HappyinHeels Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 (edited) Hey All, Here's my three latest buys. The first two are from Bakers which were clearance shoes and the third pair came from BarefeetShoes which is a small network of stores in the Norfolk,VA, Chicago, and Milwaukee areas of the USA. The first two have 5" heels and the third is a full 6" heel. I really liked the cool blue as I thought it would be cute with bootcut jeans. Can you believe stores are now bringing in boots?? I think there is plenty of summer left even this far north as we have had over 35 days with temps. over 90 F (32 C) this year, eight of which have been 100 F (38 C) or higher! Enjoy!

I went through Reply Options and added one but that was it. Just click the second and third url lines to vieew those pairs. All three pairs only cost me $80 with tax.

danielp6406 Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 Be careful if you click on the "www.barefeetshoes.com" external link on HappyinHeels's post above. If you do so, you may be stuck in a loop always going back to the Barefeetshoes website... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jabble Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 Just got these a few days ago. The heel is about 7 inches high and the platform is about 2 inches. They are very easy to walk in, but start to hurt when standing and/or walking much. They probably will just take some getting used to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evoviii Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 I've been lusting over this pair for a while, finally made the decision to get a pair after they started becomming hard to find. I love ankle straps, so the more the merrier. Wish I had these in red too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RonC Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 Here's a pair I picked up today at DSW. Lulu Townsend Romy Stripe, $39.99. 4" heels. A bit snug in an 11, but then size 11 is almost always that way for me. Unfoortunately, no 12 available, but if it was, that would likely be too big. Just try finding an 11.5...lol.

Very nice indeed! A definite "night on the town" kind of shoe with a dramatic flair that's very dynamic. This is just me, but I wouldn't DARE hide such gorgeous shoes under pants, I'd wear 'em with a dress in a New York minute! In any event, congrats on your purchase, hope you wear those shoes well!

RonC Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 Thanks JeffB. I appreciatethe comments! If I was daring enough to wear a dress, they'd be perfect! In the meanwhile, I'll just enjoy them at home! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockpup Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 Steve63130: My point was about your original statement that you need to wear heels 168 hours per week, and that there are only 168 hours in a week (24x7), so thats wearing heels all day, every day, without rest. Might be a bit overkill. (formerly known as "JimC") Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve63130 Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 Yes, definitely overkill if you wore them 24/7, but I didn't say that the 168 hours needed to be continuous. They certainly don't. It could be 8 hours per day for 21 days or 4 hours a day for 42 days or however you want to log it. By the end of about 168 hours, your leg and foot muscles should be well adjusted and used to functioning in heels so that you don't look awkward and goofy. You want to have skill in moving gracefully and confidently. This time period isn't going to hold for everyone, it's just a guideline. In other words, you can't master heels in 4 hours but it shouldn't take you 1000 hours either. On average it will take most people about 168 hours. Your mileage may vary.

Rockpup Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 . You'll need to log at least 168 hours (a week) of experience to become comfortable You sorta did (formerly known as "JimC") Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dww Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 I don't know where the 168 hours comes from, but I will say it takes me more than that time to wear and be comfortable in some of my heels. The ankle boots I have on now I wear out and about maybe 3 days a week 4-6 hours a day heels a just short of 3 inches in height even after 5 years I can still get caught out sometimes wearing them, going down stairs or maybe a steep ramp. On the plus side I have only ever had one person in all the time I have worn them ask me why I was wearing heels higher than normal and they just said ok fine and that was a man who works in my local mini supermarket. life is not a rehearsal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have a 5" heel no platform but are fine to walk in Unless the viewing angle is very deceptive or you have very large feet, those heels look no more than about 3.5" to me. Are they really a full five (imperial) inches? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerbare Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 (edited) yep they are size 13 but the heel is a full 5" but like a lot of us a size 10.5 to a 11 mens it is a 12-13 womans Edited August 9, 2012 by jerbare Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ilikekicks Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 (edited) Ive had these for a month, first time out in them. They are made by ' Guess ' and were a gift from the other half. Im not a platform kind of guy but these are sort of ' ok '. I like the way they look, but I prefer a classical stiletto or wedge heel with no platform at all. They were a gift, had to wear them out to be respectful. EDIT : YES, Im holding up my elastic waisted pants in the middle picture. Weightloss sux !

SleekHeels Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 I think they're rather stylish, I like the contrast of the cork with the white and they'd look great with jeans or even more formal white trousers too. If I had an other half who gave me gifts like that I'd be delighted ! If you like it, wear it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whats really odd about myself is that I can strut like a stripper in classic stilettos. Platforms seem ' clunky ' and heavy on my feet. These arent ' that bad ' but I wish the soles were of regular thickness. I like the look of those white shoes. They look very nice on you! They are a summer treat, wear them proudly. Happy Heeling, bluejay Thanks and I will wear them. I wore them for about 6 hours last night for a walk on the Waterfront and out to dinner.. then another walk afterwards. I think they're rather stylish, I like the contrast of the cork with the white and they'd look great with jeans or even more formal white trousers too. If I had an other half who gave me gifts like that I'd be delighted ! I do love the way they look, I think the cork material really sets these off rather nicely. Darian tends to buy me things while shes just out running around or shopping. I do the same for her. Were very considerate of each other and it makes things between us highly compatible/thoughtful.

I've tried three different pairs now, and with the obvious exception of a sandal with a quarter strap that held my foot, the others have all pulled off at the heel when I walk - even the pair that was quite snug popped off at the heel. I think I'm done with platforms. BTW, if you ever decide that you no longer want your "other half", tell her I'll be anxiously waiting...lol !

Steve63130 Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 I hope you're pleased with the Pleasers! Many times I've had the anticipation and excitement and then when the shoes come, I'm even more impressed than I thought I'd be, or sadly, sometimes, I'm terribly disappointed. Let us know what you think when you get them. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
