  • I’ve got a thing for shoes!

    I’ve always had a thing for shoes.. Weather it’s a pair of stilettos or a sling back with a tiny kitten heel, for some reason shoes to me make’th the woman! Well not really. It’s a little silly to say something like that. But I will confess, before buying an outfit, I choose a pair of shoes first. Now that I’m in the middle ages of my life, my poor calf muscles have suffered from wearing the occasional 4″ heel and, I will fully admit, I now have a tendency to buy a lesser heal. That leads to the problem of availability and wants and desires. I can buy a pair on international web sites that arrive in AUS reasonably quickly but I cant find a lot of low heel shoes offered in Australia. It’s amazing that the US an UK can have shoe sites that cater for bigger feet (size 12/1/2) but there are few here. I guess I’m going to have to continue to troll the internet sites and then buy the outfit to match through the same portal!
    Just light hearted banter girls .. :)

    Hi Bridgette, regarding shoes in Australia. It was ever a problem and a very frustrating one too, I have bought shoes from the US and UK but found the variance in size can be tad risky. Luckily the shops these days have a return and exchange service, even if it is time consuming.
    If you don’t know the company, Rosengbergs have shoes in a wide variety of sizes and fittings and a variety of heel sizes. This could be a solution for you.

    Me too – although “always” in my case was vicarious and has only very recently been able to be exercised :)

    Whilst large size availability is definitely an issue, my large plates (compounded by bunions) need extra wide fittings. I have tried the online Chinese sellers but invariably they are narrower fittings,.

    Morning All,

    Shoes are one fetish I certainly share. The first impact was observing women wearing stiletto heels when I was still very young; bam, instant impact. When I was growing up there was a period when mules were all the rage and they amplified the impact (and I notice they have the same effect on others when I wear them). I’ve amassed a fairly large collection over the years and I recently had a clean out. It was embarrassing to find there were several pairs I had only ever worn once or twice; thank goodness for ebay.
