Thats fantastic!

Sky news UK weather girls

Well, a quick thank you to all for your feedback regardless. All will be taken onboard. Dave

Hello, Quick question to all members. Does the quality of the box that shoes come in matter to anyone? Are people happy to pay alittle extra for a better quality presentation box or is it not a consideration in the buying process? Dave

Hi Tech, I understand your points entirely. I know a few girls that are more than happy to get involved and help out but I am looking for a wide variety of opinions. For example, the girls have quite narrow feet. I know alot of the guys have wider feet and wear larger sizes, so assistance in this area would be greatly appreciated. Thank you to a number of members that have messaged me so far. I will head to the meet up forum section soon to possibly organise a northern meet up for anyone that would be willing to offer opinions and views. More to follow! P.S I will make this my last post in the introductions section as I don't want to clog up the forum and opportunity to new members.

Tech:-)

That question came to my mind too but you beat me to it. If he would try wearing heels himself, then he would know how they felt, were they comfortable or not, and if there were any problems of fit, sizing, widths etc. and could better advise his custmers of the in's and out's of his products.

Cheers---

Hi Dawn,

I see a few issues with this. I am not a heel wearer and never have been, so I don't know what to look for in the feel or being able to walk in them.

In part this is one of the reasons I joined up to the forum. I am looking for advice and opinions, so I was hoping that the members might help me with regards to sizing, widths, etc.

Dave,

Thanks for your posts, why don't you tell us a little bit about your shoes? (Don't get too salesy though else the mods complain.)

I'm interested in buying some, but they're still quite expensive (given that they're not actually designer label) so I'd want to know about the quality, materials etc.

I'd also like to see those photos when you get to post them, I did feel that was a little lacking in your eBay shop.

Spiker.

Hi Spiker,

Happy to answer any questions, so here we go...

The shoes are made of high quality real leather, patent leather or suede depending on the desin. The build quality and materials are excellent. I did my research on a number of shoe makers and the team I currently use were the best I found.

I can't post any pictures on the forum (might be able to now that I have made a few posts, will double check) or via a gallery (instructed by the admin and we completely understand). I will PM a link to our website so that we don't break any rules. I am happy to update and post additional pictures on request.

I completely agree that the eBay listings are lacking in content. I am updating them all by the end of the week, so please let me know what you think and any other information I should include.

Dave

Hi Tech, I don't Im afraid I will though admit that there is nothing sexier on a woman than a stunning pair of high heels. Having an interest in a subject certainly helps when trying to sell the products and that is the case on this occassion. Most (if not all) of the shoes that I stock were selected by me with a small amount of research to determine how well they would sell. Seeing as we don't stock any flats I think its safe to assume that I am a heel fan

Hi Bubba136, Thank you for the kind welcome and acceptance into the forums. I have not had the pleasure to chat with Gina yet but if I get the chance to do so in the near future maybe we can help eachother aswell as other members. Maybe just maybe in this case two heads will be better than one I have added a link to the forum from my site so hopefully I can introduce a few extra heel lovers to the community also. I will try to stay signed in and online most of my working days (which is generally 11am Uk time - 2am UK time the following day, yes I work long and hard!) so I am available to answer all and any questions. I will admit (quite openly in fact) that I am still quite a novice in the shoe business. Still learning alot day to day so please don't be afraid to have a rant and rave at me if you think I can do something to improve. Had so much fun reading through the forum that ive lost track of time, must dash off to send my orders

Hi Tech, Thank you for the kind welcome, already starting to feel at home on the forums I have had all sorts of issues/problems but not many horror stories to date (fingers crossed it stays that way!). Size is always the biggest issue, which Im sure is the case for any online shoe retailer. For anyone looking to provide feedback or offer opinions please do so on our thread under the Shoe Wholesale, retail and internet stores section as I have a link to our store there. May I also take this opportunity to say thank you so much to all members that have sent messages so far. Look forward to chatting with more of you soon.

