Good evening!

So... here are the two new pairs of shoes I just bought online.I hope I will not have too much custom fees to pay...

I once bought gothic botts for 120 dollars, and had to pay 60 dollars of customs fees!

Here they are:

These, but in black velvet. This site even has some shoes that go to size 16! Awesome! :

And these. I hesitated for a long moment between these and Zombies high heels..... :

I am sure there were already posts about shoes. These shops are special, thougj. They contain plenty of clothes, accessories, jewelry and stuff like that belong to some gothink/punk and other categores. I hope these shops will wake your darker side!

Love,

Klara.

Very nice Klara

I get paid this Wednesday and I'm going shoe shopping. It's been awhile and I need to match a couple of new outfits that I have in the closet. Plus I just got the new Fall Catalog from Jessica London and their is an outfit in there I just have to have. So there goes the discretionary spending for a couple weeks, sigh.

I love those, Klara, very cute! Especially the first pair. Black velvet would be stunning. I'm glad you are able to wear heels like that, hon. I sure couldn't.

I found a pair of zebra print stillettos at a second hand store in 10M which are the same size as my knee high stilletto boots. The boots fit like a glove and the zebra prints are almost painful to wear. I think I need to stretch them or something. What I want are a pair of red heels but I can't find any nice ones in the second hand stores I frequent.

Wonderful! I only have two pairs of shoes right now, a strappy pair of heels and some flats. I think that it's time to start buying more cute shoes and boots - I really want a pair of knee high/thigh high boots :thumbsup:

Brenda, I got my boots (thigh high, stilletto heel, zipper side, black fake leather) at a second hand store for $15. The Gods of Cross Dressing were with me that day. Boots like that go for a whole lot more new. I have no idea why they were so cheep but I don't care! I love them!

OMG, that's great! I'd love that, although I don't think I want more than a 2" heel (I'm over 6' tall in socks already :-). My biggest issue is that I'm a women's 12W - you can NOT find those in Wal-Mart...

I just bought a pair of red heels today, got some good tips fromt he bikers so I splurged on myself a bit.

I hope the link works.

Anyhow, I got them in an 11M because of my problems with 10Ms in the past. They fit so perfectly and comfortably.

BTW, I'm six one in stocking feet. I don't care what others think, I wear what I like. They go wonderfully with a red skirt I have.

Brenda, I so can relate to the heel 'n' height thing. I'm 6'1" in bare feet. I was hurt back in the early 90's and have had three back surgeries and still suffer with periodic sciatic pain. Nonetheless, I want to wear a 2" heel but not a spike.

Hey, beauty hurts, right.

Worst of all is that a wear a size 12Mens which means roughly a 14Womens. I went into a huge store at the Mall that sells nothing but hip womens' shoes & boots. Not only had they nothing in my size but couldn't even tell me where to go.

Grrrrrrr!

I also loved your Iggy Pop quote! Had never heard that.

With love,

Chrysee Sartorious

Chrysee, the Iggy Pop quote comes from a poster, which I believe was created for SlutWalk. I'm not totally clear on what it is, but from what I've seen, it's a campaign against violence against women justified by what the woman was wearing ("your honor, obviously she wanted me to sexually abuse her because she was dressed like a very *friendly* person"). I don't think that this violates the T's & C's...

Bad word changer modified the last word of the "quoted" part, but I think it's still clear.

Brenda

I figured. Listen: nor to appear totally stupid, define' T's & C's', s'il vous plait.

Hey, I'm leading a sheltered dotage.

Guest MsPerseveres

Sorry - t's and c's is contracting shorthand in my company for "terms and conditions". It's often written "T&C", but we talk about it as "t's and c's" :-).

Hugs, Brenda

Heels? Did I hear Heels? I think the tallest heels that I have might be on my Doc Marten's.

Well, if we're sharing shoes that we bought, I'll go ahead and share a few too.

3 1/2 Inch Chunky Mary Jane Heel

http://www.amazon.com/Inch-Womens-Dress-Chunky-Black/dp/B0028P31P6/ref=sr_1_8?s=shoes&ie=UTF8&qid=1345492693&sr=1-8&keywords=chunky

Very comfortable. The price is a bit high I suppose, but I was very surprised at just how comfortable they were. I could wear them all day and my feet won't ache. Plus there's lots of toe room.

Soft Flat Ballet Shoes

http://www.ebay.com/itm/270891556494?var=570094407329&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649

Just got them in the mail today. A lot wider than what I was expecting which is good. Soles of the shoes are rubber and meant for lots of walking around in which is good. They're my new house shoes. Bare foot they fit a little loose whereas with socks they're just snug enough not to fall off or flap when walking. I bought two pair, white and red.

4 Inch Round Toe Baby Doll Pumps

http://www.ebay.com/itm/190692197594?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649

Not as comfortable to wear as the others, but they look great. The seller also has them in black and pink, but the red just goes with everything in my wardrobe.

5 Inch Brash Black Komet Platform Pump

http://www.ebay.com/itm/370627464548?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649

Not the most comfortable, but it's bearable to wear all day. Looks great with my skirt suit.

New Kali Dress Boots High Heel Faux Leather

http://www.ebay.com/itm/370625466047?var=640030533603&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649

Fits wonderfully. Looks sexy and they're easy to walk in. Goes with a lot of different outfits.

And I don't own these but I'm considering buying them:

We have similar taste in shoes Alison. I love those mary janes. They are so comfy. I have a pair I got at Kmart on sale. Very nice. I'd love a pair of those boots too. My boots are zip up and tight to the calf with a 4 inch heel. I'm standing a 6 foot 5 when I wear them. But the hold on to my feet real good and I can walk easily in them, even on stairs.

