I’ve a mere seven pair, all boots - three stiletto, four chunky heels. I like having a pair of 12cm stilettos but I seldom wear them

I try to keep my collection at around 100. Even then, there are shoes that I don't wear often--once a year or less. Of course, if I were able to wear heels every day, that might change the equation somewhat. Kind of like the wealth inequality in the world, half a dozen of my shoes get 80% of the wear.

I am the opposite, though not truly about circulation. That I am unsure of. What I meant was, I am odd in that as long as my bottom half is warm, I am warm. I am known for NEVER wearing a jacket, typically a T-shirt, sweatshirt, then blue cotton button up shirt and that is it. No jacket, BUT I have to have my leggings under my jeans to keep my legs warm. Take them off me and I am SUPER cold. Edited to add that where I live, like right now, it is -7 degrees below zero Fahrenheit. That is -23 Celsius. It was -14 (f) earlier this week. There is one caveat here though, while I think the calorie rating of my button up work shirt is only 2-3, they tend to be thick because it prevents arc flash of high voltage circuits. Because of that they are warmer than most blue collar workwear.

Oh my, probably more information than you want to hear as I constantly say 'I do not wear heels, but my wife does'... Well, I have tried on a few of hers. Most just will not fit, but a few of her sling backs will. There is just enough elastic banding to them to stretch so they can be worn. But that is only about six out of several hundred pair!

I know I am.... The war department has called me that a few times...

Of course there’s always Imelda Marcos …

Only 200? My friend showed me pictures of her anut's high heel shoe collection, 600 to 800 pairs, mostly pumps. Asked me if I was jealous.

I’ve always had extremely good circulation in my legs and seldom feel the old there - I like warm jumpers though. I do need something bulky up top. Having said this, when I finally summoned up the courage to try wearing tall feminine boots I was pleasantly surprised by just how nice it is to have warm ankle and calves. I’d never go back!

I wear leggings from October to April these days. I can't take the cold like I used to, especially on my legs. I don't understand how these kids can wear shorts in the winter. I'd be much more likely to be able to do the opposite--short sleeve shirt with long pants (and probably leggings underneath that). It's a good thing I'm not a Korean girl. I don't know how they do it. Here's a real-life example, somebody I know personally, i.e., not online. I know she's wearing tights, but tights do not equal actual warm pants. I would freeze to death!

I'm certainly wearing my base layer tights today - big stormy blowing across the north of England! So nice to be out of that wind!

I do not wear high heels but I cannot say that about leggings. I live in mine. In the summer I just lounge around the house in them long after the working day is over, using them as a sort of pajamas. Sometimes I will mow the lawn, run out to the shop, or even go to a drive-thru wearing them, but mostly they are just "soft pants" for sleeping and relaxation around the house. In the winter I wear them 24/7 because I wear them under my jeans at work. I work outside, often in sub-zero weather like we have now, and working at height, it is ALWAYS windy. I used to wear sweat pants under my jeans but they were too bulky and long johns were itchy... leggings are perfect. They are even unisex leggings now though I just get the soft kind at the dollar stores. As for pantyhose, I heard they were also warm, but could never bring myself to wear them. Leggings work for me.

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.
