radiodave Posted June 20, 2006 Posted June 20, 2006 On Sunday my girlfriend and I went over to her folks for Father's Day dinner, and I had been wearing my black gladiator-style flat sandals from Payless. She said they looked very nice with jeans and said I should keep them on when we go over. Even with a toe ring on, I may as well have been wearing the most garden variety guy's shoes, because they didn't even blink an eye. Nice to know nobody cares too much if I think that some strappy sandals that happen to come in women's sizes look nicer (and fit me better) than the chunky, ugly things in the men's section.
radiodave Posted June 20, 2006 Author Posted June 20, 2006 Pics. The heels are the sandals I'd like to wear, the flats are the ones mentioned above
iggy_ze Posted June 21, 2006 Posted June 21, 2006 Love both of those shoes. Anyone know where to get similar styles in the UK? Ian
shoefan76 Posted June 21, 2006 Posted June 21, 2006 hi iggy_ze try brantano or somewhere similar, i seem to have seen something like that in matalan or brantano, the bonus is you can try the shoes on in store as they have a self serve type shelving with all the shoes on. good luck
Danielinheels Posted June 21, 2006 Posted June 21, 2006 radiodave, the gladiator style sandals are actually a unisex style - they are marketed in the womens section, but were modeled after a style made popular by men. When you can get them unadorned, as you have, then there is no issue. having said that, I don't like them on me (make my feet look huge) but they look great on you Be yourself; everyone else is already taken. - Oscar Wilde
MelyssaTG Posted June 22, 2006 Posted June 22, 2006 I thought about getting them formyself, but after seeing them, i dont want them now. It's just not my style, but look good though. PS, I'm just curious and this is a whole new topic, and I'm gonna create a new post for it but, what do people think of you wearing toerings as a guy? I have ben doing it for 8 years Courtney
radiodave Posted June 22, 2006 Author Posted June 22, 2006 Hi Courtney, I don't think I've had the slightest bit of flak over toe rings. My girlfriend thinks they look nice. Interestingly enough, I see them ring up as "unisex" on receipts when I've bought them, and one saleslady even mentioned I should get a second one since they had a two for one deal going . I would say they probably don't attract any more attention than when women wear them, and I've seen other guys wear them too. Welcome, by the way .
Dawn HH Posted June 22, 2006 Posted June 22, 2006 Iggy_ze:-) I'm not much on the gladiator style sandals pictured above, but I do like the heeled style. Welcome to the Forum. Cheers--- Dawn HH High Heeled Boots Forever!
DeSalto Posted June 22, 2006 Posted June 22, 2006 Radiodave Those strappy high heeled sandals are something! Very very nice! DeSalto No shoe is better than a sexy pair of stilettos!
radiodave Posted June 23, 2006 Author Posted June 23, 2006 Thanks DeSalto! I like them too, they're quite comfortable.
mulesrock Posted June 30, 2006 Posted June 30, 2006 That's a nice strappy heeled sandals, Wonder where you got them at, would love to include them in my collection. Not a big fan on the gladiator style though.
radiodave Posted June 30, 2006 Author Posted June 30, 2006 Hi Mulesrock, I found them at a mall store called The Shoe Dept.. It appears that Baker's has the same style though. http://www.bakersshoes.com/shopping/product/detailmain.jsp?itemID=10001&itemType=PRODUCT&iMainCat=106&iSubCat=129&iProductID=10001
mulesrock Posted June 30, 2006 Posted June 30, 2006 Appreciate the link radiodave. Looks like they have a nice selection. Thanks.
