NewfieGuyInHeels Posted March 10, 2008 Posted March 10, 2008 Hey guys. My gf put forth the idea a few days ago about me getting some heeled sandals for the summer. Now I've never really considdered them before being mainly a boot fan. So if anyone could give me some ideas of style to look out for (with pics so i get a good visual) I'd greatly appreciate it. I'm partial to black, and preferably anything that can still be somewhat masculine, tho I'd like to see any ideas you have. Thanks! http://s77.photobucket.com/albums/j78/darthraze/
johnieheel Posted March 10, 2008 Posted March 10, 2008 Cutsey Shoes or electrique Boutique would be a good place to start. real men wear heels
johnieheel Posted March 10, 2008 Posted March 10, 2008 Hey JH I like 3 and 5 where are those from? www.eleriqueboutique.com and www.cutseyshoes.com real men wear heels
canadianbeaver17 Posted March 10, 2008 Posted March 10, 2008 Newfie, I couldn't remember if you said you didn't like wedges or not, but this was the first pair I bought that I thought was masculine but was still awesome to wear. They are Steve Madden "Pepe"
loswabs Posted March 10, 2008 Posted March 10, 2008 Hi Newfie Where and when are you thinking of wearing your sandals? I have a few pairs but I'm not sure about wearing them out in town. I almost tried it once before but it never happened. I think high heel sandals are lovely but it really is pushing the envelope to wear them out. Good luck, and here's hoping I get the confidence to wear mine out too lol Thanks It's my opinion, no more, no less
roniheels Posted March 14, 2008 Posted March 14, 2008 I have a pair of clogs with a 3 inch wedge heel that I wear often during the summer. That's the closest thing I have to high heeled sandals. I might change my mind after seeing the shoe Johnieheel displayed. Those are really nice.
Pumpfan Posted March 14, 2008 Posted March 14, 2008 If you dont wear too large a size may I suggest shoeocean.com. Most of their shoes tend towards spike heels, but they have some nice designs.
ericge Posted March 14, 2008 Posted March 14, 2008 Before I make any suggestions, what size do you wear in boots?
NewfieGuyInHeels Posted March 14, 2008 Author Posted March 14, 2008 I wear a 9 or 10 women's US, depending on the size. If I were to get a pair of sandals I'm sure I'd need a 9 cause nothing's worse than loose fitting sandals. http://s77.photobucket.com/albums/j78/darthraze/
ericge Posted March 14, 2008 Posted March 14, 2008 ok, since size is not an issue for you, but the fact that you have predominately worn boots leads me to make two suggestions. First, there is a big difference in going from a boot with a heel to a sandal with a heel. I suggest you consider buying two pair of sandals. The first pair would be your "trainers" and these would have a heel not higher than 2.5" and would help you get adjusted to wearing an open toed heels. The second pair would be what you want to wear on a regular basis once you have graduated from the trainers. I would recommend going to www.zappos.com and searching through their sandal collection for size 9s in black and then you can make your own decision. Some of the styles in johnie's post would be great too, but I would make them the second pair. Good Luck!
