Restarting My Collection

[gallux]

Hi friends, what a great day it is for me - I just received from the post office my 2 first new pairs of my new collection. 2 amazing vintage pairs that fit like a glove:

I am really enjoying them, can't take them off...

Great start, Gallux, but the photos don't show the heels. From the perspective you shot the photos, they could be flats. Show us what the heels look like. We're glad you're happy with your new start. Hope you continue to grow your collection into one you're proud of. Steve

They both look nice from what I can see. Another photo side on would show them better.

You're right, I'm sorry... I still hadn't much time to take nicer pictures of them... So now, the correct indroductions: 1 - Black kid pumps from Nickels (There are suede straps in the upper area, tied with a small cord like a bootie, very cute) - 4 inch 2 - Black suede pumps from Andiamo (Very cute golden snakeskin-like details on the sides and heels) - 4 inch And just today I received another pair 3 - Nude patent pumps from Kensie Girl (This brand goes up to size 11 only, 1 size smaller to me... even though being a little snuggy, they are comfy to walk, and even more having rubber soles!) 2 inch

I have to ask, was there a purge recently, or did your taste change or what. Am I missing something? Nice shoes BTW.

Yep... I did a purge about 6 months ago when I had to move out of my apartment and married... As I mentioned in another topic recently, I revealed everything to my wife, and to my surprise, she accepted (even still a bit shocked...)

Now, I will show her these pairs this afternoon... it will be the first time seeing me in heels... so let's see how it goes...

That's awesome, gallux!

Nice shoes! What size are the two black pair? Assuming that the beige pair are 11s, and you indicate them to be a bit tight, are the black and black/gold pairs size 12? If so, you are very lucky to find such nice vintage shoes in size 12, as that was a very hard size to come by in a decent pair of heels when those were new!

The 2 black pairs are size 12 indeed, very rare, and barely worn - so yes, I guess I am lucky. Also I spent a lot of time looking for them

The Nickels pair would be more a size 12 narrow (even though marked B width... I am surprised they fit me this well (guess I do have a female feet)... the leather is very soft and thin, so despite being tight, they are very comfortable and pleasant to wear and look at, VERY feminine. So no wonder, these are my favorite among the 3.

Thanks for the additional photos, which really give us a much better idea of what the shoes look like, and I agree, they are fabulous. Lots of good luck with your wife's acceptance and I hope you have fun wearing heels with her. Steve

Gallux, Those are all very nice looking heels. Welcome back to heeling. Hope your wife likes them on you, too. Happy Heeling, bluejay

[mtnsofheels]

Gallux, So nice to hear your wife has accepted your shoes interests. Nice new shoes to start with again! And yes better pictures, good for you and hope to hear more about how your is getting along with your heeling! Be safe and have fun!

[RonC]

Wow, I jealous of those size 12 finds. When I go looking, about the best I see are 11s in anything that I'd like.

[gallux]

Yep... most brands go up to size 11 only.,.. many not even above 10... And consider yourself lucky - in Brazil there are almost no brands above Women's 10... just a few "special sizes" brands that do the ugliest shoes you can imagine. So I am forced to import. Tall women and men are not a target market it seems... but it has been changing and will change more in the near future... population is getting taller and big footed. I just hope they keep women's shoes for WOMEN. Some brands make women's shoes for MEN, wider and larger than usual female design, and that takes away all the "fantasy", or the pleasure, at least for me... If I want shoes designed for men, I can just grab my usual boring loafers...
