Leviticus Boots are amazing and great to go out in.

Frankly, I think they are ugly, particularly if worn by a girl of relatively modest build. Almost orthopaedic in style. I really can't see the appeal.

HA! I got a private message on social media after church today saying, "I didn't see you after church to beg for your approval on my improved shoe choice." Accompanying this was a photo of her feet in red sandals with wedge heels. Pretty cute overall! I feel a little bit funny about sharing it here, so I'll just share what I wore. I was kind of ambitious this week, with Michael Kors almost vintage sandals (circa 2012) with 5 1/2" heels, 1" platform.

The stories I seem to remember predate the skorts. And they involved Steve. How is Steve these days? Haven't heard from him in an age! Here is what I wore to church today. Ankle breakers, is what my friend called them.

Yes Leviticus is hard going. The boots seem much more inviting

I have tried to read Leviticus several times, and I just can't get through it. Somehow or other I always gloss through all that stuff and wind up at Joshua.

I didn’t dare take my eyes off the road!!!

... before you closed your eyes and prayed?

I have no bad stories to tell about my wearing heels with my skorts. I get compliments from mostly women when i wear heels with short skorts. BTW, on the 4th of July i wore a flag decorated skort , white women's top and my double banded red sandals. Got compliments. Today for church, I wore white dress pants, a red white and blue patriotic polo shirt with my Aerosoles red patent pumps with 3-1/2 " stacked heels. After church I wore my red double banded sandals with 3-1/2" stacked heels to show off my red pedi. got a couple compliments both in the supermarket and Walmart out shopping this morning. And of course I carried a red cross body bag, too! Happy Heeling, bluejay

Does anyone here own and wear amazing Leviticus Fashion Boots, how does the size fit with you, and what is your favorite thing about these boots to you? I look forward to your responses!

I had an old pair of (quite nice) Scarpa mountaineering boots do that - the Vibram sole came loose around the toe area. It was walkable, though irritating, flap-flap-flapping like that, and happily it was also easily fixable with contact cement once I got back to the boat

In neither case of forced shoe removal was it a broken heel. I suppose my hypothetical sign should have said, "MY SHOE BROKE." I've only had two heels actually break in 13 years, and neither of them were stilettos. I've had stilettos come loose before, but that's easily fixed. Usually what happens is that the shank breaks, allowing the heel to go all wonky. But these you can sort of deal with without removing your shoes. You might look a little funny, but you can deal with it. The reason I chose to remove my shoes in the two cases mentioned above is because if I didn't, it would have ruined the shoes. In one case, I lost a top lift (heel tip) on one of my sandals, and whatever wooden composite material the heels are made from does not resist abrasion very well. Once replaced (several times by now), those same sandals have lasted 268 miles and counting. I would have hated to lose that pair over a matter of pride. The other time I had to hoof it home shoeless was when the entire sole peeled off my pump, seemingly without warning. The only thing holding it on was the bit that's on the front part of the high heel. No amount of extreme high stepping would make this shoe wearable. Ripping the sole the rest of the way off seemed like a foolish option when the repair was so easy once I got home. The other sole had just started to come loose in the same way. I chose contact cement for the repair, and they seem to be doing just fine.

What exactly about that warning message was nasty or smug? I have no idea who you are, nobody here knows anything about you, so how on earth could you take it so personally? It's an incredibly simple process. If you post fetish content, it will be removed. I don't care who you are, male, female, royalty, nobody cares, the rules apply to everybody. Plenty of male members have been booted out for the exact same thing. Did you really need to start being nasty to me, about your own rule breaking, and simply being asked to read the rules? I ask people to re-read them simply because eI know full well, 99.9% of people don't read them, or they think they can just do whatever they like. But these comments your making publicly, about the rules you ignored, and simply being asked to go read them, this is not a good way to start anything new, no matter who you are. This has nothing to do with your sex either. I don't have a lot of time to do the paperwork here, so when I do, it's done fairly and applies to all. There has to be a "no-nonsense" approach. Most accept that they "forgot" or got caught not even reading the rules they agreed to, and just move on, but to publicly fight back and start being seriously rude about it? Seriously...? You don't even have the decency to ask via DM? You just go straight into "attack them publicly" mode? WOW... So now I've had to spend what little time I have, dealing with this, instead of approving new members who are awaiting to join.

I saw this article on the CNN website about a high heels race in Spain as part of the local Pride festival. Apparently it has been going for quite a long time. Minimum heel height is four inches or 10cm - so they are racing in genuinely high heels. https://edition.cnn.com/2025/07/05/travel/madrid-pride-high-heel-race

Yes! I think I hit even higher speeds but I didn’t dare look at my speedometer - it was a fast and curvy descent on a narrow mountain road without guardrails. High risk, high consequence. 57mph was the last reading I saw.

YIPES!!

Oh I’ve descended quickly in the past - my record being 57mph down a steep pass in the Vosges. And that on a loaded touring bike. But I’m not a fan of such descents

First I have had my heel (either foot bed) break twice. Once I just had to take them off and go barefoot. Shyheels where's you need for speed? I had several trilling down hill rides, several where you had to get into the fast lane to exit, and you have a car on your tail, at about 45 mph. Forgot: on sew up bike tires, my 15 speed touring bike.

