Why dont you have a go at spray painting a pair you already have ???
The paint you should use is acyilic spray paint (Signal Red) from B&Q, (if you live in UK/Eire it's about £6). Don't use ordinary house paint - this is oil based and takes forever to dry (and remains tacky for WEEKS sometimes !) Use masking tape to mask off the main body of the shoe and buy a small tin of cellulose thinners to get any overspray off with a bit of old rag. The spray paint usually needs two coats sprayed about 30 minutes apart - then leave for 24 hours, remove the masking tape, take any overspray off with the thinners, and leave to air off for about a couple of days. It should leave a mirror finish - use some furniture polish on the parts you can see and the paint finish will be FAR better that any Lab ones !! (which comes off VERY easily)
In fact I bought a worn once, second-hand pair of genuine Labs for my neice as a birthday present - (as she knows I wear heels too in my house, and now loves wearing heels herself after I trained her !!!!!) - and I thought the finish quality left a lot to be desired
-
I believe she takes a UK 5 - most shoes sold for £100 - £120, and promptly appeared on eBay for far more than that !
-
A story my neice noticed this story for me recently
Said I would have really liked to sort that little lot out LOL !!
Queues around the block at the Red Cross shop in London for these
Wonder how many UK size 5 and 6s walked on their own when being sorted
-
My neice - (who knows and is supportive about my high heel wearing) bought me a little 3" stiletto shoe ornament as one of my xmas presents.
Which was lovely - and was surprised as I thought it was the best present I got from her

Looks like I've a bit of explaining to do .....
This will explain the pink on the map bit ... http://www.rmg.co.uk/explore/sea-and-ships/facts/faqs/general/why-is-the-british-empire-coloured-pink-on-maps
Every school had a huge world map up somewhere in class and many teachers would point out, "pink, pink, pink, pink" what does this mean ?
2/5ths of the world on British maps was pink for either the Empire or after the 1956 Suez Crisis, "The Commonwealth"
"Wagon" denotes in northern England / Scotland what southern English people would call a "lorry driver" and I think in the States would be someone who has a CDL Licence for a truck
A "Station Wagon" is called an "Estate Car" here
A pith helmet is someting you always used to see on Indian troops or on the British serving there ....
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pith_helmet
Washing the elephant is exactly what it says - you hosed an elephant down before bedtime - this happened in British India and was usually followed by "sundowners" - a few whisky and sodas before going to bed LOL !!
BTW ... for life in Great Britain I would get this book off Amazon US for peanuts
A very useful book for anyone thinking of coming over here for a holiday
Anyway - time to put my 5" Court Shoes, sorry, Pumps on now

On newer stuff HMRC also can check at the feed to the injectors - they only need a cotton buds worth to test for the marker - not a bucketful !
Lots of coach companies and european hauliers have HUGE extra tanks fitted and fill up in places like Belgium or the old Eastern Block where DERV is cheaper and NEVER buy fuel in the UK.
Under EU regs ex Warsaw Pact EU countries can poach business entirely in the UK - and as their diesel (and wages are a fraction of UK ones they regularly poach contracts from UK hauliers)
Also foriegn wagons don't pay a motorway surcharge in the UK - but UK wagon drivers do when they travel in the rest of europe !!!
Some of the massive UK hauliers like "Eddie Stobart" buy their fuel on the Amsterdam spot market at trade prices and drive it in by road tanker to their bases in the UK - and as EU duty has been paid (a lot less then UK Duty) theres nothing HM Government can do.
Anyway you Yanks and the rest of Europe drive on the wrong side the road as it is
- and still the sun never sets on the British Empire - and the 2/5ths of the world map is still pink anyway, just off to get my pith helmet on to go wash the elephant before sundowners -
Customs fuel checks are endemic in the north and lowland Scotland.
If you have a diesel around YOU WILL BE STOPPED !
You can even buy red from normal garage forecourts in Bradford (as well as fuel distributors) - Though if you get more than 95 litres you have to fill in an HMRC form in
They don't even dip wagon tanks anymore as a lot of hauliers have had fuel tanks fitted with split compartments with white in the normal filler cap bit and red in a secret filler.
HMRC now actually disconnect the feed at the injection pump up here to see what you are really running on.
As for fines it's £500 for the tankfull and an extra £500 it you own up to filling it up with probable seizure after a day in front of the judge.
The usual way of taking the marker out of fuel is to use Sulphuric Acid as a washing agent - this is rife in Ireland (where Red (coloured green there) diesel is big business - it's like the prohibition days in Chicago in Eire !
Even some garages in Eire sell this garbage as white (unknown to them) and the Guardai (Eire Police) regularly find hundreds of 45 gallon drums of Sulphuric acid sludge left in laybys on the back of an old trailer, which they have to incinerate at the tax payers expense.
-
Fuel theft is quite common in Yorkshire
Some filling stations here will only turn the pump on you if you pay for say 20 pounds at the till first (a lot in the Bradford/Leeds area)
Theres been a lot of tank stabbing too (simply ramming a big nail or drilling the tank with a battery drill)
Some run illegally on red diesel / gas oil (this is coloured red as it's meant for heating - farm / non road vehicles only - and is roughly half the price of regular "white diesel"), though there are far more roadside checks done by police/customs here - people were getting stopped around by us only last week.
The other big thing are vans being robbed of cataylitic converters by simlply cutting them off with a hacksaw and being weighed in at a scrap merchants

Nice write up about these hideous things http://www.guardian.co.uk/fashion/fashion-blog/2012/nov/06/ugg-boots-over-fashion Hope they die out completely

He'd 3 different styles too up, but I couldnt see the Laboutain stamp on them underneath
-
Decent write up in The Guardian here with some nice comments too ... http://www.guardian.co.uk/fashion/2012/oct/26/white-stilettos-let-heeling-begin I never considered them trashy, perhaps its a British middle class snobbery thing ?

