roz Posted May 19, 2008 Posted May 19, 2008 Today I went a bit crazy. Again. One of my friends at work came in wearing a lush pair of shoes and I was like "where did you get them, where did you get them, where did you get them?!", she looked so gorgeous in them. To my surprise she said she got them from New Look. So I finished work today early and went to New Look... and where oh where has New Look been all my life?! They had some great shoes in there, so I went a bit crazy and bought over a hundred quids worth! But I got six pairs out of that £100. These are the shoes I got: (the first pair on this list is the pair my friend wore) So, yeah, after buying silly 9" Karos and silly 12" skyskrapers I have bought enough sensible (cheap) shoes to last quite a while!
PatentHeel Posted May 19, 2008 Posted May 19, 2008 These are some sexy numbers. Hopefully you will model yours for us. Very nice them.
HimInHeels Posted May 20, 2008 Posted May 20, 2008 Friday, 5/16/08, I bought these: https://www.sexyshoes.com/p-1267-turn-up-the-heat.aspx Tracking UPS is like tracking Santa Claus on Christmas Eve. COME ON TRUCK!!! You've been sitting in the same SPOT 3 hours now. MOVE IT!
ShockQueen Posted May 20, 2008 Posted May 20, 2008 Friday, 5/16/08, I bought these: https://www.sexyshoes.com/p-1267-turn-up-the-heat.aspx Tracking UPS is like tracking Santa Claus on Christmas Eve. COME ON TRUCK!!! You've been sitting in the same SPOT 3 hours now. MOVE IT! I know the feeling when it comes to UPS. I check that site several times a day for a change.....ANY change in status. Those boots are ***HOT*** by the way! Good luck walking in them! SQ.....still busting societal molds with a smile...and a 50-ton sledge!
HimInHeels Posted May 20, 2008 Posted May 20, 2008 Shock Queen, Me too (Checking UPS several times a day), Darn truck driver. He's probably sitting in some truck stop resting and doesn't even know the most important deliver of his life is aboard. HAHA. Just kissing of course. I've been eying these boots for some time now and finally gave in to the temptation and bought them. They are indeed my highest yet by 1 1/4". I am very comforatble in 5" heels however. In the attempt to keep my gate when I walk somewhat normal (Me walking like some little china girl is sort of a give-away, you know what I mean), my heel will forever want to slip out the back of the shoe. I'm hoping the tight fitting boot will eleviate that problem. I ordered the Patent style and ohhh so wanted to overnight them but the frickin' overnight charges were 1.5 times the price of the shoe. Ful is getting out of hand in the US, finally. So I wait and wait and wait on Mr UPS man.
t-strap lover Posted May 20, 2008 Posted May 20, 2008 Hi Roz, I really like all those shoes you purchased. I love those t-strap gold platforms. have a nice day. t-straps are my favorite style.
raymond.nl Posted May 20, 2008 Posted May 20, 2008 Last Saturday I bought theese boots! Identical heel to the boots I have been wearing (am wearing) for the last few days. Ideal for outdoor heeling.
wolf Posted May 20, 2008 Posted May 20, 2008 Identical heel to the boots I have been wearing (am wearing) for the last few days. Ideal for outdoor heeling. Are them quite confy? what size R you?
HimInHeels Posted May 21, 2008 Posted May 21, 2008 The UPS man finally arrived and I had the box open before he drove off. The boots however, Waaaa, I dont think they are going to work. I guess its the thrill of the hunt that is so exciting. Better shopping next time. I'm just going to have to lay off the websites and stick with the stores. Waaaa Again. anybody interested in a once worn boot? http://www.sexyshoes.com/p-1267-turn-up-the-heat.aspx just kidding, they will still look good in my closet I suppose.
Bubba136 Posted May 27, 2008 Posted May 27, 2008 Him in heels! If you don't like them, why not return them and get another pair that you would also like to have? Being mentally comfortable in your own mind is the key to wearing heels in public.
spiker Posted May 27, 2008 Posted May 27, 2008 HimInHeels, What's wrong with the boots? Wrong size? Spiker.
fastfreddy2 Posted May 27, 2008 Posted May 27, 2008 I have 3 packages en route from the US via USPS, each with 2 pairs of boots or shoes. I've a fourth package on the way via Fedex. [7 pairs in total.] If a US 10 don't fit me, I'm in big trouble. Cost of boots is small, carriage almost as small. Import tax will almost double the price of whatver I've bought. Welcome to Britain. What's on the way? <previously linked> http://www.hhplace.org/discuss/attachments/everybody/2191d1210687212-most_comfortable_sexy_shoes-carlossantana.jpg http://www.hhplace.org/discuss/attachments/everybody/2192d1210687212-most_comfortable_sexy_shoes-michael_kors_north.jpg and a couple more pairs... .....
t-strap lover Posted May 27, 2008 Posted May 27, 2008 I bought these last week, and received them today via ups. puschased from sexyshoes. t-straps are my favorite style.
