Yes WestQuay

I went shopping in Southampton afew weeks ago and found Southampton (WestQuay) a very good place to shop with a huge New look store there. Aldo, Barratts, Faith, and afew others also have shoe shops there. Easy to get to from m27 and is sign posted well. Sales will be on of cause.

Go ahead and do it.

I did send out a pm out but I never got an reply back. I will not be doing so many of these mini heel meets now. I use to do these to get get a change to buy and try on heels in shops but I can do that now in Southampton.

I would say thanks for the comment but my girlfriend is moaning at me now as she can,t go out now as I,m wearing her shoes!

It all depends on what you want to do in London. Site seeing or shopping.

I have admitted "for me" to some sales girls and they don't believe me?

It was a good meet on Wednesday xaphod must try and do it again with some others.

What heel meet. Did I miss something?

Before I joined here I only had 2 pairs of heels and I was not going to buy any more since I could only wear them around the house. Since I,ve joined I have made the effort in doing the heel meets and making friends. I do wear heels when I do these heel meets which is something that I thought I never do. In the last few weeks I have started buying heels from shops near me and trying on in store. Aso I am using the internet less and less now to buy heels. I gone from buying heels that are far to high for me to wear outside since I now want to buy heels to be able to street heel. I,ve gone from buying cheap shoes like Pleaser to shoes from Faith. Limited to what shoe shops I can buy from since I,m a size 9uk. It,s not about the heel height on the shoe but the look,style and how comfortable the shoes fit me now.

Hello and welcome to HHplace. Would love to see your photos

I expect it because you have small feet but then again the last few times I asked for a size 9 they ask if it for the office or evening wear. Did you find any styles you liked? I also went shopping down Southampton today. I,m after a pair of boots or something suitable for sreet heeling. Found nothing suitable for street heeling but found a nice pair of boots but not in a size 9 in Next. Will be going back to Southampton when the sales are on in the new year. Will post something on the real life meetings about this.

Hello and welcome to HHplace. You have small feet for a bloke.

I,ve done it afew times now but not as close to home.

I might be up for it. Could you give us more information please.

You mean me

Yeah was a good afternoon out!

Yes I do. I get muddle up with peoples names from time to time.

Glad to have you here. Tell us more about yourself. How many pairs do you own?

Those 2 links look ok to me.

All we got to do now is find somewhere to stay and see if we can stay just in the one hotel.

Those satin heels are 11cm.

Went shoe shopping on Monday at Portsmouth. The main high street was very busy but the shops were not. First stop Debenhams. Jasper Conran don,t do size 9uk. I didn,t know that, but the sell girl was helpful. Faith also in Debenhams had afew in a size 9uk but not on sale or what I wanted. Sales girl were also very helpful. Same story in the main Faith shoe shop. Had a quick look in next but did not stay in there long. My last stop were New Look. Not being able to find what I wanted, I asked the sales women. She was very helpful and spent about 10 minutes trying to find a pair of size 9uk. I was after a pair of leather courts but in the end a bought a differant pair of courts. Had a good chat with her and she sort of expected me to try them on and I did. Will be going back to this store as not only is there good service but New look are going to start putting shoes out in size order.

When I went shopping yesterday I found a very nice pair of brown leather hidden court shoes by Jasper Conran in a size 8uk for sale at £35 in Debenhems. Which I would of bought had they been a size 9uk. What made it worse there was also the same pair in snake skin design for only £10 also in a size 8uk.

I keep trying to buy a pair of boots or shoes from Aldo but always comes up small for me. There were a pair of boots I wanted to buy about 8 months in Aldo. They fitted me Ok but I could not do the zip up on 1 boot. I wished I bought them and then got a cobbler to stretch them. I not seen a pair like them since.

Been on another shopping trip.

Those outfits work well on you. The denim skirt and the low heels seem to work well on a male.

Got there early as I wanted to try on some skirts on form m&s. Just to get an idea of what size I am, as I wanting To buy a skirt on Ebay. The sale girl was fine about me doing this in the mens changing room. Had a look in Next and that was a complete waste of time. Next never seem to have a size 9uk in stoke. Went into Debenhams. Found a nice pair of hidden platform in a size 8uk from Jasper Conran but were a tight fit. Took me a little while for me to find the sale girl but she was helpful. Would of bought them had they been a size 9uk. By this time HeelsFormen turned up and we had a drink in Costa. We then went into Barratts I tried on a pair of Leather courts but were to tight around the vamp. Sales staff were helpful but one did do a double look when I tried them on! Aldo. The sale bloke was very helpful. He remembered me from last time. Shoes from Aldo aways seems to tight for me. Maybe 1 day I will find a pair thats fit me. Last stop was New look. Did find a pair of court shoes in a size 9uk but were not leather. When I asked the sales guy for a size 9 shoe he came back with four pairs from the stock room. I tried 1 pair on, fitted well, but the straps were not long enough for my wide feet. I didn,t like the others. Heelsformen is a 12uk and and could not try on. I,m going to have to get shops to order shoes up for me to collect in store. Try on a pair of size 8uk as those sizes are always in stock and depending how well they fit order the next size up. It was still early to go back home and we went into Camden. I wore my wedge slingbacks around Camden. Went into most shoes shops but did not try any on. Aldo sale shop is always busy. While the sales staff do their best I only managed to try 1 pair on. I don,t think I be going back to Camden again. Got back to the car and I change into my other heels [Faith] I bought with me and had a little walk around the car park. I wished I wore these around camden as they so comfortable but I didn,t want to damage the heels on the cobble stones street in Camden. Heelsformen did the same in his platform boots. It was a good day out and I did what I wanted to do. I do find Westfield a good place to shop but I think it would of been better to go at the start and not the end of the sales. Will try to go back next year when the sales start again. Will post something on the forum.

I plan to get to Westfield Shopping Centre for 12 noon. Meet at Starbucks for around 12 to 12.30 pm. You have my number. If I,m not at Starbuck I be very near by in a shoe shop. There is 1 other member turning up.
