jerbare Posted May 21, 2012 Posted May 21, 2012 (edited) I just counted a couple of days ago I bought 15 new pair of boots and heels in the last 4 months, I think that I need an intervention. The last pair that I bought was Brash Lunma 5" wedge from Payless. They are a nice pair they have a 1 1/2" platform. I was never a big wedge fan but have worn them several times and the nice thing about them is that they dont draw a lot of unwanted att. Edited May 21, 2012 by jerbare
vinheel Posted May 21, 2012 Posted May 21, 2012 The last purchase that i'm wearing today http://www.heels.com/womens-shoes/darek-black-leather.html
niknhose Posted May 21, 2012 Posted May 21, 2012 The most recent pair that I bought was a pair of Lane Bryant Faux Suede Heeled Loafers. I think they are super cute and the pics do not do them justice.
Jkrenzer Posted May 21, 2012 Posted May 21, 2012 The last purchase that i'm wearing today http://www.heels.com...ck-leather.html Nice, but must admitt $209 is outside of my heel budget
HappyinHeels Posted May 22, 2012 Posted May 22, 2012 RonC, Gurnee Mills is 17 miles south of me and I do go there occasiionally but that Bakers is not the one I most frequent which is the one in Wauwatosa, WI. The Gurnee Mills Bakers has few styles in size 11 but I am known to the staff there. Yes, Nine West is gone as is Shoe Carnival. I have been to Of Broadway Shoes and always found more employees than customers which is a sure sign it'll be closing soon. A new store called Encore Shoe Dept. has opned and seems to have larger sizes but don't know much about it. Meanwhile I'd stick with the reliable outlets of DSW in Vernon Hills and Nordstrom Rack for larger sizes. And one of these days, you and I, shall do lunch! HappyinHeels
vinheel Posted May 23, 2012 Posted May 23, 2012 Nice, but must admitt $209 is outside of my heel budget Bought new on ebay at a great price
Foxyheels Posted May 24, 2012 Posted May 24, 2012 We were in Norwich the other week and found a lovely pair of shoes for £20. We decdied to get a pair each and MrsF wore hers out for a birthday meal on Tuesday. Also a new shop called 'Oxygen' has opened in the Highcrss shopping centre. It sell some amazing shoes, most of them are 5'' plus platforms and I love them. I got these the other day when out with MrsF, been after some just like them for a while. I know there not to everyone's taste but I cna live with the mega platform on them as they are so gorgeous. High heels are the shoes I choose to put on, respect my choice as I repect yours.
danielp6406 Posted May 25, 2012 Posted May 25, 2012 At last ! Finally found a classic pump which is wide enough at the toe box. A perfect fit and very comfortable. Looks like they were made for me

Looks like they were made for me Daniel, We're glad you're pleased, but if that's all you're going to tell us, it's just teasing us. At least tell us the brand and style, where you bought it and other relevant facts. Your post isn't very informative without the details. Thanks, Steve
JeffB Posted May 25, 2012 Posted May 25, 2012 At last ! Finally found a classic pump which is wide enough at the toe box. A perfect fit and very comfortable. Looks like they were made for me Tell us more about them! I don't want to LOOK like a woman, I just want to DRESS like a woman!
barney15c Posted May 25, 2012 Posted May 25, 2012 (edited) Saw them on Ebay USA and knew i just had to have them, sod the postage!! They are sold by Payless and are the Brash Komet Platform Pump absolutely gorgeous. don't care if i can't walk in them, these babies are for indoors! It seems there is a run on these especially in the larger sizes. Anybody have any idea on fit? Do they run true to size, i ordered the 13W but might be overkill (I take a mens UK10). Stunning shoes, will buy other colours if i find i can wear a US12W. http://www.payless.c...2_4_490x490.jpg I even found a review on youtube for them - didn't show much of the shoes unfortunately http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rFNMhfZsYDI (Please excuse the legs / feet - though I feel as if this has been said so many times it's a given.) I have just come into a new pair of heels. They're 5 inch silleto heel'd, grey suede pumps. I got them from the eBay shop howcool-4u - Click! Howcool-4u recently has changed a lot of it's selling ways in that they're selling shoes as auctions as opposed to buy-it-nows. I managed to pick up these shoes in a EU 46 (UK Mens 12) for only £9! With an added £15 shipping fee from Germany VIA Parcelforce and it arrived within 2 days! The shoes are very comfortable, which is surprising for a pump like this. At first I thought they looked a bit too "proper" or "old lady" for me, but they soon grew on me within about 5 minutes haha! There really is no con to this shoe apart from like my other pair of red nitelife heels, my heel seems to still slip out the back of this shoe from time to time. My feet are wide to it streches out the shoe and it's my theory that this causes the back to the shoe to become loose too, therefore the heel slipping. However the gap isn't big enough to fit a heel grip in there, as im pratically fighting to get my heel in the shoe sometimes! The craftsmanship on these shoes are always good I find. I have worn my boots out (see below) and they deffinatly do the trick. I would deffinatly reccomend that shoe store, I have another pair of heels from that store as seen below, and they came in record speed, decent quality and nice style too. Really like those pumps Live and Learn, definately my kind of shoe, don't seem to have them on their site unfortuantely. You got yourself a bargain, they practically gave them away (£9) Love them.

