    These are good shoes. Just for me it is impossible to wear them unfortunately - the heels are really too high. Also had to order next size up.

    Stunningly gorgeous shoes, were a perfect must have for my shoe collection but not the most comfortable shoes in the world...I could have done with going a size bigger, my poor feet were hurting at the end of the night, although they looked amazing!!

    Killer heels but look great!! Not suitable for walking very far in but look great if you're just going a short distance i.e. from the taxi into a restaurant!! I've got the red ones too which are just as stunning!! Only 4.5 stars due to the comfort factor, which is only to be expected when wearing such skyscrapers!!

    I love these shoes! As others have said, they really are something special! I have them in Turquoise & I call them my Barbie shoes as they arch my feet like Barbie's. When I put my feet in to them & stand up I feel like Barbie & they are a very Barbie colour. The high arch makes them feel higher than they are but also supports my feet better than other heels so I can wear them much longer.

    I brought them last summer when they were reduced. I always wanted them in black if they went on sale, but my size has sold out already :-(

    I hope you bring them out again, but can I make some suggestions:

    A half size wider in the toes would be good

    Some padding under the toes & ball of the foot

    Mine are now a little loose at the back & my heel can slip out, so a strap to keep them on would be good. I think a thin (like 5mm wide) T strap & small buckle would suit this style

    But don’t change anything else as they are perfect! I love the toe shape, low cut sides, high arch & skyscraper heel.

    It was the look of these shoes that made me fall in love with them. But because of the heel (higher than any of my others) I thought I wouldn't get much wear from them - How wrong I was!

    Once I mastered the height I found myself wearing them more and more. They are much more comfortable that I first though and more comfy than most of my other heels. They have become a regular work shoe, but have also seen nights out, & a wedding (all day and night and dancing in them). It's rare to find a shoe so stylish but also so wearable.

    Next to the front door I keep three pairs of ''everyday shoes'' - Shoes that will go with anything & are comfortable enough to wear all day, that I can just throw on without thinking as I go out the door. These shoes have become one of those pairs, which is the highest accolade I can give them!

    But now it looks like they are being discontinued! Please, Please, PLEASE Schuh, bring them back!! They are one of the best pairs of shoes you have ever sold!

    Absolutely love this shoe. Very stylish but classic at the same time. Quite a small fit so i'd suggest to order a size above your original shoe size.

    gorgeous shoe, incredibly high. I know I will not be able to walk far in them but for a night out where I am more seated than walking they will be perfect. At the reduced price I could not resist!

    back to top Kaylie Atwater 6/1/2011

    I brought these at full price a couple of months ago, and they have been worth every penny as I wear them nearly everywhere. Now they are on sale you shouldn't hesitate to pick up a pair too. Like others, I would recommend going up a size. The heel is very high, but nothing that a bit of practice won't help you get used to. And once worn in they are actually very comfortable.

    At this price I'm tempted to buy a second pair ready for when these wear out!

    Nina Stiletto 4/12/2010

    I have worn lots of heels over the years, but these really are something special! They are beautifully shaped and seem to be of top quality.

    I just loved the sensation of slipping my feet into them with nylons on. Those shiny red inner soles feel amazing under my feet! They are comfortable from the off and fit perfectly with nylons or barefoot. I ordered a size 8 instead of my normal 7, as I read they were rather tight.

    Those heels are fearsomely high even though they are only around five inches - they feel a good half inch higher. Being up on tippy toes makes me feel confident, very powerful and sexy - more so than with any other stilettos. Girls, believe me, if you try these on you will immediately know what I mean! If you find them a bit hard to walk in, just persevere, it gets easier.

    They come with spare heel tips - neat! I will go for brass or steel tips when they wear out though. Then people will hear me strutting confidently toward them and worship me accordingly!!!

    You can't go wrong with a pair of black patent heels, and these have got to be the ultimate pair! They look stunning and are so versatile that you can wear them with anything. The heel was much higher than I'm used to and I found the toes a bit tight at first, but after a few wears they have stretched and moulded to my feet, and are now the perfect (but snug) fit. Whilst not my most comfortable shoes, they feel so nice on. There is just something about them that I can't quite put my finger on. I just feel so good wearing them.

    LOVE THEM!!

    amanda jane 7/11/2010

    WOW what an amazing pair of shoes, i bought these as i wanted a party heel of skyscraper proportions and boy was i not disappointed, i love the fact that they have no platform - these really do push you right up onto your toes and the feeling of your arch making you stand vertically really does make these shoes so desirable to wear. They are really comfortable to wear all day long and if your like me, all night aswell. They make me feel so sexy and confident when i have them on that i just don't want to take them off, THEY ARE PERFECT. i get lots of attention when i wear them i can't belive a shoe could do this.

