does not?

The new, old Jake attracts much more female interest.

I will have to live with that.

Sounds rough...

The attention is there because they like a man who is confident in themself!!

Dave, Yes, everyday I wear them is different. Several times I wanted to wear in my heels to my insurance agent's place, as she is a very attractive women with a great heel taste. First 3 times I went to pay, I got the cold feet. 4th time, I went in wearing 4.5" stiletto pumps, and the reaction from here and the other ladies there was great! I stayed for like 20 minutes, and was completely at ease...even walking over the hardwood floor! Last week I wanted to do it again, and chickened out... go figure!

Without a picture, I can't say for sure, but how do you know the "image in your head" is accurate? Seems Magickman had a vision of what HE wanted to look like, and I'd say from the description he got what he wanted. My ex told me once that girls do NOT go up to someone and give compliments unless they truly mean it. She said they just aren't wired that way... Kudos Magic!

Thanks guy!! The test drive, and the main event both went off great. The "problem" is the pics ar eon my gf's camera, so it might be later today (I hope) before she gets them on the PC... So, I'll write it all up when the pics can help me...LOL LD, Macy's, off the clearance rack (size 9.5), $40!

Where Art Thou?

A new, beautiful pair of stilettos baought yesterday for a big night out tonight. That is my foot in the shoe at a local club....

Excellent read, thank you!

A nice pair of Bandolino 4.5" stiletto pumps, low vamp, and thick ankle strap that I "impulse" bought yesterday. Have a new look for tonight's outing (think more "rocker"), and these had to come with me. Here's the bartender grabbing a pic of them at the local club I go to as a "test ride" to make sure they were comfortable for 5 hours of dancing!

miserably...

Iron.

lead.

Gymnast.

Sooner than you think if she keeps on that diet.

It depends on your personality. If you're able to get to places without too much pain, and enjoy the outside walk aspect of the heels, then keep them on. If not, switch for yourself, regardless of other's opinions of what you should wear (even if guys like me love seeing ladies in heels all the time..LOL)..

Sweet!
