Who has bought some new BOOTS?

[danielp6406]

I saw a nice pair on Aldo's website yesterday. Went to the store today to order them but they had them stock in my size I could not believe it. Guess what happened next ...

Got the brown version of my Cole Haan boots. Tried them with my skinny jeans.. but.. well, not sure if I like the look without the jacket. I do have another pair of "slim straight" levis that fit well and look like they were made to conceal the boots. Not much help for the cause but much easier to wear then spikes in certain situations.

Same park, but a different location I got some pics of the Vera Wang boots I got recently also. These have around a 4" heel, and are quite comfortable for walking. These are also quite stealthy in the right jeans and I suspect they will get alot of wear. No zippers, and while they are easy to put on they can be a pain to take off. Oh darn, might have to leave em on then

The owner of that store would most likely be very upset to hear she treated a paying customer that way.

Did I miss something?

[CassieJ]

Did I miss something? I read that the employee just walked away when he asked to try on the heels. Did I misread? EDIT: Went back and looked....somehow I was responding to a post WAY back in time. Sorry about that.

No problem, figured I'd just missed the context

great boots Johnieheel. Cant wait to have the confidence to heel like you in public. but i am working on it!

[Rockpup]

Ok, last pair for a while. I gotta stop shopping Found a pair I've been looking to get for months though. Cole Haan Air Jalisa tall boots, Nordstrom rack for $59. Wore them shopping at a Neiman Marcus outlet also, as well as to the grocery store. I think I am going to like these. Between 3.5-4" heel, no platform, so more comfortable to walk distance then the Boutique 9 4.5" boots.

Very nice boots yoyo. They look very comfortable. If you wear them over jeans consider skinny jeans and having the boot shafts altered for a close fit if needed. This is a dynamite look on both gals and guys. Everything has to be fitted well for the boots over jeans look.

i dont take time to change pants for take pics, sorry !

No need for apologies. Just giving you something to think about.

I just got a new pair of peep-toe stilleto ankle boots. The design is pretty hookerish... But I mean it's whatever. I bought them from a store on eBay called "dshoes" (Click!) - and to be honest I am unsure as to if I would reccomend them or not.

Lets starts with the pro's of these shoes and the store:

• The delivery was good
• The shoes were cheap, so was the postage
• The design is OK.
• The "craftsmanship" is OK.

Cons:

• They're just a little too small as most of my shoes are due to the width of my feet
• The materials look a little cheap.
• The craftsmanship is just that - OK.

The BIGGEST Con of all though

• The heel is very flimsy. It's weak especially for a size UK 12 (Euro 46) foot. Giving that the lengh of the shoe is longer, and the person wearing it will generally be taller, the heel of the shoe needs added support. This shoe doesn't give this, when you walk you often find the heel bending, slipping or generally moving in every other direction that the one you wanted. This leaves the only way you can walk on the shoe is a flat-foot or with most of your weight on the toe, which feels and heels just wrong.
• The heel is walkable at a very slow pace. but even then it doesn't always preform as wanted. Even when you put your foot at different angles when walked E.G turned out or in, which is unsafe as it is, the heel is still uncooperative.

I think these heels will be a work in pogress for me. I have heels that are higher than these (These are roughly 5 inch heel with a 2 inch platform), and I can walk fine in those, due to the heel being a lot, LOT stronger (Nitelife Pumps). I am not returning these, as they only cost me £18 from eBay (You get what you pay for, right?) and with the postage return fee (which you have to pay!), I wouldn't be getting that much back anyway.

But they do look great!

Just won on eBay a pair of Kurt Geiger ankle boots with 11 cm bloc heel. How do I post a picture or a link? HeelinF

I just got these lovely booties from Barney15c - I can't close the zip, but it doesn't bother me cos I love them anyway, and I can slip them on and off like pumps! ( I've never worn pumps since I was 6-8 and never with a 4in heel) so its interesting to have boots that don't cover the ankle. Will upload photos later - iPad doesn't want to :S

[Erom2]

Here is the first pair I bought, 3 days ago, at a nearby store… I tried them on before buying and walked around a bit (not a lot, because it was my first time so I could barely stand up wearing them, hehe).

These ankle boots have a 9cm block heel, and I think they'll be very easy to walk in once I get used to it.

(Sorry for the links, I guess I don't have the permission yet to add attachments to my posts)

Those look great, Erom2. Thanks for posting. What is the brand and model? Steve

[Erom2]

You can see them here: http://www.lahalleauxchaussures.com/bottines-cable-40724.html (french site, sorry!)

[Steve63130]

No problem with it being a French site. Thank you! You should be able to street heel in those without any difficulty. They look very comfortable and not at all feminine. Good choice! Steve

You're right, I went to the mall wearing them today (I was a bit worried that I would still be walking in a weird way). I could not care less about people's reactions, but nobody seems to have noticed (or if they did, I didn't notice their noticing). It was good!

Very similar to a pair I wear regularly, I doubt you will get much reaction, I certainly don't. Very good for street heeling.
