FastFreddy2 Posted December 21, 2010 Report Share Posted December 21, 2010 Schuh have had a patent court shoe available for what must be better part of a year. Plastic (okay, synthetic), but blooming expensive at £50. Lois What makes these unusual, is they have a 5" heel. I bought a pair in black, returned them, and bought them again 6 months later. They come up a bit small, so I can't get them on when it's hot. There seems to be something odd about the shoe shape too, as they feel MUCH higher than 5", and I struggle to walk correctly in them. But I do enjoy a challenge. :smile: Read the reviews. Makes very very very entertaining reading. ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FastFreddy2 Posted December 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2010 Typical. These shoes have been around for some time. I finally gave in and purchased a second pair (having checked for correct sizing and quality with a 'first' pair - that I subsequently returned to a local store as they failed my VFM test) with me making the second purchase because they didn't appear to be getting into "Sale" stock and I've got very little self-control around Christmas. And these have been available for some considerable time after all ... :smile: I believe I made my final purchase in early November, having decided it was better to have some that failed the VFM test, rather than not own a pair. :smile: They've just gone down in price! Finally getting into the Sale stock. Size 8's still thin on the ground, but they are about.... Red has always been my favourite colour for shoes .... :smile: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FastFreddy2 Posted January 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2011 (edited) Bought a pair in blue tonight from the Oxford Street store .... £24.95 I don't suppose we have any members in either Belfast or West Lothian could visit their local Schuh store to get me a red pair.

FastFreddy2 Posted January 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 Found last night on Schuh website, a red pair in a 41 had been returned to Westfield in West-ish London. Rang them this morning, and still in stock, so had them put to one side. Rang them tonight before travelling, to make sure they were still there. [bit of a trip see.] Got to the store .... no-one could find them ..... They'd been left on the upper floor [mens section] next to the telephone there. Colour of my face matched the shoes .... Boy, was I expecting to launch into 'grumpy customer' .... Pictues soon. Promise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hh4evr1 Posted January 14, 2011 Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 I'm jealous now. I like the Lois Schuh courts. If they don't fit pass them on to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FastFreddy2 Posted January 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 I'm jealous now. I like the Lois Schuh courts. If they don't fit pass them on to me. Bad news I'm afraid .... Can't walk in them though. They are snug, definitely not strolling around the park shoes. As I've mentioned before, there's something about the shape of the rise (the curve) that makes them feel higher, and are certainly harder to walk in than just about every other pair of shoes I own. Will have to do the piccies tomorrow. Lakeside is calling. [Rather, the wife is getting impatient. ] .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to kick my self at not getting a pair last year when I originally saw them. Kick yourself even more ... They're half price now? Hope you enjoyed Lakeside. Got back from Lakeside/Bluewater around midnight. 10 hour shopping gig including an hour each way travelling. Two small breaks, so effectly 7 hours shopping. Enough for anyone.

FastFreddy2 Posted January 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2011 Tried the red courts on tonight for about 20 seconds. One or two minor scuffs on them, but they were 'returns' and they were half price. Good news is they fit better than both the black or the blue pairs. Still can't walk in them. Hopefully, pictures tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heelman500 Posted January 16, 2011 Report Share Posted January 16, 2011 Those heels are to die for, but I just know that even if they had my size, I too would not be able to walk in them.

FastFreddy2 Posted January 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2011 (edited) Had a walk around on a carpeted floor today.