I highly recommend the ballet flats. I've been wearing them all day and I LOVE them! They look and feel great. They seem a bit flimsy, but for $15 each and a wide array of colors to pick from I can deal with that.

I'd love to share with you the sellers I like to buy from on eBay, but that might mean competition for the good picks :lol:

I had good luck with Barefoottess (.com). I'm considering a couple other pairs in my size from that site.

I also wear men's black skater shoes for every day casual wear and just bought a pair of DC shoes from zappo's that are on their way as we speak. :)

I wandered into a second hand store today and slowly made my way through the clothing areas looking over the slim shoe pickings and finding nothing that would fit and look good. I saw some outfits that I liked but none in my size. Which is a shame as $5 fills a bag with clothes there. But I got to the last room and it was filled with SHOES!!! All manner and size of heels, flats, mules, boots, mary janes and every other type under the sun! It was like shoe heaven.

I found several pairs in my size range and wanted to fill a bag but my fem budget is maxed out right now so I have to wait. Shoes didn't count as clothes for the $5 bag. Boo hoo.... I hope the ones I set aside are still there in a week!

      Today I had a dr appt. When I checked in, I was asked my surname, which I gave. Apparently there were two patients with appointments at that time with that same surname. The receptionist asked, "Are you (my legal name which is feminine) or Paul?" I got such a kick out of it not being assumed I had the feminine name. 
    • Vidanjali
      That must have felt affirming, albeit perhaps weirdly so. However, I'd construe that more broadly (no pun intended) as sexism rather than misogyny where the latter would imply contempt. Also, incidentally, I've heard chivalry referred to as "benevolent sexism".

      My boss is in a panic. His business is a couple straws away from breaking a camel in half. He's just handling the stress very poorly.   My dad, though. He's handling things pretty well, as long as I continue to don't get massively offended by being called: son, boy, etc. His eldest is leaving the State and looks so different than he's been used to over the years. I haven't told him I'm on HRT, but to be fair the changes haven't been massive. I've always had boobs, more so after COVID weight gain and made more obvious with its loss, but now I'm not hiding them--and obviously wearing a bra. The estrogen has done some work, but nothing major (sadly). I think the biggest HRT changes have been my skin and a mild amount of fat redistribution.   Today I'm wearing my cheater, I almost have cleavage! :D I need to get another t-shirt bra to keep a good rotation. I only have two, one push-up, and the rest are unlined (great for Summer, but not great for my Summer wardrobe ).

      I eat a ketogenic diet and have had no problems. I don't know about your case but I suspect it is the estrogen. Research the types of ways to take estrogen. Pay close attention to the bloodwork results. If they are not satisfactory, bring it up with your doctor. I take injectables, which are fully covered by insurance. It may not be the route for you, but something to consider. I emphasize to do your research and good luck. You can solve this. Be persistent.    Jennifer

      I'm in a magenta blouse under a baby blue buttoned cardigan - still a little cool here in the northeast today - with dark blue jeans. Oh, and my favorite flame colored copper feather earrings.

      This is my opinion, so take it for that. Fatigue is based more on what you eat. Eat a more healthy diet, and stay away from ultra-processed foods and that should help. Think of eating the way we did a couple hundred years ago before the industrial revolution. It's just a thought.   Jennifer

      Welcome back, Jennifer! As a relative newbie to the forum and to transition, I look forward to getting to know you and share in your experiences.

      I like the fact that you found support and have close members of your life. That is very important. No matter where you are on your journey, you have to have the support. Or you drift, and you question yourself.    Looking forward to your progress,   Jennifer

      The source of estrogen can matter. I started HRT at age 50. My avatar was the result. I started on pills, and moved to estradiol valerate injectables. However, there was a shortage, and I had to use a compounding pharmacy. The estradiol would evaporate in the vial, and couldn't get 5 doses out of it. I eventually move to the patch.    Over time I realized the patch wasn't working properly. And, the last time I visited my doctor he told me my estrogen levels were low. He asked me if I wanted to change to estradiol valerate. I jumped for joy. So I started my script for estradiol valerate. My prescription was ready, but I didn't receive my script for needles for a couple of weeks. So I bought my own (legal). I started with intramuscular injections. This requires a longer needle, and the estrogen is released into the muscles. It has a powerful effect right away but isn't stable. So by the time I took my next injection 2 weeks later, the estradiol in my bloodstream was almost gone. When I finally received my script for my needles, the needle was shorter. So the injection was subcutaneous. What is different with this type of injection as that the estrogen released is more even over 2 weeks (before the next injection). Interesting the syringe/needles my doctor prescribed are so much higher in quality. I am going to follow his path. My breasts are now perky again. And I will let my doctor guide me.    I wish you success on your journey. Let us know how things are proceeding. I am happy for you.   Jennifer

      Patches are the HRT method of least risk. Be aware of your estrogen levels with bloodwork. My doctor took me off patches because my estrogen levels were low. And put me on estradiol valerate injections. I have to say that made a big difference. Be aware of the changes. I don't know your age, or circumstances, but I would research available options of administering hormones.    There are other methods of taking estrogen, and you should research all of them. When my doctor changed my prescription to estradiol valerate amazing things happened. He was slow to prescribe the needles so I ordered them online. I have used injectables before. Getting the nerve to poke myself with the needle was a great hurdle to overcome.   As far as a rollercoaster feeling, I never felt that as much as the excitement of finally starting HRT. That overrode everything. I couldn't focus on how my emotions changed, for excitement trumped all emotions. Let the emotions of starting HRT settle, then make the decisions you feel will best benefit you.    Good luck with your journey,   Jennifer