That would not be much fun at all. One of the reasons I am hesitant about going out in stilettos is the fear of just such a thing happening. The heels look so precarious - so easy to imagine breakage and the aforementioned barefoot walk home. That's one of the drawbacks to being a creative - a vivid imagination. It's why I am not a great downhiller on my bicycle. I can envision all too easily the consequences of missing my line or a loose piece of gravel

I've had it happen to me twice where I basically didn't have any choice but to walk home barefoot. It's funny you should mention being more mature and not caring what others think, but carrying a pair of heels while walking barefoot adds a whole new layer of self-consciousness for some reason. I felt like I wanted to hang a big flashing sign around my neck that said, "MY HEEL BROKE."

I certainly like stiletto boots - I noticed your style preferences in another if your posts. Like you, I dislike platforms, for the same reason as you, and I’m not fond of pointy toes either. i do like stiletto ankle boots although my preference with ankle boots is chunky heels. I think the long stiletto heels is better balanced visually with a long shaft. i don’t go for the super high heels. For me the look is too “crunched”. For me, the perfect height, aesthetically, is 12cm or just under five inches. I have a pair of 12 stiletto knee boots and love them, although I find them difficult to walk in (I’ve not practiced nearly enough - my calf muscles just seem to cramp up in 12cm heels. I have 10cm (four inch) stilettos knee boots which I also love, and can walk easily in and enjoy. i like heels for the aesthetics and 10-12cm is my perfect range for stilettos, although I have several pair if chunky heeled ankle, knee and OTK boots which I wear a great deal!

In all honesty, even though high stiletto heeled boots were made for women, I believe the men are owning it!!! I got my 1st pairs of REAL stiletto boots thanks to HHPlace back in the early 2000s. With a fresh reliable DSL hookup to the interwebs, a credit card in hand, and AltaVista on my screen, HHPlace was the first link listed in my search which led me to Leatherworks where I purchased my 5.25 inch babies. Then there was La Piazza, but I digress 😊 OK, so my "high stiletto heeled boots hero" of all time is this guy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Re5sHX0Trfg (I thought it was a woman for the loooongest time, but I was wrong) Now when I search for videos on extremely high heeled single-sole stiletto boots, I see men rocking and having fun with these heels more naturally than the women. As a matter of fact, it appears that most (not all, including myself) of the women are forced to wear these by their employer/lover/abductor when you compare facial expressions and body language. It is also clearly evident here @ HHPlace given the male/female membership ratio. Hey, I thought us women had a higher tolerance for pain than men 🙃. So CHEERS to the boys!!!... My bet would be on them if there were ever an open-gender marathon in high stiletto heels competition. Sorry my fellow ladies 😁 'Envious regards, Prima

Teenage girls are the worst, especially to one another! Just the nature of their age and competitiveness. My worst experience was going up an escalator at a mall with teenage girls behind me, they were all giggling. "Never let em see you sweat". Like MLP says, engaging young girls usually disarms them pretty quickly, making it obvious you are not intimidated. For me, one geniune compliment usually cancels ten unpleasant encounters. I have reached the age where I don't care much about what others think, I like the way I look in boots, even if I am older. That being said, I do enjoy and appreciate compliments, it is nice to have my choices in boots validated. The only other lousy situation I had was when the heel gave out on my Zodiac boots! I had to walk back to the hotel dragging one foot to keep the heel/sole from flopping around!

Please don't give it a second thought, we all have "our own slant" on styles we prefer for sure! I, like yourself, prefer regular boots with no platforms, but that is just me. I really like many different styles, but am extremely particular at the same time! We all "love what we love"! Great way to relax for sure, great boots, some wine and a smoke.. All the best Don

Hi pebblesf. I envy folks as yourself that can still enjoy aging better rather than aging older 😪. Thank you for such a pleasant greeting. My sincerest apologies if my view on ankle boots came off as a bit harsh. Sometimes my self-imposed OCD'ish fever for my unique love of stiletto boots gets the better of me and sets my tone. So please allow me to explain my rare form of retardation in detail 😜 I am petite with really skinny legs, short shins, and long slender coconut tree climbing feet due to my Pacific Islander genetics. And so as a young girly-girl in the '80s loooooong before the joy of customized online purchases came about, I was limited to choosing whatever was on the shelves at the local boutiques and malls. Unfortunately, it was standard sizing for boots everywhere, even in Chinatown. Long feet = big feet = wider diameters @ ankles and calves which made me look like I was receiving poorly fitted hand-me-downs from a portly aunt 😭. My young ungrateful mind was screaming, "Why oh why was I born with mutant feet and legs?" I quickly developed a frustrating habit of avoiding skirts which was weird for a girly-girl, and found myself preferring to wear pants tucked into boots since there was a whole lot of room for tucking + the thrill I get when hearing that unmistakable sound from the long slowly zippery ziiiiiiiiiip when securing the shafts. Overtime, I fell in love with that particular style thanks to Penelope Pitstop and Chrissy Snow. Mmmmmm.... Just seeing these again puts me into a state of dopamine 🥰. Sooooooo whenever I see a pair of beautiful stiletto ankle boots, I immediately ask myself, "Where's the rest of the boots? Where did the zippered shafts go?" Then came the '90s with everything flats 😡. But we'll save that story for another thread. In all honesty, I often wonder why I make things so difficult for myself with all these hang ups that prevent me from having simple pleasures? But the crazy truth is, I've grown to love what I love, and it kinda makes me feel special. Even if it's specially retarded ( <-- Yup, I still use this classic term if I am only referring to myself) 😊 I do enjoy watching others having a good time with expressing themselves through wardrobe regardless of similar preferences or not. It's the art of the delivery/presentation and passion that matters most 👍 Thanks for taking me on a thrilling adventure back in time pebblesf. I'm gonna relish this moment with a smoke and a glass of wine now ✌️ 'Sweetest regards, Prima
