nzfreestyler Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 Nice shoe! Yeh - if you've got other Steve Maddens they're all true to size. They'll fit based on other for sure! Hopefully you've got others. If not I've found they're generous sized, and medium width (I go down a size but thats because I've a narrow foot) I Like Steve Madden heels, they're well made and always consistent sized across the styles.

Cali Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 NZ, I have many Steve Madden, Madden Girl, and Freebird heels. Only about 70% of their shoes fit. I have a large girth toe box, both wide AND tall. At the same time I have a narrow heel. My large girth toe box meant I would have to get a size or two large men's shoes and 4W wide. Thus my heel just swam in shoes and I could never plant, pivot, etc. correctly. Results: 100's of sprained ankles and 3 major ankle reconstructions. No ankle problems since I switch to women's shoes in 2011 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think i have sudden plantar fasciitis recent ankle problem difficult to walk, didn't sprain it nor injury myself doing anything other than standing for long time in male sneakers. With your large girth toe box how can you wear narrow womens shoes even heels? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swedeheeler Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 Ordered those beauties yesterday, for €60 I couldn't resist. Specially when the old price was around €220. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think i have sudden plantar fasciitis recent ankle problem difficult to walk, didn't sprain it nor injury myself doing anything other than standing for long time in male sneakers. With your large girth toe box how can you wear narrow womens shoes even heels? After my third ankle reconstruction I started researching male running shoes with narrow heels. They don't make them. I found out that "men's shoes are make in a rectangular shape toe about as wide as heels, women's shoes are wider at the toe and narrow at the heel. So I got a clearance pair of women's New Balance and they fit better that any male running shoe. Haven't bought men's shoes since. Part of my girth is a high arch and a high heel absorbs some of that. I also have better balance as a result. Edited July 31, 2017 by Cali Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MackyHeels Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 Yes we can, only problem is girls don't enjoy or care for us to wear them, heels or tight jeans even pantyhose and skirt no matter or very least accept it without bemused grin or giggle or cackle roaring laugh. Call it envy, jealousy but i find most woman are conditioned to respond in negative manner at least some to regards of our fashion style. Heels look sexy no matter who wears them yet to bad some can't get over the fact men wearing them. Struggle we face.. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are showing up one heck of a great image there, makes me jealous On the other side. I'm running short on big sizings, but that makes my bank account happier I do not wear in public, not in the closest surroundings by 150 km at least.

spikesmike Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 JKrenzer: I was mowing the grass in my back yard, next to my pond. It had rained the day before and the grass was slippery. I lost my footing on the slope at the pond. My foot went under the mower and the blades did the rest. Not bad considering I only lost the two (2) toes. The toes have not grown back yet. All of this on July 28, 1990. I have never had a problem walking in flats or high heels. However, I can stand in my ballets, but not walk. spikesmike 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rockpup Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 Michael Kors Susan Flex pump. Leather upper with rubber sole/heel tip. So far comfortable and quiet. These might be my practical go to shoes for a bit as with 'feels like' temps over 100, boots are getting a bit warm. 8 (formerly known as "JimC") Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
