Yes , all leather. And if you dont watch the heel height, yes, they are confortable! for the size, i am 44,5. so i always prefer take smaller size because i hate too large shoes. they fit well 

Assume that the sizing are normal. Often some Euro sizing in heels often come smaller then normal. Bought Chinese heels in 42 found them to loose to walk comfortable. Indeed correct sizing and snug fit is needed for someone able to walk in heels. Wearing mine that are to big tend to slip off which makes it troubling to walk in.

season for pumps is comming ,  so, i got this from fuss-schuhe

   

 

 

size 44, 16.5 cm of heels. I just need to get more shoe leather extenser, and this will be perfect to walk in it 

All leather I presume. Are the comfortable worth the price paid. Are the sizing accurate to US shoes?

thanks for sharing. Looks great. 

Nobody cares if straight guy wears heels as a topic of interest. Often people want to know why if you do wear heels just for curiosity sake. If your gay then it all comes to focus as stereotype and accepted. While straight male is disturbing to think he would wear heels many trying answer how come he wears heels, questioning your mental health. Yet many just assume without asking  your gay because no straight male would dare wear such clothes, colours, shoes etc..  

When some assume i'm gay because i wear feminine outfits they are confused or shocked with disbelief that i'm straight. Often are stubborn to believe it laughing not agreeing or accepting i'm straight. Then when they try to stare upon me with different eyes often i'm laughed upon looking silly. While before assuming i was gay they didn't laugh only accepted my style with little bemused smile.

At work buddy of mine were talking i told him about female lesbien co-worker that introduced me to her partner. The female co-worker thought i was gay opening up to me thinking  we shared the same community or plight in society thus her introduction to her mate. When i told my buddy at work of the news he thought it made sense that she was a dyke because of her overweight physique. I sort of laughed at his stereotype labeling as making sense of her sexual preference from his stand point.. 

People feel it is insensitive to ask someone personal question of there lifestyle so they assume how you appear or way you style yourself then make judgement of you. Asking someone if there black or what gender they are when sometimes you can't clearly tell. Androgynous or skin colour can make people shy in asking who are you what background do come from etc... Only after they get clear answers they feel comfortable around them. While seeing straight male in female outfit or very least heels, confusing people asking themselves what motivates him to wear heels, skinny jeans, leggings  in order accepting our style choices.

New young beautiful voluptuous curvy black Woman trainer asked  me after observing for few months with an the aching question. She asked, "Seen you wear a lot of different outfits in the gym, are you some kind of cyclist? I smiled fully aware what she was eluding towards. If i'm a cyclist my staple yoga legging wardrobe makes sense to be worn when exercising. If not she will assume i'm feminine to the point of being gay thus wearing  what i do without shame. So my answer was a quick "no" to her, although i do cycle from time to time and understand the style serious road bike enthusiasts wear. Waited for her to follow up with a comment but she just answered "oh!" to my amusement. Almost wanted to add, i'm just a freak and crazy to wear woman yoga attire in public don't  you think?.. Then watch her expression... Either way she will assume what her upbringing taught her. Now she just leaves me alone not observing me at all. Like to say i do the same towards her distracted by her wonderful body in wrapped leggings what a sight to admire. 

Thanks for the story of your outing. Those sneaker look platform heels are fun. Nobody should be upset about you wearing them. Certainly no woman should feel they are overshadowed.  

Do have experience i like to share. In most cases wearing my harrow booties i don't think about it once arriving to a specific location doing errands anymore or have any anxiety or butterflies as some here say. 

Arrived at costco to pick-up few items i needed. So walking from my car to where they store the shopping carts inside like a open garage, seen elderly black female maybe early 60's late 50's was approaching  side by side with me to pull cart  out of the bunch squeezed together. I pulled one out quickly and told her she could have it. She looked me over noticing my skin tight light washed legging jeans. She scanned me again this time stared at my block 4" camel nubuck block heels.  Thinking to myself she would express some shock or disgust but her expression was stoic. She thanked me for the shopping cart. As i began to pull one out for myself facing my back to her, we both approached the entrance  at the same time to the warehouse, bunching up waiting for others walking in. She told me difficult to find a "gentlemen" these days. She exclaimed the word gentle-man as she looked upon my outfit almost trying find another word describing me.  The outfit i was wearing green field jacket 3/4 length enough to cover my hips and buttocks. The jeans were painted on my tone lean legs, accessorized with my heel booties made the outfit look great or enough for anyone observing me from the back thinking it was was well dressed woman. Anyways i told her it is difficult for some to pull out the shopping carts when they are stacked together often jamming together. She agreed as we departed shopping in different directions. 

