Earlier this week I went for a walk in my 6 inch stiletto heel boots (yes, they did hurt my feet but blame the ground I walked on) and it was happily uneventful. No stares or anything like that. I just walked and aside from having to sit down a few times it was very nice to hear my heels click along. I have a video of walking in the boots on ground that didn't bite into the soles of my feet.

I don't find it beautiful, sorry. The foot curve that makes high heels appealing to me gets strange with a too high of a heel. If it's your cup of tea, go for it, do what you feel good doing. It's always rewarding and I feel your feelings. Anyway, I had worn 5 inch stiletto pumps on the street once. It was too challenging for me because of the uneven pavement, made me tip and the shoe even got out of my feet once. Nobody got a second glimpse, the problem was only in my head and it got away. I had a fire crazy night out that day. We all need to experiment to feel alive, kudos man !

I do have a handful of 6" no platform, but its been a while since I strolled in them,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, here was prob the best one

I have several pairs of TLSB brand! I bought them in ebay over the years. Some f from a seller named “Bobandangie”. Great people! Thee boots are def incredible. This is a pair

It’s evening now in France - how did the interview go?

I agree with skyheels. I like the boots. I have a pair of Nine West boots just like those that I have been “living in” the past few weeks. It’s hard to telll exactly what you are wearing from the picture. I can’t really tell if the top is a long shirt or a dress. If you don’t get the job, it will not be because of the way you are dressed.

Well I love your look in those Daggers Cat. Your legs are shapely and look relaxed despite the heel height - which I love.

For years I normally wore pumps and boots with 5 inch heels. A couple of years before my wife died I bought a couple pairs of pumps with 6 inch heels from 6inForever, which took some practice before I could wear them comfortably. My wife thought I was crazy wanting shoes with heels that high. While it took some practice getting used to themi, I wore them quite often to restaurants and other places where I didn’t have to stand very long. The extra inch in height required paying more attention to foot placement while walking and walking any distance was tiring. Shortly after buying the shoes with 6 inch heels I found a pair of black patent pumps from Little Shoe Box with 7 inch heels which I had to have. Wearing them was a real challenge. First of all, just putting them on required bending my foot to a position that was almost painful. I didn’t know that I could bend them that much. Learning to put them on, learning to stand upright without bending my knees and learning to walk while wearing them took months. Eventually, with a lot of practice I was able to wear them out to a restaurant. While me and my 5” heels were normal and comfortable, wearing the higher heels was was work and I never became comfortable while wearing them. These days, being a lot older, I seldom wear heels more than 4” high out of the house- opting for comfort more than style. I still have my higher heels and wear my 5” heels around the house occasionally but only take the 6” and 7” heels out of the closet to reminisce about the good old days.

Many years ago I visited The Little Shoe Box. It was only about 5 miles (London miles - they're rather long due to city traffic) from where I live. I tried on a pair of 5" heel boots. I'm petty sure I was served by the owner. I regret that I never actually bought anything from them.
