Slim Pickings

Recommended Posts

Today FastFreddy2 and myself met up on Oxford Street for a shoe browsing expedition (For want of a better description) Both having a look at and looking out for high heels being worn. And before you ask apart from ourselves we saw no other men in heels!

The title says it all though...... With a few very notable exceptions, the female populace shopping in London today had a propensity for wearing flats:-(

After a coffee and chat I browsed Debenhams shoe floor..... The sale is on but not a great deal in my size! We had a walk to house of Fraser. Now there were several pairs of very nice heels.... Including the NineWest stilettos which I had previously seen at Westfield but were still priced at £65.

After a good browse and being spotted by the male assistant, we headed for Selfridges.

It seemed our luck was changing as the first thing we saw was a lovely young lady trying on some fabulous steel heeled stiletto ankle boots. This alone was worth the trip into London.

After a good wander around the whole shoe gallery, we had descended to the ground floor when I came across a gorgeous blonde wearing bronze stilettos.... These again were worth the journey!

We visited Next, but due to the sale, it looked like a jumble sale! We didnt stick around there very long. A visit to New Look followed, where you can always be assurred of the sight of high heels being tried on... Again we were not disappointed.

The afternoon ended with a quick browse of Primark..... Again lots of nice women trying on some really nice heels.

Pics will follow

That was quick! :D

While the place was very busy, high heels were few and far between. But the few pairs we did see being worn were both notable and very attractive. B)

It didn't rain, and was quite mild out. I'd go again. ;):D

I had 30 minutes to wait at Marylebone, so I thought I would get the story online. Freddy if you can get any pics on that would be appreciated, I,ve got the iPad here and it is not very good for uploading to the web from it's memory (Or I don't know how to do it!

But I totally agree, I would go again..... Especially midweek when the offices are emptying out!

Two from Selfridges. Pretty low light, which meant the camera shutter was a bit slow. Piccies a little blurred, but you'll get the idea. B)

One from the street.

These looked pretty much perfect 'men wearing heels' boots. ;)

Well Freddy,

Those pics came out very well considering the equipment.

I must say that we got away with not being noticed (apart from House of Fraser - and he wasn't bothered) and I am not sure if I prefer a little positive comment or remain incognito as it were.

But anyway a very enjoyable afternoon.

Nothing wrong with the equipment, that street shot is perfect. But using the half-light deep inside shops would be a struggle from anything other than specialised digital camera's. B)

Given the subjects were moving most of the time, getting a picture at all is to be commended. ;)

The poor quality images added to the thread, are from my (once retired) Nokia phone. :(
