Not really Hattie, they will be for not walking far ( even to show off :D) though they are comfortable, just if  am going out to lunch or dinner, I have two new pairs of

winter walking boots for comfort with much lower chunky heels.

HB they are from Joe Browns, I do love their styles but I do find I am disappointed when I do order as the material is not always good quality and I end returning.

The boots are nice though even if I did expect the suede to be softer for the price  ::)

I am in a huff now.

All the boots start from size 4 and I'm a size 3  :-\

I really liked them. If I wear flats I get sore legs.

HB you could be OK with size 4 as all sizes are small at Jo Browns, I am a 4 but always get a size bigger, when they are made in Asia.

I would risk it, you can always send them back and its easy to do.

I have really little feet. One is just a 3 and the other is 2 1/2. I have never been able to wear a 4.
It's annoyed me all my life  ::)

SL. I can just picture you in these.  Funny how you build an image in your head as to what someone looks like from what they post etc.  Does anyone else do that?
Title: Re: New boots
Post by: purplenanny on September 18, 2014, 09:59:23 PM
Yes, I think we once had a topic on what we thought each other looked like, it was great fun - does anyone remember? maybe CLKD ??

I remember, yes it was fun. Maybe we should do it again sometime as there are many new members.

 >:( well I'm throwing a tantrum! I have size 7 1/2 AA feet and can't wear heels. They say it is good to be different and boring to be average. But when it comes to my feet, I'd rather be average and boring. Ever since I was a little girl, I have dreamed of having red shoes!

Linsey I posted some pics on "pets we have known and loved" page 3 I think, I have not changed much so I am told, except that my hair is very short now, still got my trusty fringe though.

I have a picture in my head too of posters too.  Years ago we had a thread in "Private Lives" when we posted pics of ourselves when we were children, that was fun.

About a year ago, I bought some new organ shoes (needed for all the fancy footwork).  I sent away to the US for them, as the only ladies' ones you can get here are mega-frumpy.  I waited for them and waited for them, and after about five weeks, contacted the company to see if they'd be coming soon.  Turned out they had been out of stock, but had since arrived, so would I mind waiting another couple of week or so, for them?  Not at all, I told them.  Couple more weeks went past, then three weeks, then four - where were my shoes??  And then I had an idea - maybe, just maybe, they had been delivered to another flat in our complex.   After visiting eight of the neighbouring flats, sure enough, I managed to track them down.  (There's a 7 in our address, which looked for all the world like a 1 on the address label.)  So there was one very relieved neighbour, who hadn't known what on earth to do with them, and one very relieved organist.   Took the shoes back to our flat, tried them on - they were perfect.   Then what do you think happened??   Another identical pair arrived and (as I found out) paid for, two weeks later !   ::)   My order had somehow got duplicated.   Never mind - to cut a long story short, I now have one pair at church and one pair at home, so it greatly helps meno-brain, because I don't have to remember to take them with me on Sunday mornings!   ::)
