shyguy Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 Pin pumps by United Nude available for pre-order, I'm not sure myself but here's the link what do you guys think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FastFreddy2 Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 Bone ugly, I'm sorry to have to suggest.... Love metal heels, but not that style. I've seen a nicer version this week (Selfridges last night). Will try to find a link. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FastFreddy2 Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 (edited) Didn't take long to find, though I should be ashamed I hadn't remembered the designer .... (Only my fav...... Giuseppe Zanotti ) As I've remarked before, really like United Nude .... but G. Z. in a whole 'nother league. ........

shyguy Posted September 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 Those do look much better, also much more expensive. But if you had the cash then G.Z. would be the preferred option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FastFreddy2 Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 Those do look much better, also much more expensive Doesn't always work, but when you convert US$ to UK£ on arrival (meaning, add VAT and Import Duties), $295 is likely to become £295. That's not such a huge jump? Conversely, I'm pretty sure KG or Carvela do a shoe VERY similar to the U.N. style already. (Found it.) If I was in the market for a court shoe, I would wait for 'the sales' and buy with discount. If I couldn't buy with discount (out of stock) I'd just have to go without. (Again.) If this G.Z style becomes available in a leather ankle boot, I may be finding myself outside the doors of Selfridges on Boxing Day, queuing to get my size at a better price. From time to time I will do stupid things, and buying a pair of G.Z. boots would certainly qualify. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hh4evr1 Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 Not that impressed with the look of the original style picture. The platform looks like it stop short. I do like the ones posted by FastFreddy though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FastFreddy2 Posted September 11, 2012 Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 Another 'pin' heel, this time from Casadei. Good job it's not leather (and not available in my size?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hh4evr1 Posted September 11, 2012 Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 Nice. The heel doesn't look straight to me. Maybe its the picture angle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FastFreddy2 Posted September 11, 2012 Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 No, the metal heel does curve inwards. Not by much, but it puts the heel tip under the heel of the shoe instead of behind it. I would imagine it makes the style easier to walk in too.

Eoneleg Posted September 13, 2012 Report Share Posted September 13, 2012 I don't care for it. The way the plat is arranged, and the heel, they look like afterthoughts resulting in a rather bulky looking shoe, and not femenine. E Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FastFreddy2 Posted September 16, 2012 Report Share Posted September 16, 2012 Tried these on at Zara while out on Friday. Their UK8 sometimes comes up a bit small, but not these. But for the metal tip - which is okay style wise but a no-no for a man - these might have been purchased. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luvstrappyheels Posted December 21, 2012 Report Share Posted December 21, 2012 Not fem at all to me. They look like "grandma'" shoes that somehow fell apart. No offense to anyone.........just my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shyguy Posted February 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2013 Another United Nude design, I'm not sure I like it but I'd really like to try a pair out of curiosity. Priced at £175 though I don't think that's too likely here's a link to the page in case anyone wants to see more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FastFreddy2 Posted February 19, 2013 Report Share Posted February 19, 2013 Another United Nude design, That is the style that got me to notice U.N. As I've mentioned, I've a thing for metallic heels, and these would catch my eye (for a second look) whenever I saw them on-line. Waaay too expensive, and fairly impractical for my usual needs, so never a runner - even at sale prices. But very attractive/interesting heel. My most recent, preferred style from U.N. is one I've noticed on the well-known auction site priced at £200. >>> clicky << Down to £115 in the end of season sale, but not in my size. (Thankfully).

shyguy Posted February 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 Never thought these would be shoes you'd see in the wild so to speak. Nice catch.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FastFreddy2 Posted February 25, 2013 Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 When I pointed out the £200 'shopping shoes' to Mrs Freddy (who was acting as camouflage at the time) her remarks were not very flattering, despite their price...... I think, on balance, they might have been better appreciated in more attractive circumstances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FastFreddy2 Posted February 26, 2013 Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 I'd forgotten I'd 'snapped' this. Screen shot taken last year off the TV, during a morning news/magazine programme. Only rediscovered it when doing some housekeeping on the computer. (Back too painful to do much else. ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shyguy Posted February 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2013 Nice spot again Freddy, thanks for posting these pictures of the shoes actually being worn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
