Rockpup Posted September 17, 2005 Posted September 17, 2005 Hey everyone. I think it's been mentioned before, but I find it interesting when I read a review on a pair of heels on Zappos and it involves guys wearing them Such as this pair from Lucchese, which has the review: "cool biker boots - My mom bought these as dress boots but they look more like biker boots to me. My mom and dad went out and as soon as they left I was getting my moms boots out to try on. The are a little big on me but they fit me just fine with heavy socks on. They are way cool !!!!!!! I told my boyfriend about them so he came over for a look see. I told him they are in my room on the bed. He went in my room and came out a few minutes later wearing them. My mom wears a 10 and my boyfriend wears an 8, he said they felt great on him. Just as he was walking around the house in them, my mom walked in and saw him wearing her new boots. She told him he looks very pretty in her boots. These boots rock!!! " Also, this pair from Pleaser had this review.. slightly shortened.. "Nice boots - My girlfriend has been looking for a sexy looking boot with a shorter heel. I came across this boot and showed her the picture of it. She really liked it and told me if I wanted, I can buy it for her for X-mas. So I did.*edit* She even had me wearing them on New Years Eve. I learned that women’s boots are way more comfortable than men’s boots. They both love the boots and wear them all the time. We have been sharing the black ones. She wears them with skirts and tucked in jeans. I wear them with my jeans pulled down over the outside of the boots. She told me she loves it when I wear her boots out. With long jeans and a short heel nobody has ever noticed they are ladies boots. She made me tell you that. Ha-ha the laugh is on me. She wants to buy at least one more pair of each color to keep in the closet for backups. Thanks Zappos for a fast delivery and a great X-mas gift idea" I've seen guys reviewing the pleaser thigh high boots, but they are no longer listed to get the reviews. I'll post any other reviews I run across, if you happen to see one show it here Seeya Jim (formerly known as "JimC")
hoverfly Posted September 17, 2005 Posted September 17, 2005 Yeah that's nothing new, however I hope this would be a sign that Zappos should be carrying a more larger shoe sizes. Some of the cool stuff stops at a size 10. Hello, my name is Hoverfly. I’m a high heel addict…. Weeeeeeeeeee! 👠1998 to 2022!
gary0618 Posted September 17, 2005 Posted September 17, 2005 Still one of my favorite boots. I got them from Zappos, but they are no longer available, but I did leave a nice review/ http://www.zappos.com/n/p/dp/1669295/c/3/g/women/s/13.html They have a very similar pair available, but with a slightly smaller heel. http://www.zappos.com/n/p/dp/1662197/c/3.html Gary0618 FLAT SHOES, LIKE FLAT DRINKS, ARE FOR FLAT PEOPLE
Dawn HH Posted September 18, 2005 Posted September 18, 2005 Gary0618:-) Mickey has consented to order me a pair of those Harley-Davidson boots that you posted on with the 3.5" block heel. I need a way to contact Zappos to see if they will accept a personal check or a money order and the amount for the shipping. Cheers--- Dawn HH High Heeled Boots Forever!
dr1819 Posted September 18, 2005 Posted September 18, 2005 Believe it or not, the manufacturers routinely examine the reviews, so... If your a guy and buy heels from Zappos, PLEASE enter a comment letting them know you're a guy. Also, even if the shoe fits, it'd still be nice to drop a hint about wanting to see larger sizes for those of us with larger feet.
Dawn HH Posted September 19, 2005 Posted September 19, 2005 If I were to contact Zappos, would www.Zappos.com be the way to go? Cheers--- Dawn HH High Heeled Boots Forever!
rxrenesis Posted September 19, 2005 Posted September 19, 2005 I was in a Harley-Davidson store this afternoon and saw those boots. I gotta take a lunch time walk and check out their sizes in stock. rx If the shoe fits BUY IT http://s10.photobucket.com/albums/a145/rxrenesis/Shoe%20Shots/
Bubba136 Posted September 19, 2005 Posted September 19, 2005 Why not call them, Dawn. There is a toll-free telephone number listed in the upper left hand corner of Zappo's home page ( 1-800-927-7671). I am curious as to what they say to you. Being mentally comfortable in your own mind is the key to wearing heels in public.
tightlevisandhhboots Posted September 20, 2005 Posted September 20, 2005 I love the Harley Engineer style heeled boots, but they dont offer a size 12 (US Womens). If anyone knows where they do offer a boot like that in that size, let me know as soon as possible! Thanks Tightlevisandhhboots
Dawn HH Posted September 20, 2005 Posted September 20, 2005 Bubba136:-) Thanks for giving me a heads-up on the toll-free number for Zappos. It had alluded me the first time I looked at their ad. Cheers--- Dawn HH High Heeled Boots Forever!
barney15c Posted September 20, 2005 Posted September 20, 2005 Might be of interest to some: http://www.harleybootshop.com/harleydavidsonboots_womens1.htm Don't know if Zappos are cheaper - also only go up to SZ11 US, several stilletto / high heel block styles over the two pages. In the land of the blind, the one eyed man is king!!!
Dawn HH Posted September 20, 2005 Posted September 20, 2005 Barney15c:-) Very interesting views from H-D. Thanks. Cheers--- Dawn HH High Heeled Boots Forever!
Bubba136 Posted September 20, 2005 Posted September 20, 2005 Thanks for the link. Mmost of the styles shown are just men's shoes made on women's shoe lasts. Not one pair, even the more obvious felame styles (ones with different/higher heels) could safely be worn by any man that could find a pair that fit him.

dr1819 Posted September 21, 2005 Posted September 21, 2005 Thanks for the link. Mmost of the styles shown are just men's shoes made on women's shoe lasts. Not one pair, even the more obvious felame styles (ones with different/higher heels) could safely be worn by any man that could find a pair that fit him. Ain't that the kicker, though? Great designs in the smaller sizes, but not much to pick from (and what is there doesn't suit my fancy) in my size.
Dawn HH Posted September 21, 2005 Posted September 21, 2005 I have been wearing the H-D brand quite comfortably for almost 2 years now and I'm looking to purchase another pair soon. Cheers--- Dawn HH High Heeled Boots Forever!

Rockpup Posted September 22, 2005 Author Posted September 22, 2005 Looks like they sold the pair of boots. The link worked earlier today. Jim (formerly known as "JimC")
Bubba136 Posted September 23, 2005 Posted September 23, 2005 Well, perhaps someone captured the jpg address and could post it, if they did. Being mentally comfortable in your own mind is the key to wearing heels in public.
