AZShoeNut Posted August 22, 2011 Posted August 22, 2011 Howdy, I just gotta post about my new shoes and about buying them yesterday. It is just so hard to find heels in 12W that I absolutely love and yesterday I picked up two pairs. Yesterday, mid-day, I suggested to the Mrs. that we go get pedicures and do some shoe shopping. She agreed happily. Now she can get a little up tight when we are out shopping explicitly for heels for me and I didn't sense that at all this time. After an amazing pedicure where I actually got clear polish we headed out shoe shopping. A quick stop at Payless turned up nothing. We then headed down the mall to Torrid. Wow, what a great experience. We went in and my wife was completely supportive of helping me find shoes that I would like. I have been looking for a pair wedges that are high, cute, and fit my size 12W feet for years now. Though both pairs could use one more inch in height they are still pretty awesome. After we picked out the shoes we browsed through the store and my wife enthusiastically sought my opinion in different outfits and shoes for her. It was completely open, relaxed, and fun. I feel like neither of us were worried about others and were just being ourselves. We even had fun chatting with the sales clerks. After a bit we checked out, went out to the car, and headed home. It was just a great day. I found shoes that I just adore, got to have a good time shopping with my wife in a way that I think that she appreciates, and we both went home happy. I just had to share. :-) Larry Here are a couple of pics. I like the black and white ones the best. :-) Life is short... Wear the bleeping shoes!
ilikekicks Posted August 23, 2011 Posted August 23, 2011 Its good you found some shoes but.. Ya know.. You and the Mrs had a great time together, enjoying yourselves.. Good for you! Its always great to hear when people have actually had some enjoyment! Congrats on the shoes! REPEATEDLY ARGUMENTATIVE, INSULTING AND RUDE. BANNED FOR LIFE.
hhboots Posted August 23, 2011 Posted August 23, 2011 Wonderful shoes, I really like the black ones, but both are nice. Congratulations - on the shoes and the fun trip to get them.
Regen Posted August 23, 2011 Posted August 23, 2011 Mmmmm... Me likes those black polka dot with white background heels. I was curious, what is your Mrs.'s height and shoe size? I'm a size 13narrow btw.
kfsteve391 Posted August 23, 2011 Posted August 23, 2011 Sounds as if you and the wife had a nice time and you both got what you wanted. I like the white ones with the black polka dots best, too. I am sure you will enjoy wearing them.
maninpumps Posted August 23, 2011 Posted August 23, 2011 I think the black pair are sweeeet. Hope you enjoy them and thanks for the pic.
SF Posted August 23, 2011 Posted August 23, 2011 Nice story, nice looking sandals too! Are you going to wear them outside? My wife and I go shoe shopping at times, and I know what you mean, it is fun!!! Especially when you are able to find some nice shoes... sf "Why should girls have all the fun!!"
AZShoeNut Posted August 24, 2011 Author Posted August 24, 2011 Howdy, Thanks a bunch everybody! Nice story, nice looking sandals too! Are you going to wear them outside? My wife and I go shoe shopping at times, and I know what you mean, it is fun!!! Especially when you are able to find some nice shoes... sf Howdy SF, I would love to wear them outside however my wife is still a little bit up tight about me going out in public in heels. The Phoenix metro area is a big town but everwhere we go we run into people we know. I am not sure of if, how, or when but I sure would love to go out on the town in those shoes. Mmmmm... Me likes those black polka dot with white background heels. I was curious, what is your Mrs.'s height and shoe size? I'm a size 13narrow btw. Hi Regen, Ya, I dig the polka dot shoes the best myself. Gosh I guess she is 5'5" or so and wears 10W. It can be a challenge to find decent shoes for her too. Sounds as if you and the wife had a nice time and you both got what you wanted. I like the white ones with the black polka dots best, too. I am sure you will enjoy wearing them. I thought you might dig them, Steve. I recalled your preference for sandles as the clerk bagged them. Hope all is well. :-) Larry Life is short... Wear the bleeping shoes!
docs41 Posted August 24, 2011 Posted August 24, 2011 That's a great story. To have a supportive wife and to score on a shopping trip like you did makes it extra special. Congratulations... If the shoe fits-buy it!!!!!!
HappyinHeels Posted August 24, 2011 Posted August 24, 2011 AZShoeNut, How awesome you went shopping with your wife and that undoubtedly enriched the whole experience. I have only bought one pair of shoes at Torrid, about a year ago and I believe it is either the same pair you got or something very similar to them. The polka-dot wedges are very cute indeed! Luckily I am ideally a size 11 but have been able to find occasional open-shoe sandals and heels that fit me fine in size 10 which really expands the possibilities. My suggestion for healing publicly- make a short trip to Tucson, go sightseeing in the national park or up to Mt. Lemmon or just shop in another city that isn't your home city. OR...make that drive up Hwy. 93 to Las Vegas where they are aching for tourists' dollars, there are plenty of shoe shops, and where a guy wearing heels isn't going to matter much at all. There's only three VERY IMPORTANT rules to follow there. 1- Only take an amount of money that doesn't change your lifestyle when you lose it..notice I said when. 2- Clocks have no relevance at all in Vegas, eat, sleep, heel, and gamble whenever the hell you want. 3- Never, and I mean NEVER, cheat a casino. I work in law enforcement and they will get judges to issue warrants of arrest with no limits on extradition at all. They keep track of card counters and other known cheats with facial recognition software. If you're spending then you are welcome whether you're a chick in basketball sneakers or a dude in stiletto heels. So give this choice some thought. HappyinHeels:wavey:
