I decided to add a little color to my slides collection and just ordered these. Can't wait to wear them!

Awesome shoes! Very pin-up.

@pebblesf they are amazing. I love m a lot. My gf likes them too. I saw them and I had to have them.

 

They are awesome indeed. I ordered a pair once but found them to be very narrow. The normal Superstar fits me just fine but these didnt.

@gj

Like those Dr. martens! :-) Quite a DM fan myself. 

Nice. And believe me, as long as you act and walk natural, no one will notice.

Those New Look lace up ones are awesome!

That should work out fine, hope they will fit.

New Look sizing varies a little. From a reference point I usually wear EU41,5. From the wide fit collection I fit the ones marked as EU40. With other New Look shoes I usually have EU42 and boots EU42/43. I have quite a few New Look shoes so in general I'm very pleased with them.

@Sydheel

Thank you! The last pair are Atmosphere, the 'house brand' of Primark. Not sure if they are global company.

New Look currently has a pair that is sort of similar. Not exactly the same but alike in style.

@pebblesf

Thank you!

@Sydheel

They are quite expensive here as well. I ordered the at Zalando. Thats a massive webshop with a lot of shoes. They have free shipping and returns so if something doesnt fit they can be easily returned. No such thing available where you are?

I have toyed with the idea of ghe black and white pleaser booties. 

Are they comfy ? How was the sizing ? And width ?

I usually have EU42 shoes. The box says US11M/EU 42 and the fit great. They are fairly wide. I'm thinking of getting the black/black version as well.

@hiheellover23

Thank you!

@hoborob

I've gotten them in Germany at Deichmann and they were cheap. I believe the store is called Rack Room Shoes in the US.

Thank you! They are both by the Pleaser sub-brand Bordello. The red ones are the Bella model, for the other ones I don't remember the model.

Thank you! They are the black spike ones thats why they have the distressed leather. I prefered the smooth shiney leather but those weren't on sale. :-)

Always nice to see the new shoes others are getting! Great inspiration as well.

I've gotten quite a few new ones over the past months but have been too lazy to take pictures. I blame the heat! Here's a selection of my additions. I've gotten quite a few more but that would be a bit much to post.

I'm quite a fan of ankleboots lately. Got the lowest heel pair and the chunky ones are by New Look. The other ones I got at Zalando which are the least comfortable of the three.

Been a while since there where any new adittions to this thread! My Foxies have arrived and found a pair of Lita Spike in a sale as well. Those spikes sure are sharp! But I'm very happy with them. JC's are great! :-)

I think they are selling to the Urban Millenial. The same target market the Buzz Feed article on Men in Heels appealed to.

No doubt this will have little appeal to the Rural Silent Gen, the rural Baby Boomer, or the Rural Gen X population here.

Did anyone here ever hear of Malcolm Gladwell?  He wrote about the Tipping Point (a moment of critical mass, the threshold, the boiling point) at which a paradigm shift occurs.  In the book the Tipping Point, Gladwell references the sale of Hush Puppy shoes.  How Hush Puppies went from being a lame brand sold only to the un-hip to a hugely successful national brand.  Thanks to a handful of downtown New York trendsetters (Urban Millenials at the time).  A group of "opinion makers" started wearing these shoes.  Others saw them and copied the style, with people even driving to out of the way places to stock up on Hush Puppies.  Then a few fashion designers used them on the runway and visibility reached a tipping point.  Hush Puppies experienced a renewal when company insiders were ready to quit.   

 

A bit off discussion, but Buzzfeed is quite awesome in my opinion. Always doing fun stuff and they don't shy away from thinking outside the box. 

Funny that a few replies below the article call #8 perfect. I'm more into the styles shown on #3, 9 and 24.

Not really a fan myself but if I HAD to choose...it would be 4. :-)

I dont see the problem!  I've got about 85 pair at the moment so can't comprehend a collection of that size though. Usually when I get bored with a pair or they don't fit as well as I thought I sell them or give them to my friend. She's gotten about 15 pairs or so over the years. There's a few that I don't wear but can't get rid of for sentimental reasons. 

It's public so theres nothing to hijack. It's fun to read others check it out and like the same things I do.  

Lol, thats my blog  not me in the mentioned picture

This is the one? :

Great example of be who you want to be :-)

I ordered a pair of black "Foxy" today. Can't wait for them to arrive. Hope they fit well and look good. Next on my wishlist is a pair of Lita Spikes. Same they are so expensive! :-)

Thanks for sharing your experience. Love the chunky boots! :-)

Nothing wrong with a platform like that!  Pointy isn't my taste but I get the appeal of them
