Then a person could just click on the size review and get the whole scoop for each particular shoe or click and go straight to your blog to read about all of them.<br />My friend Toni G. is a Hollywood makeup artist and she is in the Actors Union or whatever they call it, and they always send her all the films for free to preview and vote on as an academy member, for the Oscars. So IC should do the same thing for you here. At least give you a discount. (I had friends at Betsey Johnson/ Betsey Johnson boutiques RIP :( //// and my friends got a 50% discount at the store, and I worked at Macy's and got a 20% and so maybe they could give you whatever discount they give the other store employees as they should totally employ you as a reviewer.) I am going to write them again and ask that they do that, because it sure would help me out. They have just about driven me crazy with this and I'm crazy enough already without having to be made more crazy over not getting the right size shoes. <br /><br />You are a good promoter of the brand and you do a good job taking nice photos that are arranged nicely with pretty fabrics and cute toys and dolls and you have been exactly right about your comments on all the shoes, so they really should hire you to do preview reviews to help shoppers out. or at least give you a discount on the shoes.queenbeetv88https://www.blogger.com/profile/17162930578546480313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8329357512064084091.post-27979565574996805722016-03-20T21:27:14.019+00:002016-03-20T21:27:14.019+00:00She is rather sweet xShe is rather sweet xPink Haired Princesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01516054022997327474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8329357512064084091.post-43729651736919322122016-03-20T21:26:57.551+00:002016-03-20T21:26:57.551+00:00Such a pity.

I doubt I could've truly 'sized down' because they length feels normal for me, it's just the big, shallow heel. I'm in the wheelchair whenever I go out anyway, so slipping off my heel won't be a problem, but it will for others. <br /><br />Like I said above, I'd love to do that and that's why I began The Shoe Girl Diaries blog, so I could help out with sizing. Of course it only works on shoes I've tried myself and I can't afford to try them all! I'm so appreciative when people are thankful for the info anyway xPink Haired Princesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01516054022997327474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8329357512064084091.post-77429508773338472022016-03-20T21:18:39.883+00:002016-03-20T21:18:39.883+00:00That could potentially look quite nice with black ...That could potentially look quite nice with black straps actually. Ha, yes, well that would be my dream job, try them all beforehand and send back the ones I didn't want to keep and pay for the ones I did. I'd love a system where I could take my photos for reviewing beforehand so I could be ready to publish the blog posts on the day (I know they wouldn't want it beforehand), at least that way everyone would see it on the day and have it to refer to, rather than panic buying wrong sizes. I've also changed the minds of loads of people who DIDN'T like something until they saw MY photos of it and by then it's sometimes too late for them to get it.Pink Haired Princesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01516054022997327474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8329357512064084091.post-33022082471401350672016-03-20T06:10:06.326+00:002016-03-20T06:10:06.326+00:00ebay has Flowers Cant Talk size 38 US7 (UK 5) and ...ebay has Flowers Cant Talk size 38 US7 (UK 5) and 36 US 5 (UK 3.5) ebay item number<br />272159561385<br />queenbeetv88https://www.blogger.com/profile/17162930578546480313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8329357512064084091.post-39622370278137257082016-03-18T22:29:41.076+00:002016-03-18T22:29:41.076+00:00I love the Alice heel, she's so cute and they ...I love the Alice heel, she's so cute and they really did her justice.

I am thinki...I am writing this after my post below. I am thinking of taking my Flowers Can't Talk "rowboats" to a high end shoe repair place and having them attach black straps at two points on each side In front of ankle and just behind ankle (so sort of like a triangle that goes into one strap) and have these shoes made into Mary Janes. Now reading this again I don't feel as bad at the fit of the shoe, because it seems the sizing is just part of the problem, the shoe is just all around shallow as you say with a large heel. (You are spot on again) (I couldn't even finish reading your words before when you first wrote this because I just knew my shoes were going to be too big (I hadn't yet received them, being in SF) and so it was too upsetting for me to even finish reading) But I am going to see if I can get these made into Mary Janes with black fabric straps. That and the padding should be the ticket. <br /><br />At any rate, why can't IC test these things when they are prototypes and before they go into production. They need to hire you as consultant. You'd have set them straight on this.queenbeetv88https://www.blogger.com/profile/17162930578546480313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8329357512064084091.post-43665228820347313302016-03-18T13:56:42.342+00:002016-03-18T13:56:42.342+00:00You are so right on about the Flowers Can't Ta...You are so right on about the Flowers Can't Talk! That is it exactly! I made the severe and fatal mistake of sizing up on these and also you hit the nail on the head, "your heel doesn't feel very contained" Exactly!!!! So I am sitting here at 6:45 am obsessing about this and sitting with my big left foot in the shoe and I have stuck a heel pad on top of a heel pad and then another heel pad along the outside inside part of the shoe on top of the seam because it was rubbing on my foot. I am so obsessed about this that I will go back to the store as soon as it opens (probably not, will probably just try to get some sleep) (having had probs sleeping due to fibro flare ups in the past week from the stress of the shoes and other stress). At any rate, I can't bear to part with the shoes. And I wish I would have read more carefully the first time about the heels, because that is exactly what I have discovered when I started to try to problem solve and pad these things. Now I am going to look like Minnie Mouse because these shoes stick out far from where the tops of my feet come out of them just like Minnie's big fat "bricks" of shoes. But I don't care, I am damned if I am not going to have some Flowers Can't Talk shoes. At this point you may have realized I am more of an Alice maniac than an IC maniac. I love IC, but given the price I can take them or leave them except for a few styles and (if I was rich I'd buy them all). But like everything Alice, I must must must must have it. <br /><br />IC should really hire you to preview their shoes and write on them. Your analysis of the shoes and how they fit is spot on. I think I can calm down enough now to get some rest, since all the padding is seeming to do the trick (those heel pads work well to stick on around the whole perimeter). I wish the store was open right now, so I could just get some. Walmart is open right now, but they wrongfully accused me of shoplifting and locked me in a room and would never apologize or anything, so I refuse to shop there. Too bad, because they are convenient. I am such an avid shopper, that if I won't shop somewhere, you know they've really wronged me, because I am pissed at IC for this whole emotional fiasco they have caused me and lots of people, but I probably will buy from them again, once I have some more money and have paid this huge splurge off. Anyway, thanks for your spot on shoe fit analysis. queenbeetv88https://www.blogger.com/profile/17162930578546480313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8329357512064084091.post-84518002267686394582016-03-14T15:18:04.116+00:002016-03-14T15:18:04.116+00:00They are a bit of an odd fit, there's just not...They are a bit of an odd fit, there's just nothing to keep your heel in.
