Bubba136 Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 Can't think of a better way to begin a new year. Now, if you can find a place to wear them. Being mentally comfortable in your own mind is the key to wearing heels in public. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Majo Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 And, as I prefer round numbers I bought these pink pumps. Heel is 10.8cm (4 1/5"). The fit a bit tight, although they were the largest number they sell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danielp6406 Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 ...On my way back y went passed a store were I had been browsing for a pair of sandals but didn't had large numbers. Today they had, so I bought them... Very nice sandals indeed ! What about wearing them barefooted ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Majo Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 It's better barefooted, of course. But, as I was doing the pictures of the pumps too, I didn't take the stalkings off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danielp6406 Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 Majo :-) I envy you being able to wear sandals at this time of year. Here it is -10°C with 1 foot of snow...Brrr ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Majo Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 36°C with 100% moisture... We had 30 inches of rain at dawn! And by noon it was so damp the only way to survive was the swimming pool. I don't like -10°C... but maybe half way in between. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kfsteve391 Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 Your new sandals are beautiful. They look great with your jeans. Majo :-) I envy you being able to wear sandals at this time of year. Here it is -10°C with 1 foot of snow...Brrr ! Here in Arizona it was 74 today. Yes, I wore my sandals as we did grocery shopping today. They made the experience very nice.

danielp6406 Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 36°C with 100% moisture... Here in Arizona it was 74 today... I need to wait another 5 or 6 months to get those temperatures and wear my sandals... It will be hard to wait that long ! (And I hate winter...) For now, I still enjoy wearing some of my HH boots in the snow... (And 74°F: What a perfect temperature !) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roniheels Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 Majo ... I love both pairs of high heels and they look great with your jeans. The pumps are my favorite of the two, but they both look nice. Congratulations on your find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muddypaws Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 Well done finding them. They are both smashing shoes. The siler is very eye-catching. Muddypaws Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't like -10°C... but maybe half way in between. "30 inches of rain at dawn" That's 2½ feet of water. Where do yo live, beneath a waterfall?

Bubba136 Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 No... I misplaced the zero. I iook cm as mm. In total we had 120mm that day as it continued all the afternoon That's still about 5" of rain...enough to cause some large mudslides in the mountains.

Jimnj3 Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 The pictures look fine. Really nice shoes!! Especially like like the blue color. Good luck on the exchange and larger size. Didn't you have the chance to try them for fit before the purchase? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heelguy Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 thanks, im prayingggg they have a larger size! i love them! Well i was served by an older lady, with what i presume and picked up to be old fashioned, straight-laced tendancies as I was the one who asked for the shoes, yet she assumed they were for my female companion who is 5ft nothing. so i decided against trying them on, and it was quite busy too. Im going back tomorrow and if its quiet and i feel comfortable with the person serving me, i may try them on, be a big step forward!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LovesHiHeels Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 You could always try them on in the car and if they don,t fit take them back straight away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HappyFeat Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 Love the blue platform peep toes! Very bold indeed. The remind me of a pair at Aldo in the US from this summer. Hope you truly enjoy them. Style is built from the ground up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shame they don't fit. But a 38.5 (EU i assume) is an australian womens size 6,5. A womens 8 is a size 41 EU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muddypaws Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 Hello Heelguy, I love the shoes in your avatar. I will not buy shoes without trying them on. You must take that step forward. It doesn't matter who or how many are there. DO IT. You will get nothing but praise from anyone near. I have had too many wrong sizes now to know better. The cost of going back, facing the sales assts. etc. Do it every time. Yesterday I went to Matalan and was looking at a pair I have been eyeing for a few weeks, ( I thought they might be at sale price....noooooooo. )and a customer said are you going to put your lady in those? My immediate response was "I'll put myself in them". She walked away. Most people are happy with it. DO It. Muddypaws Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kfsteve391 Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 Pretty heels. That is why it is so important to always try your shoes on first. Make sure they fit before leaving the store. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danielp6406 Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 Ordered these from Spring Shoes today and had them delivered to the store to make sure they fit before I leave the store wearing them http://www.myspringshoes.com/ca-eng/clearance/women/boots/72521040-hirayama/97 I normaly don't order shoes or boots if they don't have my size in the store but after seeing them in size 9, I could not resist. Should get them in a few days... (Can't wait !) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heelguy Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 thanks! yea i will, even if i have to make a trip to the car to try them, but hopefully one day (sooner rather than later) ill try them on in-store. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandy Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 Found at Zappos; Gabriella Rocha Dolly, looks like a Cuban heel in a ankle boot. Sole is thick enough you do not feel every pebble and there is a good foot pad cushion. I bought the black, the tan is a better picture. Heel makes some noise but does not echo down the hallway.
