I just picked up some shoes (on sale) on Tuesday and saw this today. I was :banghead:. Too late for me, but I figured I'd pass it along, anyhow.

Just FYI.

Free delivery over $50, no tax (unless your state has stupid laws like CA) and 14% off...??? I'd say you need the brown boots. :D

I picked these up on Tuesday. Couldn't decide on color, so I got both. :leaving:

One tip: Aldo shoes usually run a little small. I'm normally a 7.5, but have to bump up to 8 with most Aldo shoes.

how do you walk in those?:confused5:

Its not hard. :funny:

The actual heel height, as you stand in the shoe, isn't really as tall as it looks, since they are platform heels. They're almond toe, as well. I cannot do a pointy toe in heels like that. And I'm used to wearing heels to work.

I do love my heels. Especially because I'm about 5'3". On a good day. :leaving:

But I'm not cleaning house in them or anything. ;)

I love heels I'm just scared to walk in them, every time I try them on the store and try to walk for a bit, I think meh, maybe I'm a bit too clumsy for heels :lol:
I hate pointy toe shoes

Funky selection of shoes. :seasix:
My only gripe with their boots is they are limited on widths. My wife has a tall arch and normally a little extra width is helpful for the room. :dance:

Buy a pair and walk around in them in the house for practice. If you fall on your butt, no one will see. :D Ask me how I know. :leaving:

Pointy toe is way uncomfortable. :ack: Round toe looks too...uhhhhh, round...for my taste. So, almond toe is usually what I try and find. I throw a gel insert into the area where the ball of your foot would be, specifically made/shaped for heels...good to go.

If she wears any type of orthopedic sole for high arch, I would think that a higher instep would be more comfortable, as opposed to width...???

Since Aldo shoes run a little small, I could see how she wouldn't be able to find a good fit, though. :(

They always look so cute in the pictures, but by the time the size 13s arrive (you know what they say about big feet), they all look like combat boots.

Besides, I've got bad ankles, so no platforms and heels for me....:dance:

Bad ankles, huh? Well, you can always accessorize in other way to show off your flare. Maybe a fabulous feather boa?

On behalf of your wife ---> :slap:

Why not? :D

Can't have them getting dirty. :D They would help me with dusting the higher shelves, though. :island14:

You may be onto something.

I almost bought them before the holidays. Glad I waited. Even though I missed the V-Day discount, I still got them on sale, which was nice.

Normally, some of the width is absorbed by her arch pulling the sides in, so to speak.
They are tough to find a good fit for her though.

You'll be totally fine in those. :yesnod:

They're just under $55.00 on sale. With the 14% off, they're about $47.00. Not too bad. :cheers:

Check out Chinese Laundry, too. They have some cute stuff, plus some pretty good deals today. Some of their shoes are crazy looking, but they have a lot that are really cute.
