Bubba136 Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 The pants look comfortable. Love the pumps. Combination looks good. 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...

Chopping out for hinges and breaking in my new oxfords. Feeling the strain after a few hours of lugging around 35kg doors! Doors all stained and fitted. Good excuse to try my new pumps for size! All 'seams' OK, so time to relax with a glass of wine and admire our new doors. Love those heel oxfords they are my favourite. Can't imagine doing what you are in heels around the house must be very comfortable. Suppose you need a challenge or have strong ankles careful not scratching those heels. Thanks for sharing.

Jkrenzer Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 On the Oxford ankle boots are those the 5 or 5.5 inch heels. I am thinking of ordering a pair and really like the heel on the ones you have on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see that, until 31 Jan, it is offering a 35% discount on shoes (code SHOES16) and 30% on boots (code BOOTS16). (One hopes that the heels are not also reduced accordingly!) I also note that its products are stated to come up small and buying one size larger than normal is recommended - so anyone wanting the largest advertised size (UK12 = Eu45) might have to be careful - especially as UK12 is more normally Eu46. Why doesn't Skyscrapers describe the sizes accurately if it admits to them all being small? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both the oxfords and pumps are 5.5" heel. 2 hours ago, Puffer said: Why doesn't Skyscrapers describe the sizes accurately if it admits to them all being small? It's always so difficult to advise on size/fit between manufacturers/styles as it's such a personal thing. I have a few pairs of Skyscrapers, and personally have found them fairly accurate to ladies sizing, at least in my size UK8/EU41. I do however prefer my heels a snug fit, and when new generally feel too small, but soon feel fine after a bit of use......they are all leather uppers so this helps. Perhaps need to watch the width as they are a ladies last after all! Half sizes are available on all their range which is a bonus....the oxfords and a pair of knee boots I have are UK8.5....useful as I have the option to wear socks with these when cold. I'm a UK9 in men's 'boats' by the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For a first pair you certainly did pick a stylish pair. That very narrow heel and long pointed toe look fine but may present a problem when walking in them especially for the first time. I suggest getting a milder style with a broader heel and an less pointy toe and become comfortable and graceful walking in them and then come back to this pair. Boots are easier to walk in then pumps. It is fun to look down and see your feet in a pair of pumps but it is even more fun to walk in them. Get into this hobby slowly. It takes time and practice to get it right. But most important :Enjoy your heels. I dream of a world where chickens can cross roads without having their motives questioned.

Steve63130 Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 Stiletto15, Welcome to this forum! Those are serious heels (and toes) on those pumps! Heed TBG's caution and be careful when you walk in those. If you're not used to heels with long toes, they could trip you. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say my Skyscraper shoes are comfortable......well as comfy as any 5.5" heel can be! The classic heel shape puts the centre of gravity nicely under your leg, so easier to walk in, and can be worn all day if you have the stamina. For anything higher I personally prefer something with a super arch such as Peter Chu/6 Inch Heels Forever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hh4evr1 Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 They are nice for a first pair. my first pair were 4" stiletto courts/pumps in black leather. You may broaden the style you like, like I and many others have. i bought quite a few pairs of stilettos. Then brought thicker heeled boots as they are less obvious when wearing heels in public.

Actually, I have a pair of JLo boot's very similar, and they are one of the most comfortable boots I have. Also rather quiet, which is kinda hard to believe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
