I agree those boots are hot hot hot!

I am sorrry to hear that.
I managed to get some time away from my partner today, a rare event these days, and I thought that I would go into My fav. local store TK Maxx in my heels, but I chickened out in the end, but did go in in my shorts and tried on a couple of pairs. One I liked was 41/2" Morgan peep toes, but I opted out at the end. Telling myself that I did not really need them just now and that I could put the money to better use.
I was fun trying them on in my shorts. No one took any notice. I had a pair of slacks in the car, but chose not to put them on.
Great day.

I had a great experience at Macy's today. My favorite shoes, a black pair of Nine West "Lucero" pumps are getting a bit worn and I have been unable to find another pair of black pumps that I really like. Today I went to the mall on a computer related errand and decided to just take a look at Macy's and I found a pair of the exact shoes in my size! I grabbed it and handed it to the clerk who retrieved them. When she returned, she handed me the box and a pair of footies! She didn't even ask or hesitate, just assumed that I was buying them for myself. It is the very first time in YEARS of shoe shopping that a clerk just assumed that the heels were for me. I will be sure to give her good feedback on the Macy's Website.

Went to Brent Cross (North London) yesterday. Only went to Fenwicks, home of the good shoes sales. I'd only gone for a look, as I have all the shoes I need for the next 30 years .....

That said, there was a pair of boots there, reduced from £150 to £55 that took my fancy. Size 7, so probably too small, but I thought to try them on.


As a reminder, I've had a lot of good experiences here. With a short period just after Christmas with one young Asian fella practically following me around to help me with womans shoes. Another time, another Asian girl assistant offering me the pair to try on, I'd asked for. (Which I declined.)


Yesterday, the shop wasn't that busy, though it was quite late in the day when I arrived. Some of the assistants were going around tidying up, and in seeking to avoid the offer of help from a tall good-looking black girl, I wandered off to the mens section to try the boot. My HD boot off, and sale boot half on, the pretty girl came over anyway. Well, the look of shock on her face almost scared me!

I smiled, and got a smile in return, but it was an automatic response.

Minutes later, I saw her buried in conversation with two colleagues. Possibly, despite her 25+ years, she'd never seen men trying heels before. Obviously led a sheltered life?

I had a good look around, but couldn't find anything else to try on, to entertain the young lady further.


Maybe next time.

Do you try shoes at the store before buying them?

I'm waiting to find someone to go with I think... not ventured into town with anything different on before!

Every time I go into a shoe shop I try on shoes and not just the men shoes. If you don,t want to try shoes on in a public place you could aways try them on in the changing room or your car. If you don,t like them just take them back or swap them before you go home.

Where are you in "England"?

There are few things I know of, as entertaining to me as shoe shopping. I can bring a girl 'as cover' if required, and either one likes shoe shopping too.


Maybe not such a useful offer if you are in Manchester though.

I'll ask, next time I'm there.
