Who has bought some new BOOTS?

[Dante]

@ Diablo: A nice pair you got. I prefer a not so pointy toe-cap, but those look great to me. How are you going to put together your attire? With skinny jeans, skit or ...?

[Thighbootguy]

Diablo -

That is a stunning pair of boots! It is really great that your girlfriend liked them also. Did she get a pair? The image I have in mind of a couple both wearing the same great looking high heeled boots over jeans is delightful.

Do let us know how you show them off (the boots not your girlfriend, unless she gets a pair also).

[borg]

I think they are great too.

[Diablo]

Thanks for the nice comments @Dante: I prefer the less pointy toes also, but these are ok for me, they really fit the style! I'm not yet planning to wear them out, but if I would, I would wear them with my normal clothes. I don't really like the look of skirts on men in general (of course there are exceptions, as shown on this forum too), and I think I don't have the shape to get away with skirts. @Thighbootguy: Unfortunately, she didn't get a pair. She doubted for a pretty long time, and in the end she decided not to take them at the moment. But who knows

[wood&metal]

I've been contemplating buying myself a present here lately (a pair of boots), but I just have not seen much that strikes me... I've seen quite a few that I like, but noting that made me say "must have them!"... I may break down and go for a pair of Newrocks that I have been wanting for a while now..

[danielp6406]

Diablo :-)

Those are very nice boots and you are lucky to have a supportive girlfriend !

I agree with Thighbootguy when he said it would be great for both of you to wear the same boots over jeans

Who knows, maybe one day you will wear them out with your girlfriend ?

Also note that it is much easier to wear heels (in public) as a couple than alone as a man...

That sound convincing to me. I think it's also more fun not to wear them alone out in public.

Here is my latest purchase from Aldo. The model name is "Stallins" The Heel is almost 5" measured at the back. The sole is ¼" thick with a ¼" hidden platform. These are "winter" boots since the sole is threaded and they are lined inside. ( But I don't think I will wear them on ice ! ) I instantly fall in love when I saw them ....

[Diablo]

Wow, those look great! And also pretty warm Have fun with them!

Wow, perfect boots for those Harsh Canadian winter months. The only reaction you'll get while wearing them in public is "where did you get them?" from people that are not satisfied with their own style of winter footwear.

Oooooo, I just took a look at aldoshoes.com, the brown ones are super hot too!!! I need more money

[danielp6406]

Thanks everyone for the positive comments about my new boots !

IMO, even better than the boots as your avatar

I think I agree with you (Even if both pairs look nice)

But after all these years, members recognize me by my avatar

Wondering if it would be a good idea to change it.

*** Doing a small pool here ***

Should I keep my existing avatar or change it for the ALDO "Stallins" boots ?

*** Your opinion please ***

...The only reaction you'll get while wearing them in public is "where did you get them?" from people that are not satisfied with their own style of winter footwear.

I will let you know poeple reaction for sure.

Still not cold enough to wear them. A few more weeks...

Yes. The brown ones are also very nice.

You should go see them for real in the store (better than the picture)

But I wish to warn you about what could happen if you see them for real...

Why not use one for sumer, and one for winter??

Now about those boots in your current Avatar - - where did you get those??

[danielp6406]

This is a good idea !

Now about those boots in your current Avatar - - where did you get those??

I got them from ALDO in October 2008. The model name was "Taggart".

Note that (unfortunately) they are not available anymore.

[saudade]

Got a pair of Cole Haan Air Dakota boots fairly cheap. But the leather is mad mad stiff. Even though the toe box is HUGE (larger than my stretcher will fill actually), they hurt after about an hour or so of wear. Hoping that all breaks in after a while. They are nice looking boots though and really solid. The leather smells beautiful.

Didn't realize what a deal I got on them until I just looked at the msrp. Yay for clearance sales and literally the last pair available just in my size.

I finally decided to change my avatar for a "winter boot" since winter is coming... (maybe too soon !)

To all > Do you prefer this new avatar or you prefer the previous one ?

[danielp6406]

Just got these ankle boots from Spring shoes. The heel is 4¼" high measured at the back with no platform and a side zipper. They are amazing to wear (you really feel the heel height) and yet, they are comfortable to walk in like slippers. (And for those who prefers not to be noticed, they are noiseless) Can't wait to wear them to work tomorrow for a real test run...

Also I have lost 30 pounds in the last month and a half with another 100 togo!

But I going to bet having Diabetes and get back under 200 by summer next year so we can go to Hawaii for our 10th Anniversary!!

But I got my first pair of OVER-THE-KNEE Boots Today!

They are Bronx "Zen And Now Boot" in Size 11m!

They are super soft and very comfortable!

Congrats on your first OTK boots. They are very nice.

I like the style too. This is a style I would not hesitate to buy for myself.

Well done

Wedges are very comfortable indeed. But I never got an occasion to run in them yet !

[Elegant]

Great boots! Very stylish, and definitely not tarty.

I was shopping in Value Village here in Canada when I spotted these babies. I tried on one of the boots and they fit like a dream. Not to mention they look hot as hell. Problem is I already have several boots including another black pair purchased not long ago. So I initially put them back and continued shopping. I am glad I changed my mind before I left. I am also glad they were not grabbed by someone else in the mean time. The boots themselves are "Candies" brand which is sold at Kohls in the U.S. The specific model is "Haiku". The heel measures 3 3/4". The are not super high and that makes them very easy and comfortable to walk in. I searched the Kohls site, and the web, and could not find anything on them. So they are definitely not a current model. Oh and here is the best part. I paid $18 for these. Not bad at all. Here is some pics, enjoy.

[Guest]

those are some very nice boots you have there, Mr.X I love them!!

[jay jay]

Lucky you Mr X. Love them too, they look so great.

[JeffB]

Very nice, Mr. X! Those boots look mondo sharp! I hope you'll enjoy them!

[hh4evr1]

Nice boots Mr X. I have a few pairs similar, but with different heel heights and have worn them in public under jeans. Hope you enjoy them.

[chris100575]

I've just bought a pair of these. They arrived on Wednesday and they're gorgeous! I'm definitely loving almond toes at the moment, and have been wanting another pair of suede boots for a while.

[PatentHeel]

Bought these today. I've been eyeing these up the last few days and finally got the chance to get them in my lunch hour this afternoon.
