Interesting. In the UK, although there is no specific law relating to footwear worn when using a 'motor vehicle', it would be quite possible for someone to be challenged and possibly booked if it was alleged that the particular footwear (or lack of it) precluded 'proper control' of the vehicle, e.g. heavy boots, wellies, flip flops, mules, platforms, very high heels etc. A fortiori if the vehicle was a motor bike, given the need for foot control and that feet are on show. I am somewhat surprised that helmets are not required on a motor bike/scooter; mandatory here since 1973, unless (like a Sikh) one can claim a religious exemption. I'm not one to criticise you or preach but I would observe that an accident is just as likely to happen within 'a couple of miles' than on a longer journey - and a short journey is not an excuse for lack of protection acceptable to the law either.

I thought I posted it, but maybe I didn't. I wore them in June. Haven't worn them since, but hey, it's summer, and I don't like wearing enclosed shoe if I don't have to.

I haven’t been on here in a while, I still have been purchasing a lot of new heels. I just got these new heels and I’m loving them! When I went out in them women were begging me to sell these heels right off my feet! They are so cute and comfortable for 6in heels. Took these pics this morning cause I’m about to go out in them again but can’t decide on which dress.

The reason why I don't enjoy riding a "traditional" motorbike in heels, though it's quite possible (see below), is because one has to shift gears with one's left foot, and use the rear brake with one's right foot. On older British bikes this may be reversed. Imagine that. To me, this is very awkward to do in heels. On a scooter, there is nothing to do with your feet except look awesome. I ride around our small town in shorts and mules all the time. This is probably foolish, but I'm 56 years old, and allowed to be foolish, and even the law allows me to be foolish. Yes, I can get a ticket for not wearing a seat belt in a car, but there is no helmet law. And certainly no high heel law. If I have to ride any further than a couple of miles, I wear the proper protective equipment, even if the footwear happens to have an elevated heel. I got almost zero comments in the Twin Cities. I mean, it's not like Chicago or New York, but it's kind of close to that in being a Big City. People do not say hello when you walk by, they look down. You sometimes have to wait more than 30 seconds at a traffic light. Stuff like that. The one person who did comment on my shoes was a fellow patron at our motel. A young-ish woman of South Asian descent with two small children. I came across her on two different days, and she commented on my shoes at length both times, noting that I had on different shoes than I did before. Other than that, nothing of any note happened, either at the music store or the concert. Ha ha ha.

I think the first events might be synchronized swimming followed by fencing in stilettos.

Oh yeah! How about the 12 mile hike in 5 inch high heels 👠? That’s more along my line. Interesting time trials?

I can be walking along a cliff path over looking the ocean. Whales and dolphin can be jumping just off shore and many of the people walking will be staring at their phone...Maybe looking up dolphins jumping. I am a rare breed and still have a flip phone. But I have 5 computers I can use to look stuff up if I need to.

It isn’t just teenagers. When I was walking around Leeds yesterday I was struck by how many people are either staring at their phones or else staring rigidly ahead, seeing nothing A little of both - they were urban in style, not the equestrienne style you might expect in the country, and a kind of electric blue. But sturdy enough for the uneven ground
