benno Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 In true classic style the 1st pair I bought with my own money was a pair of white stiletto 4.5 inch courts when I was 15. The 1st pair that I wore frequently were some amazing early 80s 4.5 inch, polished black (almost patent) soft leather sandals that were given to my sister by a super glam Essex girl auntie when I was about 7. They had a simple peep toe fronts and thin, wrap around, gold buckle ankle straps and were probably very expensive and Italian. They were about a size UK3 (super sexy vertical foot position) and I used to stuff my socks with tissue and walk around my bedroom in them... I actually found them pretty easy to walk in straight away. Heaven. I still go weak at the knees if I see similar shoes. I wore them untill I outgrew them aged about 9.

Heelster Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 My first pair was only a couple years ago. Went shopping at the local thrift store for a Valentine surprise I was planning for the little lady of the house. They are a peep to pump wedge - all black leather. They said size 10, which I had determined was about right, I didn't try them on, just grabbed and headed for the cashier. I don't know the brand, but there is a butterfly emblem inside on the heel. Maybe 3-1/2" with a slight platform. They fit great, and are a breeze to walk in. Since I had decided that this pair wasn't quite what I was looking for, I went back a couple days later. One of the sales girls recognized me and went out back, and brought in 3 more boxes containing some almost new shoes. Never asked how she knew what I was looking for. Very little wear if any at all, One pair was an Ellie stiletto sandal in black, and one was a Pleaser 7" white platform stiletto. The third was an all clear plastic model from pleaser, but I opted for the first two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetheelsfan Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 My first were from the Montgomery Ward sale catalog during my freshman year of college. I had really admired the girls wearing a multiple strap Mary-Jane style. There they were in the catalog - Trio of Tiny Straps for $3.99 plus shipping. I had no idea of my size and ordered a 10B as that was the largest size available. They had a 1 1/8 inch shaped chunky heel. At that time in 1970, high heels were out of style and I just wanted to try a pair of heels. Hard to believe - they felt a "mile high" until I found a pair of white classic pumps in the Aldens catalog in size 11 with a "high" 2 7/8" stiletto heel. I never had any problem of walking in them from the beginning. I could not understand why so many girls complained about their feet they wore their heels. I just did not understand as they were no problem for me. That was the case until my feet continued to expand beyond the size 10 , then 11, then 12 at which time I could not shop and find what I wanted. Just a bit higher to to delight - low enough for healthy foot comfort and great beginning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stw8 Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 I believe mine were a pair of Nine West Kimberly 3" ankle strap sandals. I saw a girl in the office come in one day wearing them and had to buy them as well. My first pair is black, but I also got it in red (pic attached), then again later in brown.

Foxyheels Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 They were from a local shop and were black strappy sandals, probably about 4" high. High heels are the shoes I choose to put on, respect my choice as I repect yours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZShoeNut Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 Hi, It is kind of funny the first pair that I bought were not even high heels. My Mom had great high heeled sandals and my sister had great high heeled pumps that I would wear. What neither of them had that all the girls in school would wear were the low heeled wedges and low regiular heel pumps that were so popular in the late 1980s. So my first purchase, at age 13, was a pair of white low (1.25-in) wedge pumps from Payless. They were $11.99. They were so awesome and all mine. I hid them in my parents camping trailer in the back yard. I would live in the trailer during the cooler months and have ample opportunities to wear my shoes. My second purchase, a couple months later, was a pair of 1.5-in black patent pumps identical to a pair that that a girl in my homework hour in 8th grade would wear. Good memories.

hh_pe Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 The first pair that I could consider my own were simple black 2 inch pumps that my wife purchased for me over 15 years ago. The first pair I purchased for myself were 6-inch thigh high stiletto boots. I don't have either of them now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RonC Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 The first pair I ever purchased for myself was a pair of brown closed toe pumps that had black trim around the top line of the shoe and a black heel. Probably about a 3" heel if my recollection is right (that was about the highest heel that you would find back in the late 1960's.) They were from Thom McAn. I actually went in to buy a pair of sling backs in red that had a bow on the toe. Unfortunately (and this was not uncommon back then), those only came to size 8 1/2 US. I told the salesman that I needed a 10, and the only heels they had were the ones I purchased. I didn't really like them all that much, but being that's all they had, it was something! Difficult to find decent heels, because in the late 60's, the sytles were changing from the previous stilettos to lower, chunky heels, so there were not a lot of thinner heels around. Even the ones I bought were a somewhat thicker heel than the classic stiletto. The red pair did have a stletto, but alas, not available in the size I needed!. It was very difficult back then to find much in a size 10, and I actually probably needed an 11, (which basically didn't exist) as most 10s were a snug fit. The second pair I ended up ordering from a cataloge (Aldens was the retailer), where a wider selection of size 10s was available. Those were a pair of classic stilettos, black patent t-straps with about a 3 1/2 inch heel. I remember being quite excited when I went to pick them up. Those actually fit me nicely, and I did have them for some time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XtremeHeels Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 The first pair of heels I actually bought were a pair of black 5.5 inch stiletto's. I was 18 and finally built up enough courage to go to the shoe store where I saw the shoes and buy them. I was quite an experience and I am so glad that I bought them! I still have them and wear them from time to time, here are a few pictures for everyone to look at!!! Yes, I can walk in 6.5 inch heels!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LuvyourShoes Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 My first heels were some Pink 5" Ellie Pumps. I ordered them from out of curiosity from ebay for roughly $20.

roniheels Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 My first pair, that I remember purchasing, was a pair of white peep-toe ankle straps with a .5" platform and 5.5" high heel. Sadly, during several moves, I lost them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stw8 Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 They are very pretty...and very elegant. Nine West used to make such lovely strappy heels. Thank you. I believe these were new around 2005-2006. I was able to find the red and brown pairs a few years later. Yeah, Nine West, I find, did have some nice heels. Come to think, aside from these 3, I have a few more that are Nine West. Also with strappy heels, sometimes I'd have to see them worn to know if I'll like it or not... I've noticed with some of the heels I have, I tend to find ones I like from the same designers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