    If the Customer Feedback department are reading this please make these in eu42/43! Theyre so tight and really are killers, alot of people have written how tight these are. I have been shopping with Schuh in stores for over 3 years and only now bothered to write this because we're all waiting for our size, or correct size!

    I have them in white and now black, somehow the blacks are bit tighter around the toe area, sky high but easy to walk in.

    Amazing heels, head-turner every time!

    On my toes all day 14/9/2010

    The shop I work in gave us all £50 to buy some smart plain black court shoes to match our new uniforms. Four of us decided to try & find some heels sexy enough to also wear out (& that our frumpy Supervisor would disapprove of!) I think we all knew these would be too high for 8 hours on our feet, but we just egged each other on!

    Of course our Supervisor said they were too high, but the Store Manager said OK, if we can manage them.

    They ARE punishing when on my feet for 8 hour shifts day after day but we can’t admit that our Supervisor was right, so I’ve learned to accept what they do to my poor feet & how best to cope – as it hurts when I take them off & try to put my feet flat I just keep them on til I go to bed now.

    BUT we look fantastic & get loads of complements & admiring looks! Men fall at our feet & will do anything for us! Nights out, after all day at work in them can be agony, yet so much fun!

    I both love & hate them, but I would choose them again without hesitation! :-)

    Lovely shoe, but they are really narrow at the front. I am a size 7 and i could not even get the front of my foot into the shoe. i then tried an 8 which did fit, but it was too painful still due to the narrowness. I was very disappointed as i liked them a lot. Great price! If you have narrow feet, go for it. Broad feet, stay away!

    This is a seriously sexy shoe.

    Only thing that let me down was that I was sent a 41 which in some shops is an 8 but I wanted a 42 which I have also been told is an 8. Perhaps we should be ordering in European sizes.

    Helen Walker 15/7/2010

    Sky high killer heels is not a wrong description. Loved the style of this classic court and had to have a pair. Couldn't find size 8 in shops, but got a pair from Schuh on Ebay and they don't disappoint. The heel is nice and thin, watch the pavement cracks then, and it is high and I mean high, really high and for someone who wears 4 1/4 all day these will take a bit of getting use to. At size 8 they measure 13cm 5 and will certainly get some stares. Cant wait to hit the streets and a club or 2 for some dancing in these. A must for any high heel lover

    OMG such pretty shoes! Unbelievably sexy and also extremely elegant! I have other shoes that have 5" heels but for some reason, these feel higher and like other girls have said, they make your feet pretty much vertical! Yes, they will take a little getting used to but believe you me, they are WELL worth it for the sheer excitement of having to walk around on absolute tippy-toes! :unsure: The quality is fantastic and the fit is perfect and they are surprisingly comfortable for such high heels. For those girls who don't like toe cleavage, look away now...these shoes do show tremendously sexy toe cleavage which for me just adds to their appeal even more! One thing I have to point out, the soles are flawlessly smooth & very shiny which makes them very very slippy to walk in but I find this a major plus point as it makes walking in such high heels a little easier when you can slide forward a little, and also as they slip on the floor they make my walk look even sexier! GO GET THEM GIRLS!!! xx

    Emma ! 11/5/2010

    On my!! How sexy are these shoes!!!! They strictly force my feet up in a steep arch that is totally unforgiving yet feels so good! I feel so incredibly hot and sexy wearing these shoes! They make me very aware of the sensations in my feet, my ankles, the balls of my feet, my calves, my poor toes, the way my arches constantly ache somehow all feels so sensual and enjoyable. This wicked mixture of discomfort and pleasure is highly addictive and makes me want to wear them more!

    With them on, I look so elegant but feel so naughty and depraved!! D

    I'm a bit overcome by it all really. I never thought a pair of shoes could have such an effect on me! WOW!

    These shoes make me look and feel fantastic. The 12cm stiletto heels make me look taller than I really am. I was a little concerned after reading other reviews that the shoes might be too small and that they would have to be returned. However when my size 3's arrived they fitted perfectly - not too tight and not too loose - just fine!

    These shoes aren't about ''Look how gorgeous my shoes are'' (I have some Irregular Choice shoes that get lots of compliments) - they are about ''Look how gorgeous I AM'' (I get the compliments!)

    The heel height forces you to stand tall and walk with confidence. There's no other way to wear them.

    The best shoes I have ever brought! Too good to save for Evening wear only!

    Lovely shoes, perfect height for a night out! only fault really was that they were slightly too big! i ordered a size 3 and if anything my shoes are usually abit tight so i was suprised to find that they were big! Still able to wear them though and the stiletto really compliments your legs. Thanks schuh !

    These have got to be the perfect shoe! Perfectly proportioned, perfect heel and perfect toe shape! They look great with anything, from jeans to a LBD. It took a bit of time to get used to the heel height, but comfy now. Every girl should have a pair in their wardrobe! :-)

    I would also like them in white now the summer is coming.

    Beautiful and so much fun to wear!

    An update to my review on 5/2/2010:

    I recklessly brought these as work shoes!

    Wearing them is an incredible experience! Going about my busy day with my feet vertical & my ankles bent to their limit is very demanding but feels amazing. Just standing at the bus stop is tough! At first 2hrs was too much, but now after 3wks I can endure 2 whole days in a row before I need a day in my old work heels to recover.

    But they are SO WORTH IT (times 10)!! The feeling of being up so high on tip toe all the time is totally exhilarating, one that I will never get used to (in a good way). All day I feel so confident, powerful and sexy!

    I so want to wear them everyday, but keep wimping out back to my old work heels. So today I threw away my old work shoes & these are now my only suitable work shoes. I feel apprehensive but excited that I now have no choice but to wear these all week. I can't go back even if I want to! :-?

    That's how much I love them! The most amazing shoes I've ever had on my feet!

    110% attention-getters. I needed loads and loads of practise round the house before actually venturing outside in these. They are SO high! I mean really HIGH!!!! Once you've mastered the height, and worked out how to cope with hills and steps, then there's the discomfort to contend with - they're not the worst shoes I've worn, as they fit quite well, but DO hurt your toes and ball of the foot within an hour of wearing them, if any walking or standing is involved. Lying down would be easy - that might be what they're designed for :-)

    Plan in advance - you need to know how far you're walking before putting them on. You will NOT catch a bus in these shoes. Team with just-above-the-knee length skirt and 10 denier tights, and you have a winner!

    A challenge!

    If you love high heels, you owe it to yourself to try these!!!

    Dont be put off by how high they feel when you first try them as they get easier the more you wear them. They make my feet ache but arent painful. They do take a lot of effort to wear but anything worthwhile takes effort. And they are soooo worth the effort!!

    The full 5 inch heel with no platform feels out of this world!! They make my legs look stunning. Ive worn them alone in public a lot now and only had positive attention. I agree with mandy below about how they make you feel. Sexy and powerful, yet kind of helpless in a wonderfully feminine way at the same time. An afternoon at Blue Water in them was tiring on my legs (ankles and calves) but they support the arch of my feet really well, are quite comfortable in their own way and feel so nice on my feet.

    You may need to size up, but be careful, the toes need to be snug to prevent your feet sliding down in to the pointy toe as you walk (Ouch!).

    LOVE, LOVE, LOVE THEM!!

    These shoes are gorgeous! I had been looking for a pair of high patent courts for ages and these definitely tick all the boxes. I particularly love the shape and height of the heel, it really compliments the styling of the shoe. These were just what I was looking for I’ve not found shoes this lovely in a long while. They are a joy to wear, really comfortable! I think I need to go and buy the red ones now!

    These are my highest heels by a mile. Saw them, tried them on and bought all within 10 minutes - quickest decision ever. Probably the slutty side of classy, but you only live once.

    Don't ever ever wear these to work, unless you have a chauffaur! I did (once) and was sent on an errand, down a cobbled street - nearly killed me. You will be stalked, followed, and whistled at wearing these alone in public, and I'm probably on youtube now nearly breaking my neck. Other women just look envious, their partners eyes out on stalks.

    Evening wear only - eiether from restaurant to taxi or lounge to bedroom only - not for walking, just for looking sexy in. Stockings essential.

    Stunning. Red available too!

    mandy . 15/2/2010

    ridiculously high but feel so good, force your feet to a really steep angle so youre really on tiptoes in the shoes - 5" heel is higher than some of my plats. impossible to walk at normal speed, you just have to slow down and wiggle - you wont get anywhere fast in these, and downhill gradients are impossible. the only shoes i have that make me feel both dominant and almost completely helpless at the same time. shoes look fantastic, make your legs appear superlong, perfect with a skirt and stockings or that special lbd. decent quality, bought one size up as they are tight on the toes as your foot is putting too much pressure on them. they would be torture to wear all day, but worth the pain for a special night out - short distances only!. buy some!

