chris100575 Posted January 20, 2004 Share Posted January 20, 2004 My boots from Divine came today and I love them! It takes me a minute or two to get in and out of them, but it's worth it. I think they're very sexy, and love the feel of being laced tightly into them. They're a UK size 8, and have 4.5" heels. Sorry about the mess in the background, couldn't be bothered to tidy up first!

HairyBiker Posted January 20, 2004 Share Posted January 20, 2004 Talking of Divine, they're having a big clearout of a lot of their styles now (including their ballet boots which are absolutely gorgeous if you like that sort of style) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trolldeg Posted January 20, 2004 Share Posted January 20, 2004 I have the same model, in white leather. It's for sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris100575 Posted January 20, 2004 Author Share Posted January 20, 2004 Thanks HHDS. It does take a couple of minutes to lace them up, but they feel great once they're on. Hairybiker: I got my boots in the sale, and the suede court shoes I bought last week. Now I'm skint. Ah well, I'd been after suede courts and knee boots for ages. What size are yours Trolldeg?

loveheel Posted January 26, 2004 Share Posted January 26, 2004 Got almost the same pair from Candies (now defunct) in the US, but mine have a side zipper. So I only need to lace up the top few hooks. Love them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris100575 Posted January 28, 2004 Author Share Posted January 28, 2004 Hi Ruud, Sure I can go higher! I've got a couple of pairs of 5" heels, and Donna has ordered me a pair of the ballet shoes in a seven to try on, as the eight was a bit big. I don't think I can go much higher than 5" without ballets or platforms though as my toes won't bend far enough. Personally although the higher heels are fun, from an aesthetic point of view I like 4" - 5" best. Depending on shoe size, I think they have the nicest proportions. Oddly enough in these pics the heels do look lower than my suede court shoes which have exactly the same heel! Glad you like them though!

matt Posted January 29, 2004 Share Posted January 29, 2004 based in Northampton!! I seem to remember a year or 2 ago there was a documentry on a shoe making place in or near Northampton that did traditional shoes but the new owner had decided to switch to the "fetish" shoe market. Is this the same place me wonders! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barney15c Posted January 29, 2004 Share Posted January 29, 2004 You are thinking of "The Kinky Boot Factory" They go under the name Divine.

chris100575 Posted January 30, 2004 Author Share Posted January 30, 2004 Ruud: If the ones you tried on were the leather ballet shoes with the straps, then they were the same pair. That's twice this has happened now, spooky! I'm looking forward to trying on the sevens. I was quite tempted by the ballet knee boots, but I wanted to spend less on my first pair as I don't know how much wear they'll get. Matt: They are indeed one and the same place. If you order from them online "W J Brookes" shows up on your statement. Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
