What is your favourite heavy shoe brand?

What do you think?

Permalink Reply by Magda on August 22, 2007 at 9:30pm: Absolutely Fays. They look nice and they're good for a foot that's not too wide (it's awful to have one, there are no other brands that fit me, and it's the same when it comes to buying pumps, as only Boyne Walks fit me...).
But what I find best in them is the sound. The tips are really loud and the heels are hard, and it's easier for me to make clicks in Fays than in any other shoes.
By the way - I never owed a pair of those, but I really wish I did.; ▶ Reply to This

now i've got my hullachans back! :):):) love them <3<3<3; ▶ Reply to This

The sound is fine, the heels are where they are supposed to be and they don't give me blisters ever. Except when I decided in my usual madness to break them in at one of Shane's summer camps. Not good at all, but would the man listen to me, begging him to let me take them off? Sniff. No, course not. I believe he said "Yaaay, I made a dancer bleed, today's goal is achieved!" or something...
I've known people to keep their old Fays even when there are holes in them and the soles are falling off.
Fays made me enjoy Heavy dances. Before them I just used my shoes to batter my head in frustration.
I had Halmors...Antonio Pacellis...and something else but I cannot remember now.
Anyhow, I love Fays. I got the grey sole ones. I've heard from other people that the black ones wear through quickly though.; ▶ Reply to This

Before my Rutherford's I've had Fay's but they didn't fit properly,they were too narrow.; ▶ Reply to This

The sound is good, they are easy to break in...toe stands are quite comfortable in them and clicks are way easier to get ;). Liked the corrs too, but I´ll stick to fays for my next pair.; ▶ Reply to This

I broke them in in 5 days (still got ugly toenails from it....) and I loev them to pieces! I love their sound, they're equiped with the Pacelli concorde tips and heels and I always was loud in hard shoes, with them I can sound like gunfire.; ▶ Reply to This

I will be in agony after running through my dances, due to metatarsal pain. But they look great on my feet, and I love the glove feel of it. Any ideas?; ▶ Reply to This
