Heels

Welcome to Heels4mem. Don;t be quiet since we need more active members on here. Its getting boring with just me and 1 other posting most of the stuff on here. I have started to cut down on the amount of posts I put on here. No one wants to add anything to posts so it seems just a waste of time me posting anything.

Had been watching this pair on Ebay. i liked them but not as much as the other pair of C,L, I posted on here.. It's the Pigalle model with an 4 inch heel but the heel looks higher in the photo. Went for the same price I paid for the other pair.

Being trying to think If I was to go out wearing a pair of heels which pair from my collection would be the most suitable to wear out. Now I have worn heels out. I think maybe 4 or 5 times now but not at least 3 years now.

I have myself noticed, a seller of this brand recently. I was tempted by these:

 

Starting price was in the 'affordable' price range, with only one bidder so far.

Tempted/tempting ... 

You may find both pairs shown  are from the same seller. I did notice that he also had a pair shown here listed but not in my size. I remember some time ago I did buy a pair of heels from leatherworks like the pair shown here but with a slingback strap. There was no way I could fit my feet in them so got returned.

I even managed to find a photo of the pair I'm talking about.

I,m not buying them at the moment but may change my mind later

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

These are the mules I bought couple of weeks ago.

I have a major problem when it comes to shoes  with ankle straps. Sometimes I can do them up easy or on the rare occasion I just can't do them up. Those last heels shown could be a major problem for me That strap seems to be placed right in the wrong place for me to be able to do up easy.. Knowing my luck if i had to sell them on again I expect to onlty get half what I paid for them.

I can't do those straps up the River Island heels. Not a problem I thought, those straps can be removed and I have another pair of straps I could use. I thought those replacement straps would be longer but are not, but on the heels they come of from I can do up easy. Both sets of straps  are set on different parts of my ankle.

Just bought this pair from New Look. In stores at the moment.

Made a bid on this pair last night sort of got out bid at the last moment. I could of put  another higher bid in but they went for £45 in the end. It was a private listing which sort of put me off and i don't want to pay over retail price. Still a very good looking shoe. 

I am also doing some research into CL shoes. I think the So Kate Model would be a better fit then the Pigalle model for me any way.  I think I might have to go to a CL store in the end.Try a few pairs on and find the model that suits me best. I don't think the pair I bought were fake. Truth I am sort of glad I was able to return that pair I bought. Might be worth spend a little more and get a new pair from a shop.

It is very rare for me to leave negaive these days. With sellers being forced to give full refunds including return postage I see no need to give any feedback at all.. I only give negative feedback if the seller gives me hard  time  in trying  to avoid giving me a refund or II don't receive a full refund. 

Bought 2 more pairs of high heels from Ebay. One pair from River Island and the other pair from Faith.

I might be wrong with this but if you don't agree to cancel the seller ends up paying listing fees.  Then open an item not recieved case in due course to get your money back.

 I didn't marry her because she was a smoker.Another in a long list of 'youthful' mistakes made by myself...

Being a non smoker myself I can understand you not marrying a smoker

Seller has her shoes back and I have my refund. I now have to start another case for as I been sent a pair of shorts when I bought a skirt. Wanted to wait for my refund before I started this case.

Still looking for a pair of CL  heels,. after a pair of the So Kate Model. These are meant to have a wider but shorter toe box. Going to be more careful this time.

I,m sure I have seen a pair just like those in the photo but without the platform. Might even have a photo somewhere.

I didn't  fondle those shoes that much. Sort of took them out of the box, took  some photos. and put them back in the box.I did managed to check something out whist I had those heels out. Just comparing them to another pair of heels that I own. I explain in more details with photos once I have my refund.

I understand why she gave me her works address. She know she be at work and would have to go the post office to colllect them but had I posted to that address she could claim that I never returned them.I have been onto Ebay chatrooms and have been told it be ok to send by the label provided by Ebay.

Have already opened a case with Ebay this molrning. It was the only way I could get the correct address.registered with Ebay.  I now have to print the address off and send the parcel off It will go tracked. I might have to up this to special Delivery. Like you say it;s the only way the parcel should be sent.

She did get  back to me and agreed for me send them back. I,m at the momet trying to get the correct address registered with Ebay. She sent her work address with no name on it and I don't think its the correct address.

i did contact the seller at  about 9pm last night.

The label on the box the heels came. Has them marked as So Kate 120 metal patent. So the seller got the bit about the  model  right.

How stupid am I? Didn't even think to look.    (It was late. )

Your not the stupid one,  I,m the stupid one. Should of known better i did see that they were listed as a size !0uk and should of asked the seller what the true sizing is.. Sort of rushed in and made couple of offers which she accepted. As the photo showing the size, it,s not that clear. The amount of times I spot a listing with the wrong details is unbelievable. It's a lot.

Going have to speak to the seller as I have already have them. Not sure how to go about this. Ebay might not give  a refund if they think I got the size wrong.

 Did manage to take a heel measurement, which is 130mm

Did say this morning that I,m not have much luck on Ebay at the monent.  Well I had another item delivered today. Completely wrong item sent. Another item needs returning. Not lookjng good for me at the moment, with me having to open all these Ebay cases.

Not sure there is a happy ending here though ... I think the biggest womens size they do is a 42. I am going to be amazed if the ones you have bought are a UK10. I think the seller is confused and they are a US10 (UK8.)

I think you could be right. I thought that was as over sight of sight from the seller.  Had another look at the photos, They show them as a size 40 which is a size 7 maybe 8uk. The photo not that clear but they could be a 41. Explains why the heel look 

Not doing very well on Ebay at the monent.

I do know what the brand is and is a well known brand. I don't expect to be able to wear them but been wanting to own  a pair for sometime now. As for the heel height, it could well be more like 130mm.

I will give you more details when I get them. Been told by the seller the heel is 120mm. They do look bigger in the photo..
