    But I am sure the sizes must be wrong because they are tiny?!?

    Anyway its $39 + $13 for postage so about £35 all in...I like but am not sure...

    VERY classy Becky!

    It's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
    We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
    Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.

    Hello all

    Spud I have a pair of wedge boots quite similar height wise and they are comfy enough to walk around Glasgow in - wouldn't consider that in heels the same height!

    Spud - love the boots. I find wedges much easier to wear than proper heels, I prefer the stability of them....I'm a bit wobbly otherwise.

    Its coming from the US so just asked the seller a few questions and we'll see what they say - they have A LOT of vintage stuff so hopefully they should be fine but

    Those are laid flat measurements, surely?

    Becky, i think us sizes are 2 less than ours - so a 16 is a 12, 14 is a 10, 10 is a 6..

    and a 14.5 in waist is about 34 cms... unless them mean 14.5 inches measured flat?
