Cali Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 It's like the click. When you first wear heels and hear that click you fell everybody within 2 km will hear it and stare at you. Years ago when I first switched to only women's shoes, I had the plastic heel replaced with (quite) rubber ones on my Bare Traps booties, my first 2 inch heels. Today I embrace the click and own it.

Steve63130 Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 Cali, Sorry, you're wrong on that. I felt everybody within 5 km would hear it and stare at me! LOL Not long ago I bought 2 pairs of Payless "Tori" Ankle Strap Booties, which are so quiet I actually MISS the clicking noise! HA HA HA!

Sydheel Posted January 30, 2018 Author Share Posted January 30, 2018 Hi all back at work after a 6 week break ;( picked up a new pair of shoes. Wittner ‘match’ open toe, open heel, 11.5 cm heel, 1cm platform. Full leather. Saw these on ebay and knew they’d fit as id tried them on instore previously. I’d only ever looked at the black with white highlight before. But what the heck. $20 was a bargain. Regards James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wearing my nine west ankle boots with the heel bling. Im not a great fan of the silver bling but it would costs lots to get it cut off. these boots have a 12cm heel with 1cm platform. I ended up taking to it with a sharp box cutter type knife. Left about 1mm around which is not noticeable. Very happy with the look. 2 Regards James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CPB Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 Some really beautiful footwear Generally I don't like bling,but this is very attractive. It adds to the boot without being ostentatious or overpowering. These are lovely sandals, would love a pair. With that stunning pedi you must look really good! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But once inside the office if Im not going out I can change my footwear. On 2/10/2018 at 4:43 PM, CPB said: These are lovely sandals, would love a pair.

CPB Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 Hi James I don't know if they have Wittner in NZ, still new here. But I'll definitely have a look on their website, thanks for the info. Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canadianbeaver17 Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 Love those white sandals! I’ve use to not like white, but lately it’s growing in me. I might get some white pumps or thin strap heels in the future. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sydheel Posted February 22, 2018 Author Share Posted February 22, 2018 Hi @canadianbeaver17 The Aussie fall fashions are in lots of red and white. Out and about this morning. Stopped for a coffee and toast at a little cafe in town. Wearing skinny jeggings and my Wittner strappy platform sandals Regards James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tacchi Alti Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 I have a pair of peep-toe booties with block heels, bought on an impulse, but I've never worn them as I don't really like peep toes as I see them as too feminine for the conservative look I generally favour. I'm looking everywhere for a pair of closed-toe wedge mules to wear as slippers, possibly with other people around too, but can't find anything.

Sydheel Posted March 13, 2018 Author Share Posted March 13, 2018 Hi everyone I know that the majority on this site are from the northern half of the world, however down under our shops are just starting to get the first of the AW18, (Autumn Winter 2018) styles in. Red and white are big this season, along with black and leopard print, Quite a few styles im seeing also have silver / gunmetal styles. Heels seems to be much the same as normal with a few weird (my view only) conical types popping up and slouchy long boots which I (again my view) also dont like. However there are a few great shoes that I have already tried on and cannot wait till they drop in price a little. Plus I scored a great pair of cheap platform stilettos from one of our discount warehouses. At 14.99 they were hard to resist 1 Regards James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve63130 Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 James, You're getting into some nice autumn styles and we're still in winter boots, but warmer weather and sandals are on the horizon! Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HappyinHeels Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Mid March, at least in terms of sunlight, is equivalent to mid-September in the Northern Hemisphere. Australia and New Zealand are both, however, still milder than places of the same latitude in North America, Asia, and far eastern Europe, Sandal season down there is quite long indeed!

Sydheel Posted March 15, 2018 Author Share Posted March 15, 2018 Hi all went to Wittner yesterday and tried on some of the new season stuff. Too many new styles to choose from. Like a kid in a candy store. i tried on the Eamon boot in tan with a 11.5cm high block heel. The Jetta boot in black with a 9.5cm stiletto and elastic upper, the hathaway boot 8.5cm heel, in blush (read pinky nude colour) which is a sock style and was sooooo comfy i was surprised and lastly at sales reps insisting tried on the Hendrick slouchy pull on boot in silver. It has a weird looking cone heel that is 9.5cm and is actually very comfy. These boots are just over knee and also come in a bright red. Now if i can just get pics to load ..... nope! no pics.
