My First New Pair of Heels

[Joanne108]

I just bought my first pair of high heels. I was at Payless early so I grabbed a pair of black size 12, 3" heels tried them on. Walked a bit, I was a little unsteady. The associate came around the corner while I was trying to walk in them. I wobbled a bit. She said "Are you dressing up for Halloween?" I said "Yes I'm going to be a high priced hooker". She laughed and said you'll have to get that walking in heels thing down first!" She told me to take small steps in the heels until I got used to them. I 'practiced' a bit then bought them. I felt so great at having high heels that actually fit that I wore them the rest of the day!

Glad you like the heels, there nothing more sexy than a pair of high heels. I only got 2" heel becuse I'm 6' 2" tall, but that still looks good with a knee length skirt and hose. Hope you have lots of fun with them! Hugs, Bria

I'm so happy you found a pair and that you were able to get some guidance on how to walk in them. I would like to buy my husband a pair but don't know what a size 9 man's shoe would convert to being in a woman's shoe. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. :)

That is wonderful. Enjoy them. Heels are fabulous. And she gave you good advice. Take small steps.

That's the excuse I gave the first couple of times. Now I look at the Payless website, find what I want, check to see if they are in stock atone of my three local stores, then walk in, try them on, take them to the register and pay for them, and out the door I go. I don't want to be limited to shopping once a year.

Veronica, the best advice I can give you is to actually measure his feet, using a women's measuring template. (Payless had a downloadable one that I used; they probably still have it.) I've found that I'm 10-1/2 in men's sizes, but 11W in women's. The old "add 1 (or 2) to your men's size" rule of thumb isn't always accurate; look at the foot, not the shoe.

Thank you Amy, I'll look for that and use it if it's still there. You've been a great help ;)

So, the next time after Halloween you go back to that same store and see the same SA, what will your excuse for buying heels be then?:heehee:

Hi Joanne, Payless is my down fall I'm supporting three Payless stores in the Baltimore area.

[julia marie]

Joanne. Congrats on the new heels. Enjoy them. As far as Payless goes, the associates I've met there have been great, even when they know that we aren't dressing for Halloween.

[Janine cd]

I bought my first pair of heels in a Venture discount store more than 30 years ago. Since then, I have bought all of my heels at Payless and have found that the associates have been super.

[Lynn Marie]

Heels are everyone's downfall. CD's, TS's, and a great many women have been captured by the lure of high heels. There is no cure. You're done for. You'll never be the same. LOL

[heatherdress]

Joanne - congratulations on the new high heels. My first pair were from Payless. Wear them often and enjoy them.

[Beverley Sims]

After Halloween when you go back tell her that you liked the heels so much that you have decided to buy the store. :)

[Megan Nicole]

Awesome! Guessing they don't have anything cute in a mens size 13........

[KristyE]

Thanks Amy. Ive been wondering how to translate mens 12 to girls whatever. Shoe shopping for the newbie seems daunting but Im dieing for some heels. Love, Kristy

[ericalynn]

Payless is the place to go for bargains on heels!

[Joanne108]
