Bubba136 Posted September 9, 2010 Posted September 9, 2010 I just got some new shoes from Zappos.com just waiting for them to get here. Great shoes! They really look comfortable. You shouldn't have any problems wearing them anywhere in San Diego. What will you wear them with? Jeans or a dress? Being mentally comfortable in your own mind is the key to wearing heels in public.
barney15c Posted September 9, 2010 Posted September 9, 2010 I have just invested in a pair of Wedge Ankle boots from Evans, and got 20% off, they have only just gone online, bit like a trainer boot. £35 to £28 The second pair are a platform high heel pump with a zip trim from Big shoe Boutique for £19. Can't wait to get them!!! In the land of the blind, the one eyed man is king!!!
Diablo Posted September 9, 2010 Posted September 9, 2010 imroter: Those are very nice! I've seen them and liked the look. Must be great to wear! Have fun with them barney15c: The 2nd pair isn't my cup of tea, but the wedges are beautiful! And they must be great for public heeling.
Cl0setheels Posted September 9, 2010 Posted September 9, 2010 Thanks Diablo! I'm very happy with them.
WhyNotMenToo Posted September 10, 2010 Posted September 10, 2010 Well I had plans to wear 3 3/4" heel with a skirt at Lips drag show and restaurant and around town with jeans. I also feel it's time to end gender based clothing that men should have the same fashion rights as the woman have enjoyed for 60 years. Equality in Fashion!
JeffB Posted September 10, 2010 Posted September 10, 2010 I just got some new shoes from Zappos.com just waiting for them to get here. Not bad! Not bad at all! Both pairs look quite stylish! Bravo to you! I don't want to LOOK like a woman, I just want to DRESS like a woman!

leyland1 Posted September 12, 2010 Posted September 12, 2010 I just bought these in size 11, Black PU; I hope I can walk in them, currently I just have 1.5 inches cowboy boots so I'm doubling the height! http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=160444740587&var=460005507557&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT#ht_921wt_818
Susan Posted September 12, 2010 Posted September 12, 2010 I bought these a few days ago. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JhsCh_7CBZg and these http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AzZnYFmV53s Apologies....this was intended to go in the girls section. Sorry
hhboots Posted September 13, 2010 Posted September 13, 2010 I bought many new heels including a few pairs of sandals in the last several months. Today, I took a stroll out in one of my pairs in a nearby shopping area and took some pictures and videos (with a cell phone). The videos are posted here on youtube. Apologies for the hair on my legs, I shave about 3/4 of the year, but I am in my summer shorts mode and I don't normally heel in shorts either (jeans are the norm for me). and a few more in jeans...

HappyinHeels Posted September 13, 2010 Posted September 13, 2010 Hi Shoe Lovers!! Last week I met a new sales associate at the Gurnee Mills Bakers store and she tried her best to make a sale bringing out two different boots and two different pumps. I left without buying as they didn't have this onein size 11 but returned a few days later and special ordered it. Tracking states it is Chicago and will arrive at my house tomorrow morning. Here's the link and attched photo. The bottom is just like "Victoria" but the heel is curved and uniquely sexy. I have nothing burgundy/wine color and fell in love with them. The heel is 5.6" (approx.). Of note is when I got here there was a guy trying on shoes, and for about 10 minutes or so, we were the only ones there. Also of note is that when women later entered the store and saw one or both of us trying on different pairs, there was no commotion nor did anyone make a U-turn and leave the store. Added incentive for those thinking about shopping for heels in-person. The in-person is far better than the online, take your chances experience. Get out there and stake your claim to the high heel market. HappyinHeels http://www.bakersshoes.com/product.aspx?c=731&p=175903
danielp6406 Posted September 13, 2010 Posted September 13, 2010 Apologies....this was intended to go in the girls section. Sorry Greetings Susan :-) Your red patent leather shoes with leopard prints are very nice. (No need for apologies if you posted in this section by mistake) We all appreciate and make good comments when we see a nice pair of shoes. Regards ! Daniel Barney15c and Happyinheels :-) I like your new shoes. Well done !