Shoe_Diva Posted May 25, 2012 Posted May 25, 2012 These are my new pair of Enzo angiolini Tanen peep to pumps with a hidden platform. The heel is about 5.5 inches.
danielp6406 Posted May 28, 2012 Posted May 28, 2012 (edited) Tell us more about them! Greetings Steve & JeffB :-) They are from Spring Shoes. Model name is Miulana (In the USA, the store name is "Call it Spring") I don't see them on their US website. Follow this link for the Canadian website. Still available in sizes EU40 & EU41.

Heelster Posted May 30, 2012 Posted May 30, 2012 (edited) Stopped by a boutique recently to see what they had interesting. Didn't see much, but the manager asked what I was looking for. I mentioned that I was keeping an eye out for two Ellie designs. She thought maybe she could order them in for me. Well - called back about a week later and she told me they were already in house. About a week later I made it back to the store. Here is what she had for me to try on. http://www.ellieshoe...OD_CD=652-LUCIA http://www.ellieshoe...CD=601-JULIET-M The lucia slingback fit great. Only problem is that the buckle is not really funtional except for adjustment. The elastic isn't well connected so I see issues here. Otherwise, they fit great. May need some longer jeans for this pair although I have to wonder - - skinny jeans - - Hmmmmm. The camo pair on the other hand would go on my foot even though they were the same size. Kinda thought the Camo pair would be appropriate. Wife joked that I could actually wear them outside around the hose with people around and nobody would notice - - we live in the woods, and I already have camo attire. Edited May 30, 2012 by Heelster
Steve63130 Posted May 30, 2012 Posted May 30, 2012 Heelster, you need to wear these tights with those camo shoes: http://www.glieberman.com/a894-thermofabric-camouflage-tights-with-fly-new/ Steve
Heelster Posted May 31, 2012 Posted May 31, 2012 Well - - Since the camo shoes didn't fit, guess I won't be needing them, but I will keep those tights in mind. If they offer the heels in a bit larger size - Yep, I'm getting them.
gibby Posted May 31, 2012 Posted May 31, 2012 Recently went to Famous Footwear and purchased the Fergalicious Penny high heel with a 4 inch heel in black. My opinion it is very comfortable and very strappy! I like that And easy to walk in. I asked the sales girl what she thought and she has a pair herself and she was very helpful and we had a nice conversation about sandals and pumps. She was not the least bothered by me trying on the sandals and heels Talked about 15 minutes and she was doing inventory so i did not want to bug her even tho she said i was not. purchased my high heels and drove home and i soon as i walked in the apartment those sandals were on my feet and i am wearing them as i reply to the post. I do notice now how easy it is to walk in heels now and i love the height of the Fergies because they are a 4 inch heel no platform and the design is how a basic strappy sandal should look I just need to get over the worry of going out in public because i would love to show my sandals to an unsupecting public a little step at a time. Thanks again high heel place I noticed Happyinheels has the Bakers cecilia wedge sandal I do too. And they are a nice wedge sandal. I am also a size 10 they are a little tight on the middle of my arch did try out a thick pair of socks to loosen the area up seems to of helped Have them in the white and they are sexy! cant say enough about Bakers shoes. Love them.
hhthglvr Posted June 1, 2012 Posted June 1, 2012 I love high heel thomgs but they don't seem to be in fashion at this time. I am looking at a pair of high heel wedge sandals that I can share with my wife
ilikekicks Posted June 3, 2012 Posted June 3, 2012 (edited) Bought a pair of white/cork shoes made by ' Guess ' today. Pics to come. Edited June 3, 2012 by ilikekicks REPEATEDLY ARGUMENTATIVE, INSULTING AND RUDE. BANNED FOR LIFE.
DeSalto Posted June 3, 2012 Posted June 3, 2012 My newest purchase: pink wedges in cork, 5 inches high. Pics of mine wearing them soon. No shoe is better than a sexy pair of stilettos!
HBheels Posted June 5, 2012 Posted June 5, 2012 (edited) My Newest. Well these just came in the mail. Yay! Edited June 5, 2012 by HBheels
bluejay Posted June 6, 2012 Posted June 6, 2012 HBheels, Very nice pictures of your shoes. The first picture also shows that you have nice looking legs too. In picture #2 , I see that you have your jeans rolled up, which is very much in fashion today with women. I am going to try that look myself. I already wear carpis and cropped pants so that look will fit in too. Keep the pictures coming! Happy Heeling, bluejay
DeSalto Posted June 6, 2012 Posted June 6, 2012 (edited) Really nice wedges. Loved them! More views from different angles ? Edited June 6, 2012 by DeSalto No shoe is better than a sexy pair of stilettos!
HBheels Posted June 6, 2012 Posted June 6, 2012 I can do that as soon as I get my camera up and running again as well as getting someone else to take the photos....I am sadly not that flexible lol. Also Bluejay those are capris that came like that when I bought them but I do have a pair of skinny jeans I will roll up to get a nice look as well.
