Lime15 Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 Wow there have been some nice purchases in this thread lately. Last night a bit of a rarity arrived in the mail, a pair of TUK heels that will actually fit me. A few years ago they manufactured some of their styles in larger sizes for Torrid but the partnership was short-lived and, rather unfortunately, at the time I wasn't buying heels for myself. Well I was finally able to acquire a pair of their heeled creepers in 12W, about the best I'm going to do for my size 13 feet. The condition wasn't as good as I was lead to believe, which irritated me a little bit. However they fit! After a little clean up I'm pretty satisfied except for some damage and scratches to the outside of both heels, one worse than the other. How the heck do you uniformly gouge up the OUTSIDE of a heel that much... anyway. I wear TUK's unisex creeper sneakers all the time and some of the pop art styles from years ago are easily some of my favorite shoes I own. Finally having a heeled pair is awesome. Fit over all is very nice although I could stand to have them be a hair longer but I may lightly pad the front inside as my big toe presses against the hard upper just a bit. I know it's not a style for everyone but I really do like them. I tried them on with black slacks last night when I got home from work and really liked that look as well so I may wear these out at one point.

bluejay Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 Very nice Lime15. I would wear them out, too. I like the heel style and they look very comfortable to wear. The white trim add to the style. Hope you enjoy wearing them. A good purchase! Happy Heeling,bluejay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shirazmn Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 After a looooong while without buying anything, yesterday I found these in a size UK9 / 43 while shopping with my wife. http://www.newlook.com/shop/shoe-gallery/view-all-wide-fit/wide-fit-teal-pointed-ankle-strap-court-shoes-_295498947 They were 7£ (about 10 USD) so they came home with me If you are interested, they still have a few pairs in the same New Look shop in Exford Street (the one with Starbucks inside), fourth floor at the very bottom where all the sale items are (sorry for the details, but I know some of us don't like to browse around too much).

shirazmn Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Thanks everyone.By the way, "Exford" Street is Oxford Street and I was talking about London. It's pretty obvious I shouldn't post 5 minutes after waking up... :$ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, maninpumps. I wore them with a pair of trouser socks today and that pretty much alleviated the stiff toe issue. Pretty comfortable as well for a shoe with a platform as I've notice the soles flex JUST enough to make them feel more single soled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffB Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 JeffB , Thanks for the pictures and review . I have to get the Thatcher style , they look great. You're welcome. Of the two, I have to say the Thatchers are my favorite, but I look forward to wearing both come spring. I don't want to LOOK like a woman, I just want to DRESS like a woman!

ilikekicks Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 For some odd reason ( might be the pictures perspective ), it appears like you have shorter legs ( probably not true at all ). Im betting with your physique you could rock a pair of Thigh highs! REPEATEDLY ARGUMENTATIVE, INSULTING AND RUDE. BANNED FOR LIFE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hiheellover23 Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 Thanks I've tried rocking thigh highs before but my thighs were a little too big. And the boots were too tight I couldn't walk or sit down so I gave up that notion of thigh highs. If you ever come across some definitely hit me up!!! What ya see is what ya get no more or less!!

SF Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 Sub Title: My first pair of pumps I have always been a sandal guy. But, recently I have been looking for a pair of "perfect" pumps for the winter and spring. I figured I would give pumps a try and see how I like them. After looking for quite some time, I found a pair of pumps at Aerosoles called "Magical Power." So, I went to my local Aerosoles store to check them out in person. The staff at the store was very helpful, but they did not have my size. I wear a size 11 in Aerosoles sandals, but the size 11 in the pump was a bit to tight, so I ordered a size 12 pair to be sent to my house. They arrived a few days later and I absolutely love them!! The shoes fit perfectly, and are very comfortable. The leather is soft and the shoe is very flexible, almost like being barefoot. The heel is low (only 1 1/2 inches) which is fine for me, since I am sort of tall to begin with. The loafer style has a casual and dressy look to it. The wife says they look like "granny shoes" but the gal at the Aerosoles store said the style is very popular. I don't care, I like 'em. I wrote a review of the shoes at the Aerosoles site and they published it in its entirety. I am still a "sandal guy" but these pumps will do well during the winter months. Take care all…. sf "Why should girls have all the fun!!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mlroseplant Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 I really like that style as well. I have a couple similar pairs, albeit with a much higher heel, which is fine, because I'm kind of short to begin with. See how that works out? Good show, SF.

Steve63130 Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 SF, I read your review and it was very well written. I am glad you like the pumps and I am glad that Aerosoles published your review in its entirety. I had seen those pumps before, but never tried them on. I may have to consider doing so. They do look kinda cool, and most of the reviews give them high ratings. Enjoy wearing them, and thanks for the post. BTW I clicked on helpful on the review.

AZShoeNut Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Howdy, Well, I have mentioned in another thread that I have lost some weight recently. Yeah, better health is a motivator however slightly smaller shoes size is even better. Most of the last ten years or more I have been limited to 12W shoes from Payless or Torrid. I have tried other brands in size 12M and they just don't work. So as I have been losing weight I have noticed that I am starting to flip shoes off my feet as I walk. So today I went into a Last Chance and scored a pair of 4.5-inch heel black patent pumps from Steve Madden for only $10. I cannot tell you how many awesome pairs of Steve Madden shoes I have passed on because their size 12 M will not fit. Now they do!! I am very excited about that. Only if Steve Madden still offered their heels in 12M. eBay and charity stores here I came. I also am looking forward to heading out to the NIne West outlets that we have here in Phoenix.

geot Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 I was lusting after some nude pumps a while back and bought these but wasn't able to get pictures until now... I got them from sexyshoes.com, style 7397. They seem fairly comfortable so far for such high heels, and I think I may get some of the other colors available; spring is coming and the seafoam and coral pumps are quite appealing, although I quite like these black pumps... feisty!

Jkrenzer Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Yeah 10 should be more than fine. Judging by those amazing pumps in your avatar, you'd love them. The other day I was browsing the site and they had 50% off codes listed so keep an eye out for incredible deals!From a couple days back. I received my size 10's and they fit pretty good as you suggested they would. Strangly tight to slide into but comfortable once fully in/ My dissappointment though is the quality is actually not very good. Check your heels at the interface where the heel tap is inserted in. In my left shoe there is a vertical crack, more like a split. I may return them but they were the last pair so I may try to repair them instead, haven't decided yet, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
