Those are nice boots. The heel is thin and very high ( I think there is a platform but not sure ) Does the heel tends to wabble or is it solid ?

my blocks

Very nice. Well done !

Nice shoes everyone ! Here is my latest purchase from Spring Shoes. I could not resist the big chucky heel...It is different. Heel height 4¼" measured at the back. No plattform. They are very light and comfortable to wear.

These are the last 3 pairs that i bought, all fit very well.

I like the wedge sneaker (snedge) very much. Want to know why ? I have exactly the same !

Bought them from "Le Chateau". Also have them in beige. Very comfy and stylish. Well done !

Just bought these but I don't know how I will wear them yet...

I concur with SleekHeels about the skinny jeans. It would be a very nice look.

Except I would wear them flap up with black jeggings. (Oh la-la !)

BTW, I like the advice in your avatar. Unfortunately, it is already too late for most of us here !

Happy heeling all !

Just got these from Bebe. The style is Ivy. It has a 6-1/2" Heel and a 1-1/2" Platform giving me a 5" rise for my size 10. Very comfortable and easy to walk in.

Same pattern on your trouser and shoes. Perfect match. Well done !

Just bought these very nice high heel loafers from Nine West. Model name is Chasey. Heel is 4-1/2" high measured at the back with a 1/4" hidden platform. Have been searching for a very long time for shoes in this style that fits me. Other I found until now were always too small. These in size US10 are perfect. Very comfortable and fun to wear. Guess what I will wear tomorrow :-)

Bought my first pair of Mary Jane pumps today from Nine West. Model name is LIL. To my surprise, NIne West size 10 fit perfectly (I normally wear size 11 from other stores) Heel height is 4-3/8" measured at the back. No plattform. They are VERY comfortable to wear. I like the strap which hold the shoe in place. I love them ! Now I found a store where I could buy any style of closed shoes in size 10 ! Only problem is this situation won't be good for my bank account... Congrats to all who bought new shoes lately. They all look nice ! JeffB > Nice flats. I never thought you would wear this style. Well done !

...I'm deathly afraid of trying on shoes in public in general, but more so if they are women's...

...I know most women won't mind (and this close to Halloween...

...I always think that women think I'm shopping for my wife or girlfriend (I should be so lucky)...

There is no reason to be afraid to try women's shoes in the store.

Do it a few times and you will soon realize it is no big deal and quite a lot of fun too !

No need to pretend it is for halloween. The sales girl already know these shoes are for you.

Try to deal with a younger sales girl. They are usually more open minded.

A sale is a sale. They are only shoes after all !

Be careful if you click on the "www.barefeetshoes.com" external link on HappyinHeels's post above. If you do so, you may be stuck in a loop always going back to the Barefeetshoes website...

Greetings everyone :-) Just bought these wedge sandals today from Aldo. The model name is "Morikawa". Was passing in front of the store and I saw them on display (And on sale) I was going to ask for my size but guess what ? They were my size 41 ! Asked the friendly salesgirl for the other one. I tried them immediatly. Sold ! The heel is 4.25". Platform is 1". They are a perfect fit for my wider feet. I can't believe how comfortable they are to walk in. They are amazing. I like the fact I can feel the heel height. They are really fun to wear. Those with wider feet who like this style, go ahead and give them a try them ! Wearing them now as I type this message. Guess what I will wear this week-end... Happy heeling all !

Mr. X :-) Thank you for the detailed report about your new shoes. I admit that I envy you wearing Aldo size 10 shoes ! I noticed that you wrote "Greetings to you too fellow canucker" Are you refering to the Vancouver Canucks hockey team ? If so, note that I am from the Montreal area, so I'm a Montreal Canadian fan... Maybe next time, you could wrote "Greetings to you too fellow Canadian" instead ? LOL ! Your reply did help a lot. Happy heeling !

Here is my latest purchase. The brand is Guess....

A nice buy. I like them.

It is very hard for me to find a classic pump which is large enough at the toe box.

Can you tell me how they fit in the toe box ? Narrow, average or wider than usual ?

I never tried any shoes from Winner yet since they carry only up to size 10 (I wear 11).

Are they true to size ? I will give it a try. Maybe I will find a size 10 which is made larger...

Greetings fumikaheels :-)

I must say your new pumps are VERY nice.

Most closed toe pumps from Aldo are too narrow for me. Lucky you !

But I think I will try them anyway. Just in case they are made wider than usual.

Unfortunately, the Aldo "Elfrink" shoes are not available here in Canada.

Hoping they will have a similar pair on their fall collection.

Will keep looking...

Hello to all! I just received these beauties in the mail...

I must say your new pumps are VERY nice.

Most closed toe pumps from Aldo are too narrow for me. Lucky you !

But I think I will try them anyway. Just in case they are made wider than usual.

...However, once I got home and put them on and started walking in them, the hidden platform keeps the sole from bending at all, and the back of the shoe will not stay on my foot...

Nice shoes but I think they are too large for your feet.

Looking at your pictures, I clearly see a gap between the back of the shoe and your heel.

No wonder why they don't stay on your foot.

Next time, I suggest you try a smaller size so there is no gap.

You may also ask for nylon socks in the store before putting them on.

Most of the time and now more than before, specially when I am at work. When I'm standing up, I look down at my shoes to see how nice they look. I did not do this before. Wondering why...

Greetings JeffB :-)

It has been a while since I followed your thread. (The server unsubscribed me )

I must say I was very impressed with your latest jaunts.

Specially # 150, wearing a dress. You are pushing the envelope indeed !

I like your flat shoes. I also have a few flats shoes and I enjoy wearing them.

Quite different from high heels but still fun to wear.

Now I cannot imagine what you will wear for your 200 th jaunt !

Well done !

Tell us more about them!

Greetings Steve & JeffB :-)

They are from Spring Shoes. Model name is Miulana (In the USA, the store name is "Call it Spring")

I don't see them on their US website. Follow this link for the Canadian website.

Still available in sizes EU40 & EU41.

At last ! Finally found a classic pump which is wide enough at the toe box. A perfect fit and very comfortable. Looks like they were made for me

Sorry if I cannot help you here since I prefer the look of skirts with heels or shorts with flats. Maybe it would best to let your wife decide what she like to wear or not to wear ? ( Would you like it if your wife was telling you what you should wear ? Guess not... )

PS- I'm stumped on how to upload a photo, I don't see a paperclip.

How do I upload attachments now on this new format??

I saw a nice pair on Aldo's website yesterday. Went to the store today to order them but they had them stock in my size I could not believe it. Guess what happened next ...

Try Bakers they in my opinion are one of the last true shoe stores and are very helpful and

i recommend them highly and i love the fact the Bakers girls have to wear Bakers shoes to work in.

Don't hesitate to write a positive comment on Baker's website about your positive shopping experience at their store.

Also mention the salesgirl name if possible. She will be more than happy to receive a thank you message from her manager.
