Yesterday was my birthday...and look what my girlfriend bought me...

[HeelD]

They're black leather Mary Janes from Clarks. Incredibly comfy and they look great. I wore them out into London yesterday for a meal and enjoyed them. They also look great with my black GAP Long and Lean jeans and black shirt - which I will wear out for a meal soon.

It was a pleasant surprise as I really wanted these shoes and I had no idea she bought them for me.

I feel very lucky to have her.

Happy belated birthday, HeelD! Looks like you got a great present from your gf - congrats on having such a supportive and understanding person with you!

Happy birthday HeelD. Love the shoes. I didn't know Clarks made anything that looks that good. Hang on to that gf too. She's a real jewel.

Thanks for the kind messages!

Thanks. Clarks in the UK make some great shoes. I find in the US they tend to focus on their frumpier styles but in the UK they have become fashionable especially for casual shoes. Their mens shoes generally leave a lot left to be desired but the ladies have a great choice - that's the side where I always go! I popped into my local store today and I've spotted several pairs of boots and shoes I would love to own. They aren't Lauboutin or Nine West head turning, but they are comfortable stylish shoes IMO. And their shoes last too.

Gfs can be so supportive. My gf surprised me with some new pairs of women's flat sandals. Nothing big, no reason to buy them, but was just thinking of me. Those are always the greatest gifts to receive!

I am lucky...my wife purchases shoes for me all the time. I don't really care for anything without a 4" or higher heel (It's the heel that does it for me) and occasionally she comes home with a nice pair for me. I have some masculine looking 4" boots with block heel I wear everywhere except work, unless I am wearing my 4" patent black Hot Topic shoes (will be my avatar when allowed to upload one) which I have worn to the mall and 3 Halloween parties (but I was in femme for halloween - Goth chick). I haven't gotten brave enough to wear stilettos or non-black or brown shoes out in public. Wish I had remembered my pink peep toes 5" heels with ankle strap the second halloween party night...would have gone with my corset with the pink ribbon. My wife ordered me some knee high ballet boots but they haven't come in yet. 7-8" heel with toe pointed to the floor. If nothing else, they will stretch my feet out making higher heels more comfortable. Since I have been spending almost all my time in heels the past few weeks (and evenings 3-4 days a week prior to that-but in private) I have found I am much more comfortable in them and can walk better in my 5.5" sandals. I hope to get to where I can walk for hours in public in 6" spikes...but I have to get the nerve too! CJ

though a little bit late, nhappy birthday, you're lucky, even though my wife approves my heels, so far she hasn't given me as a present a pair of heels. hope someday.

This is what my wife bought me for my birthday. It was Oct 16. They are Steve Madden. Won them on ebay today for 55.00, new in box!

Like I said in another thread, they're great! Can be worn under or over leather pants, jeans, slacks or even bondage pants- everywhere, everyday! Since my silhouette is rather not-so-petite, I'm not so keen on stillettos- but chunky heels do the thing for me.

I do like stiletto's but do not wear them out. I do wear a lot of stack and block heels out though. I prefer block and stacked over stiletto.
