I used to have a pair. I wore them a lot in the 80s, not out and about, but because I used to do a hell of a lot of stretching as part of my running and found them useful for keeping the muscles warm and supple.

Still have my leg warmers. Waiting for a comeback!!!!lol

Not heels, but I did see something yesterday I’d not seen in decades - a young girl wearing leg warmers. A throwback to the 80s. in a long day travelling by train, through various cities, I saw very few heels most of them being at the end of the trip, in an arty, boho part of town where quite a few middle aged women wore chunky heeled boots.

Yup!

Sounds like you’re leading quite a full life!!!

Mlroseplant, Was that the son I met who had once lived in California? Nice to see someone else here has worn heels to a wedding. I’ve done it a number of times with pumps and boots but especially wedge sandals for the outdoor weddings. Perhaps your son stayed close by? Been busy with different projects and just returned from trip to Turkey, Morocco, and Spain all places I spent a lot of time in the 1980’s. HinH

Yes congratulations to your son!!!

Congratulations to your older son

My elder son got married on Thursday. It was a very small wedding. I would estimate the total number of guests at around 30, and about half of those were parents/grandparents. I was the only one in the whole bunch wearing heels except for my ex-wife, who has always been a big fan of heels. To be fair, I don't believe I've ever seen her wear a pair of "high" heels in her life, but she was often in mid-heels when we were married. Thursday she wore tan suede pointy-toed pumps with a three inch block heel. The only other exception was the cellist in the string quartet they hired to provide the music. The cellist had on black patent pumps with a three inch stiletto heel. We'll take what we can get. For the record, I was wearing my black Aldo oxfords with 4 1/4" slim heels. Almost stiletto, but I can't honestly call them stilettos among enthusiasts.