    Jodie Stewart 5/2/2010

    When I first slipped my feet in to these, the feeling was incredible! The shape forces you way up on tip toe, higher than my feet have ever been before. It was quite a rush!! And they made my legs look amazing too. But I really needed some heels for all day at work (on my feet about 50% of the time). Everything I tried after was an anticlimax so I came home empty handed.

    Now I can't stop thinking about how they felt and I keep looking at them here. Could I wear a heel this high all day, every day? I know the're far too high, and I know I'll end getting them and wearing them for work anyway! :)

    wow an amazing pair of heels! these shoes make me feel sooo sexy when i have them on. they do take a bit of getting used to walk in as they are so high but it is worth it, they definitely turn heads, they are quite comfortable - for killer heels - and have good arch support and padded insole.

    The classic patent court shoe at it's best. I look a million dollars in these and they look great in the office or on a night out.

    They are high - very high - and will take a bit of practice to get used to, even if you are used to heels. But they have good arch support and some padding and are actually comfortable once you get used to the height. They also make my feet look very small (even after going up a size).

    Very sexy whilst still looking classy and sophisticated. Definitely worth the effort of mastering them.

    These shoes are amazing, I love them! They are quite a small size so they squeeze my toes, but feel so great. The shape of the shoe really pushes you up onto the balls of your feet and toes. They do hurt, but are so worth it!

    Unfortunatley the size 3 i orderded was a bit on the small side so i would advise a size up.

    soles were also shiny so therefor too slippy.

    was sad i had to return them for these reasons.

    Service was brilliant though.

    They also previously had them in Turquoise and Nude. As these were being discontinued and the reviews would have been lost forever, I did save them some were. If I can find them, I'll add them to this thread.

    I've found the reviews that I saved and will post them below.

    I'll also cut and past the reviews of the newer colours from the above links (which are currently still working)so that they are saved for perpetually.

  3. My wife and I went out shopping for new furniture and a few other things last week. While backing the car out of the garage she asked me to stop so she could change her shoes. Her new shoes arrived the night before and she wanted to break them in before wearing them to work.

    I snapped a few quick shots on my phone.

    Stunning shoes! Nice pointy toes, nice bit of toe cleavage and wonderfully thin (and high) heels. Your wife looks great in them.

    Where are they from? Can you provide a link?

  4. Loverly boots Pata. I like the whole look you have put together in the first pic. Was this just for the photo shoot or would you where this as an everyday look? I also notice that in the first picture you are walking down a slope, which is always harder in higher heels.

  5. As the question was, what makes a girl sexy? I would have to answer; Personality. But as most replies here are about looks, I must admit that it's a nice pair of legs that catch my eye. But also her posture and the way she moves and carrys herself. (And of course we would all agree that heels enhance all of the above!) I also can't resist a nice smile, even on otherwise average looking women.

    • Like 1
  6. My wife tried them on in store about a year ago and we both thought they were great. (But she didn't want them as they are similar to Louboutins that she already had.)

    There have been a couple of other threads about them on the forum here before. Two of our lady members have them. Hopefully they can give you some direct feedback as ladies who have worn them more than just a few times.

    There was also a discussion about the reviews earlier this year.

    It's worth reading all the reviews (including the other colours). Most find them high, some find them uncomfortable (I suspect they are not used to the height) yet most seem to love them regardless. And some of the ladies are clearly enjoying them on some kind of fetish level even if they are not consciously aware of it themselves.

  7. Hi WobbleFan,

    Congrats on your wife wearing the 5" heels!

    Please don't wait for her to wear the stilettos or be associated with heels at all to give her the praises of beauty and so forth, like the one you said on the phone as she was coming home from work. Be the cassanova or inventive, sparking lover your wife wants you to be for her. Apparently she is worth more than any effort you may have instore, but she will appreciate and treasure the outcome.

    I agree completely. Don't only do this when she wears the heels, as she may start to think the heels are more important than her.

    But now she is wearing heels like this (even if only occasionally) it is time to step up ypur game. (Did you know you can order boxes of rose petals - great for spreeding on the bed.)

    Dear Wobble

    The second pair of shoes are much more aesthetically appealing in their own right, and of course would bring a much more dramatic line to a female leg. The slim heel and higher arch both produce a noticeably 'dainty' and tantalising effect which is alluring on several levels.

