Shoe Lust


By Jillsabs - Posted on 04 September 2006

shoes3-180-x-135.jpgAside from vanity, my other favorite sin is lust. But rest assured that you won't have to lock your door to read this post because I'm not talking about THAT kind of lust (that's for another site altogether) but of shoe lust. I inadvertently discovered this site a few days ago and promptly fell in lust love with all the pretty pretty [tag]shoes[/tag] for sale.

Admittedly they are very eye-catching pairs, but I still wonder if they are comfortable enough to actually walk in. I've had many disastrous experiences with beautiful pairs which would eventually turn out quite nasty and painful for my poor feet. Needless to say, I've learned my lesson in buying footwear that's why, more often than not, I'm in my trusty [tag]Havaianas[/tag] (a.k.a. over-priced but so worth it slippers). Another thing is that I have wide feet so I have become particular with buying shoes that won't pinch or rub on my not-so-skinny peds. Still, in spite of my precautions, I sometimes end up with a pair that can potentially give me blisters, and to think that I already tried the pair on inside the store. Given all this, I then wonder what my batting average will be in buying shoes online?

Has anyone bought a pair from The Purchaser? How was it comfort-wise? Please do share :)

This is Zen from the Purchaser. I know it will sound like we're blowing our horn here, but most of our clients say that our shoes are quite comfy, specially given the price.

You can check out the Fashionista site at female network and check their reaction.

Thank you! =)

I bought a pair of the patent kitten heeled pumps but they're a little too small for me. :) sayang i believe it's a really comfortable pair if only it's not pinching me. :p

I love the patent kitten-heeled pumps and the polkadot d'orsays and the...

everything actually.

luckily for me, their biggest size is 39, and I'm a 40-41.

safe.
