Hi Ashley,

Dealing with what is being thrown at us on a day by day basis. There is good and then there is bad

Thank you for asking.

David

I hope everything is going okay for you david.

Ashley

Hi Mike, Unfortunately the dates don't work for us as we are heading south at that time. For anyone considering the Folsom Street Fair it is "must see/attend" event! David

Fabulous Boots, look great on you!

love your boots

Awesome!

i might be able to join you on the 10th!

Couple of us are meeting on August 10th (evening), downtown Toronto. If anyone else is in the area and wants to join pumpcat and I you are more than welcome. PM eithe rof us or post a note here and we'll touch base with you. Plan is to get a bite to eat on Church Street, freestyle on Church and pop into a club or two. David

SpikesMike, you've been peeking at my ensemble

Bernheels

How are we going to meet at your place without making your address public to the entire world ?

Meeting at a restaurant could still be something of an embaresment for you , in your home town,

since I would arrive there in high heels and a skirt. Also, With iloveboots arriving in crotch high boots

over jeans. This could be a real party. spikesmike.

Great info Bernheels.

You know you have me counted in

A steal! Great looking Boots.

Stopped and checked out a mall that I pass regularly when I am on the road.....inside there is a Traffic shoe store and they had boots and shoes on a rack at the back of the store for $10.....(afterseason close out merchandise).....on the rack was a pair of grey overknee boots with 4 inch heels.....I inspected the boots and found that they were a ladies sz 10.....this was too good of a deal to pass up so $10.55 cents later, I had added another pair of boots to my collection.....here are some pics

definitely one of the best celeb Boot Lady's!

Rihanna

MORE Rihanna

Dreamy!

Another Anne Hathaway shot.

and Jennifer Lopez is also a top, top celeb Boot Lady! Great styles she has designed as well.

Jennifer Lopez.

same here. Lets plan for the 10th.

sounds like fun! Planning now.

I am there the week of Aug 10-17; possibly before that as well. Lets plan something. David

I would go with the first ones. I'm not one to hide the heels. But I've been doing it for a long time. But its whatever you like. Don't worry about others. You bought the shoes with your own money, wear them and enjoy them.

well said !

count me in Mike & Bern

ditto however....I make them thigh highs!

Same here.

Great looking Boots and worn exactly as they should be...cool

These are the boots I wear over skinny jeans. Everyone that comments on them likes them.

Yes hazleton Lanes is an awesome heeling location; Yorkville/Bloor area is terrific with so many great shoe shops to wander into; also Church Street is a great street to hit at night.

I strut in sherway, square one, limeridge, and eaton centre mostly. Or course I can't forget hazelton lanes, super high class fashionistas there. And various starbucks. No place I wouldn't go, except with my parents, they hate it! They can't bring themselves to call them high heels. They say: do you have to wear those clodhoppers all the time? If I was I girl, there would be no issue! But I don't want to upset them too much. So I keep my heel heights around them to about 4". High fashion for my dad is shopping for formal wear at walmart. Not exactly knocking them dead on the red carpet at the academy awards ceremony.

Remember these awesome Boots from a meet in Toronto a few years back

i love wearing boots: i have two pairs and have been wearing them during the spring and autumn but not much in the summer. i'll post a photo in my gallery.

Could make the weekend August 17/18 possibly Bern, David

I enjoyed meeting iloveheels, the fellow from Alberta, spikesmike, and Bernheels who sat right next to me. Gary Page from Skyscraperheels also told me on the way back to his store (I dropped him off) he really enjoyed meeting you all. There should be no doubt who can and can't wear heels where I'm concerned, you guys rocked your boots while I wore my Jessica Simpson "Carlow" sandals which showed just a little of my light purple toes but lots of 6" stiletto heel. Wished more members were there but I think the main event was Saturday noght. To all who thought about going but didn't I'd say try a little harder next year as it is worth it. I drove about an hour and 30 minutes to spend about one hour and 45 minutes with these guys because I always honor my social commitments so I'm careful what I say yes to. It took me nearly four years to meet anyone from here but patience and determination are in my DNA when it involves something I really like doing. HappyinHeels

Here's the sandals I wore to our dinner on Friday night:

It was terrific meeting you too. Thank you! And thank you for the great note.

Cheers,

David

That was a nice heel meet. It was nice to meet Bernheels, first time. And it was nice to see Spikesmike again. To David (Iloveboots), sorry I missed you at the meet, hope you are feeling better for your return home.

Thanks to Colleen (Chicago Boots) for hosting this event, and as always thanks to HHP and its website team for giving us a place to learn about upcoming heel meets.

Much like the first annual North America/Chicago heel meet, the layout of the establishment was similar. It was nice for members of HHP to interact with club regulars from the domme/fetish crowd to share common interests in boots and enjoy a few drinks.Thanks again to David (iloveboots) for planning this heel meet. Hope you are feeling better.

Thank you KittyinBoots,

Sorry I missed you at the Friday night restaurant meet before I came down with a violent flu that completely knocked me out. The Saturday night event was very successful with over 60 people attending.

Chicago seems to be the right location for the North America Meets and Colleen and I are already planning the 5th anniversary of the meet for the Spring of 2014.

David

We are T - 2 days ! Cool!! Thank you everyone who has written to say you will be there....and thank you for the heads up from those who are unable to make it. Off to have a great heel meet!! David

Cool, that works. Also love the stores in eaton Centre as well as Bloor/Bay! Always fun!!

David

Hi David, I live in hamilton, but go to toronto usually on weekends and during the week sometime. I usually shop at the eaton certre and around queen west. I like to look at stores around bloor and bay, but they are too expensive to purchase anything. Ill pm you every now and then to see when we could gang out, and possibly with other people as well.

Clar.

Hi Clarissa, There is never a bad time to wear stiletto heel Boots out and about I am out west but I get to Toronto frequently. Lets stay in touch on dates. Usually organize meets that start at the Firkin & Churchmouse on Church Street then maybe a stop down the road at Zipperz. Are you downtown?

Hi Clarissa, Do you have any dates in mind? David
