Hi from the Greater Toronto area - CANADA! -

Hey all,
Browsed this SSdB often enough and finally got registered - the info and chats are great, so I'm now ready to be a part of this street savvy group who all are officially the Imelda Marcos' of the SS world! By that I merely mean having a particular fondness for shoes.
A relative newbie to shoe fetishes (or so I thought), but after purchasing my 30ish pair this week (trainers alone), I realized I've a shoe bug bite...some old, some new, all in kik @rse shape...conservative styles in nature as you will all see one day when I post in the 'collector' forum...Mostly have Adidas, Hugo Boss, Lacoste, Puma...again nothing too bright/loud, but unique in some ways nonetheless...my prized posessions are my Adidas white Berlin Gazelles and a pair of Shanghai Tang limited Pumas I picked up in Amsterdam back in 2003.
Talk soon!
Cheers!

Quik Q to all out there browsing the posts...I'm in the middle of getting BL5's, but not sure of the fit...usually an 11 in my shoes - my SS 2G's included, however the BL5's are denim, hence no stretch - should I be looking at 11.5's instead or stick with 11?
Merci!!!

Welcome, I got a pair of BL5s in a size 10, but they no longer fit and feel tight at the front. In my opinion you should try an get a bigger size but you could always try them on in store.

pretty sure they have these at Groovy, on Queen St West, just west of John st on the south side. Give them a call and see if they have your size.

Thanks and greetings all! I already know the Shoeshotta man - chatted with him not too long ago - the fake guide is like a bible before hitting sites/ebay! Just said hey to Zwer earlier, a local boy as well! Still debating about dream pickups - i.e. black Berlin gazelles, but I could only source them from Japan and @ $900 U.S. gulp! Waiting for the Olympic GBR SS 2 Country to drop...REAL nice if any of you saw the pics! Motowns too...
