shrimper Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 jwhite44 :-) The Payless stores in my area only goes up to size 10 (I wear size 11). ALDO: Note that the ALDO "Outlets" sells shoes from previous season (Still looks nice and better prices too). To get the current styles, you most go to any ALDO "stores" which are located in larger shopping malls. Two questions: 1. What feature(s) do you like the most about them? > The lace up (no zipper), buckle and strap 2. If you did buy them, would you wear them in public? If so, hidden or exposed? > For now, the only place I wear my heels "in public" is at the office. At the office I would wear them exposed which is way more fun. Otherwise I wear heels in the house or outside in the dark. But If one day I decide to go out in "day light" then I would try to hide them with long jeans. If you order online for delivery to a local store they will take note of the style and size. Once they see a demand they will begin to stock the size.

dww Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 There is only one cure in my mind, only buy shoes or boots you intend to wear, That is what I do now, over the last forty years don't know how many pairs I have bought, worn once then thrown them away, (At least 150 pairs). Don't buy on impulse, or quickly to get out of the shop. life is not a rehearsal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danielp6406 Posted October 19, 2008 Author Share Posted October 19, 2008 Wouldn't mind seeing some pictures from the front (and back) if you take them. Also, curious to see them pants-out, to see how much is still exposed. Here they are ! See attached pictures with and without jeans. Jeans are women's bootcut. Happy heeling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danielp6406 Posted October 19, 2008 Author Share Posted October 19, 2008 I think I found the cure...at least for the short term. I'm broke! This is a very good cure: Sure to work every time I bought two new pair today and I have promised myself no new shoes until I have worn every pair I own out at least once. Remember, after denial comes bargaining... How long will it take? It depends how many pairs you already got... If you own too many pairs, will you be able to resist that long ? That is the question... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HappyFeat Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 This is a very good cure: Sure to work every time How long will it take? It depends how many pairs you already got... If you own too many pairs, will you be able to resist that long ? That is the question... I have 12 pair I have yet to wear, including two I bought yesterday. At the rate I am going, I should have all of my current collection worn at least once in the next three weeks or so. That doesn't seem too long.... Here they are ! See attached pictures with and without jeans. Jeans are women's bootcut. Happy heeling Very nice with the jeans! I hope you wear them a lot and enjoy them tremendously.

Dawn HH Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 Danielp6406:) I myself prefer high heels to electrical gadgets. Heels are more fun and they don't break down when you least expect it. Your new boots look good on you. More power to you. Cheers--- Dawn HH High Heeled Boots Forever! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vector Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 They look so nice that I am seriuously thinking about going to the store tomorrow afternoon and buy them. I know I should not buy them but I cannot resist . Anyone here knows how to control this sudden need to buy shoes ? Any suggestion will be more than welcome I think you need the 12 step program. Every time, you purchase a new of shoes, you either make sure the heel is 1/2 inch higher or you have to walk 120 steps farther. If your shoes hurt or your ankles wobble or you have any other difficulty wearing or walking in them you can't buy any new shoes for three months!

danielp6406 Posted October 21, 2008 Author Share Posted October 21, 2008 vector :-) Your 12 step program is a good idea but came in a few days too late As you can see in my post # 33 above, I already purchased the boots I was dreaming of... Would want to try your program next time but I would be at 6" heels which is not "practical" for day to day wear... Happy heeling ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dawn HH Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 Danielp6406:-) One thing for sure, with the toe boxes turned up on your new boots that way, you should be able to glide over any terrain without stubbing your toes. Very nice boots, indeed. Cheers--- Dawn HH High Heeled Boots Forever! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danielp6406 Posted October 22, 2008 Author Share Posted October 22, 2008 Dawn HH :-) These boots got a small hidden plattform (maybe ½"). The toe boxes turned up makes walking much smoother. It is like walking "on a cloud". I simply love them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobHH Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 I was talking to a new dance partner today, a really beautiful 28 yr. old girl, and she was showing me her very worn dance shoes and saying she needed some new ones. She said she is a shoe freak and has 108 pairs of shoes, from trainers to very high heels and sexy shoes! Beats me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bubba136 Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 Take a pill (see other thread) Being mentally comfortable in your own mind is the key to wearing heels in public. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thighbootguy Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 If the global recession doesn’t stop you then you have to take more drastic measures. My weakness is leather skirts. I find them in thrift stores so price usually isn’t a deterrent. Previously, if the skirt was close to my size, I bought it, so needless to say I have a large collection. Recently I have forced myself to rehang the skirt on the rack and recite, “You already have one like that…you don’t need another one.” Obviously, this only works for duplicates but most of the ones I see are black leather and I have a bunch of those. Seriously, this is an issue of “mind over matter”. You will really have to force yourself to not buy shoes, but to do that you will need an excuse, so I suggest: I already have a pair like that I don’t have the money for those I’ll generously leave them for someone else No thanks, I’m trying to quit There is a microscopic piece of dust on the toe The color doesn’t match my eyes Failing the above, here is a link to http://alcoholism.about.com/cs/info/a/aa981021.htm'> AA’s 12 Step Program I dream of a world where chickens can cross roads without having their motives questioned.

Dawn HH Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 Nope! I don't think that there is a pill to solve this and the 12 step program isn't going to get us anywhere either.

BobHH Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 I thought 108 was a lot! No, she doesn't know about mine and I haven't told her. Maybe some day. I don't buy many any more because I don't wear the ones I have enough to get use out of them, except for a couple which are getting beat up some.

CassieJ Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 You think you have it bad? I buy 1 or 2 pair a week and my wife is a shoe nut too so she is trying to outpace me. We have a shoe closet (walk in) with shelves for over 200 pair. They are overflowing and the boxes are stacking up in the corners and on the floor. I can barely get in the closet anymore. I think they are about to overflow into our individual walk-in clothes closets. Yes, I do wear them all. Some more often than others but I do rotate. My wife wears about 50 regularly but wears some only on special occasions. Cassie - http://www.fetishforhighheels.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
