New Shoes

[Guest NatalieRene]

After being under the weather all weekend I finally felt well enough to go out this afternoon. So I went down to the Dulles Town Center and bought myself a new pair of shoes. I got them on sale in a clearance at the Victoria Secret store. I think I'm still going to go ahead and call in sick tomorrow because darn it I was sick all weekend and I want a day I can full enjoy and not have to work before going back to work. LOL

Sorry the image is fuzzy because I used the camera in my laptop oh and disregard the mess behind me I'm painting the stair way going into the basement right now. The color of the shoes are actually brown but, the color quality of the photo just stinks. I'm thinking I'm going to wear these to my next support group meeting next month.

[Guest Jean Davis]

Ohh Natalie

How sweet you bought me a new pair of shoes.

Aww I just love them, I hope they fit.

So when are you going to ship them to me.

Sooner the better, I can't wait to wear them.

They fit like a glove and because they are open on the front and back I was able to pretend I actually fit a size 9.

Alas I have grown quite attached to them and don't think I could bare to part with them.

[Guest Sara P]

Awesome

Now I think I need a new pair of shoes... And I just bought a pair a couple weeks ago...

That's OK

Enjoy your new shoes.

You just bought a pair of shoes so you can't buy another pair?

You can never have enough shoes. Buy buy buy.

[Guest Robin Winter]

oooh, I like those

[Guest NatalieRene]

That's OK

Enjoy your new shoes.

Jean

Thanks

Oh and Sara I bought this pair about a month ago. They fit but I'm not used to such a high heel.

See you can never have enough shoes. These are my only two nice pumps but I am hooked. These are the nice sort of shoes that I can wear to work when I dress up for meetings.

[Guest Lizzie McTrucker]

I'm not sure if those would be good for meetings. At the work place I'm pretty sure a lower heel would be best. Those two pairs look like they would be best for going out at night.

[Guest angie]

Oh she will find out Lizzie,

I have lots of high heels,25 pair at last count.

But I found,by hard experience,is that if you are going to be on your feet

for an extended period of time to wear a lower heel for sheer comfort.

The heels look delightful and make my short legs look a mile long,but by

the end,all I am wanting to do is get them off my aching feets.

[Guest Donna Jean]

OMG, Natalie!

I LOVE the second pair!

The first pair is ok, but I'm not an open toed kind of girl!

And don't let Jean have them....she still owes me money!

Huggs!

Those are awesome shoes Natalie!

I am jealous as we're going to be snow covered for the coming six months....

[Guest Joanna Phipps]

Dang it girls, I need to find some good looking shoes like that.. but in and 11W to 12W depending on who makes them and how bad my feet are

[Carolyn Marie]

Oh my, those are lovely shoes, both pairs! I haven't bought any yet that have

ankle straps, but I definitely intend to, because they are soooo cute!

Carolyn Marie

[Guest Robin Winter]

SHEWS!!!!!

This topic got me window shopping. I'm actually starting to think I have pretty feet. The fact that they're bigger than average ladies size always kinda overshadowed the fact, but really, they kinda are (just gotta get rid of the bits of fur) So I think maybe I'ma get me some shews too!

The second half of Wednesday is basically all meetings for me. I was thinking on those days right before heading tot he meeting I would slip into a nicer pair of shoes for the meeting and then take them off once I get in my car to go home after getting out of the meetings. It's maybe four city blocks of walking round trip and 4 hours sitting in a chair. I need to look good for these meetings because presidents, vice presidents, and deans of the school attend the meetings. Hopefully they will be ok, but if not I'll just have to go buy more shoes. Yippie!

I understand. People are not meant to be walking around on their toes like these shoes impose on us. I do have a nice wedge though that is a lower size and is easy to be in all day. It's almost like a flat it's so comfy. I'd probably go for that pair on a regular day or just a flat or tennis shoe when dealing with the techs.

Those are awesome shoes Natalie!

You can get some nice boots.

Both of those pairs went up to size 11 but I don't know about wide. If you are looking for a nice pair of heels but can't find your size you could buy some matching color elastic and snip off just a bit of a strap that is tight and sew on the elastic to get your foot to fit.

Thanks I like them a lot too. I got them different colors so they would go with a wider range of cloths. The funny thing is they are both of them are Colin Stuart shoes. I didn't plan it that way or just look at that brand. They just both caught my eye when I saw them and ending up picking them out. I'm so tempted to go out and buy more shoes and cloths but I need the money for hrt and therapy.

[Guest angie]

Natalie,

My absolute favorite pair of shoes are my wedges.

They are soo cute,girly and feminine and go with most anything,

and can wear them for hours and hours,they feel that good on my feet.

A tip for the higher heels.Buy a good brand of ball of the foot pads that

are made for high heels.They make a real difference in your own personal

comfort.Like walking in your door,thankful to get those shoes off your aching

feet.To being comfy and your thinking how pretty your feet look in those shoes.

Especially after a night out dancing with your friends.

Are they like sole inserts that go in the shoe? How do you keep them in place?

[Guest angie]

They have a self adhesive that keeps them in place.

And come in many different styles,but you only need the ball of the foot type.

Angie

[Guest Joanna Phipps]

mutters, how do you shrink feet.... I need mine in a size 8 or 9

[Guest Donna Jean]

Well, I guess that I'm kinda lucky...

I can do a women's size 9-10 .....

And I do have one pair of "Mary Janes" that fit nicely and they're a size 8....

But, most of my heels are of the "Clunky" type not the stiletto type...

I tend to teeter on the spikey type heels...

I really don't like to face plant .......

HUGGS!

Yes, I dressed up as Daphne Blake (from Scooby Doo) for Halloween a few years ago, and worked all night in go-go boots with 4 inch heels. Biiiiiiiiiig mistake Ah well, thinking of being that stupid again this year.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ to all of you lucky ladies.... gonna have to find someone who wants to trade feet... these are annoying me cant get anyting decent in my size

[Guest Joanna Phipps]

Something must not be quite right with me. There is no reason this thread and the shoe discussion should get to me the way it has. I dont know what it is but I will think on it and see if I can come up with a reason

Lol! I hear you, Dee Jay. I've had daydreams about ending up in the emergency room

with a broken ankle, and trying to explain to the doctor, and my S.O., how I got it!
