heelshhboy Posted August 22, 2006 Posted August 22, 2006 Hello, i have always been a fan of the Scream pump shoes with or without the ankle strap. But every time i see somewalking walking in them on a video, they look a litle silly, (meaning, the heel tip is too close to the ball of the foot part of the shoe) I was wondering if anyone had a picture of them from the side in a UK size 9 so I can see if i like the look before I buy them.
johnieheel Posted August 22, 2006 Posted August 22, 2006 First of all, I would never try to buy anything from how cool.com again.They lie and take your money. Second, if you want to kill your feet,walk in those shoes for about 20 minutes. Some shoes were made for-play, if you know what I mean and not so much for walking. real men wear heels
onyourtoes Posted August 22, 2006 Posted August 22, 2006 My experiences with How Cool have been varied. Their main problem seems to be if you order something that's out of stock and not in stock at the supplier either. I kept after them and when I said long enough, they offered either a refund or discount on another style. The best way to order through them is on the phone, then they can check stock. I've also had an order arrive in 4 days. I had a pair of Scream shoes a few years ago. First of all, they run large. Second, on my size 11s the heels were a full 7 inches high. I'm probably better than many at extreme heels and was able to walk short distances without that lurching walk you see so often in the videos. But they're about as high as a heel can get without needing a platform. Also, they're extremely noisy and make dents in almost any floor surface. In other words, a great pair of shoes!
asdf174 Posted August 23, 2006 Posted August 23, 2006 I have a pair in red. However they fit me deffernt then my other pumps. They're too big. like a 1/2-whole size too big. Though they are the same size as my other pumps. But I sitll like them a lot. I think the'yre sexy. It's all good. ~Arron.
TXT-1 Posted August 23, 2006 Posted August 23, 2006 I like the look of them however... if they had a slighly thicker heel I'd like them a bit more... I was going to get a pair of the ankle stap ones and a pair of Domina 420's in red patent rather than my new "avatars" having carpet I decided not to get them - due to their "carpet rooting" status! the domina 420 is STILL on my list however! but at 13/14 US womens the'd probably be 7 1/4"! later, TXT-1

Them shoes ain't made for walking. :x Can't see how they'd be too kind to the flooring either. Keep on stepping, Guy N. Heels
WobbleFan Posted September 22, 2006 Posted September 22, 2006 But every time i see somewalking walking in them on a video, You have videos of people walking in Screem shoes? Please share them! Thanks, WobbleFan PS: As of last wednesday, I onw a pair of Scream 18 oxfords. Let's say I'm able to make it across the room without breaking my neck. Wouldn't call it walking though. These are *SO* high.

dr1819 Posted September 26, 2006 Posted September 26, 2006 Uh... Ditto. Real heel-wearing experience comes when you realize that it's not the height of the heel that matters, but rather, the long-term enjoyability (including comfort) you experience from wearing heels. Six inch heels are a very poor match for long-term enjoyability. My current favorites are 3-1/2" ankle boots that look like cowboy boots beneath my jeans. They fit like a dream. My seconds are 3-3/4" suede round-toe boots that similarly look like normal men's shoes beneath a pair of jeans. Following that are a pair of 4" black leather knee-highs that I can walk ten miles in without issues, and a pair of 4" two-strap wedge sandals I wear around the house. My favorite pair of heels, all time, were a pair of black leather, 3-1/2" boots with a typical heel, located more forward than most modern heels. I could, and did, wear them 24/7, at all occasions, including professional.
johnieheel Posted September 27, 2006 Posted September 27, 2006 First of all, I don't think Screem shoes were made for walking, and second, I would never order anything from {How not so cool.} They lied to me for 6 weeks,kept a re-stocking fee and never batted an eye or tried in the slightest way to make good. Oh, never did see the boots I ordered. real men wear heels

balletboot2000 Posted September 29, 2006 Posted September 29, 2006 I've been out in mine, although not very far. If you get them a size too big and put some padding under the ball of your foot, they are walkable in, UNTIL you find a downhill slope. They're good fun, but you've got to watch where your going, and driving in them is interesting, BB I love the feel of that ultimate lift!
chris100575 Posted September 29, 2006 Posted September 29, 2006 I've tried on a pair of the Scream shoes, but don't actually own any. I do have a pair of the Domina shoes with six inch heels though, they're a lot of fun! Not practical in any sense, but fun to totter in. Oddly enough my cousin tried them on a few weeks back and could walk pretty well in them. Chris
balletboot2000 Posted October 11, 2006 Posted October 11, 2006 I agree with DR 1819, to wear all the time, my 4" heeled boots from Bronx are really comfortable, but I love my Screams for the fun of wearing a ridiculous heel, you just need to be careful outside with the thin heel I love the feel of that ultimate lift!
