any reply on how the order went?? would like to know some feedback.

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.

CL's are worth every penny, the fit, the looks, the feel good!

Ah, welcome to the weird world of fixed single speed cycling, also known as fixies. As you point out it is a racing bike but just to add to the fun there is no freewheel (you have to keep moving the pedals) oh and get this some only have a single brake! They've become all the rage in the UK as in many other western cities; frankly as a cross country (full suspension) cyclist, I'm afraid I don't see the point for most of the "fashionistas" urban cycling still needs a high level of control to avoid accidents.

They come from cycle couriers, who want an ultra lightweight, ultra low maintenance bike for work - which I get but why they have become fashionable for anyone else escapes me. The bubble already seems to have burst though as many people have had repeated accidents / found them to be too much hard work for a typical British urban setting.

Anyway, I'll step down off my soap box and get back to the heels.

Yup, they come from track-cycling(on ovals), where brakes are hardly/not used and one speed(very very fast) is enough.

High heels may be used as brakes, or do they get any aerodynamical advantage?

LOL

Ballet heels are my highest normal pumps would be around 5.5" no platforms.

They look awsome but I can't walk in them. Ballet boots are easier to walk in than these.

heidi klum

these cannot be qualified as normal shoeware anymore.

These are a form of art, of course, each individual to interpret their own taste on art,so as with these boots. to me they're neither nice nor ugly.

what? you got hit on by women while wearing heels? wow! maybe that is the secret! I just have to get my mind adjusted to that very very nice thought.

highly annoying website it became, the temporary underconstruction website was even better than this.....whatever it is.

wow, simply WOW!

I'm speechless. OMG. I love the boots!

I think it's a great advert even ignoring the heels, especially if you're British you'll understand it more with the retro brand names in it.

Stewardesses don't wear heels, and I suspect that even the low heels mentioned above are not proper 'heels'. This is in case of emergency where stewardesses need to be prepared to evacuate the plane.

cabin crew are there to save your ass, not to kiss it.

Nice try, Would have to say No. My Nike air max sneakers have a higher "heel" than these.

Greatings all,

Since i did not get any shoes for Christmas,

I ordered a nice pair of boots. See attached.

Happy New Year everyone and Happy heeling

these boots are wonderful and so nice to wear, have them also!

No way for us to go for Louboutin but we could find these ones. Loub fans will say there is nothing to see with real ones but don't you think they look quite close to THE ONES ?

I love my louboutins!

I love after X'mas sales! Harrod's have Louboutins for half the price!

The highest heel are very close to the real thing, and also very sexy;)

Be careful not to catch a cold while streetheeling in the snow, peoples!

that is so way cool!

They definitely look like YSL Tribute Too double platforms to me.

Here's a better quality picture of the style as taken from my Guess the Celeb forum. These are being worn by Nelly Furtado:

Not sure where you can buy them from, I'm pretty fond of the style myself, particularly with the blue sole.

Try Harrod's London.

djeez, how short are they? the photographer kneeling down is almost as tall as her in heels???!!!

The Aldo ones are very nice as well, and so many olors too choose from!

feel the same way. a nice pair of heels does make your heart beat faster.

In the absolute worst case try gluing some sandpaper or emery cloth to the soles. They'll be hell on the flooring for a while, but you could always remove the shoes when at home.

there's special pads which you can buy in the shoe stores. they work perfectly.

other than that is just walking around on concrete/ the streets. scuff them up a bit.

good luck.

usually it'she shinyness that makes it a nice pairs of shoes. Ifi it's almost patenlike then it's a nice shine. too bad you wanna get rid of that. but it's up to you. erm, where's the pic?

I like the swim city slippers better, but again when the weather is that horrible i would protect my shoes from going out there in the first place. However, these would do much better than a plastic bag over your shoes whike wearing them.

Did you not mean: stand up in your high heels and take responsibility?
