"Real women wear Classic Pumps....

Recently, I've been surprised to hear that some of you gals in your 50's say you can't or won't wear high heels any more. As we mature we need all the help we can get to make ourselves look pretty, and a pair of Classic Pumps is the perfect shoe to accent our legs and make a proud statement when we walk into any room.

Now, I know some of us do have foot problems and our podiatrists recommend we wear flats and "sensible" footwear, but a special occasion or a night out on the town deserves an elegant pair of shoes. Classic Pumps are made of the finest leather, soft and supple so you can slip the shoe on and wiggle your toes inside to make a comfortable fit, yet the leather is strong and sturdy to support your foot while you walk or stand.

Someone told me that as the heel-height increases you should opt for a half size bigger, so if you normally wear a size 6 try a 6 1/2 Classic Pump. Treat your shoes lovingly too and don't throw the box and toe papers away. When I'm done wearing my pumps I put them back inside the box with the toe inserts back inside and the shoes wrapped in tissue paper just like they were when I first opened the box.

So come on ladies, don't be afraid to wear high heels again just because you're now in your 50's! Put 'em on and strut your stuff. Make your husband drop you off at the door so you don't have to walk across the parking lot (that's what I do), and then go inside and find yourself a seat. Cross your legs and watch the looks you'll get from the men who appreciate a great pair of legs and a pretty pair of shoes."

Dana's Tips For Trying on High Heels

I did something different this time when I received my new shoes. I tried all of the different pair I received with stockings on and gently fit the shoe onto my foot by wiggling it around until it felt right. Then I relaxed my foot inside the shoe and sat in my chair with my foot on the floor while I did the next shoe.

I made sure my foot stayed relaxed and I massaged the leather all around my toes to adjust the leather for a perfect fit. What a difference. After both shoes were on, I still kept sitting, putting my weight into the shoe and getting the feel of it. I crossed and uncrossed my legs too, to see how each shoe looked either on the floor or across my knee. When the shoes felt good this way, I stood up and walked around the house. I had my tunes on so I tried a little dancing in them too. It was Fun.

I had asked my friend Steven for his advice on a very pretty dress I wanted to buy for a special occasion. He told me I would look gorgeous in it, so I bought it. Steven knows what looks good on me, and my new dress definitely was perfect for my figure. I knew my bone colored Lola’s would show my legs off so well as I waltzed through the Hotel Del Coronado in this swirling silk chiffon number. All eyes were on me as I sashayed around this grand hotel looking for interesting places to be photographed. I loved the looks and stares from the men, and smiled to myself as their wives looked me up and down and hurried their husbands along.

I was so tempted to tell these women that if they took a good look at themselves in the mirror before they ventured out in public, they’d know why their men aren’t interested in keeping their eyes on them! My goodness, there are so many women these days who lack any fashion sense! And have you noticed the shoes they’re wearing now?

Dress up gals! You can’t honestly think you’re going to have men drool over you if you dress like your grandmother, for heaven’s sake! Leave the sweat pants and clunky ugly shoes at the gym ­ if you know where to find one. But maybe these women don’t want and like the attention. I sure do!

Dana Specht received her first pair of Classic Pumps from her photographer friend Ed as a gift for her to wear during her professional sessions as a disciplinarian. They are the perfect high heels to accentuate her lovely legs and feet and compliment her wardrobe. Ed has purchased 3 pair of Classic Pumps for Dana’s size 6.5 feet - red kid Lulu, black kid Lola, and black kid Ronda.
