inquisitor Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Great style, Steve! I really like them. They only have size 10, so unless they really stretch, I'm out of luck. Here's a few I picked up over the last couple of weeks.

RonC Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Steve, nice looking pair of sandals. inquisitor, your selections are nice as well. While not a platform fan, those tend to be relatively small platforms so they look pretty decent to my eye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lime15 Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 I've found myself intrigued by these new pumps from Pleaser, the pointy toed "Classique". While I love how sexy these shoes look, I wonder, and worry about whether or not the 4 inch needle heels would be strong enough to support my 225 pounds, never mind the inevitable bother of getting such thin heels caught in sidewalk cracks. Opinions? Wow, those look outstanding. If you do order, please report back on size / fit. I've purchased a couple new pairs over the past week. First are the lace up booties from Hot Tomato. This brand can have criminally small sizing but I've had great luck as of late and these fit very nicely in my usual 13M. The laces are a little harsh on the tops of my feet so I may trade them out for something softer but other than that I can't complain. I've noticed these are all over eBay right now for $50 - $90, insane for the low / mid quality of this brand. The other pair is Carla from RSVP in blue suede. I have a pair of these in black patent under the Type Z brand (I'm pretty sure they're brand names of the same group) that fit great so I knew I'd be good to go. These actually ended up being free. When the box arrived I noticed it had a Polaroid of the shoes taped to the outside of the shoebox (taken in a bathroom at that), were obviously worn and had a heel pad stuck in each. I e-mailed Zappos service to complain that I was shocked no one in their returns department could take a moment to look over said return before shipping them back out as new merchandise. The rep responded to me and said they would refund my full purchase and to go ahead and keep the shoes as an apology. Getting those stupid heel pads out took quite a bit of work and they left behind a bit of residue but it is working itself out. Also, hey, free is free. All I was looking for was an apology for the disappointment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lime15 Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 Lime: I've been curious about Type Z. How are they in terms of fit and comfort? Pretty good in my experience, I like them a lot better than any of the Payless offerings to be honest. Funny thing is I have that exact same style in black patent and blue seude. The black patent pair is 13W while the blue are 13M. They are exactly the same other than the 13W pair having a slightly vertically larger toebox. As I remarked when I bought the 13W's (because they were super cheap) I'd hate to see what a13M was like as they were essentially straight up 13's. In this case they're based on the same sole and for all intents and purposes fit exactly the same. I also have a pair of similar "Spencer" platforms from RSVP (more or less the same shoe except the small platform isn't hidden and the toe point is smooth) in brown leather that are 13W and I'll say all three shoes fit the same. Very comfortable, and are good to go with or without hosiery. Seems the main complaint about both "brands" is that the wide really isn't a wide. In my case that's an advantage.

robbiehhw Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Eric Michael - " Sadies" purchased last week. Very comfy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve63130 Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Robbie, Thanks for posting pics. I like that "Sadie" shoe very much. The perforated upper looks very comfortable and breatheable and would keep your feet cool in warmer weather. The sole and heel are exactly the kind of shapes that I like and wear a lot in public. I suspect my wife would not like the very thin ankle strap on me, though. But I see some other styles in this brand that are worth exploring. I had not heard of Eric Michaels before. Made in Portugal. Do they fit true to size? If so, I'd need a 43 (US Women's 12) and that style doesn't come in 43. If it were an open toe style, I can usually get away with a 42 (11).

robbiehhw Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Hi Steve, Thanks! Really liking them and helping me to feel spring-like today. I'm wearing a 41, because the 40 seemed a tad tight but overlall pretty true to size. It does seem like the toe box has stretched out a bit from a few days of wear but not in a bad way.

Steve63130 Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 In February I fell in love (or lust) with a brand new style from Naturalizer called "Dahnny." (Who thinks up these names???) At $100 they were way more than I wanted to spend, but I found a 30% off coupon at Shoemall.com and bought them. They're really nice and I look forward to spring. I was invited to write a review, which I did, and of course they posted it, just as I wrote it. It's at: http://www.shoemall.com/p/naturalizer-dahnny-womens/?color=Black-White&utm_source=Criteo&utm_medium=Display&utm_campaign=Display#ReviewHeader But of course, once the shoe is sold out, that link won't work, so here is the review: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 5.0 Awesome sandals By Steve from Central Ohio About Me Stylish Pros Comfortable Easy to walk in Good height Soft And Rich Leather Cons Best Uses Comments about Naturalizer Dahnny (Women's): This style caught my eye and even though it was more expensive than most shoes I buy, I ordered it. They were delivered quickly and I've worn these sandals for 2 weeks now, indoors because of the cold and snow. I can't wait for spring so I can wear them outside, with bootcut jeans and a short sleeve top. I own about 10-12 pairs of Naturalizer heels and these have to be among the top in comfort and quality. The arch is in the right place, the heel height (3.5 inches on Size 11W) is great for walking, and the buttery soft leather feels awesome - in fact they were comfortable right out of the box. They're easy to slip on and off and should be easy to keep in good shape, too. Thanks for carrying bigger size shoes for fashion forward people like me who really appreciate the fun of wearing heels! Even my wife loves them! Sizing: Feels true to size Width: Feels true to width View On Shoes: I'm Really Into Shoes Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ I may have stretched the truth when I said my wife loves them. Substitute the word "tolerates." Maybe I'll go to the Naturalizer web site and review them there, too. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. X Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 Here is my latest find. I picked these up in a local thrift shop. The color is a shiny grey. Almost suede like. The color in the picture is a little off, but it is close. The brand is Nine West and the heel measures 4 inches. They are super comfortable and show lots of toe cleavage. And here is the best part. I paid 5 bucks plus tax for them! Can't wait to take them on some outings this spring and summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MackyHeels Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 Bought these at the store what fun i had, first time shopper. Their Nubuck suede and tight around the ankles goes well with skinny's and straight leg jeans. Although i find them contouring my ankles just like they should but unhappy at the look being to formal. So now i'm looking for other ankle booties with the same type of three inch block heel. Ones i'm looking for shorter then these boot shaft of six inch. Thinking of buying these Rag & bone beauties..? They have a shorter boot shaft maybe slightly higher heel and steeper angle of the back heel unlike the other above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
