Hi everyone, oddly enough today I went shopping for heels in real life for the first time. I went to a payless a bit out of the way and it was pretty quiet, a few other people in the store and one clerk who was busy putting some new display up. (oddly enough a display of the very shoes I was there for )

http://www.payless.com/store/product/detail.jsp?catId=cat10376&subCatId=&skuId=096303100&productId=71602&lotId=096303&category=&catdisplayName=Brands

I am definitely a fan of the girly style. The more pink, color, the bigger the bow, the slimmer the stiletto.. not sure why but, that's my preference. I tried on a few pairs and finally found those that I was looking for.

(I am jealous of you guys blessed with smaller feet that can fit in a larger selection and availability of heels... Just putting that out there. )

So I unpacked both shoes and slipped them on and I felt very liberated being in public for the first time in high heels. I walked up and down the isle a few times to make sure they fit well and I boxed them up and made my purchase, with none other than a 15% off coupon. So That's my quick story of my first time in public with heels.. and on a deal even.

also as soon as i can get the pics off my phone I will post some here. I didn't get any in the store unfortunately, was to nervous to think of it then.

Hello and welcome.

Nice looking shoe, nothing wrong with your taste.

I'm not 100% sure, but you might need to have 5 posts made before you can add pictures. Looking forward to your next posts.

Very well done, on your shoe trying/buying outing.

Welcome. Nice shoes. Your off to a good start in buying/trying heels in the store.

Thanks all! I do have quite a large collection of shoes that I absolutely love; however, those were all bought online. So these red suade beauties already hold a special place in my heart as they are my first public heels.

MN? Maine? Manhattan? [i'm in the UK, so am unfamiliar with "MN"?]

"Heel up"? ...... Gathering?

I think I might be coming across as pretty dense?

oh no worries, Minnesota USA

and yes a gathering

[FastFreddy2 282]

oh no worries, Minnesota USA

Ahhhh. Thank you.

We struggle to get group meetings in the UK, even though we only have to travel 50/60 miles, or less. The (more frequent) heel meets in the US might mean travelling 1000's of miles?

And while on the subject of meetings ..... Have a peek at some shoes two of us off here saw today. [From another thread.]

One from New Look.

Same girl, same shoes style, different colour.

Second pair look slightly, familiar?

Oh that's so cool! I definitely noticed that's the style these days.

[heelman500 25]

Welcome and enjoy the site

Those are some really nice heels you bought there (Jealous .... You bet)

Do you have a lot of scope for heeling outside?

[char747 0]

I've got a few places I could try out. I'm in a well populated area so I'm sure to be spotted unless I go at night to start.

[FastFreddy2 282]

At night, I've found the noise of a heel can have a surprisingly acute effect on men with reasonable hearing. For some reason the sound of a pair of heels clip-clopping along a path almost guarantees a turned head, looking for the owner?

Pick somewhere noisy if possible. A number of us here have started our public heeling adventures at night, before progressing to daytime wearing. A well trodden route, if you'll pardon the pun.

Good luck.

There is a lake nearby that I go walking at on a regula basis. Fairly smooth path. I would know the terrain and it would be fairly unpopulated later at night. I'm considering making this my first trial run. What shoes to wear tho??

I may have to pull them out tonight. I'd also get a chance to take more pics for show and tell!

If you are walking around a lake at night, don't forget your lifejacket, unless you are wearing some of >> these <<

[Link care of Love4heels]

Seriously, be careful around water in the dark?

You may want to bring a extra pair of shoes just incase the heels will be to much struggle the first time out..

My taste in closed heels is a pointed toe pump. But - to me there is something appealing about this pump and I just might find myself being guided to Payless to try one on, and if so, I will relate the experience.

Posting from mobile so I don't have quote options:

Fastfreddy2:

The path is a good distance from the actual waterline so I should be good. Thanks though.

Love4heels:

That is a good idea. I do have a cute pair of flats. Red satin, on the tie they have a little jewel tied into a bow with 4 pearls dangling shortly from there. I'm doing them no justice describing them but I'll have them in my show and tell post.

Eoneleg:

They are a lot of fun to walk in, with a lot of added height. I like a pointed toe once in a while if the look is right. As long as its not super extreme and extends several inches past the usable toe bed.. I think that tends to look rediculous. I know a few years ago Jessica Simpson wore out that look. Now she's typically wearing a round or square toe.