Later on in the store seen one female closing in as i was reading ingredients on some clear coconut oil bottle. The female stood behind and moved next to me staring although never said a word like excuse me i need some oil on the selves, being it was palette of oil i was only blocking portion of it. Felt if i acknowledged her presence taking my eyes off the label she had something to say, but she pulled away. Did feel she gotten little to close beside me almost as she could read the label of the bottle in my hand all the room in aisle she gotten very close with nobody around.  As she pulled away i later began to wander towards the check-out but passed by couple male, female standing observing passing out or selling some display items or testers didn't pay them much attention. The man mumbled something to the woman he was working with she began to laugh loudly all along having nothing to do but observing me walking away in my shopping cart. Didn't know what was said but my instincts suggest they found me amusing or at least the woman did of heels and skin tight jeans i was wearing walking down the aisle from them as her cackle laughter was louder while i walking away back towards them.

Overall didn't receive any bad reactions any just minded there business as if i was wearing any sneakers or baggy pants. What surprised me was didn't see one lady in heels at the store. Find this often the case when i decide to wear heels observe few or any woman in them. When i decide to go out casual or more comfortable in sneakers i see more then usual females in heels. What gives anyone get this phenomenon themselves or is it just luck of the draw. 

Nice to find understanding people on FB that accept your outfit without judgement. The outfit is daunting for me to consider wearing out in public, suppose the platforms make it that way. Not afraid of wearing skin tight leggings although latex gives off a sexual fetish vibe in my opinion. Applaud  the fact your able to style yourself in that matter pushing the envelope of sorts  away from everyday fashion. 

Feel you inspired me as well others of your FB friend community to feel at ease whatever outfits i choose to wear in the days ahead.  Me as freestyler have doubts or anxiety of being accepted on any given style outfit, hoping from a select few, needing some encouragement what i try to have the ambition to wear. 

I agree with the ladies supporting the fact you do pull off the style rather well to what you shown. Sometimes it's difficult for some woman to swallow that a male like ourselves can wear outfits that surpass or equal to any woman styling themselves today. Woman feeling that i man should not look like a woman having giggle or laughed upon for attempting to style in that manner. Often in my fit community group, the ladies observe me yet never express themselves often enough of my similar style as you show. Either they become bitterly  jealous  finding my outfit not suitable for me to wear assuming i'm crazy not someone they can be friendly with. Or just keep to themselves shocked at my new outfits never letting me know they are envious and respect my taste and style. Rather ladies react bemused when they need to interact with me smiling as i can't believe your confidence of wearing woman provocative  sexy clothes  in public. 

CAT never seen anyone wear block heel sorels before or they made any. Nice touch with the high heathered socks worn over the leggings. Myself i wear wool socks like you CAT  but i do it with some Men's winter boots often i roll them back onto the boot. Also wear Born heel booties whenever i need to style my socks over super tight skinny jeans.

Not to be critical but do you have longer coat covering your hips rather the moto jacket? Often see exclusively females styling themselves with 3/4 winter outer coat when wearing leggings. Seems no woman dares to wear shorter jackets when in leggings for modesty sake. Although i don't believe in that style, long coats or sweaters, many woman feel it is necessary to cover their backside guessing most females are self conscious. While we guys enjoy showing off flaunting ourselves. My belief is why not show off my backside what is there to hide. In either case if someone is offended with my lululemon leggings or mocks me for wearing them or feels it is wrong for male to wear. My attitude shows i don't subscribe with some modest bland fashion rules. Think of  it this way  people are appalled seeing me in leggings so what is the difference if i wear them in modest ways like woman, or boldly like your pictures depict showing off hips down to the shoes.

Any other colours in lululemon leggings you dare to wear out in public or purchase. Black or navy heathered grey are safe colours but such a great brand makes wonderful styles of rainbow choices difficult for me to wear black exclusively. 

Adding another picture to the thread.

