heelman83 Posted March 10, 2010 Posted March 10, 2010 Where is a good place to buy some nice high heels but not real expensive high heels? Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!
Regen Posted March 10, 2010 Posted March 10, 2010 Buy online at http://allheelsformen.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=CTGY&Store_Code=AHFM&Category_Code=SSS I have never ordered online but this site seems reasonable.
Tech Posted March 10, 2010 Posted March 10, 2010 Where is a good place to buy some nice high heels but not real expensive high heels? Any help would be appreciated! Thanks! You tried a shoe shop? There everywhere, all you need to do is look for them... lol. Your question is like asking "Where can I buy a decent car that isnt too expensive" @ Regen, best to avoid recommending ANY retailers that you havent personally shopped with.

heelman83 Posted March 10, 2010 Author Posted March 10, 2010 Thank you Regen and Tech for your suggestions!
Dr. Shoe Posted March 10, 2010 Posted March 10, 2010 Indeed. Many US heelmen buy from Payless etc... Graduate footwear designer able to advise and assist on modification and shoe making projects.
Bootking Posted March 10, 2010 Posted March 10, 2010 Many stores are on line; Macys.com, NineWest.com, Aldos.com, bandolino.com, sears.com, jcpenny.com, kohls.com You have many, many choices! It's all about the heel!
Regen Posted March 10, 2010 Posted March 10, 2010 @ Regen, best to avoid recommending ANY retailers that you havent personally shopped with. I'll keep that in mind. Well, given that I have bought shoes from a store and you live in the US... try Payless. I tried looking for a pair of 13's there but all they had was 1 pair of 12's. So they told me that I could go online and print a bunch of different shoes that i wanted in a certain size and then bring the printouts to them at the cash register. There, they will search other stores for the availability of each shoe. They ended up giving me a store within the city (not too far from where i live) with a pair of the shoes i wanted and even gave me a coupon for $3 off on that pair of shoes.
heelman83 Posted March 10, 2010 Author Posted March 10, 2010 Thank you for all the sites to check out! And never really thought about payless. Thanks! I will let ya'll know when i find some i like!
roniheels Posted March 11, 2010 Posted March 11, 2010 There are some very nice, inexpensive high heels at Payless Shoes. Target has some great high heels at a reasonable price. Burlington Coat Factory has many sales and the one close to where I live has many different styles, some under $20.
heelman83 Posted March 11, 2010 Author Posted March 11, 2010 roniheels thank you! I was looking to spend $20-30 so that works great!

Sheridan, near W. Devon) carries 13s. I shopped there regularly when I lived in the northern Chicago suburbs. I haven't lived there in about 3 years, but I'd imagine that the staff is still as friendly as they were to me. After there, your best bet is to head downtown, although not all downtown stores carry 13s. There's one in the first black of S. State that carries 13s, and I just stuck with that one when Edgewater didn't have a style in my size. There's another store in like the 3200 block of W. Roosevelt that was pretty big, so I'd imagine that they carried big sizes too. Since you're in Chicago, check out Skyscraper Heels, too. Be yourself; everyone else is already taken. - Oscar Wilde
HappyinHeels Posted March 12, 2010 Posted March 12, 2010 REGAN, Like DanielinHeels says try out Payless anywhere you see them but I HIGHLY recommend you take a trip to my buddy's store- Skyscraperheels at 2202 West Belmont Ave. just west of Damen. Either park around the corner on Leavitt or right on Belmont BEFORE 4 pm. His store is closed Sunday and Monday, open 11-6 Tuesday and Wednesday, 11-8 Thurs-Sat. If he's not there then Diane or the other girl will help you. Skyscraperheels carries sizes 5-17 and is VERY transgender-friendly so men buying heels there is a very normal thing. SOmetimes I stop in just to say hello and chat and yes, I might try on a pair of heels while I chat. Feel free to stop in, it is the kind of place all of us here dream about. A place that carries a wide selection in larger sizes where you can try on what you want without fear of judgement or looks of any kind. I just wonder how many other cities have such a place because they are rare indeed. There are many places that are friendly towards guys buying heels-Bakers,Target,Aldo,NineWest,etc. but how many have women's sizes past US11?? You could even wear a pair of heels under your jeans or something to go there if you wanted, it's that kind of place. Get out there and immerse yourself and then tell us what happened!! HappyinHeels
Regen Posted March 12, 2010 Posted March 12, 2010 Hmm. I might give the place a try sometime. It's about 25 minutes away from my house in light traffic on the highway. It sounds very interesting!
