steph Posted November 22, 2003 Share Posted November 22, 2003 Hello everybody... When I saw these at a shop yesterday I immediately fell in love. went in and asked the price: 120 Euros...AARRGGHH...maybe one day! Came back home and started dreaming about walking in those sexy low cut pumps. Ok...maybe one day... This morning I went back to that shop with the sole purpose of trying the shoes on. The 2 girls who run the shop were extremely friendly and they really made me feel comfortable. I tried a size 40 but the first impression I had was that was a bit too large, tried a size 39 then but a bit too small. They invited me to walk around for some time, switching from a pair to another till I was sure abot the size that would fit better. Ended up walking up and down the store for about 20 minutes, chatting to the girls. They were a bit surprised I could walk so easily with those heels, I explained I'm actually "rather experienced". Then I had to answer all their questions about the other shoes I own, what style I prefer etc. At this time I took my credit card without any hesitation. buying was not my intention but you know...I couldn't resist!!! WHAT A WONDERFUL DAY! These pumps are very pointed and low cut, heel is about 10 cm high and are all leather made...the smell when you open the box confirm it. btw I choose size 40 and also got a 10% discount. Sorry for my bad english, I just felt I had to share my happiness with you all. definitely a pair of shoes I REALLY LOVE...hope you like too. here are the pictures ciao...Steph Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jo Posted November 22, 2003 Share Posted November 22, 2003 Superb shoes. An unusual pattern/design. Not too high either. That toe is really pointy! Very nice; and just my size too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shyguy Posted November 22, 2003 Share Posted November 22, 2003 Hmm the jury isstill out, first look didn't like them, second warmed to them, but 3rd look was back to unsure, umm I'll get back to you.... 120 Euros, phew, some credit card company is celebrating that purchase He was so narrow minded he could see through a keyhole with both eyes.

Heelfan Posted November 23, 2003 Share Posted November 23, 2003 Superb purchase Steph! Worth every penny! I love the low-cut sides and toe! Many court shoes (pumps) are spoiled by the upper being to high cut, stodgy and frumpy, but low-cut styles like this are gorgeous! Well done! Cheefully yours, Heelfan Onwards and upwards!

steph Posted November 23, 2003 Author Share Posted November 23, 2003 thanks heelfan...believe it or not this is the first time I pay so much (110 euros) for a pair of shoes I cannot wear freely everyday...you know, being a man... but I really loved the design and couldn't resist. I know I've spent a lot of money for this but I'm sure they're worth every penny...you can really see and feel the difference between crappy 30 euros or US$ faux leather syntethic sole shoes and these. very comfy too despite the very pointed toes. ciao...Steph Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dimpantyhose Posted November 23, 2003 Share Posted November 23, 2003 I really like the pump you purchased Steph. They are really beautiful. Nice purchase Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubba136 Posted November 23, 2003 Share Posted November 23, 2003 I agree. Grat shoes. Please let us know where you are going to wear them and what the reaction is. Being mentally comfortable in your own mind is the key to wearing heels in public. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dheel Posted November 25, 2003 Share Posted November 25, 2003 Those are great! Very curvaceous. Sounds like a great experience at the shoe store! I'm jealous. "No matter what they say" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
