He posted another pair?!

Yea, I hear you. BUT straps are always tricky depending on the width of the foot, etc. I think you can't really go wrong w/ a boot UNLESS it's too tight across the foot (which is impossible) or the calf is cut too narrow. & you'll know it the minute you try it on, just send them back if they aren't working. But I'd at least try that mutha out. Then again, you're talking to a woman who purchased the following shoe TWICE, sent them back TWICE & still has the nerve to want them despite having THREE pair already I just can't justify them - I have black leather, camel leather & yellow leather. These are satin & more dressy BUT I just can't make peace w/ that little strip of patent leather where the buckle is, it ruins the shoe for me. But I still love the overall texture & covered heel

Those shoes are miles apart from each other!

I want credit for starting the whole le sigh thing, too, while I'm thinking about it.

I just made a space for them in the closet I was hoping for a 3.5 heel but it feels like a 4", I'm gonna have to wear them on a sitting down/looking cute night

Oh and I must've missed the other shoe you posted.

I remember these from the other thread. They didn't work out? You could always take them to a cobbler and put a different buckle on it.

As for mine, the straps are way longer on one shoe than the other so it's like he's doing open heart surgery on my babies. I've never had to do this with any shoes before so I guess I'm disappointed that they weren't a lil better made. You're right about the boots though. My main concern is with that hidden platform there's less wiggle room where the toes are so I'ma have to see how that works out.

Now that Bush has signed the housing bill I might be able to free up some mortgage money to buy them badboys.

They're like twins, but one of 'em has a scar from a knife fight back in the day

The satin ones are the only ones that didn't work, but I knew I couldn't keep 2 black pair I had to make myself choose between the satin & the leather. I made the right choice, the leather is more versatile, but I still drool over the satin pair

Sorry the straps are so off, that is strange for such an expensive shoe! Hopefully it won't cost you a grip to have them fixed. & depending on where you bought them I wonder if they should have them fixed for you since it's a definite flaw in the making of the shoe - worth investigating

I still say try the boots & even if they're a touch snug they'll give a bit b/c they're suede. They're worth an honest assessment though, they're too hot

Alright, Thready. Have a seat and try these on.

I really like the brown one's.



These are still conservative but with a lil pizzaz.



And these are just all the way extra but I still like 'em.

I like the brown ones a lot.

That last pair will be perfect for my costume when I'm out fighting crime at night.

One problem: I need lace-ups. My arches need the support. I have big, sorta-flat feet.

le sigh

Yeah, I thought about haggling with Neiman's about it but I'm going out of town and need 'em back by next Thursday. I waited til the last minute to take them to the cobbler. As for price, you know you're in trouble when he says he's got to take 'em apart first before he knows how much it'll cost to put 'em back together.

SCNDLS said:

Oooh!

ThreadBare said:

I know all men have a preference between lace ups and slip ons. Okay, I'll be back.

Okay, here are some laceups for your perusal.

SCNDLS said:

The brown ones are pretty close to a pair I bought earlier this year. For variety, I'm going to avoid getting another square-toed pair, even in black. Hence the black pair I like.

Thanks for your help, though!

G'night, y'all.

That's my favorite too. It's a gorgeous shoe. Here's a closer pic of it.
