I have seen something very very similar to this somewhere in the UK in the last couple of months ..... trying to remember where (Faith?).

Wow. A shop near here has just got those metal heel boots instock. Seen in the window. Must go in when they are open...

Yum! I want a pair of their chichy pumps or the pointy toe version that Gwen stefani often wears; and with the 5inch heel of course.

The description says 7 inch heel and 4 inch platform, but when you look at the image, the platform is only one-third the height of the heel....

Posting it here will have it indexed by spammers within days. Encode it or something to stop that happening.

Hmmm, just found this: http://www.femalefirst.co.uk/board/about12380-0-asc-195.html

Interesting.

Hrrmmpphh!!

The pointy wars link no longer seems to work.

Anyone got a new URL for that one?

... and the link to the story, or website, is... ?

Can someone please fix the thread stretch?

URL in this format: this short link text here will do it.

Fantastic! I want! (but can't afford)

Get well soon !!

A bloody shame that no backups were kept. I came back to the forum after 5 weeks away to find it offline. When it came back online many thousands of posts had been lost and hundreds of new members ceased to exist. All my PMs were gone too. I really hope someone is backing things up regularly now. This site runs on its content. The content is priceless. Leaving it vulnerable to deletion seems insane.

She does have some pages with ballet boot pictures. I am having trouble finding them again, though.

How did it go? I wanted to get to that, and I was in London last week and this week, but had to be back home at the Weekend. Darn.

What happened to the backups that the site owners were taking (I don't mean the ISP, I mean the forum Admins)?

After "the virus" and "the hack" and "the random corruption" problems earlier in the year, I really believed that someone would be taking a daily or weekly backup in case of further problems.... You didn't? I am speechless......

The red-sole court shoes that Gwen wears are by Christian Louboutin. They have pointy-toe, with slim set-back 5 inch heel. They are a 2004 model. I don't know the model/style name. The 2005 version has a rounded toe, the same heel, and is available with either a 4 or 5 inch heel. The model name is "Clichy" and they cost USD ~495.

There's an "ugly shoe" thread over at thefashiospot.com in the shoes, shoes, shoes forum.

Worth a look too.

In one post he hinted that he wears that sort of stuff at work, and that work was maybe something in the fashion industry, and that he interacts with "customers". Could mean a shop or boutique? Another post mentioned going to a party in that attire.

Did you scroll right down to the very bottom of the target page? There is a big empty box at the top of the page, then an advert, then the image you want is below that. Had me fooled for a while too.

I looked into a branch of Faith soon after Christmas, or early in the New Year. There were about 5 or 6 customers in the store as I went in, and a couple more followed me in. I had hoped to try a few things, and was hoping it would stay quiet. I looked round and another group were already coming in the door. I looked at one rack then realised that the shop was more crowded. Within another 3 minutes there were forty-bloody-eight people in the shop, and it was nose to nose. Not a hope of trying anything on in peace, in a quiet corner; so I left. Maybe another day.

One of the staff in that shop has those same boots, above, wears them to work sometimes, and looks very fine in them.

You need to chop this part off the end of the published link:

to make it work. It should be:

Nigel, If you tell the staff what you need, they can contact other stores, or get someone to look up on the computer which branch has them in stock... same for many other stores too. Saves a lot of travelling.

Another trick is to use a large mirror when taking the image. No arms length or timers required. The mirror needs to be very clean though.
