Hi,

Yes, I'm from dorset..

Funnily enough, after the success of the boot experiment I've already ordered a high heel version..

Hi everyone.. Thought I'd share with you all my recent and first experience with shoe stretchers.. After taking a gamble on yet another pair of boots off Ebay, I unfortunately found myself in possession of a gorgeous pair of boots ( photos included) which although were a perfect fit around the calfs and a perfect height were tragically, painfully too tight... I half expected this as the particular brand are infuriatingly inconsistent fron one year to the next.. However, although when this has happened before I usually just relist them, this time I thought I'd try a cheap set of expanders ( photo also included).. I got some for about £15 or so.. To be honest I really wasn't expecting much but after a week of using them, gradually increasing the stretch on a daily basis, I was overjoyed at how much of a difference they made... The boot material is a faux leather so it will be interesting to see if they work as well on real leather, but for the moment I am more than happy at how things have turned out..

Anyway, just thought I'd share with you all in case anyone has ever thought of giving them a go... Oh, and I promise you all, I'm not  on commission from the manufacturers..!!!

You look great.. Easily passable.. Well done you..!!

Hi..

These are awesome..

Any idea how much postage to the UK would be???

Cheers

Hi there Dave..

Welcome to the site...

Have you tried smaller size women's shoes at all.. I say this because if I get men's shoes I'm at least a size 11 but because of the shape of my feet - basically they kind of taper back from the big toe...I'm sure you really wanted to know that !!! - I can comfortably get into size 9 heels.. The more pointed nature of women's shoes seems to help a lot...that coupled with a wide fit option and you could be surprised at what sizes you can get away with.. Failing that Ebay is always a good place to get larger sizes..either pre-owned or new from China who always seem to offer large sizes quite cheaply.. I know you take a chance on quality but the ones I've got over the years have been good enough for the price...you do have to remember though that there will be a customs sticker on the outside stating what's in the parcel..!! Hope that helps

Steve

Not quite in Costa in boots.. but in boots with a Costa..!! Gorgeous but cold morning on the South Coast..

Nice look stevieuk7610. Love your white booties with the leggings. I'm also a fan of wearing white. I recently bought a pair of white, chunky heel booties. I normally wear white shoes during the summer but now days it's fashionable to wear white all year long. I paired them up with black, fleece lined leggings with a long length white sweater. Got several compliments on my ensemble.

Happy Heeling,

bluejay

Those fleece lined leggings sound a great idea.. Starting to get a bit chilly over here..

I got these in New Look, a UK fashion store, late last year.. They have fast become my favourites.. Look great with everything and so comfortable...

Yeah that’s a shame, i was there last Wednesday trying on a few different pairs in Selfridges and a few other shops including new look, we’ll have to try and coincide sometime, could have some fun 

Yeh, I'll have to let you know next time I'm about.. I can't help but think that I'd spend the whole time being insanely jealous that there's always shoes in your size...hardly any in size 9/43.. banished to online shopping..!!

Hi..as always, you look great.. I was aimlessly killing over an hour in Birmingham yesterday waiting for a train..not heeled though .. Window(boot) shopped in New Look and Debenhams and battled with myself over just how early is too early to buy a hotdog at the Xmas market..!!  If I had seen you about I would have said Hi..

Hi neighbour.. Greetings from Dorset..

OK.. Better late than never I say.. so here is my entry..!!
