I bought those in black for $20 on sale, in size 12

Yes. It looks cute and stylish. When I visited Canada, I was more interested in this one:



But there was none for my foot size. Should I order online?
I think I am too much obsessed with shoes nowadays.

If that's what you want, go for it.

I want these so bad. Perfect for a fab unicorn. Just too bad they're around $300.00 USD. Time to start saving!

Do they come in purple? And just how does one get their cutie mark?

Whoa!

There is no way I would be able to stand up straight in those. I can't point my feet all the way straight with my shin... About 3" of rise is all that I can handle!

xD Just gotta wait to find your talent I guess.

I certainly understand that they might not be for everyone. I'm flat-footed though, and compensated early-on by walking on the front of my feet. Maybe not to such an extreme.. Still, I'm rather comfortable walking that way. Probably not good for my hamstrings or calves though.. >_>

  I suspect wearing something like this would give observers the wrong impression.  That is, unless you really want to tell the whole world about your horse role-playing fetish.   It is a fetish-themed retailer after all.  Amusing, certainly, but definitely not my thing.  Plus this so-called "ballet" style looks like it would be very easy to trip and face-plant in.

Just got these today for $30, I'll post a pic of me wearing them later.

They look very wide, but may help warm your feet.

They are rather warm, but also a little bit wide in the calf. Meh, it's assumed that women with large feet have large calfs I guess.
Or thicker pants.
Anyways, they're very comfortable to wear at all times, it was just a little weird to walk in them after wearing heels all day!

I went for it, but payless.com does not offer international delivery. Sigh...

My jacket does not match well with the boots. I ordered the following coat. Hopefully I will look better.

I purchased and wore the same jacket today.

I'm not sure of it's availability to Koreans, but eBay has plenty of sellers who will ship internationally. Many American sellers may not have it set to do so, but if  you send a message and ask they often will sell. I've been an eBay seller for years and shipped dozens of items all over the world with never any problem. Alas, I've never sold boots, though.

Barbie, you are looking great as ever

My partner was addicted to dholic for a while and I thought I recognised the style of clothing. You are lucky to have such a range of online retailers.

I got these boots a couple of weeks ago. They are very comfortable and very warm. And it's not easy to find boots in this size so I'm very happy

Thanks, Lyric,

Next time, I will try e-bay.

Anyway I ordered the following high heel bootie from a Korean online store where they purchased in lieu of me:



http://www.amazon.com/Venya-Delicious-Studded-Buckle-Bootie/dp/B00F9JUYLM/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1387099603&sr=8-1&keywords=venya+delicious+buckle+high+heel+ankle+bootie

The price is just US$22, but amazon.com suddenly stopped international delivery to Korea, and I paid ca. US$65 to the Korean store, including international delivery fee. Still, it is too expensive, as international delivery costs about $20-25. I will try ebay.com.

Several weeks ago, Korean media reported that prices of consumer products are far more expensive in S. Korea than the US or European countries, and many Korean consumers now directly purchase products from the U.S. For example, a new TV from Samsung is about US$4000 in Korea, but less than US$2000 including international delivery cost if I purchase from Amazon or other online stores in the U.S.

Growing number of Korean consumers now shop directly from the online stores in the U.S., and that is one reason why suddenly amazon.com stopped delivery to Korea (probably they pressed the National Tax Administration).

Yes. Looks cute.
Where is the background? It looks like a kind of temple.
And you have the very nice hand bag.

Some online shoe stores here provided "Big Size", but usually the max. size is still about US women's 11. Fortunately mine is US women's 10.

In winter, I still can enjoy some fashion items. I can not wait for the 4.75 inch heel bootie from amazon.com. It will take > 2 weeks.

Joan,

By the way, what is dholic? Can I have the address of a related web site?

Following the suggestion of Lyric, I ordered the following item from ebay.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/200965434854



There are far more diverse items in ebay, but the problem is that it is very addictive....
And, converting currency from GBP to US$ and then to KRW
And, converting UK 8 to US women's 10.5 to 265 mm

Anyway, I love Stiletto!

Yes it's a temple in Japan. The bag I borrowed

There is an online store in Japan called Nissen that does shoes up to 27cm (my size, luckily) and they ship internationally. They have nice clothes too

I tried to find the dholic site and it seems like it might be a Japanese portal site for Korean fashions. It's certainly very popular here.

You can fine it here: http://m.dholic.co.jp

I love those stiletto boots, but I think I'd probably break my ankle in them

Joan,

Thanks for the link. I saw that most models there are Korean ladies. Those products are also available here in Korean stores, where most products are actually made in China, but some are Korean. I prefer products from stores in N. America, because of my height. Usually standard size 4 perfectly fits to my height and girth. The jacket I purchased a few days ago in the above photo looks short compared with the model.

Yes. My friends cautioned that too. In winter, wearing high heels are dangerous, but I will risk it any way for vanity.

It doesn't surprise me you found those cool boots on eBay, Barbie. I hope you like them. Since that seller is in England it may take quite awhile to receive them.

If you have any questions or problems with eBay, feel free to ask me. I'd have to say I qualify as something of an eBay expert. I can give a few quick buying tips now: If a seller's feedback rating is less than 97%, pass on them. It's good to click the seller's feedback number and see how long they have been selling. If it's less than 6 months, pass. Twelve months or more is best. Read some of the most recent feedbacks to check for recent issues.

I don't know UK womens sizes. I hope UK 3-8 converts to your size OK.

Oh, and for anyone who doesn't know this: To find out the best prices and item is selling for, click "Competed listings" on the left side of the eBay search page, then at the top sort by "Price+shipping lowest first". Don't buy for or bid more than the lower range of previous sales.
