Ladies - recent shoe purchases (2 Viewers)

[krystal]

I fear that lifestyle has become too male dominated of late and that there have not been enough threads about lovely shoes.

my latest 2 lovely shoes have been a pair of orange leather slingbacks with metallic leather rosettes at the toes and a pair of red suede and black patent leather heels from topshop which I am actually in love with.

Kirstie, why do you think that all women are Sex & The City wannabe's like you? Banging on about shoes all day as if it means something?



Birds, wha?

Last pair I got was a pair of waterproof trail shoes by Regatta. I got them in some shop in the Ilac centre in the january sales for €60 (reduced from €90) and Ive worn them almost every day since. Theyre starting to get a bit worn out now - the soles are a bit thin but theyre still not leaking so im hoping to make it to the next january sales before i have to go near a shoe shop again.

yeah, could you not start a thread about which washing up liquid gets the dishes you have your man's dinner waiting on for him after his hard day at the office extra sparkling and clean? Something that all the women will be interested in

I haven't bought shoes in a while but I recently bought a nice frock so am in the market for a killer pair of heels to vamp it up. Feel free to post pics of gorgeous shoes to get the shoe shopper in me riled up.

On another note Kirstie, I'm addicted to that damn blog of yours. I hope you and your sis are getting loads of freebies for all the effort youse are putting in.

Yesterday saw my desperately flapping around the shops looking for shoes to match the dress I bought for a wedding which is on this Friday. I only had yesterday to look. Time was not on my side.

Anyway, eventually grabbed a pair of teal coloured patent heels in Topshop. Patent - I thought I'd stab myself in the thighs sooner than buy patent leather shoes but they're actually grand. They've a little strap across the front. Cheap and cheerful, grand job. I :heart: teal.

Other recent shoe purchases include a pair of pretty ruby coloured slingback in NineWest. I wanted the green but they didn't have my size.
Sorta roundy-square toe. Deadly. Nine West know shoes.

[krystal]

Here I know this is a women thread but I have a quick shoe related question.

I bought a pair of camper shoes/boots about two months ago. On one shoe the stitching has just started to separate on the achilles and because they got really wet one day they're starting to slightly rot and stink a bit.

I have the reciept somewhere, bought in the camper store.

Can I bring em back and expect replacement? They were kinda pricey. The water damage doesn’t look noticeable, not to me anyway.

 

[Zeelander]

Er, no!! Just had to stock up for The Christmas.

Lefty, you should be able to get a replacement for your boots. If you can show that the stitching has separated after around two months, then they're faulty and the shop can't quibble over it.

Oooh SHOES!!! .|..| .|..|

I bought a pair of square toed chunky heeled creamy suede heels with a bit of a tassle on the toe in Oasis in Cork a few weeks ago. I love them. They are pretty high but comfy and soft and so girly. I wear them to work with dark grey trousers and a cream wrap top. Fave work outfit.

Going to London on Thursday and will be staying near Oxford Street - any shoe shops in the area anyone would recommend????

afaik, camper have a fairly good returns policy if there's something actually wrong with the shoe (eg the stitching separating after only a couple of months) - bring 'em back.

speaking of camper shoes, i am coveting a couple of pairs of their ladies shoes right now - one pair kind of goldy-coloured flats with a strap, one in plain black with a wedge heel.

 

[krystal]

Ah, I understand. That was what my most recent purchase was for too. Well, that was my excuse in anyways.

Er, no!! Just had to stock up for The Christmas.

Any pair of Camper shoes I've had have actually been hopeless pieces of badly fitting shit. I had a pink pair with icecreams on them, the strap snapped after about a month. When we were in Iceland this summer the shoes I had taken with me for walking in crippled me to the extent I ended up buying this frump-a-licious pair of Campers much against my better judgement. Guess what? The fabric insole started to shred almost immediately and of course I can't return them as buying a return flight to Reykjavik for the purposes of would just be a BIT SILLY.