Hi David ,

I'm glad you were able to find this site and i'm sure you will enjoy reading all the great topics discussed here. Also,the shoe pictures you have uploaded in your album are really nice, absolutely beautiful heels. I checked out your web site and have to say the collection of shoes is impressive. All the designs are top notch and appear to be well crafted. The pricing also seemed very reasonable to me for designs of this caliber. I would certainly buy from this site in the future. However , i do have two issues that did not appeal to me:

#1. The index for finding items was a bit difficult to quickly scan and and might be better if organized in catagory groups instead of all items listed alphabetically(unless i missed the main home page)

#2. This is the most important issue by far: please offer more shoes and the pair of boots in sizes that go up to at least a 44 (it would even be better if they were all available in larger sizes).

Moreover, i was also wondering if you have the shoes made for your site or do you just distribute? Was just wondering because you may have some influence with the maker in offering larger sizes . If you feel uncomfortable answering this question about your business i understand and just ignore. I only ask because a few of the shoes and the boots are not listed as available in my size (9uk,43eu) and therefore could not purchase...i'm sure there might be other members here that would also be interested but would need in sizes larger than an 8uk or 41eu.

Once again, welcome here and congratulations on a fine web site .

Hi jsphcass,

Firstly thank you very much for your kind feedback and opinions. I work on the site every day and joined this site to improve my own using the opinions of others to "mould" the site. I am also more that happy to discuss my business with the members (as long as criticism is constructive!) as it will give you all a better understanding of how I work.

Secondly...the sizing issue. I can have the shoes made up to (and probably even larger still) EU45...but if I order over standard sizes (EU41 is usually the largest standard size) then we need to have a new heel mould produced to make the larger sizes. I must also order a minimum of 10 pairs (currently, working hard to get this number lower) for each size over the standard sizes. If I don't have the buyers lined up ready to buy straight away then extras lie around in my warehouse and don't sell quickly. This means I can't expand the range (which I prefer to do while I grow steadily) and limits my options.

If any members find it hard to buy larger shoes and would like me to order in larger sizes (and there is a demand) then I will do so.

I do have the black patent tribute shoes (yellow sole) and the grey suede tribute shoes arriving soon in EU size 44. We had a few orders for EU44 so I got a small range in.

A quick last point .... explaining how my business works. We take an order from a customer and either send the shoes straight away (if in stock) or I have them hand made to order. We are sent the shoes from our crafts team (yes, in china), we inspect and check them before forwarding them to the buyer. I find that the "middle man" quality check is very important as I have rejected a few pairs and had new ones made.

The build and material quality is excellent (trial and error lead me to our current supplier). I added our website to the Wholesale, Retail and Internet section so if anyone would like to view our range and offer opinions I am hear to listen

Davidhayler:-)

A welcome to you for joining here and your pics will be welcomed also.

Cheers---

Dawn HH

Thank you! Appreciate the kind welcome.

Can I post Auctiva links to a few pictures to get me started? I have lots of pictures to share so Im eager to get my gallery up and running

I bought a pair of YSL tribute too from this seller,

The shoes are very accurate and above all the seller is extremely nice and very quick in replying all my questions.

If it is in stock you can get it the next day even.

I'm one very happy customer.

Really appreciate the kind feedback. Once I have more posts written I will upload some pictures of what I have in stock at the moment

I found the "For Sale" forum link so I presume any listings or links will have to be posted via that page.

Hi all, My name is Dave and I found this thread doing some website research. I run the eBay shop stated in the thread and would be happy to chat with everyone about shoes If you would like clarification that I am who I say I am could someone please send me a message on eBay and I can post the message on here to authenticate myself. Look forward to chatting with you all.

Hi to all members! My name is Dave and I stumbled onto this site whilst doing some research for my website. I then found a thread talking about my shop! I joined up and hope that I can chat with heel lovers that would be happy to chat about likes and maybe help with some new designs. I will not post our website address on the forum as it is against the rules but I will add to the existing thread that discusses our products. I hope that we can chat soon and I am happy to upload plenty of pictures
