I have made several trips into London recently and was struck by how popular PVC and PU seem to be these days. Slinky PVC certainly seems to have come in from the cold lately as far as the high street goes - it's family-friendly now, found in popular fashion shops, and seen worn frequently along the high streets as well. I noticed it starting to come back into vogue a coupe of years ago and instead of being a flash in the pan seems to have gathered momentum, if anything.  

Yes, it is! And I agtee with you; it's not 'bad'

But concerning the heels, I do prefer high quality leather above all other materials

I am highly sceptical of social media ever accomplishing anything other than disquiet and enforcing a sort of mob rule - tyranny by Twitter. If anything, enforcing a broad and common mediocrity on the world. A livelier forum here, an engaging exchange of ideas, would probably accomplish more.

I agtee with you, concerning Twitter.

Instagram (your life in pictures) is a bit of a diffetent thing, if you use it properly (in this case promotion of heels)

The group of people that love heels on Instagram is enormous!

I'm willing to give it a try.

There just aren’t that many people who are active here. Your burst of activity prompted me to join in so hopefully others will follow suit. 

Well..it's a start, right?

Let's see what happens from now on.

And ..I take that as a compliment!

Theres ebay, and there is ebay stores - ie more to the point is which ebay sellers do you find the best deals (including shipping), range, and a good delivery time?

Morning!

I got the point and I know the difference.

Since I buy a specific high quality vintage style they're hard to find in the ebay shops in the usa. Mainly I buy them from people.

There's 1 guy running an Ebay shop in France, that has good vintage. I have to look up his name.

To put things in perspective, can you please tell us:   

• What is your foot size?   
• What is the highest heel you are comfortable in?   
• Do you wear heels outside, in male mode or otherwise?

Hello Puffer!

Yes, I can.

Shoe size 40

3 inch is the most 'comfortable' for me (stiletto) but I'm trying 5 inch, which is extremely tough, but the ultimate for me. Have you seen the photo's of my boots?

No, I do not wear them outside, in the open. But I do practise quite a lot at quiet places.

Mind you, that was a ten year-old post. No doubt they've long since been worn out. 

Indeed, it's an old post.

But I'm reading everything that's been said, to get an idea who is who and what's going on. And it helps, because we're chatting again!

Yes, you can say that you 'love' them - but not that you are loving them (which implies a transient and possibly fetishistic interest)!

Thank you for your explamation! :-)

It would be nice to do get this forum running in a livelier way. I don't like FB, Twitter etc anyway - have never joined and never will. 

Morning gents :-)

The question in if social media will help, but I do think so, if you use it properly.

At least, by talking about this, there's some movement already :-)

Wearing more heels this year, for sure!

And maybe a bit mote sports would do!

I'm not interested; I'm here for the heels. 

Although ypu could say that my thigh high's are legwear, haha!

I'm not a fan of TV "reality show" participants (Abi Clarke shown here) who keep themselves in the public eye by revealing how much plastic surgery they've had .... But I liked these shoes. A proper high heel, and as I've been saying for years, I like the effect of clear uppers. (As close as we'll ever come to the 'glass slippers' Cinderella may have been associated with.)

 

Pretty sure she's not demonstrating the heels, but it'll do for me.

Indeed proper heels!

5 inch, I'd say!?

Would be nice if the owners would wake up and join our conversation :-)

Just spotted some boots on the Office web site. Very manly, (VERY manly) but a little rich for my tastes (£80) at the moment. Maybe in the January sales?

 

 

 

 

Also seen there, basic leather court from Ted Baker. £100?

 

 

 

 

I suppose Ted Baker is better known than say, ALDO......

The Aldo's!!

If I ever have a sectetary ;-)

That's an easy one for ne :-)

my calf leather thigh high's :-)

I try to store my collection under my bed but tend to keep  them on my bed room floor. I tend to keep the heels  I wear the most on the floor and only put them away when I have a tidy up or I have visiters. 

Would be nice someday to store my collection like this.

 

I rented a small space in the M3 selfstorage ;-)

High heel sandals

What do u think?

Personally.. I'm don't like platform shoes, but this pair is quite nice!

Found this pair of mules on Ebay. They are from Leatherworks.

You found them... but did you buy them? ;-)

As someone who likes (most) of the Royal Windsor family .... This seems pertinent regarding mothers-back-in-heels.

It does however, rather support my notion that staying slim might be a factor in going back to a high heel. "Queen in waiting", Kate Duchess of Cambridge, is seldom out of a heel, I am pleased to say. 

 

She's just sooooooo elegant. 

 

More >> here <<

 

 

She wears amazing heels!

So feminine!

I buy most of my heels on Ebay USA or Ebay Germany. Never had any issues with that, other than the fact that customs take some time.

Still having problems with the camera. I used to be upload the photos via windows media player and edit the photos I wanted to keep but now the photos are going straight to file. Means more work to sort out the photos. These are the current heels I bought. 

 

         

The classis black patent sandals, first picture on thevright, adorable ones!

It would seem the Tokologo style from ALDO has been removed from the 'sale' range and is back to full price.

I wonder, could I return the ones bought over the weekend claiming: 'lost receipt' and get a credit note for the (current) full price .... doubling my investment?  Sadly, not.  

 

I've noticed that with some brands, the loss of one or more sizes in a style, coincides with that style slipping into the sale category. At the time the Tokologo had joined the sale section, a UK8 wasn't available online. (Coincidence.) It was also part of a small range that had been discounted during the "Black Friday" week/fortnight. With the size 8 available again, maybe there's no reason for it to be part of the 'sales' line? The B/F promotion has ended too, so it could be that instead?

 

Something slightly more enigmatic is the disappearance of a style called >> Capestick << from the UK ALDO website. This link is to the US ALDO site.

A Google search still offers the same address as my bookmark, but it only produces an error page. I saw the shoe in store on Sunday too? I hope the style returns, as the shoe fits like a glove, but at £90 it was too expensive for my budget. I had been optimistic it might appear in a sale over the Cringlemas/New Year period.  

 

Thosr heels are...wow!

My compliments, mijnheer.   And mind how you go in those clogs. 

Haha!

Thank you! :-)

I do preger my thigh high's above the clogs, if you don't mind ;-)

Yes, Maxima, along with the Spanish and Danish queens, seems to favour stylish heels.   One day, we might find Queen Kate on the throne here in hers.

I have no involvement at all with any 'social media' (intrusive and time-wasting) and I doubt use of it will help us that much, but try it if you wish.

I'm ok with that, but I think the proper way should be asking the moderators first, right?

As a matter of English grammar, 'I'm loving' connotes a rather different concept to that of 'I love' and your actual activity (however transient) in relation to this footwear worries me somewhat.      Please behave with discretion.

Nice boots by the way; I admire and like them. 

Oh, don' worry.

I behave, I'm just b;lond and Dutch.

How do I know? ;-)
