Re: [h-cost] checking on a merchant
Um, all you gave was the main page for the site. What is the shoe style's name so it can be found? -RC Sorry about that -- I'm leaning toward the Connie. The heel style on the Cheri is a closer match, but I'd have to get it redyed leather-brown since it doesn't come in natural. (And it's a left/right shoe; straight last is more appropriate for this outfit.) Leah ___ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
Re: [h-cost] checking on a merchant
I have shoe fitting issues, and called them before ordering. I described my issues, and they suggested that for me, a half-size up would be the best. I spent about 3 weeks wearing them half-days and then full days before their first event, but they were comfortable right away. The only reason I spent so long getting used to them is that they were colonial, and I usually don't wear heels. So it was more getting my feet used to the concept than breaking in a shoe. They are nice to work with, too. == Marjorie Wilser =:=:=:Three Toad Press:=:=:= http://3toad.blogspot.com/ Learn to laugh at yourself and you will never lack for amusement. --MW On Feb 2, 2013, at 2:44 PM, llwa...@juno.com wrote: I'm getting ready for the Costume Con historical masquerade, and it looks like a shoe style from Fugawee (http://www.fugawee.com/ index.htm) will be very close to what I need.

Re: [h-cost] checking on a merchant
I have a couple of styles from Fugawee (Martha and Debbie) and they have all been pretty comfortable. I had a pair of their straight last shoes (Connie) and even though I ordered what I thought would be big enough, I probably should have gone another half size bigger. The other two fit well right out of the box and have held up well.

Re: [h-cost] checking on a merchant
I have a pair of the debbie style and I LOVE them. They are one of my most favorite pairs of shoes to wear. The first time I wore them was to a dance event and my feet didn't hurt one bit even though I hadn't had a chance to break them in first. Of course, everyone's feet are shaped different so your mileage may vary. If I recall correctly, I think I had to go up a half size from my normal size.

I have the Victoria boots and I love them, they were comfortable from the first wearing.

Katy said: I have the Victoria boots and I love them, they were comfortable from the first wearing. I have two pairs of those too. And, again, comfortable right out of the box! With those, I think I went with the true size and didn't have to go up a half size. Teena ___ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
