Dr. Shoe Posted October 30, 2002 Share Posted October 30, 2002 Sorry Susie, just couldn't resist! Seriously though, I have seen some, have you tried Office or Pied a Terre.

Yamyam Posted November 1, 2002 Share Posted November 1, 2002 I'd suggest Schuh, who also have a website at http://www.schuh.co.uk/ Obsessed is such a strong word. I prefer to think of myself as "differently enthusiastic" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firefox Posted November 1, 2002 Share Posted November 1, 2002 I have definitely seen these, I can't remember where though. They may not be in stock this season as it was the bootee style which is slightly out of favour. I think it was either Baratts or Scuh; 4" stiletto bootees.

Highluc Posted November 1, 2002 Share Posted November 1, 2002 Just came back from a trip to Eindhoven Holland and I was surprized the number of boots with zipper in the back for sale. Be youself, enjoy any footwear you like and don't care about what others think about it, it's your life, not theirs.

Dr. Shoe Posted November 2, 2002 Share Posted November 2, 2002 I saw a pair of over-the-knee boots in Barratts at Bluewater today (£145?) The knee-roll can be folded down to form a cuff.

jo Posted February 2, 2003 Share Posted February 2, 2003 I think I saw some back-zip ankle boots in TK Maxx (UK) last week (check out Stead and Simpson as well, though I'm not sure). I have certainly seen them in several places in the last few weeks, but I am struggling to remember exactly where (Barratts, Brantano, Faith, TK Maxx, are all worth a look as well, also "Shoe Shed" if you have one of those near you). There are still a lot of sandals with ankle cuffs and back zip straps, a style that appeared just over a year ago in selected places then suddenly went mainstream. I have tried some of those, but the fit has to be very good, otherwise you just fall off the shoe. I found a lot of the ankle cuffs far too loose for my little ankles. Ankle boots would be a whole lot easier I guess. Perhaps I'll try that next time that I see some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yamyam Posted February 7, 2003 Share Posted February 7, 2003 I also quite like those ankle strap sandals and closed-toe styles. But I haven't found a pair with a high enough heel in a UK8. Darn. Also, I'm not sure if I'd take them outside, and I'd quite like to stop buying shoes that I only wear indoors. Obsessed is such a strong word.

Dr. Shoe Posted February 7, 2003 Share Posted February 7, 2003 If I stopped buying footwear I couldn't wear outside, I would save a fortune! Graduate footwear designer able to advise and assist on modification and shoe making projects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highluc Posted February 8, 2003 Share Posted February 8, 2003 If I stopped buying footwear I couldn't wear outside, I would save a fortune! You ought to replace "couldn't" by "don't dare to" Be youself, enjoy any footwear you like and don't care about what others think about it, it's your life, not theirs.

Yamyam Posted February 8, 2003 Share Posted February 8, 2003 Bah! But you're right, Hiluc. Having said that, I've come to a style that works for me, which is black ankle high heel boots and boy clothes. Things will have to move a bit for that to change. Obsessed is such a strong word.