Blue jay i’m sure the outfit looked great and something I would wear myself. To bad you don’t have a picture. Very bold to go into church wearing tan brown leggings. Have similar outfit but often self conscious that wearing a coffee colour leggings as I did in gym in the past. Only because it appears i’m Naked or wearing pantyhose matching skin tone although optical illusion from a distance. 

Whenever I go to church wearing chunky heel people notice although never saying a word, few may chuckle in the back initially but they calm down eventually. 

As for your sweater fleece what colour and was it tunic length. Own turtleneck tunic shown below but find wearing it with dark footless pantyhose instead appears sexy as hell. 

Once I outfitting in brown male attire skinny brown female cigarette cut leg jeans, leather cowhide brown overcoat 3/4 length, brown waxed over shirt, with Frye brown block heel engineering boots. Found some filipino or Korean  teen made comments at church service I was dressed like some Asian communist leader. In the news at the time people seen soldiers wearing brown uniforms parading around. The mother family member sushed the teen girl and her snubbing demeanour. It was true  i could of added i appeared like a UPS delivery driver but I wanted a monotone style, unlike many who dress up in entire black, leggings, tops, shoes etc...

Do recommend wearing contrasting colours such as light beige sweater, suede booties, with the darker brown leggings maybe tan coloured over coat. Do see that colour style working well for ladies with bronzed brashy blonde coloured long hair. 

It compliments the skinny jeans i wear so well. The right heels look so good on woman, so why can't i try wearing them also. The dissonance it brings woman seeing me in heels also is worth while to observe and satisfying.

I totally agree with you.  I am in leggings almost every day or evening.  At home, shopping working out date night.   Never really posted many pics.  Pics I post are when I am dressed up out with GF and I pretty much always end up in a skirt and heels.  I will tell you I have close to 100 pairs of leggings, mostly all Lululemon. The problem is  my GF who teaches Pilates and two daughters are stocked with Lulu as well,,,,, I’m going broke just on that!!!!!!!

Didn't know you wear leggings often as you described.  Hundred leggings is a lot i buy two new bottoms a week for years exclusively the exact  brand you described. Only workout in  leggings or crops at the gym or cycling to from the beach when temperatures are bit cooler. Some people i overhear believe  i have a legging fetish seeing the amount of new tights i wear to the gym.  Don't find is necessary to wear leggings out on the street as many woman do it accessorized in flat flip flops or Uggs. Find it lot more fashionable and stylish wearing skinny distressed jeans fitted like leggings yet find it more appealing. Maybe leggings on the street is too much to stomach when i see it for hours in the gym. Heard amusing comment made to me that to some people observing styles worn everyone is dressed in superhero outfit fighting crime at night but workout in the gym in the daytime. Years ago i remembered being one of handful of people wearing leggings in the gym, now it seems every woman has them on even some guys with loose shorts on top which i never do.

CAT,

Great look with the leggings and long top. That's a look, that I sport a lot these days. In the last year I must of bought over 60 pairs of leggings and jeggings, both ankle length and capri lengths. I also have some bermuda lengths too.  I especially like the floral and multi print styles but do have lots of bright and plain colors, even some neon colors too and fleece lined leggings for winter weather  I'm already starting to buy the capri leggings for the upcoming season, in floral prints.

I'm seeing more guys wearing leggings out and about, with work boots and sneakers and yes those ugly UGGS and flip flops.  Women start  fashion trends, but us fashion forward men are ready to jump on a fashion band wagon, too. My wife and I have matching leggings that we wore for Valentine's Day and will wear for St. Patrick's Day.

So guys don't be afraid to wear  leggings out. I do and get lots of compliments from the ladies.

Happy Heeling,

bluejay

Bluejay i know the feeling wearing them leggings as you. Different colours added with tight tops can often lead to jealousy of what i'm wearing from the ladies overhearing such chatter about me.

Yet weird phenomenon often think about is guys like Cat, Bluejay and myself when asked to woman for any  type of survey. Are leggings on male acceptable large majority would disagree. Some comments i read woman would divorce their husbands if they were wearing such tight attire in public. Or laugh out loud saying, not my boyfriend or husband  seeing they may be overweight as most of the populus. 

Confused why woman can get away wearing them no matter their size or shape yet a male wears leggings he is looked upon as different? Quite a similar analogy can be made to male heeling as tight athletic clothing  or skimpy swimwear for tanning. Woman don't get judged wearing leggings but a man in them  it's considered long underwear.  Take a look at the link below about judgement. Bet if the woman on the talk show seen me would be judgemental even though they consider themselves open minded.

