mackman69 Posted January 29, 2009 Posted January 29, 2009 i had a girl at payless when i bought my rosa lug boots, she seen a little dirt on the soles and cleansed them for me and said if she dont like them or dont fit she can bring the boots back . to which i said they fit great and i like them . she was like they are for you and i said yes and i will wear them a lot. i was wearing my boots with a wedge heels that night she was kinda shocked then but now is real cool with me trying on heels and will tell me if new styles come in .
Dawn HH Posted January 29, 2009 Posted January 29, 2009 Thats great, Mackman. I'll bet you will shop with her more often now. Cheers--- Dawn HH High Heeled Boots Forever!
sept181 Posted January 30, 2009 Author Posted January 30, 2009 One idea hasn't surfaced yet in this thread - she wasn't -embarrassed-, maybe she thought you were hot and got all tongue-tied and teenaged. It happens. Trust me on this, if it hasn't happened to you. Nice thought Jet Silver, but at 56 I have my doubts! But we live in hope.

sm Posted February 5, 2009 Posted February 5, 2009 I had the horror a couple of months back when I had to return a pair of boots to Next that had a faulty zip. The assistant didn't quite know what to do when she opened the box - which I wasn't really expecting, her having filled out a sticker and all already. She said 'Wow, that's a lot of boot' and went red. Of course, my embarrassment had then transferred to her. So, I said 'Yes', with all the dignity I could muster. The thing is, though, it's the thrill of wanting to be seen while not being seen that makes it all so exciting, isn't it. I went out on Monday to Sainsbury's in a pair of four-inch heeled boots under my jeans, desperate to be noticed, but worried that someone might point and giggle. I seem to have lost the bottle to wear my thigh boots over my jeans, though, which I did two or three times last year. It wasn't that I had any hassle, other than a couple of flummoxed looks, but I just don't seem to be able to deal with that kind of openness these days.
Bootking Posted February 6, 2009 Posted February 6, 2009 It took me a long time to get over it and stop feeling stupidly embarassed shopping for heels, etc. I won't say that I don't feel that way on occasion but at least I've gotten to the point where I will go into the store, go look for exactly what I want or ask for what I want without procrastinating or wasting time trying to get up the nerve. In that respect, those silly days are gone. It's all about the heel!
kikepa Posted February 8, 2009 Posted February 8, 2009 The first few times I bought heels in stores, I was nervous. "What would they say? How would they react?" After about the fifth time, I realized it was business as usual, so now it doesn't bother me. Those who really care about us don't make a fuss about what we wear. Those who make a fuss about what we wear really don't care about us.
canadianbeaver17 Posted February 10, 2009 Posted February 10, 2009 I was at Steve Madden in Toronto on the weekend where I saw some flat sandals both my gf and I liked. So i asked the sales girl if they carried them in 11 or 12. She was like, "you mean the women's sandals? oh...I'll have to check." I seem to have thrown her off because she was all disorientated after that. It gave me a little chuckle.
Dawn HH Posted February 10, 2009 Posted February 10, 2009 CB17:-) Its good training to throw the sales girl a curve once in a while to keep her on her feet. Couldn't resist. Cheers--- Dawn HH High Heeled Boots Forever!
