Those heels are amazing (what brand, height?) - and the fact that they are from your gf makes them even more special! When are you going to make an honest woman out of her JK! The brand is "Call It Spring" with the particular shoe model being Gwydda. The heel is 11cm high which is perfect for me. As for making an honest woman out of her, she has been VERY patient for the last 9 1/2 years now, so it is definitely needed soon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve63130 Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 I recently bought two pair of low-heeled shoes from Clarks. Their "Rosalyn Belle" is a pump, which I bought in brown (as they didn't have 12W in black), but it turns out I really like the color, so I'm glad it worked out. The second pair is "Rosalyn Wren" mary janes in black. Both of these have 2" block heels, are real leather, and are amazingly comfortable. I rarely buy shoes this expensive; both list for $110. The Belle I found on 6pm.com (Zappos' clearance outlet) for $45 and the Wren I found on ShoeMall.com for $76. I got an email confirmation from both companies and got the Belle right away, but didn't hear anything from ShoeMall for a couple of days. When I went to the web site to check the status, I was horrified to find out they cancelled my order! Just like that! No email, no notification as to why, no apology, no nothing. I was really dismayed. On ClarksUSA.com and other web sites (Zappos.com and Shoes.com for example) the Wren don't qualify for the 30% discount or whatever they offer, for some reason, so I was glad to find that on ShoeMall they gave me the discount. Then they took away the discount AND the shoes. No 12W were available any more. I was really irritated to be treated so badly so I wrote them a nastygram to complain. No reply yet. I ended up buying the Wren at Zappos.com and paying full price with a $5.00 discount. So for that price, I figured I better be impressed. Well, it turns out I really am! There was no break-in needed. The Wren fit like a glove and are very easy to walk in. I've worn them all day several times. Today, I went with my wife to attend a hearing in Columbus at the statehouse, and of course, nobody noticed. We went to lunch, to a museum, to Starbucks, and walked all over. These are great shoes for walking and for all day wear. The Belle pumps are great, too, but are a bit wide in the back for me, so at first they tended to slip off my heel. But as I've worn them they have become more flexible and now stay on much better. I wore them all day yesterday, to the office, to lunch, to the pub for drinks before dinner, and to the dining room for dinner. I really like the looks and how they feel. I know most of you who love stilettos or 5" heels won't be impressed, but these shoes are a first for me in an important way. They show the top of my foot fully exposed (save the strap on the mary janes) and I've never dared to wear such heels in public. Everything previous was clogs, boots or loafer pumps which covered the instep. What prompted me to push my envelope is that in recent months I've added some ballet flats and flat mary janes to my collection and have worn those in public with no comments or iDrops from anyone (at least that I noticed). So I've become much bolder than before, and that's a big step (and a big instep!) for me in my journey. So if any of you want to take the next step like I have, I highly recommend Clark's shoes like these. They are a wonderful addition to my wardrobe!

HappyinHeels Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 Sydheel, Couldn't help but notice your toes are exactly the same colour as mine! Good choice my friend. Mine had been more of a harvest orange and I just changed the colour some three days ago. It is just a bit cooler where I live though this time of year (maximum today was -4C/25F).

Cali Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 (edited) Been watching the Steve Madden website for the right time to get these with the best discount I could.

hh4evr1 Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 My latest pair. Brand new, but from a charity shop. I went in to buy something else and just as I saw them a lady picked them up. She tried them on, but they didn’t fit her comfortably. She put them back. I checked the size and took them to the lady who was working the till. She asked if they were my size and I replied yes. We chatted for a while and she said the item I was looking for was in the other charity shop. i went there and got it. Had a look at the shoes and boots there, but there wasn’t any I wanted. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cali Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 (edited) My Me-2-Me present came in today, FB Canti retro style sandals. It's wood construction with leather. I can wear them as is but I'm going to add another set of holes to both straps. Besides it's winter here.

JeffB Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 I don't know if I'm the first person here to order from this company, but I recently bought a pair of heels from Shoes of Prey. For anyone unfamiliar with the company, SOP offers customized pumps, flats, boots, sandals, even sneakers in a myriad of sizes, widths, styles, heel heights and colors, all in genuine leather, and all for fairly reasonable prices. In my case, the shoes I bought were $149 apiece and arrived at my door a shade over two weeks after I placed the order. What you see below (pardon my less than stellar photography) are black leather pumps, the first picture with three inch heels and the second with four inchers, both with red leather linings and tan soles. The fit for my selected size (13 wide) was perfect and they felt great on my feet, and while I haven't been out in them yet (hopefully soon), I have no doubt I'll enjoy wearing them. My long range goal is have the SOP three inchers replace the Payless "Karmen" pumps, I mean, why keep manmade shoes when I can have real leather ones instead? Enjoy the pictures! 4 I don't want to LOOK like a woman, I just want to DRESS like a woman! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puffer Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 Interesting, Jeff. There is a UK site for SOP but a quick look there (and a dummy order) suggests a price of £157 (roughly $210) for one pair of shoes like yours. Not sure why there should be such a difference and, other things aside, rather expensive if a UK customer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alphax Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 (edited) @Puffer EU customers always seem to get higher prices compared to U.S. customers. At least that's the case with videogame prices because that's what I'm most familiar with. Not sure why that is. Maybe the extra fees that credit card banks charge for foreign exchange, maybe EU hidden taxes. Edited December 24, 2017 by alphax Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UK VAT is stated to be included in the price, and Jeff's purchase apparently included US sales tax - and, presumably, shipping. The transatlantic shipping costs to UK are included in the UK price but I can't believe that that should account for around $60 (£45). The short answer is 'supply and demand' or, in simpler language, 'greed'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the lining in a deep pink - or perhaps a dark rose kind of colour? They look like the same style f shoe except for a heel height variation. Love to see some pics on your feet? They do look delicious. NB... random thought... you could wear one shoe from each pair so you walking with one 3 inch heel, and one 4 inch heel.... just like Marilyn Munroe did to get her signature walk - or was that just a myth?