Went out with my neice (who knows my love for heels, and me wearing them indoors) last saturday Was amazed at some of the fantastic shoes the ladies had on We were both admiring them and picking out our favourites
-
I've done a couple of pairs for my neice, she was delighted - and thinks it's extremely funny it costs less than a pint of beer to do them properly ! I use signal red acyrilic car spray paint though, rather than the oil or water based stuff, it actually lasts longer then the real thing and comes up with a brilliant mirror shine.
-
Wouldn't mind going with my neice to the Science Museum, London in March to have a look at the display8-)
Just done a pair of 5" green snakeskin pumps with a tin of GPO red colour aerosol on the sole (and a fine artists brush for the sides) for my neice, She's over the moon with them

I've got big feet too ! (UK12/13))
Nitelife's main site is here ...
http://www.indiscreet-footwear.com/
Note they offer free delivery.
I find their shoes are a lot tighter than Pleaser's of the same size

Plenty on e Bay usually, (I've bought many from there recently in UK 12 and 13 for round about the £20 mark, in fact there's three pairs up as I type this put UK 13 in "Heels" in "Womens Shoes" for about £20) Amazon.co.uk surprisingly are worth looking at too for your size. Alternative Footwear are ok and their shop do usually have some in for you to try on, (there at Ramsbottom nr Bury) Welcome to the forum Adam

Have just been doing all my niece's heels recently for this very same problem. Found even some quite expensive brands were not only very slippy, but not flush either. Used an orbital sander and some 3M Green P60 "Paint Stripper" grade sandpaper, then did the edges with some P600 Wet & Dry. She now says it's like having your heels magnetised to the floor

Funnily enough, this question cropped up on a so called, "Babe" channel on TV today !
For people not in Great Britain, these satellite programmes are generally known to punters as, "Slapper Channels"
They usually consist of a woman, (sometimes a triumph of the surgeons art
), sat on a bed in various states of undress as the day and night wears on, encouraging you to ring up and talk to her for £1.53 a minute, (about $2).At 1700 on one of the channels usually there's an, "Ask Jo" spot, where a thirty something ex dancer usually answers questions from SMS texts sent in (at the same extortionate rate
), from lonely men.One today was from a bloke who had a love of heels and wore them in the house when he was on his own all the time, (he said he had about a dozen pairs).
He really wanted to tell his live in girlfriend about his heel passion, and would have liked to wear them in front of her, but was scared of her reaction.
“Jo”, quickly got down to it, and pleaded with him not to upset his partner, “why can't you just carry on as you are babe, why hurt her ?”
Two texts on, another bloke texts in asking her what size of shoes she wore, (BTW, they really were nice too)
She replied, “I really love wearing my size 6 (6” court shoes), I really do look after all my heels, and just love to dangle these in front of you on the show, they make me feel so good !”
I shouted at the TV, “It's a shame you didn't show some support to the other bloke, you ******* hypocrite, that's what he feels like !”.
It seems some women want only want the pleasure of wearing heels for their own sex, though it's perfectly acceptable for women to wear what, only a few decades ago was just male attire.
Thankfully my niece isn't like that, I wore my 5” black patent heels in front of her for the first time just a few weeks ago, and said, “good on you John, you're nearly as good as me in mine !”
Sorry to rant on a bit

Try some of the pound shops for memory foam insoles. I cut them up and shove in the front of the shoe, once they've moulded, the're usually ok. Sometimes if the shoe has got sloppy I wear a pair of thick black mens socks with a pair of knee length black stockings (3 pairs for a quid from Tesco) over the top. With a pair of jeans or black bottoms the're not noticeable and are so comfortable too
-
I find that a quick spray of WD40 on the sticker, then leaving it for a few minutes will get the entire gunk off in one go, though the stink will take a few minutes to go away

Hi Knowles,
Welcome to the forum, I hope you'll find it as useful and friendly as I've found it.
I'm just down the road from you in Bradford
As for getting your partner into wearing heels more often, I'll offer some tips that have worked well with my neice, (who knows how much I love heels, and is OK about me wearing them in front of her too)
She's wasn't too over keen in wearing heels either, but her partner really loves her wearing them too, though Julie said she found them really uncomfortable after an hour or two.
When I "came out", as well as me buying some heels for myself, I took her to the Trafford Centre (for non UK people, it's a rather swanky shopping mall in Manchester) and visited Aldo's.
I bought her a pair of shoes for her birthday, and an extra pair (these 1" platform Moos) I really liked
http://www.aldoshoes.com/uk/women/shoes/platform-heels/75810446-moos/95
(BTW there's an Aldo's on Commercial St, Next to Ladbrokes Bookies, take her there !)
The shoes maybe cost me about 60 quid, but she found the ones with the slight platform extremely stable (far more than a normal stilleto),and easy to wear and walk in, (and buying some non slip soles from Boots is a help for all these laminate floors about nowadays, as she was scared of going flying and cutting her hand open on any drink she was holding) and wears them now on virtually every do she goes to. This may help your partner too.
Also buy her a pair of good quality leather flats she can put in her bag and change into when her feet get tired, (I'm going to do this for my Julie), then you'll probably find she won't have the dread of the balls of her feet killing her as the night wears on.
Most women I've found like to be complimented on how well (or sexy) they look in heels, if this is done gradually this will help a lot too.
A big no no is nag and nag over putting heels on for you, as this makes the woman feel that you love their shoes and not them !, if your partner sees that you liking of heels makes her feel more loved, I'm quite sure she'd put up with a fair amount of pain for you.
Enjoy yourself here, best of luck !
