Kalhoun, holy friggin crap, those shoes are hot to death!!! Wow, those are hot.
I can’t order from Zappa, because I need to try all shoes on…my feet are very fat.
These I copped from Macy’s, on a deep, deep discount. I love them so much.
They are a size 10 though. The boots you have there are so hard to find in a 10.

Nzinga, that’s the beauty of Zappos! You don’t pay for shipping. You can do like my boss just did when shopping for her wedding shoes; just have them send as many pairs as you’d like, try 'em all on, and send the duds back! Problem solved! Plus, no mall shopping.

pssst… Kalhoun. I came across a possible accessory to match your smokin’ boots.
These gourd purses are Peruvian, not Native American, but really cool, and maybe something you could create in your own style. (Ebay link)

That is a great idea! I’ve been trying to incorporate macrame into my gourds in a completely different way, but that would be perfect and functional! Thanks!
Now if I could only get my life back from my employer.
They are very comfortable, especially considering the 4" height. Cute with jeans. Better with a skirt
My only complaint is that the back strap tends to slide down. I’m going to see if super glue will help.

OMG those are cute! I love them! So feminine, too!

Please don’t take this the wrong way. I understand that women love shoes and purses, and I know that they loathe more of them than they like (uh, maybe). That said:
I found the shoes linked to in the OP to be absolutely hideous. I would never, ever, say as much to someone wearing them, but I would think it.
Based on the wide difference between my opinion, and those of other Dopers (plus the fact that I lack any fashion sense at all), is there any way for a guy to get a sense of what’s hot and what’s not in fashion? I say this only out of my own sense of diplomacy, I might still find something abhorrent, but I’d like to know how to tell a white lie should the need arise.
I’m not only ignorant in regard to womens footwear, it seems I’m also ignorant as far as Men’s footwear is concerned. I find almost all of Steve Madden’s sneakers to be super fugly.
I just can’t get behind the idea of certain fashion trends. Some I like, and might even adhere to, but most just seem different for the sake of being different.
All I know, is what I think looks good, and what I think doesn’t. This makes it hard for me to either lie about how much I like a person’s clothing, or telling them flat out that I think they look ridiculous. Relative silence has been working for me recently, but I dread any inquisition about my actual thoughts.

If those boots were worn with anything but straight leg jeans, I’d consider them fugly, too. You aren’t going to see the whole boot all the time; just an occasional peek at the detail. Oh well…to each his own, right?
[QUOTE=Queen Bruin]
Oooh I like those, Kalhoun. I just got two pair of these, in brown and in black. Nothing fancy, just general heels to get me through a few years. I luurrrrve them. I am pining for a new pair of boots but I can’t justify it right now.
[/QUOTE]
I’ve been looking for shoes like those! So far I’ve only found them in patent leather or with a 4-inch heel. Do they run true to size?
Damn, girls, looking good! My recent purchases have included these and I’m thinking about these .
I have a couple of others that are recent- a slinky paid of high heeled mid-calf black leather boots, and a cute pair of Steve Madden spike heeled boots that I found on clearance in San Francisco…

Pretty true. I think they may run wide, or I could just need a narrower shoe. I have Uma Thurman feet.
