Has Anyone Ever Ordered From...

[Guest Lizzie McTrucker]

Has anyone ever ordered shoes (or anything else they offer) from allheelsformen.com ?

They have a pair of ballet flats for $84 and Mary Jane shoes for $85. I want to get them really badly because it's so hard to find really cute shoes for a size 15 (men's) foot (size 17 womens), but I don't know how credible they are or the quality of the item. I've looked online and found the same shoes on Ebay for $99. I couldn't find anything from them in ripoffreport.com and they don't have a physical address listed but their phone number is based in Broward county FL (which is Ft. Lauderdale area I believe)

Anyway, just curious if any of you ladies have ordered off this site.

I talked myself out of buying anything tonight (gooo mee!) and I figured I'd sleep on it and wait.

I have a male size 13 medium foot - and when I was in my advanced years of dressing I decided i wanted to find shoes that fit me! So I researched and found that the rule is two sizes up for women's shoes.

BUT

I also found I do NOT wear a women's size 15 medium! Actually I wear a size 12 wide or size 13 medium woman's shoe. So be careful

I know different people have different types of feet. My feet are long but not that fleshy. I also have to worry about my toenails as I tend to keep then slightly long so they polish up nicely. So the fit you have MAY be different.

HOW I FOUND MY SHOE SIZE?

Well, like you I looked on ebay - used shoes and new - inexpensive types. Different brands have different fits! Also there were TONS of fetish shoes available (YIKES! I just wanted shoes!) So I bid on stuff- and when I got the merchandice - if the shoes were too small, or too narrow, the 15 - 20 bucks I spent wasn't a disaster! So that is how I learned.

BUT - strange things happened sometimes. I found a pair of used sandals - 13 womens - WAY TOO LARGE! Some of the 13 W were too loose. They fit but in a woman's heels you don't want to slip and slide.

So

(1) Some shoes are labeled differently - I think this occurs in the over-large women's shoes we need. Most all 13 fit me - some case I wish I had them in 12. Some 12 wide fit just right - but sometimes I wish they were a tad longer.

(2) Some brands will NEVER fit! 'Pleasers' is a brand that is CONSISTANLY two sizes too small (they are one of the fetish brands), If you order you DO have to order two sizes up from your male size. That is the bad news. The good news is they have the really large sizes you ar looking for.

(3) They 'type' of shoe you want has a lot to do with the size. Sandals are a breeze - they are open and always seem to fit. Strap backs are adjustable. Heels - yikes - hard to fit because they are so stiff and non-open. You see what I am saying...

(4) Certain brands are excellant! American Eagle is my favorite I think. Also Fiona and Predictions! All cater to us larger women.

(5) the better known brands tend to leave us out. Also, the 'fashion brands' are typically a bit smaller in sizes - a 12 W in those may or may not fit me - iffy, if you know what I mean - so I stay with the 'open' designs if I order there. BUT they will probably not fit you if you have a larger foot than I have.

(6) You can find good shoes - I Goggle "13 Womens Shoes" for my sources. Same works on Ebay - also on Ebay, there are stores that advertize.

(7) Womens shoe stores are different. Most let you return shoes - FOR ANY REASON - as long as they are not worn. I have NEVER had a challange.

Also - sometimes you have to talk with the person you order from. They are NEVER judgemental! As long as you have $$$ and they have a product - you are just fine with them.

The brand you mention - no - probably a middleman for large shoes - and the prices seem high!

Oh - did I mention? I STILL buy shoes - but now I have my shoe fetish (hee hee - a normal woman thing it turns out) more in control. NEVER more than 1 1/2" heels - well.... unless I just gotta go taller! I counted my shoes - got rid of my 'CD' influenced ones - STILL have 42 pairs!

My favorite are my clogs - my sandals - and my open toe sling back pumps! I dooooo so love the formal heels though - 3" heels arent bad if you duck when going through doors HA!

Hope this helps

Well after sleeping on it I decided I would not get the $84 ballet flats or Mary Janes _AS CUTE AS THEY ARE_ but instead I opted for the $42 pair of Vans sneakers in black (to make my feet look smaller).

I also bought 5 things from JC Penney.com with the 40% off flyer they mailed so those will arrive in about a week, the shoes in about 2 weeks. I felt better about ordering the sneakers than the women's shoes.

Perhaps it's my little protest about crossdressing sites inflating prices on their merchandise to make crazy profits. That and I think $84 for a pair of flats (not even name brand) is ridiculous. Seeing the exact same item on Ebay for $99 was just as bad.

Again, people trying to make crazy profits off the TG community and we shouldn't stand for it!

Someone make a discount store with a catchy name! (all I can think of is "Frocks and Socks" and that's just plain silly)