I left without buying as they didn't have this onein size 11 but returned a few days later and special ordered it. Did you happen to order your shoes from the same sales associate, or at least make sure that she got the credit for the sale, that tried to hard to give you good service? Of note is when I got here there was a guy trying on shoes, and for about 10 minutes or so, we were the only ones there. Did you happen to talk with him while looking at shoes? I also would have been curious as to how long he had been wearing high heels.

RonC Posted September 14, 2010 Posted September 14, 2010 I bought these a few days ago. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JhsCh_7CBZg and these http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AzZnYFmV53s Apologies....this was intended to go in the girls section. Sorry Apologies? Why? We all love seeing a pair of great heels! Speaking for myself, I greatly enjoy seeing them on a lady. No need to apologize!
Marion Posted September 14, 2010 Posted September 14, 2010 Not necessary brand new shoes but I (at last) settled some pics in my gallery... My shoe collection album
HappyinHeels Posted September 15, 2010 Posted September 15, 2010 Bubba136, I returned a few days later to the Gurnee Mills store and ordered the "Natalie" from the exact same associate for that very reason. I did talk with the guy trying on shoes so that he would not feel alone although he appeared used to having done this before. I mentioned that I also had one of the same pairs he was trying on (the blue suede VIctoria) and the benefits of having a Bakers discount card. He walked out with two pairs of heels. It's all about building relationships with those around you!
k6ps Posted September 16, 2010 Posted September 16, 2010 Hi, http://www.solestruck.com/jeffrey-campbell-charli-c-black-calf/index.html Its no exaggeration to say that my decades-long dream of walking on perfect wooden platform clogs has finally come true Good fit, very high but walkable (if i'm careful and don't try them on round-stone pavements), they even look masculine, go well with my dark brown velvet suite and big eyeglasses. My wife got the same pair in her size, so i'm eagerly waiting for a chance to go out together with her (doesn't happen too often in a two-career family with little kids), both wearing these babes. Happy Heeling k6ps
Bubba136 Posted September 16, 2010 Posted September 16, 2010 Great shoes. Infact, that site has a lot of different shoes and they're all great. Might have to look some of them more closely when I have more time. Being mentally comfortable in your own mind is the key to wearing heels in public.
Dante Posted September 16, 2010 Posted September 16, 2010 I don't like clogs, but the shop has some decent pairs of hhs. Too bad it's another store in the US. *jealous*
at9 Posted September 16, 2010 Posted September 16, 2010 I don't like clogs, but the shop has some decent pairs of hhs. Too bad it's another store in the US. *jealous* Available in the UK and will probably ship to EU: http://www.office.co.uk/womens/jeffrey_campbell/charlie_heeled_clog/37/8971/23497/1/ There may be other EU based suppliers.
partyshoes Posted September 17, 2010 Posted September 17, 2010 I just bought these in size 11, Black PU; I hope I can walk in them, currently I just have 1.5 inches cowboy boots so I'm doubling the height! http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=160444740587&var=460005507557&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT#ht_921wt_818 I like these - been thinking about them myself, although there is also a similar line but with a Stiletto as opposed to block heel - just need to make up my mind Gingers Rogers did everything Fred Astair did .. but backwards and in heels
heelaphile Posted September 17, 2010 Posted September 17, 2010 Haven't made any purchases for a long time, until recently. These would be my latest ones. I'm almost guilty of stealing, with the prices I paid for these. I'm not totally in love with the color selection, but as they say -beggars can't be choosers. 1st and 2nd pic: Charles David, 4" 3rd pic: Pleaser, ~3.75" 4th pic: Nine West, 3" Size 10, 11, 10.5, but they all fit about the same to me! Heelaphile
RonC Posted September 17, 2010 Posted September 17, 2010 Nice selection. The cut on the suede pair is very nice. Only can dream of wearing a size 10....

Heelaphile Great find. I like all of the styles that you bought. One huge problem with getting quality shoes on sale is that one usually spends 3 times as much as the shoes cost to buy something matching to wear with them.....
