Been there, Done that, Please dont throw any shoes away. Youll only regret it later....Larry.

In the future, your heel interest might come back. For that reason Larry wrote that phrase.

I cannot say more about the boots than the people before me. Very beautiful Greetz, Joost

Unfortunality, I cannot start a new topic in "your favorite shoe pictures".

But this afternoon, I purchased a new pair high-heeled Italian-made ankleboots. And I wil share the pics of my new boots

Here the pics:

Heel hight 8 cm, outer and inner leather, sole without noise. The comfort is excellent, you don't feel you standing on heels

And a crocoprint nose. These boots are new very expensive. There was a sale at a exclusive shoe store, so I could buy them for far under the original price. Original they cost 200 Euro , I paid less then 80 Euro . It is size 40½. They fits very good, also suitable for size 41, but I really have easy feet.

Greetz, Joost

There are other places as good, if not better for your type of size 10 boots, but only outside London:

7. NineToElleven (Tallgirls) - in Surrey - see their website.

There is already a thread about the shop TallGirls: http://www.hhplace.org/hhboard/viewtopic.php?t=3394&start=0&postdays=0&postorder=asc&highlight=

And they have also a website: www.tallgirls.co.uk

You're welcome, shyguy. Hope you enjoy the boots also IRL.

Here, maybe a suggestion:

They sell nice big sizes.

From the Netherlands, I've got also a photo of me in heels:

Joost Majoor.

Picture taken at a shoe store in the centre of Arnhem, The Netherlands. Nearby my flat, I live in the centre of Arnhem.

The boots are nic. My taste of a beautiful elegant boot

Possibly a candidate for the ugliest shoe today Even at the fetish section are more grateful heeled shoes

Luckily, I've got the size 40½ EUR (UK 7, USA female 9½), so I can buy at the woman's section in Dutch shoe stores in Arnhem as Roberto, Manfield, Le Ballon, Van Dael and some more. Often during the sales due to financial reasons. Sometimes I buy als second hand via Internet (www.marktplaats.nl en www.ebay.nl) and at flea markets. Netherlands becomes one big flea market at Queens day (April 30th, birthday of the former Queen Juliana. Queen Beatrix' birthday is at the end of cold and rainy January so she decided to do Queens day at the birthday of her mum)

Unfortanility, size 40 became the most worn size in the Netherlands due to the length of the Dutch women. So I must take and pay quickly my favourite pair of boots. When I don't another people buy the boots. Esspecialy during the sale period. But most of the time I've luck and can add a wonderful new pair to my collection.

Nice, very nice classic boots. I can't say more :rofl:

Yes, Prince was only 1m60 long. But in the past, there were more male popstars wearing heels or even platforms: David Bowie, Elton John, Kiss, etc. Especialy during the 70s. Unfortunality, in the 80s male heel wearing disappeared totally :x

Welcome back Laurence. Your high-heel taste is more trendy, but your collection is still impressive. Especially the knee-high boots with high-heeled greetings, Joost (with a slightly conservetive classic oldskool female boots collection)

Nice For heel-wearing folks, Prince is an old-skool icon about wearing high heels. See the albumcovers and videos from him, i.e. 80s work

I think I read some where some years ago that Afrikaan has been described as a language in its own right because it is now so different from the Dutch from which it came.

Yes, indeed. But it is a very interesting language. Afrikaans has many elements from 17th century Dutch, and went its own way from the 17th century.

16 and 17th century English is readable. 16 and 17th century Dutch for 21st-century Dutch speakers not. The Dutch language has changed too much.

Yes indeed. Trains, and espcially old time-tables are my second passion (My female boots are my first passion)

American and British English speakers, You are not alone. There are also different versions of Dutch, French and German.

Dutch has its own Belgian and South-African version: Flemish (Belgium) and Afrikaans (South-Africa). The difference between Dutch from the North and Flemish is the same as British and American English. Flemish is more singin, with a soft g, softer. Afrikaans is 17th century Dutch with a English grammar and many influences from African languages, French, Malaysian, etc. See www.afrikaans.com

German has its own differences, as a example Swiss German (Schweisich Deutsch) is very different from German in Germany. Sometimes even excellent German speakers cannot understand Swiss German.

There's also a difference between French from France and Frenc from Quebec

I've got two model train systems: 1) N gauge with Dutch, German and American trains. But all from N gauge is compatible from German to Japanese, British and American stuff. So you can haul a Graham Farish loco Minitrix cars over Kato rails 2) Lego, the new 9V system

My size is 177 centimeters (1meter77) without heels. I never use the imperial system (inches, feet, miles, etc.), and I don't recommended that system. I'm entirely metric, sorry for those folks who unfortunality still use imperial sizes.

Both fun and ugly Absolutly, not my style, but probably very practical. Greetz, Joost

Yes, very classic. Hope you have fun, pleasure and comfort with these gorgelous boots :bday: :rofl:

I prefer boots above pumps and slippers, but after the pictures: this is a nice car and nice shoes. You have a gorgolous collection shoes. Where's the pictures taken? Greetings, Joost

Great classic boots, entirely my style. I wear the sort of boots daily. Enjoy them.

Nice, but I'm a boot lover. Female boots for wearing daily , not men's ones

exitman1, Very good you walked in public in Belfast. Last week I was on holiday in Stratford-Upon-Avon and I packed also heels but I did't tried on the streets there. But in the Netherlands I walked on heels very easily. Maybe in the future. . . . . Greetz, Joost
