Back on the subject of feminising the male wardrobe, I have been giving thought to my taste in boots. While I like the racy elegance of stilettos, my personal style preference is for block or chunky heel knee or ankle boots. But at the same time, I dislike cowboy boots or Chelsea boots - which also have chunky, albeit not quite as high as I like. it’s not purely a matter of height but of design and lines. It’s the fitted feminine styling and elegance - as a matter of aesthetics not because I feel feminine myself.

The snow and ice are gone from the towpaths, but the mud remains. Heels worn only indoors …

We have survived yet another cold snap, and I've got to get back to my walking. It's been almost a week, and you know how I mentioned somewhere back there that you can't really afford to take more than a day or two off? Oh, yeah. Four inch heels definitely feel like four inch heels again.

Thanks @bluejay, for providing us the update. It just so happens that just the other day, I was going through some of my "shoe notes," and I wrote down at some point, "Used the Steve method this time." What I must have meant was shoe stretching, to make narrow shoes a little bit more comfortable. Steve had suggested wearing the too-narrow shoes in the shower, and then wearing them until they were dry.

Thank you. I’d forgotten about him - we corresponded occasionally quite a few years ago. Nice guy.

He's still around, but he's not wearing heels anymore. He's into wearing Tiek's women's flats, big time. His wife passed away about a year ago. I still correspond with him occasionally . We were supposed to get together last July, when he was attending an event nearby but he got sick and had to return home to Ohio. BTW he's not on HHP any more as well as my heeling friend, from southern California, mrnotar. Happy Heeling, bluejay

Gosh, I remember Steve. He and I communicated for a while. I wonder whatever happened to him

Mirose, that guy your referring to is Steve from Ohio. He sold his hosiery business several years, ago to someone from Canada. I have several pairs of his hosiery and I like them a lot. They are definitely for a guy as they have a fly in them. They are 80d. They are not very heavy. If you guys are looking for a heavier pair of tights get fleece lined women's tights or leggings. Happy Heeling, bluejay

I shall certainly be buying more. They would be handy for boat life in any event.

I have many leggings that are for specific purposes. My therma-compressions are my skiing base layer. My fleece are so soft and make a great 'pajama' bottom or layed under sweatpants to work my garden in the winter. And thin ones for a cool summer evening. ....
