swedeheeler Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 (edited) Have been eyening on some new leather shoes or booties around 150 to 200€. Why that? Most pairs I have are either sandals or otk boots in various styles. As I cant decide which style is more "to go" than the other I need some inputs. Clothing for me is often tight jeans and t-shirt, what I should call casual. Ankle booties or oxies. Both styles speaks to me. Well I'm bringing some linkies to two pairs that interests me. https://www.high-feelings.de/oxford-pumps-grau-pu060050?c=2238 Gray oxies https://www.high-feelings.de/stiefeletten-blockabsatz-nappaleder-schwarz-sw060007?c=2238 Black ankle booties Edited December 9, 2018 by swedeheeler 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would choose the grey oxfords because I personally prefer the ankle exposed. Depending on how much you have worn heels and will wear these - and if out and about - the grey pair are quite a lot higher so will be much more demanding to wear all day. Grey will work better with the blues of denim than the black - although black still goes with everything - grey is a better coordination in my opinion, espeically with coloured tees, or neutrals and white tops. I would recommend tryng to get a calf leather finish (not a suede) as high heels can get a hammering in suede - particulary the heels are susceptible in everyday wear... consider this - driving in these would damage the heels - and slipping them off is not easy before you drive because they are a lace up. anyhow - just my ten cents worth most important thing is to enjoy wearing them ! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cali Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 Love the color on the grey booties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeremy1986 Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 I don't personally like oxies much... but I agree that the color is nice! That website has a nice range for larger sizes.... just way above my budget :-) And @nzfreestyler - welcome back!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cali Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 (edited) If I hadn't just bought plane tickets I might think about getting a pair of those oxies. I really like the color. And with a high arch, lace-ups are the best. Update: Just looked at the site again. I take a 41 and they are sold out.

swedeheeler Posted December 19, 2018 Author Share Posted December 19, 2018 Those money was not wasted an thats a statement for sure. Comfortable and easy-going shoes. I'd walk a thousand miles in those pups 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueparrot Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 Leather is always best. Polyurethane is known to peel and crack just sitting in the closet after a while. Leather allows water vapor to escape so your feet and legs don't get soaking wet on even moderate days. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After x pairs in pu, I'm all fed up of that material. Forthcoming heels will be in leather (or fabric) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beside I gave myself two me-to-me gifts the other day. I really want to try them on before spending the money on them. Maybe I can find them in England in May. But thanks for the suggestion swedeheeler. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I highly recommend! At least the heels themselves appear to be either regular calf leather or patent, so you have a fighting chance of not trashing these.

Pierre1961 Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 Hey! You look perfect. That's exactly the " man as men but in heel look " I love how it maches the jacket How do you feel in these shoes? Will you wear them publicly? I just got mine yesterday! I have tried them on during a short time only. Very comfy. Could be a little higher. But it seems easy to walk in. Now i am waiting for the right opportunity for wearing them longer. I will make a picture in the next days No idea where you are in Sweden. I probably have to go to Copenhagen this year. Would be fun to walk together with the same shoes It also could be fun to give a visit to that guy: Laurentin Cosmos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swedeheeler Posted April 9, 2019 Author Share Posted April 9, 2019 Thank you Pierre Pretty ok, need to stretch them just a li'l bit, then they should me awesome to wear! I found them little narrow as it might be the style, or my wide feets? It'd be fun to see how you'll compose everything Sweden is a "tall" country, i live in the northern sweden, got approx 1300 km to copenhagen, but it had be fun.