    Also the evidently lighter weight and build of the second shoe emphasise and outline the femininity of a lovely pair of ankles and legs. The extra height will also exaggerate the tiny wobble effect at the ankle as your wife struts around in these. It's an almost subliminal effect, but for a dedicated 'leg man' is unmissable, and provoking.

    During arousal and orgasm the female foot and leg are often extended and this 'display' is mimicked by wearing high heels. Of course, the paradox is that while such heels make a woman in one sense rather helpless, they can also give her a hypnotising power; the right to be utterly provoking and yet to remain entirely unmoved by the passion she arouses among the men who encounter her.

    It's a wonderful ambiguity, I think. Any Woman who habitually wears heels and fine hosiery knows their effect and many choose to maximise and enjoy that effect, quite deliberately. I'm sure that once your wife has worn her new heels to a few parties she'll have some stories about men who simply 'couldn't look away'. Perhaps she'll enjoy that.

    Cheers,

    I couldn't had said it better myself!
  8. when I am suited up my shoes should make me feel powerful or at least make me feel that I am looking good

    Hi Confused, and welcome to the forum.

    I know what you mean. But after years of wearing boring shoes, a few years ago I found (and have since worn) these shoes to work with a suit. They certainly make me feel powerful and I get compliments on them from time to time:

    Jeffery West Rochester Simon (2" heel)

    Jeffery West Rochester Timothy (2" heel)

    Jeffery West Rochester Boots (2" heel)

    YSL Johnny Boot (2.5" heel) - You can get these in a plain black / brogue style. They cost around £400 from the YSL stores in London.

    None of them are cheap - more of an investment buy - but they are all very well made. But it does seem that us guys have to spend a lot of money to get something stylish, whilst women can get stylish shoes relatively cheaply.

  9. These booties arrived last week .

    Omano brand and great "kraftmanshaft" .

    Very good wearable .

    Hi Prutske,

    Could you post some pictures of your actual boots? What does the toe shape look like - it's hard to tell from Omano's pictures.

    Does the toe box make your feet look smaller, like most womens boots, or larger like most mens boots? - How far does the end of the toe box extend beyound your toes at the front?

    Are they tight or loose around the ankle?

    Are they tight or loose around your instep (front of foot)?

    What size are you and what does the heel height measure on your boots?

    Do you think they run true to size, or large or small?

    Is the sole leather or rubber?

    Sorry to ask so many questions, but thanks in advance for the info.

  10. I saw this last night as well.

    Initially I was quite pleased to see a fashion expert on mainstream TV advising guys that high heels are fashionable. Gok himself often wears YSL Jonny Boots with a 2.5 inch heel.

    But his next comment kind of undid all that good, and I was quite surprised considering that Gok has encountered more than his fair share of prejudice in his like (I saw the documentary about how he used to be overweight as a child as the abuse he received for his weight, sexuality and ethnicity).

    For those that missed it, it is available to watch on line at 4 on Demand here:

    Incidentally the boots he gave the guy appear to be Jeffery West - I have a couple of similar pairs myself, and wear their shoes with the same (2 inch) heel to work.

  11. Over the past year my wife has had a few pairs of shoes from Kurt Geiger. The female staff have a "uniform" of all back clothes (often dresses), black opaque tights ("panty hose" for our US members) and a pair of heels from their range. As they are dressed completely in black this makes their (often contrasting) shoes really stand out.

    In one store I asked about these for my wife. In my wife's size 7 the heel measures 140mm, with a 20mm platform. I was told that one of the other girls wears them every day whilst working and finds them very comfortable. Apparently the shifts are 6 hours and it is nearly all standing up.

    Recently my wife was looking at (and eventually brought) these summer sandals. They also have a 5 inch rise from platform to the top of the heel. The girl who was serving us was wearing the black and cream version, and commented on how much she loves them.

    I had assumed that staff were just able to select pairs to wear whilst on duty, but apparently they have to buy them (at a discount of course) and therefore only choose shoes that they really like, knowing that they will be wearing whilst working. Therefore it gives more weight to their comments on the shoes they are wearing.

    Of course not all of them wear the highest skyscrapers, but I've only once seen one wearing flat shoes, and all of them appear to have great taste.

  12. Thanks for posting the link Swagman.

    Schuh have possibly the largest range of shoes on the British High Street. Unfortunately they stock more ugly shoes than many shops (compared to places like Aldo, Faith or Kurt Geiger) but they do have a few very nice styles, including the ones you link to, Red or Dead and Irregular Choice (who also currently have a 5 inch high shoe). They even have some men's boots with 2 inch heels.

