I agree with you 4” heels are comfortable and great for wearing all day.

Almost nobody believes me that any heels can be comfortable, not even speaking of 4 inch heels...

And they are comfortable - as long as you buy decently made, decently fitting heels there is no reason to be uncomfortable. My 12cm heels may be a challenge for me to walk in gracefully, but they are not uncomfortable, at least not in a painful sort of way.

It’s too bad. I have a few pairs of pumps and a pair of boots from them. They seemed to be good quality, and even the 15cm boots are as comfortable as the height could be.

I was talking with a friend of mine the other day who said, "R. doesn't believe me when I say that four inch heels are comfortable." My response: "Yeah, I'm the only one who believes you."

I know what you mean! I’m tottering in my 12cm boots this morning, feeling very unpracticed. Utterly vile weather outside - horizontal rain, 80kmh (50mph) gusts, a temperature of 1°C (34°F) and a windchill of -13°C (8°F). Just had to go out - not in heels! - for a half mile walk up the flooded towpath with a dolly to a boatyard where I could buy a couple bags of coal. I was getting low and this was no day to run out. Now back aboard by the fire and feeling much more civilised in my heels - even if I totter about the galley as I make my coffee …

Well, for starters my pyjamas are basically warm track suit bottoms and a T-shirt and I’m just not going to wear those with stiletto boots. My stilettos are for dressing smartly. That’s just part of the deal. Indeed wearing heels has boosted my game in terms of dressing well for the home office. It’s just that one these chilly mornings, until I get the fire built, I’ve lingered in my already warm clothes and then get too focussed on work and forget. i don't need hand warmers. Once the stove gets going I’m plenty warm enough! I just need to take the time to go get dressed in my jeans and boots and return to work I'm somewhat relieved to hear that @mlroseplant has been slack in his heel wearing too, but I’m clearly losing ground big time to @higherheels whose now rocking her 13+ cm boots!

The only reason that I sort of care is because, well, I'm going to need some higher heels. As you know, I have quite a number of heels in the 11 cm range, but only one pair that is really wearable in public that is 12 cm, and I think that pair is kind of ugly, mainly because of the design of the toe. Also, if I wear anything but skinny jeans, it looks like I have no feet. At any rate, it looks like I have two remaining options: Fuss Schuhe and this outfit called the Highest Heels that keeps showing up on my Instagram feed. Or the designer route, but I don't really want to pay that kind of money. I'm willing to pay a couple hundred bucks for the right shoes, but not a thousand. For that kind of money, I'll buy another obscure musical instrument. Did I ever show you my early 20th century Conn cornet?

Ive worn thin wool base layers for cycling for ages and they look absolutely no different then feminine leggings or heavier denier pantyhose - it’s just the name. They’re indispensable when you’re out cycling for hours in the cold. By the same token, since I started wearing knee and OTK boots I’ve really come to appreciate warm ankles and calves on cold winter days. guys really need to put aside all this nonsense and just wear what is comfortable and what they personally feel looks nice - and forget about these made up fashion rules
