And now, it is time to reveal the week's truly interesting event--my "new" motorbike, which broke down after only having owned it for one week, is now back in service. Actually, that's not the news. I'll just let the pictures speak for themselves. I just wanted to see what it would look like. I don't hate it.

Gentlemen, if I have a problem with straps, it is usually the opposite problem--I run out of holes before the strap is tight. I suppose this, among other things, is why I favor mules.

They look interesting. Too bad we couldn’t have a better look at them.

I have a new pair in my closet waiting for an old pair to give up a strap so I can lengthen the straps that came with the heels. Or maybe I'll just pick up a pair of old shoes at a yardsale.

This pair of JS Dany sandals was the last time I wore heels away from home when I went shopping then to a movie. Apart from that wore wedge heels quite regularly at home or outside. HinH

Don’t like it when a company makes a shoe which does fit me but it comes with an ankle strap 1-1.5” shorter than normal. It’s relevant if one has to perforate some extra holes in the strap. Don’t see a lot but it’s annoying. HinH

Glad to hear the collective value of members’ heel-wearing experiences inspired you to take that first step outside. As I’ve said before, but it is worth repeating, the world is utterly neutral towards you but will look approvingly upon anyone who exudes confidence. Thanks for placing your trust in the community here. It validates the site. HinH

Gige, Looked this over and decided your “armchair fashionistas” are now fat and can’t master the look you now sport. They are not in the chain of command and the content of what they tell you is really not directly related to the job you’re all paid for. You could note they offered no comments before wearing more feline styles but I’d be inclined to record any interaction with them if you can manage it. It’s one sure way of shutting down would-be troublemakers. These phones have a life of their own as a phone in a pocket or purse can start recording at any moment…theoretically. HinH

Mlroseplant, Well-done on your whole-hearted JKrenzer endorsement! Practice over time makes just about anyone master a skill whether it’s walking in heels, learning electricity, or delving into amateur radio. Time spent in heels will also tone those calves. Keep it up! HinH

I have heard some wild things from women while getting a pedi. Eye opening.

Great story! Welcome to the club!

Thanks buddy! And I found them just when I needed them, messed up knee, waiting for surgery. Love wearing them over my jeans also. For sure buddy, will let you know. Don

Wow, leaving us with a teaser. Smart look, sharp and clean. The overall lines from the soles and heels upwards is perfectly perportioned.

I find myself very short on time this week, but I'll make a quick post about last Sunday's outfit, with a teaser/promise of more to come. Shoes are Via Spiga, and I got along with them a lot better than I did the last time I wore them, comfort-wise. Pants are Loft, and shirt and tie are no-name Vietnamese. They are not actually unbranded, but they have some silly, so-very-Asian name like "Caring Known" or something like that.

Those are wonderful boots! Love the styling and the heels! And proper leather too

I worked for a company that hired mostly women. I would take lunch in the company lunch room and they would tell raunchy jokes constantly. One day I decided to share a joke I had heard. Nothing but but dirty looks. I decided at that time it wasn't a safe place and started eating lunch elsewhere and avoided them. I would proceed with caution as they could turn on you and it would be two against one.

So happy for you Gige! Your wife sounds like a wonderful woman indeed, secure in your relationship, and wants you to be happy. Take good care of her buddy! Glad you are hear with us, glad I found HHP so many years ago as well...

Gotta meet up next time you layover in either Charlotte or Raleigh.

ok, will try through flickr, now that I changed the dumb file format OK, there we go. They are leather, love the tall shafts, pointed toes, classic styling. Wish the heels were a little higher, but I messed up my knee so these are very comfortable...

I went to the site. Excellent boots. Sent you a pm.

OK, will try another way... Haven't tried uploading here lately, maybe I will have some luck. Nope... will try through flickr

My wife and I are the same size, but alas I am and always have the high heel wearer in my house. My work place is good thermally so it's stiletto pumps for me.

My first heel I ever wore out in public was a shootie like this one. Acquired from my first wife's closet around 1979. I needed a pair of dress shoes for a wedding. Wore them until 1998 when they wore out. Good luck with your heeling.

My entry for April, 2024. Wearing orange in celebration of Koningsdag (The King's Birthday in The Netherlands).

I’m so pleased it all worked out so well for you - and also that you have such a sympathetic wife. A nice story with a happy ending