Your right Cat woman do compliment or show intrigue when i wear some leggings. Overhearing some private conversations among two woman about my outfits to the gym. They kept talking thinking i wouldn't hear them, or didn't understand of whom there talking about, seeing i entered end of there mid-discussion. They both agreed admitting to themselves my leggings are stylish and are extremely jealous. Yet on another hand find it very wrong, or troubling that i wear leggings for a man just like the females do. One of the woman finished the discussion by complimenting her friend that "HE" or (mackyheels)  looks like exact copy like you, less the long hair.  The other female nodded in agreement bemused saying, your right! 

Find it hypocritical the female above making such opinions about me acts friendly or untroubled whenever we chat. Yet i never expected or guessed she was so disgruntled or against me wearing leggings in same manner she does. Always thought seeing others from afar being critical of my gym attire laughing , mocking she wasn't joining them. That she stood silent uneffective to join in the juvenile antics  mocking me in fact i found her to be very unbiased, open minded and respectful towards me ignoring the jerks. Assuming she was very accepting of my gym attire finding nothing wrong with me or how i was dressed little did i know how wrong i was. Now i notice her eyes scanning whenever we chat judging my outfit and body, effectively not being totally accepting as i once thought through her stoic demeanour. Always thought she appeared tired or dreaded the workout only it was what she was blatantly observing standing in front of her as we chatted.

Take a listen to Melissa talking about the gym outfit at  minute 16:01 - 16:50.... 

Where do you keep your keys, phone or wallet? No jacket? 

Only went out in the mall once with tight long sleeve Theory top, tight AG leggings and heel booties. As you i overheard few open mouth stares or comments intrigued or curious of who or what i'm all about. 

Nice approach with wedge booties and lululemon leggings.  Only problem i find wearing leggings is often i need to wear compression top to even out the silhouette of the body upper, lower to blend in better. You seem to get away wearing overshirt with leggings might try it myself.  Nice casual look.

I'm a 9 in men's, these are size 11 women's and run snug. The leather is soft and pliable so they conform well. The length of the shoe is perfect,  the snugness is the width. Very surprised how my toes were comfortable anyway. Don't think they go larger than these, and most styles probably don't go as big as these.

Your probably right i'm 9.5 mens so 11.5 might fit me in most heels yet width might be snug pinching my toes red. While buying size 12 in heel pumps found them to big at least cm to long. Depends on the designer and fit some come half size smaller like Jimmy Choo's 11 is really 10.5 womens Giuseppe Zanotti booties i own are very narrow and short for 11 or euro 41. 

Wish someone with experience with heel wearing and purchases would post a designer pump heel shoe flowchart in direct comparison to men's sizing.

Size 11, but really not bad. They stretched to conform to my feet quickly. 

What size do you take in men's shoes that a 11 or translates to a euro 41 casadei heels to fit well?

Twenty years from now we might all be wearing sarongs or dressing like the Jetsons - anything is possible. Nevertheless I would say nail polish for men is most unlikely to be widely seen or accepted any time in the foreseeable future. What are the drivers for change? Why would nail polish for men be widely adopted or become fashionable? What is going to make it popular? Fashionable? How? And why?

Think about it. What would be the percentage right now of men in the population who paint their nails? A tiny, tiny, tiny fraction of one percent - maybe. I travel all over the world and I have never personally met or seen one. Even if you doubled that, thereby allowing yourself to claim a 100% jump in the number of men who paint their nails, you would still be left with a tiny, tiny, fraction of one percent of the population.  

It's not always a style or trend makes someone want to paint their nails.  Think it's the shoe your wearing such as peep toe sandal-wedge, flats, heels woman wear as the weather becomes warmer, exposing their feet. Women tend to want to look their best and find it cute to accent their toenails just like tying ribbon around there hair. We all tend to stare at ourselves especially our feet either enjoying what we see or try to improve on what we may find more fun. Bet woman paint toenails less in winter months only because they cover them in footwear not looking at them. When spring, summer months arrive they begin to get pedicures at salons making their feet prettier, softer from bunions, calluses, dryness  ready to wear there open toe sandal, peep toe heels etc..  