    The reviews make interesting reading. Many go along the lines of; Impossible to walk in, make my feet ache, Love them, 5 out of 5!

    My wife actually tried them on in store back in December. She found them very high, but walked well in them and looked absolutely amazing in them. However they are plastic, rather than leather. Whilst I would have brought them for her, she didn't think there was any point as they were similar to but not as good as her 5 inch Louboutin's.

    In the New Year, we ended up getting these from Kurt Geiger, which look much better than the picture. In a size 7 the heel measures 140mm, with a 20mm platform, and my wife tells me they are comfortable enough to wear around all day. :-D

    What with Neil's wife's Strappy Heels from Debenhams, it's good to see shoes with a 5 inch rise coming to the High Street. I hope the trend continues. :-)

  13. Hi Shoemaker, and welcome to the forum.

    I'm a wearer of men's heels, wearing Jeffery West to the office and YSL Jonny Boots most of the rest of the time. It's a great feeling wearing shoes like these and I get nothing but compliments on my choice of footwear.

    jeffery-west stating only "higher heel", i guess 2-2½inch.

    The Jeffery West shoes with the "higher heel" are around two inches high. However the arch makes them feel almost as challenging as the two and a half inch high Jonny Boots. (Not that either are a challenge to me any more.)

    Schuh are currently the best place in the high street for men's heels, with a few styles just under two inches high such as a few Jeffery West Black Line (his low cost range) boots (such as Lightning and Tri Buckle) as well as some others.

    Much of this forum focuses on women's heels, but there are occasional threads on men's heels. Here are a couple that come to mind:

  14. On Saturday night in NYC I went to a loft party in the heart of Wall Street.....

    Then the topic of men in heels came up. It wasn't me who brought it up either. It turns out this guy is friends with Rad Hourani. So when the topic came up, he disappeared to his bedroom and came out with a pair of Rad Hourani heels that the designer had given him as gift.

    .....(Rad's heels for men are the exact same as the heels for women, but sell at 500 euros as opposed to 1000 according to my source).

    Thanks for the interesting report KneeHighs.

    If the male Rads are 500 euro, I wouldn't mind adding a pair to my collection. Just where to find them in London - Clue?

    Me too, or anywhere else you can buy them in Europe if you can't get them in London - it's about time we went on a weekend city break.
  15. Great article Puffer. Thanks for posting it. I agree with the writer and Dr Shoe, that a woman who is wearing heels that are higher than she can handle is a big turn off. But the writer makes one wrong assumption - That no women can walk elegantly in heels over four inches high. The reality is that very few women can walk elegantly in heels over four inches high, but those who can are simply amazing/stunning/mind blowing.

  16. Congratulations Chris!!!!

    Owing to the delicate disposition of some relatives I will be wearing flats to the wedding. ;)

    Why not wear some mens heels such as Jeffery West Rochester (2" heel around £250), YSL Jonny Boots (2.5" heel around £400), Archie Eyebrows shoes or boots (Almost 3" heel around £175 in store) or some of the lower cost high street [url=http://www.schuhstore.co.uk/search_main_frameset.asp?curr=0&search_term=cuban]boots/shoes. No one would bat an eyelid at any of these. (I, myself got married in Jonny Boots.)

  17. Hi Savvysgirl,

    As Simon says, you'll find that many of the other ladies here are Louboutin fans. One of them, Roz, has a blog that lists them and all the other shoes that her and her sister buy.

    The love of my life also loves Louboutin's - she wore the ones with bows and feathers on at our recent wedding.

    I am a Louboutin collector,much to my fiances disgust!

    Time to get a new boyfriend? I tend to encourage my lady and have even created some dedicated storage for them.

    So welcome to the forum! I look forward to reading about your adventures in Louboutin land.

  18. I've mentioned before the mens heels that are easily avaliable here in the UK.

    Last night I found that Schuh have a sale on and they have reduced their rather cool Jeffery West tri-buckle boots which have a two inch cuban heel.

    With this style they have managed to make a boot that works well both with a formal suit, or more casual atire.

    For those that are interested, be quick as they are selling very fast (several sizes have gone since I looked last night) and this morning I've brought the last pair of size 8's.

  19. My lady has a pink strippy pair of these. They were her first Louboutins. I believe they are called Pin Up and are basicly a Clichy with the added ribbon and bow. You may find that a Louboutin store can still special order them, but you may need to wait and it will cost extra. Good luck with finding some!
