Ludovic 4 Report post Posted November 14, 2011 (edited) Stopped at a big department store that usually carries low price stuff. They are apparently the exclusive resellers of Alfred Sung PURE line of shoes... Not too expensive 30 to 50 dollars. Here's a picture of 3 of the 4 models I tried earlier today. Again, didn't buy anything as I have yet to have this approved by the Significant Other. The other model I tried is a bit similar to this, without the studs, in light brown leather, higher on the ankle and a thicker but lower heel. Well, reading this it's not similar at all... http://1.bp.blogspot...hion%2B2011.jpg Edit: this is more like the style I tried: http://www.aldoshoes.com/static/webUpload/731/26_maytorena_38_6.jpg Edited November 14, 2011 by Ludovic Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Christmas [they tell me] is less than six weeks away .......... [bar-humbug. ] The other model I tried is a bit similar to this, without the studs, in light brown leather, higher on the ankle and a thicker but lower heel. Well, reading this it's not similar at all... Learner? [Over here Leaner writers drivers have to have a large red "L" on a white square displayed .... whilst writing ... oops ... whilst driving. ] The last link takes us to some very 'on trend' shoes. Over here they are referred to as 'military' style boots. ..... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ludovic 4 Report post Posted November 30, 2011 Well that solves the problem I can't upload the pictures through the crappy picture. And for Mr Freddy, yeah, that sentence made no sense... So the grey boots were pretty tall and not superbly comfortable. I like the motorcycle style as it wasn't standing out so much. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ludovic 4 Report post Posted December 13, 2011 Neede some change of mind so at lunch I went a different location of the same chain of store. I was there a good 20 minutes. I retried the tall grey boots but they didn't have my size. I tried a total of 7 pairs consisting of boots, peep toes, pumps and sandals. There was a woman who saw me as i tried on a pair of beige leather booties with a wedge heel. No comments or snicker that I could perceive but there's no way she didn't notice. She was inches away when I remove the boot and revealed my stockinged feet. Pictures soon. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have to admit, I think I've always got moral support with me when I'm trying on womens shoes ....... I might be on my own when I'm trying them on, but I've always got 'International Rescue' circling somewhere. Frankly, I'm impressed. Looking forward to seeing some piccies.

Ludovic 4 Report post Posted December 20, 2011 Finally, it's pics time. I'll multiple posts since I'm a lazy bum who doesn't feel like editing his pictures... Black boots, very comfy. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ludovic 4 Report post Posted December 20, 2011 The same grey boots from an earlier post in this thread. Not as uncomfortable as I thought but a tad too snug... would need hald a size up. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ludovic 4 Report post Posted December 20, 2011 Glittery silver heels, only tried them because they didn't have my size in black. I think they are horrible in that colour. But man, were they high!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FastFreddy2 282 Report post Posted December 20, 2011 (edited) On balance, my fav's would still be the grey boots. The shoes look great, but I just can't hold that type of footwear on my feet very easily. I use V.5 of Paintshop Pro. It's very basic, very easy to use. I tend to rotate and crop quite a bit, plus lose some of the distracting background by using the 'clone' feature to make the background as plain as possible. This adjustment took about 4 minutes. And 3 minutes of that was losing the yellow labels, and red shelf edging. Reason for edit: Edited piccy added.