If men want to wear same exact open style footwear as woman in warmer months they need to maintain their feet a little better. Get rid of dead dried chapped skin, and yes pedicure there toenails. Doesn't mean they need to paint them but while there grooming themselves then why not paint them and try various colours doing it. Only thing i can say is men who have time on there hands grooming, may paint their toenails and very few people would notice if they wear covered footwear.  Always give similar analogy how many men wear thong underwear. We only can take sales reports of thongs and the market for such niche group. Yet no one really knows because men can buy female thongs and sales statistics only assume it's worn for a woman same as heels or any other piece of clothing, scarf, hat, socks, hoisery etc...

Now for the topic at hand woman or stores selling heels market specialty shoes for occasions.  For example a stiletto pump court platform shoe is often considered a type of shoe for a prom, office, wedding heel, rather then casual shoe to be going to the mall. Anyone wearing such heels will look odd and yes labeled as overdressed she is walking along doing everyday activities.

People are herded into a style that best suits occasions or type.  Maybe a marketing ploy  developed to make woman buy many shoes for specific outing. Or it could be just following a trend that vast majority of  woman agree on. So when woman is out to a baseball game she may wear a strappy open toe heel or wedge with casual outfit. If she dared to be bold wearing office outfit skirt jacket and heel court pumps it may look way to formal  or dressy and be observed as out of sorts, people grinning, smirking, snarky comments made upon her, "thinks she's at church or going to a wedding" etc..

Nobody wants to be criticized or mocked especially woman on there outfits. So they wear what others are in the surrounding they are spending some hours in. Often i observe woman knowing they want to look sexy, using there heels they never worn for long time for that occasional night out, dressed semi-casual yet feel awkward or uncomfortable wearing poor ill fitting heels. Seeing them taking their heels off there feet as they sit or comments made their feet hurt red in getting blisters or pain in some uncomfortable dressy footwear. 

Although do understand the desire wearing specific heels yet i'm aware that the shoes might be to much or over dressed for that outing. Only when i see woman wearing some heels it becomes more comfortable in the outing . Yet when i do see a single woman wearing her heels in face of many who don't, she often has a smile on her face loving the way she is outfitted. Or that she sees people staring at her or me for that matter, thinking to herself that guy is checking me out, woe!  Little does she know i'm checking out her heels or outfit approving of the appearance wishing more woman would wear. Yet many women don't care what people think of them in there casual outfits thus uggs are worn or flat sneakers. They believe i got heels at home don't need to kill my feet wearing in the mall shopping or walking around.  Or there black legging outfit they have on finding it all to comfortable and blends in with every woman around. Funny how most women are shopping for something unique that nobody wears. Yet they attire themselves exactly the same on casual outing or yoga class don't know which is it anymore.Something has to be said of a well dressed person walking in well lit public place such as a mall. While many do the opposite dress-up in darkly lit evening night club where few select people may even notice a colour let alone texture or your shoes.

Here is My try at it in 5 inch stilletos. 

The aussie being gay and shunned by the community is amusing. Replies to him asking, "Why are you wearing heels? "that's disgusting your a man." While hetero guys like myself and others on the forum have difficult time being accepted wearing heels or feminine clothes. Having a  prejudice to get passed people's perceptions and stereotypes exists using labels onto me.

This news video of him wearing heels to the office while announcing to his superiors as he will wearing heels not for approval but a statement was smart. We know people don't like something will lie and say no way dress wearing your loafers.  Suppose his co-workers or boss wouldn't hire him if they known his high heeling style would be brought to the office.  Yet dismissing his job or duties maybe not to far around the corner. Let's face it clever people hate some co-workers for whatever reason often superiors will find a way to vacate  his job and push them out one way or another.

Jobs are to obey superiors and be a team player and if you go on your own path or beat of your own drum in his case heels, different from the norm, then he is no longer has value to the company or workplace. 

See how long he will last before the boss and employees get fed up and make him no longer valuable asset to keep.  Walking on eggshells superiors need excuse around his heeling desires to banish him for good. Would not surprise me if we hear from him again about a lawsuit towards his employers after they dispose of his job. 