HimInHeels Posted May 27, 2008 Posted May 27, 2008 Bubba, Skiker, The boots. As awesome as they were, the heels were just too high and with the quality not being the highest, the heels simply would bend while I walked as if I were on springs. It was my highest experience to date and maybe that is what is expected but I don't think so. I did send them back for credit. Perhaps I'll find something similar with a 5" heel. I liked the boots fist all because they were so darned hot looking but I also wanted something to grab hold of my foot a little better than a pump. When I walk in my pumps in the evening time, my heel wants to slip sometimes. (Remember, morning feet are not the same size as evening feet) Was hoping the tight ankle solved the problem. Maybe my next pumps will have the ankle strap. Has this solved the problem for other members?

Only ones I don't care much for are the wedge mules, the boots all look fantastic. I particularly like the style of the second pair, and the heel shape. Good choices, let us know how they feel to wear when they arrive (provided they fit). He was so narrow minded he could see through a keyhole with both eyes. Brown's Law: If the shoe fits, it's ugly
fastfreddy2 Posted May 27, 2008 Posted May 27, 2008 I particularly like the style of the second pair, and the heel shape. Good choices, let us know how they feel to wear when they arrive (provided they fit). Will do. The mules are a bit of a gamble really. I don't wear heels at home, <no issues, I just don't wear outdoor shoes in the house> but the mules could become my house 'slippers'. Bit like my moccasins, but with heels. The Michael Kors 'North' do look like they're going to be good. [if they were the ones you meant.] I bought them a good month ago, but there's been a bit of a struggle to get them posted by a friend over there. I had planned to order a 2nd pair if they fit, but I may be too late now. They don't hold onto old stock in the US. The same idea is true of the Harley D. ones. If they fit, I'll be chasing a second pair. I did a photo edit of them without the 'harness' bit. these are the ones coming over via Fedex. Apparently. ....
shyguy Posted May 27, 2008 Posted May 27, 2008 Yes it was the "North" ones I liked best, but seeing the HD ones sans harness they look a lot better too. He was so narrow minded he could see through a keyhole with both eyes. Brown's Law: If the shoe fits, it's ugly
billyb Posted May 27, 2008 Posted May 27, 2008 fastfreddy2 I really like the H-D boots where did you order them from?
fastfreddy2 Posted May 27, 2008 Posted May 27, 2008 fastfreddy2 I really like the H-D boots where did you order them from? http://stores.grapevinehill.com/Items/206499-p?sck=4578017&caSKU=206499-p&caTitle=Harley%20Davidson%20'Ella'%20Harness%20Fashion%20Boots%20Womens%20-%20Black I tried to buy some from BootBarn, but when they went to pick them for dispatch, they found they were out of stock. I'm not sure the same won't have happened with Grapevinehill. I've not been advised dispatch details either.... I'll know soon enough though. P.S. And as if by magic ...... 25 minutes ago (immediately I stopped writing) I got an email from Fedex advising consignment number. So they are on their way! So, who's watching this site? Grapevinehill, or Fedex?
Amanda Posted May 27, 2008 Posted May 27, 2008 http://www.kurtgeiger.com/online-shop/4336-carvela-greta I bought these, well last week actually. I don't buy shoes everyday but I thought it would count for the thread. I have 3 pairs of Carvela shoes now. I like them.
t-strap lover Posted May 27, 2008 Posted May 27, 2008 they are sexy and chic. t-straps are my favorite style.
fastfreddy2 Posted May 27, 2008 Posted May 27, 2008 P.S. And as if by magic ...... 25 minutes ago (immediately I stopped writing) I got an email from Fedex advising consignment number. So they are on their way! So, who's watching this site? Grapevinehill, or Fedex? What's going on? Now just got an email from Bootbarn telling me they are about to dispatch the boots that weren't previously available. I've reminded them they're supposed to have refunded the charges from the original order. I wouldn't mind but they were actually cheaper than Grapevinehill and they sell some (girls) Wrangler jeans I'd like to own too. P.P.S. And while checking what's on order, I dug out copies of images of the other boots: [3 types but 4 images.] D'ya think I have a thing for ankle boots? ....
flavio Posted May 30, 2008 Posted May 30, 2008 (...) D'ya think I have a thing for ankle boots? Noooooooooooooo:thumbsup: Flavio - Brazilian heel lover, now in France.
fastfreddy2 Posted May 31, 2008 Posted May 31, 2008 These arrived a couple of days ago .... http://www.hhplace.org/discuss/attachments/everybody/2297d1211932902-today_i_bought-nine_west_welkin.jpg and are currently my Martini footwear. So comfortable, I don't want to take them off. A very good fit, typical of Nine West. I've removed the decoration though. I wear my boots under jeans, and didn't like the unnecessary banding. The Via Spiga wedges have arrived too. Also very comfy. Not sure about the buckle though .... If these are keepers, buckle might have to go ..... I'm having to go barefoot to walk in them. Again, good sizing. ....
lorriette Posted May 31, 2008 Posted May 31, 2008 I like those, couldn't see a problem with men wearing them daily instead of trainers. totter along into history
johnieheel Posted June 1, 2008 Posted June 1, 2008 One word Amanda- TOOOOOCUTE! http://www.kurtgeiger.com/online-sho...-carvela-greta real men wear heels
PatentHeel Posted June 7, 2008 Posted June 7, 2008 My purchase today, these will look nice with ruffled ankle socks.
