New boots new shop

19th August 2008, 21:24

Hi guys,

Just wanted to give you the heads up on a new pair of boots I've bought.

I found a new online store last night FindThatShoe.com and the boot collection is incredible. If you are into your trends they appear to stock a lot of up to date styles mostly to UK size 10 and occasionally to UK size 11 - and all at reasonable prices.

I have just ordered these in a size 9 hoping they will give a little but they say they are re-stocking and believe me I can't wait

Will try and post some pics when I get them. Happy shopping.

Yeah I must say I was aware of this website about a year ago but i've only registered here recently, they had some really nice pumps in UK10 but I didn't order quick enough and they were gone :( I was holding back because I wanted to find out how they packed the shoes. Could you let us know when you receive them if they are packaged discretely? I know this isn't an issue for some people but it's crucial for me at this stage...

Cheers!

Absolutely.

I requested in a comments box to have them packed discretely so fingers crossed they don't let me down - though I have been there before!

It was a case of just taking the plunge, I liked the boots too much to have waited for a perfect time as I know I'm just not going to get one.

Will keep you posted

What a find their boots especially the red ones are fantastic!

That is a nice site. I like their block heeled boots called "Cilla."

I recently came across the Jones Bootmaker website and found a similar pair of boots called Saxon that I like A LOT (and several other similar pairs), but unfortunately it is not available in my size and I'm really, really tempted to request them to offer it in larger sizes or I'll go to another site and request a similar style.

The boots you've purchased are hot! The'yd look fantastic with a skirt or skinny jeans etc.

The site is excellent as well. A great find indeed!

There are some perfect public starter heels for men, the best being the boot models "Lara", "Cilla", "Jilly", "Shelly" (my favs)and "Zeta". They are very classy and aren't cheap like most shoes/boots in larger sizes. I wouldn't think twice about wearing any of these models in public.

Bit of an update on my purchase - I have cancelled my order! They got in touch to inform me that they expect a new and exciting range of boots to be in store by the end of October in larger sizes and as I was ordering down a size or two, they recommended I returned at a later date to make sure I really value the purchase. Would love to have a new pair of boots in the post for tomorrow but I think it should be worth the wait.

I would like it to be known how much this store really desire to look after their larger sized customers. They commission a manufacturer to produce these styles specifically so that people who need to can get hold of fashionable styles in larger sizes. The correspondence I have had with them has been top class and there is no prejudice at all.

I will up date you all in November after reviewing their new collection.

Jezzaboots, "many thanks" for contacting a store or manufacturer and giving your comments on trying to find decent footwear that you like, in your size. The only way that we'll get suppliers to change is if we let them know what we are looking for.

I'm amazed that it always has to be some sort of "endeavour" to find a nice pair of wearable dress boots that we can wear. My tastes are pretty simple. I'm looking for a pair of tall, soft, dress riding-style boots with or without a zipper, that can be worn by men, and look tasteful. 1.5" block or cowboy heel. Some perfect examples would be like these:

Cordani "Jared" boot
Corso Como "Sasha" boot
Jones Bootmaker "Saxon" boot
Geox "Ascot" boot
The Findthatshoe "Cilla" boot, if you want a little bit more of a heel.
And if they had a pointed toe, even better.

I think if a manufacturer made more of these in larger sizes they'd sell quite a few.

These are really cute and would be great with a slightly higher heel...

Hi Bootsforme,

It is hard to find some nice boots for sure especially in a off the rack selection.
I have order a short time ago some boots from Gaborit Boots in France. Ordered the Siri and claire models. They have lots of boots to choose from as well. Looking forward to those.
Another producer of different style of boots is Fluevog Shoes and Boots in Vancouver BC. I have several differnet ones over the years which have been very good. I have asize 8UK/11 womens, I see some of here styles come in womens 12 which might work for you. I also am trying find a boot contact from the US that carries riding and western boots in alot sizes. I think it was West Coast riding boots... hmm will try to find that for you.