Wonder if there will be dress code implemented at his workplace stating gender specific attire must be required to be worn by employees. Until they make a high heel court shoe labeling it men's shoe from specific brand rather him picking them up in the ladies section you can't wear them heels anymore. Hope i'm wrong but doubt he will survive the prejudice people have in the workplace. We all know boss will befriend him stating his compliment before he stabs him the back and gets rid of him. The poor aussie will feel that his job was eliminated not because his boss dislikes his heels but simple business move.  Only way to wear heels in office is advance yourself to be the boss and even then board members might vote you out because your detrimental to the image of the company is trying to have. 

Only place i can think of you can wear heels is own your private company or work for italian designer shoe company such as Stuart Weitzman then again if the owner dislikes your wearing heels because his customers woman are appalled or disgusted then he will make you accountable losing business.  Funny because Weitzman made an advertisement degrading women. While i heard woman owning his heels threw them in the trash vowing never to own his pair ever again.  Sexism and labels will always exist but bottom line do your job brilliantly then you have value and stay off the radar and you keep working and making an income.

The two booties above - I would wear the 2nd - the pointier to and the nappa leather is much classier - and will wear and keep better so is also the practical choice.

 

Thanks although i already own round toe black leather bootie Rag & bone harrows and in sand suede. Agree suede is terrible to look after rarely wear them because worried about the weather if it's going to rain or already wet streets outside etc.. 

The Pure booties i love them but at $700+ taxes price tag compared to 500 for the suede or just keep wearing my older tight ill fitting booties. Or buy a great 4" pump stiletto with smooth heel but suede black fabric which will make my outings very much overdressed but right price at $100 who cares if they ruin quickly.

Thanks for the feedback.

As for legs looking longer in booties or heels find my harrow booties are extension to my legs without making me appear stout. Helps when wearing ultra skinny jeans and i'm not covering my hips with a long top. Enjoy when i pass by mirror seeing my reflection, wow factor  bringing smile to my face  at how lean and contoured my silhouette appears. 

Always wondered what shoe or heel would look phoney or overdressed with particular outfit or surrounding your in.

Read reviews of heels seeing if there any good often i come across specific statement woman leave. There afraid or find certain heels look to dressy for certain location. Such as they prefer a nicer outfit for the office before they wear them, or night out with the girls. Never considering wearing elegant heels to the grocery store or doing errands. In fact when i observe other woman it's true fact they rather wear a low chunky bootie for everyday walking around often seen sneakers flats etc...

Have two pairs of bootie crescent heels to choose from. One bootie suede constructed with heel three inches other in soft leather almost four inches of the heel. By looking at them in the store i found the Lofty shorter heel, suede constructed bootie bit more casual for everyday wearing. While the other called pure bootie higher heel leather constructed bootie little more polished and elegant both pointed toe styles.

So mindset of wearing stiletto heels needle style. Find black napa leather looks more casual then a patent leather which appears dressy. Sometimes compromise needs to be done going for suede fabric which appears casual. Then the outfit screams overkill pairing it with jeans. So a sandal heel dresses the outfit down makes it look better.

Do know either bootie would be fine for everyday wear. Suede bootie has rubber synthetic sole for better wearability, while the pure booties with napa leather has leathered smooth sole very elegant. Comes to my mind that higher heel napa leather bootie is to nice for, wear and tear for everyday use, only special occasions. Anyone have that mindset as me? Shoes are too nice to be wearing everyday use. Thus we call it dressy rather casual. 

Sometimes feel the shoes or heel goes out of style or trend before you get enough uses for the money paid. Sort of my shoes look new but should of worn them more often before buying the newest or latest trend. Anyone get what i'm saying. 

If they look good wear them to do errands or whatever but get most use out of it before you go out buying something newer or better.

Comfortable blade heels wow, what size are you wearing? Only heard there pain to wear yet look amazing. 

Agree with all here. Best to dress as your personal style dictates everyone fashion is different.  There is ways to wear outfits and trends and not appear awkward only takes experience.

When observing at times shopping  an older lady very well dressed, like she was going to a wedding, in light cream colours. Everyone shopping heads turned seeing her enter the shoe store at the mall. Most customers were casually dressed only sales ladies had similar outfits yet not in same manner as the older well dressed woman. I could tell from observing everyones reactions of the well dressed woman was of envy by many woman. Without a doubt the sales ladies would of complimented her with the outfit how well dressed she was if she bought something. Although the customers may have felt she was overdressed just to be shopping in the mall.  Only some may of thought she came from work maybe real estate agent or off to wedding etc...

