[gothic_smurf]

anyone every find a decent pair of heels at 2nd hand thrift store or a pair you wanted and found there

if so.which were they and such

found quite a few already.lucky most fit,still on the hunt i been wanting for a few years now but no luck.even looking on some sale sites,always size to small in my case though but the hunt makes me want them more

but ill explain later about a pair i just got today

been seeing these last few weeks in thrift store,there really nice,but little size smaller then normally so been passing them by,other day i was gonna get them but was walking around store and seen a lady pick them up and put in the cart,so was like damn but least she was pretty good looking so went back up today to see if they had anything new and i seen these back on the shelve so so must of put down so at that point i had to get them then and surprising they fit also.

I haven't been to a thrift store in years, and that's probably because I've never had any luck finding shoes there. I'm not nearly committed enough to making the rounds on a regular basis to find treasure. I prefer to do my shopping on Poshmark or Ebay. The bad part about that is you can't try stuff on, but I still have an 80% success rate that way.

I like checking out thrift stores, as I collect movies and TV shows on physical media. If they have heels I usually do a quick skim, but overall it's like 99.99% too small for me. I'm just right of that EU38-41 that the majority of women are in and whose shoes end up in thrift stores.

I have lots of luck there

I have plenty of luck there.  A good portion of my collection comes from thrift stores.  But you are right, it is a committment.  You have to make the rounds regularly to have success.  I have a few that I frequent locally.  At least once a week.

My wife has found plenty of clothes in those places that were fun to say the least, but not so much shoes.

It may just be where we live, but here the high heeled shoes tend to be black or white only, bought for some wedding they went to in 1980 and decided forty years later to give them to a thrift store as they would never wear them again.

What is surprising is the number of miniskirts she has found there, and I mean MINI... I think that is because some teenager buys them and her parents see what she bought and says, "oh hell no", and they are given to thrift shops. My wife has found a few there that made her blush just buying them, and even then not worn outside the bedroom.

We also wanted to do a "Trash the Dress" photoshoot and bought one there because she wanted to save the one she wore on our wedding day.
