Who had your "Hey Day" in the early 90's (like me). It just purchased this little sale bargain:

www.schuh.co.uk/womens-black-schuh-bassline/1427017020/.

They are on their way. They look splendidly kick-ass and entirely suitable for one who does not do stilettos.

They are fucking gorgeous. I'm having them. Do you think they come up big or small?

HermioneWeasley · 24/01/2014 21:20

Awesome choice Cunty. Be sure to listen to Ned's while stomping in them.

HarrietSchulenberg · 24/01/2014 21:44

Size 7s just ordered. Woo hoo, thank you. You should get commission.

CuntyBunty · 24/01/2014 22:15

I'll let you know regarding size, WhatFuckery. Ace nn, BTW. I have ordered a size six and I have a bunion. Can't believe the price. I'll be moshing to The Pixes in them in no time.

Size 7s arrived this evening. My feet are a 6.5 but (like Cunty) I have a bunion. Well, I have 2. So I always order a 7.

They're bang on size. They're narrower than I thought they would be and not as rounded at the toe as DMs, but they are chunky, lovely, VERY comfortable and well worth £34. Not sure they would have been worth the full £72 price though.

Ohwhatfuckeryisthis · 28/01/2014 22:38

Mine came today. Perfect size four (which is tops as thought id gone up a size through fatness) bit wedgier than I would have liked, but will give them the school day test tomorrow. Cheers op.

Ohwhatfuckeryisthis · 28/01/2014 22:39

Oh and cheers cunty love yours too. Am I right in thinking you are in the north?

I was born and raised in Liverpool, but married a Southerner and now live in Bristol, "Ohwhat*. Used to go to uni in Bradford as well.

Absolutely gutted; my size sixes came and were too small (they come up a bit small) and now the size sevens have sold out Sad. The too small ones were lovely though. I will find a way

Fucking bunions, eh, Harriet. I could just take the bloody bread knife to mine or maybe hammer the fucker back in.

I have a pair of knee-high docs! (zipped not laced - I'm not mad)

I luffs them.

I will always be 16

HarrietSchulenberg · 28/01/2014 22:49

Sorry Cunty, I think I had the last 7 Blush on Sunday.

If they're only slightly too small you could try getting them wet then stuffing them with newspaper. Really stuffing them, so they stretch.

HarrietSchulenberg · 28/01/2014 22:53

I tried one of these on my first bunion. It didn't work but it gave the postman a shock when I opened the door to him early one Saturday morning "sans socks". He thought I'd got a broken foot and apologised for ringing the bell!

ouryve · 28/01/2014 22:54

I do like them! They appear to be too narrow for my duck feet, though :(

CuntyBunty · 28/01/2014 22:56

Enjoy them Harriet; the boots, not the bunion, I mean.

Ohwhatfuckeryisthis · 29/01/2014 08:02

Got mine on today. Forgot about the high instep thing and a half size would be good,but they will stretch dammit. Nice cleaty sole for tomorrow's forecast ice. Boooooo

Deathwatchbeetle · 29/01/2014 11:13

Wrap 'em up, I'll take 'em! Love them.

WireCat · 29/01/2014 11:14

I love them!

CuntyBunty · 29/01/2014 14:01

I had to reserve a pair in Liverpool of all places. I'll get me mum to go down on her pensioners bus pass to get me them. Grin