Just observation some women have is fear being overdressed. Specifically i see it with asian young ladies. Often then not asian single females when out and about, feel the need to wear short heel pumps when out with friends. This often seen as awkward  no matter the location observing there lack of confidence. For example at my workplace seen these guests, one in particular stood out young attractive asian female standing in line with others her age. Many females were casually dressed no heels just denim jeans and low flat footwear for the most part. While i stared upon the asian female in her pink chiffon flowing low cut dress and nude pantyhose with amazing Stuart Weitzman crescent high  heel suede pumps i like  i so much was jealous of.  As i stared upon her more i could tell she noticed my reaction to her beautiful heels yet she may have misinterpreted staring down at them feeling insecure. 

She became bit unnerved maybe thought being way to overdressed for the occasion and venue and others in the lineup. Yet if she appeared more confident in the outfit and proud of the heels there would be no way others thinking of being overdressed would enter anyone's mind. Although her dress looked more appropriate for a wedding then the benign ceremony at work. Although think she had advice from her parents or mom that she should dress-up. Often through inexperience of locations and venues or the crowd asian young woman don't have outfits that suit  all occasion.  Sometimes outfit can appear to formal like her short cute dress but not at all suitable for the occasion. Something has to to be said about semi casual outfits ot comfortable yet dressy. Only takes experiences to figure out what works or often makes someone uncomfortable in.

Yer it took about 10 days to make then be shipped, then 20 odd days for shipping. 

Let’s see if I can answer all ur qs...

1) yes there is no padding like my other heels, they are just the smooth synthetic material and the heel tip is hard plastic.

2) I think a rubber or leather sole might have been softer on the footpad but I’ll get over it  haha 

3)The suede is of good quality with little to no discolouring/fading/defluffing/ ect 

4) the suede was the default option as I just bought size 13 then asked them to adjust the length afterwards.

5) Yer they are nice and black so can’t comment on other colours but the gold is nice and bright, reflective and not dull. 

6) once the order was made (closest size) I sent an email to the support team with the order number and requested the size change. As it was only a few mm I’m not 100% sure if they actually did it or not ...

7) not sure on changing the heels over but worth a email to them as they seem to make them rather then off a rack. 

I will def be asking for padding (if possible) for my other shoes. As this was my first order I still have yet to explore all th options and finer details. 

Just send them an email (they are fairly quick to reply) asking them any and all qs before or during the order(s) 

My new booties arrived from  FSJ after the delivery error to another home nearby got it next day from friendly neighbour. As i wrote before didn't have high hopes if the booties would look genuine. After opening the damaged box i noticed instantly they were not suede fabric, but cheap synthetic curled upper fabric. In my opinion only shoes that ought to be synthetic are running training sneakers otherwise the shoes look like crap. Didn't want to take a picture at how ugly they appear. Feel so bad paying for something that appeared so nice but the reality they stink truly the glue fumes are horrible. 

Booties on there website were described as suede thought the leather upgrade wasn't necessary. Nonetheless glad i didn't pay extra losing about $100 is enough to learn valuable lesson. Don't buy cheap imitations. Now i'm in the hole for $200 from booties and heels i tried to buy but never worked out and another $500  from designer ones that are to small. 

FSJ shoes aren't all that great in my experience so i will never buy any other considering the problems others are having in heels breaking off blisters on the back foot. No thanks.

If it include such things as leggings and yoga pants, I would be interested.

Agreed even running tights.

If it laces up and comes in smooth or patent leather, I must make it mine!!

Looking better in these then mine. So tight fitting for me had to return them.

I splurged a little bit on my birthday last year. And purchased a pair of preowned Christian Louboutin So Kates in size 42.  The toe box is unbelievably tight, but it's better after a year. I can walk in them, but I'm not that stable. Eventually, I'll buy a new pair from the CL Boutique.. and pair of Jimmy Choo Anouks, too (budget allowing).

Great looking and taste in heels. Jimmy's Anouk are also in my wishlist. What size are you that 42 fits you in CL? Almost anyone wearing them feels the toe box very small.

Complaint was about FSJ they wrote never  having problems with blisters with other heels they owned. Also the side of the foot the material doesn’t fit completely around the arch. You get lot of exposure on toe cleavage as the inner side of the foot. 

Again not sure about FSJ they say they make them custom but they resemble a lot like other cheap Chinese brands sold.
