chris100575 Posted November 18, 2006 Posted November 18, 2006 How much is "too expensive" and can you do mail order? Chris
Dr. Shoe Posted November 18, 2006 Posted November 18, 2006 I can't either. You can get some good bargains on Ebay if you look and have a bit of patience. Graduate footwear designer able to advise and assist on modification and shoe making projects.
WobbleFan Posted November 19, 2006 Posted November 19, 2006 Why don't you try Alternative Footwear at http://www.af-uk.com/ I like the way the do business. WobbleFan
balletboots Posted November 19, 2006 Posted November 19, 2006 You could try http://www.bananashoes.com/ But beware, I bought a pair of size 12 shoes but the heel was 7" although they were advertised as being 6". Try phoning them and ask them to measure the heel in your size.
taliheels Posted November 19, 2006 Posted November 19, 2006 try united footwear they have branches in several major uk cities - lots of very high gorgeous heels
balletboot2000 Posted November 23, 2006 Posted November 23, 2006 Alternative footwear have always helped me out I love the feel of that ultimate lift!
Dr. Shoe Posted November 23, 2006 Posted November 23, 2006 And the prices aren't too bad either... Graduate footwear designer able to advise and assist on modification and shoe making projects.
chris100575 Posted November 23, 2006 Posted November 23, 2006 I've visited Alternative Footwear several times, and always found Donna to be friendly and helpful. Very good for reasonably priced fetish shoes. Chris
jo Posted November 24, 2006 Posted November 24, 2006 If you ever get to London, then there are a dozen shops in Camden High Street alone that can sort you out, and then there are several dozen more dotted around the capital. In fact, any major city should have at least one; especially look for anywhere that advertises any Goth clothing as a starter, as they often also carry a range of very high heels too.
JNR Posted November 24, 2006 Posted November 24, 2006 How about trying Peachies? (Heelfan's daughter.)
Dr. Shoe Posted November 24, 2006 Posted November 24, 2006 How about trying Peachies? (Heelfan's daughter.) No website (yet) and I think she's outside his radius otherwise it would have the top of my list of recommendations...

Fog Posted November 24, 2006 Posted November 24, 2006 Totally off topic, but in a spirit of helpfulness I googled 'fetish shoes newcastle' and came up with this http://www.apotropaios.co.uk/june_swann_concealed_shoes.htm an essay on shoes hidden in buildings. Isn't the internet wonderful!
Heelfan Posted November 26, 2006 Posted November 26, 2006 Try contacting my daughter Mel and her fetish shoe shop "Peachy" at 10 Perry Road, central Bristol: telephone 0117 3309090 or peachyshoes@yahoo.co.uk or send her a PM to "Peachy" via this forum. The reason that many 5" and 6" heels are expensive is that they are usually in good genuine leather and usually have to be especially handmade by small specialist workshops which means about £60-70 upwards. However, the foot can then "breathe" without getting clammy, and they last for years. As an alternative, Mel is in the process of stocking an equally attractive-looking but imitation leather range that should (we hope) retail at about half of that price. Mel has always welcomed visitors to her Peachy shop and her discreet private fitting-room, but also she is currently developing a website for internet sales too. Also, we will organise a Heelmeet for Forum members there during 2007. Cheers, Heelfan Onwards and upwards!
