Well, having to find a 38" inseam is surely not one of my issues. It sounds like you have a long and lean physique, which of course, is perfect for tight fitting women's jeans. Is the inseam length as much of an issue if you wear your boots over the jeans? In other words, can you get away with a much shorter inseam if you wear the jeans inside the boots? For me, I have just experimented with thrift shop girl jeans. I didn't want to spend big bucks not really knowing what size/length would be right for the old "dad bod". I found a pair of "lucky brand" dark blue "hayden" 12-31 stretch jeans that fit nicely. They are low rise, so it seems important having the old butt in decent form to keep them from drooping down, I just wear a belt. I have a dark grey pair of the same lucky jeans/same size, probably donated by the same person. I like these jeans because they stretch so fit fairly tight without feeling constricting. Definitely look nice with my nine west blank stiletto ankle boots, or most any boots for that matter. A few years back, I ventured into the levis store in Vegas, looking for a pair of women's jeans. It seems like styles have changed, most women's jeans now seem to be "high rise", saw no real "low rise" styles. Not a fan of the high rise look though. My go to for years was always the levis 511s, they fit fairly nicely. Tried a pair of 510s years back also, had to face the fact that I am not 29 anymore. The sales person in the levis store was quite pleasant and helpful, I'm sure she realized she had a sale if she just stuck with me while I pondered several styles. Finally, she recommeded levis 512s. These seem to be a combination of 510s, nice tight fit on the legs, combined the a slightly more "dad bod" fit around the waist hips. I really like the way the fit and bought a pair, probably should have bought two pairs, they might be discontinued now!

Same here, just wearing my block heeled ankle boots lately, better than nothing. Finally, yesterday, I put on my 4.5" stiletto ankle boots while working on an outboard in the basement, and was thrilled at how easy it was to walk in them, and how good it felt/looked...Wore some tighter fitting levis black women's jeans for the occasion

Compliments from guys are the ultimate compliments indeed!

For sure! It is so frustrating to have a gal pal with great boots, but they are too small for you! Nonetheless, I have squeezed my feet into many friend's boots that were too small for me.

So sorry to hear this, those boots are beautiful. I have the same difficulty, 4" heels no problem, 5" heels are a problem for extended wear. I finally found a pair of black nine west stiletto booties with 5" heels that were comfortable and fairly easy to walk in. I was on cloud nine until I broke one of the heels from walking so much. Needless to say, nine west discontinued this particular style, but I did manage to find another pair used. Don't give up Gige!

I haven't seen MJ active lately, but haven't looked that hard. Hoping to see more of your great pics/boots here, or perhaps on another site where you are active. All the best. D

Same here, love wearing women's jeans, just fit better. My only complaint are the useless pockets! It is great to hear from you again here for sure! Always dreamed of owning a great pair of Western Ranch boots from years ago, should have sprung for a pair back then. I do have a few pairs of MJ boots, not overly impressed. To be fair, they were "returns", or orders that were never shipped. Love my light colored pair with the 5" heels, but they are tough to walk in for any distance, should have stuck with 4" heels. I would give MJ boots another chance though for sure. They were reasonably priced, well constructed, good leather, and looked great.

Yes, I have a similar issue from just standing in my boots.

You are right, you will definitely be noticed. Most won't say anything, but you will feel many stares in your direction. So, having confidence in what you are wearing, and how you look is so necessary. We have to remember that many disapproving looks are truly just envy, whether they come from men or women. The important thing is how you feel about how you look. In my case, I have to be honest with myself, no way I can pull off many of the outfits I might like to wear, this old dad bod just isn't up to it. But, I still think I look pretty good in some nice boots over tight fitting levis or girl jeans. So, over the years my confidence has increased. I can honestly say that I think I look good, and that is all that matters. Needless to say, recieving an occasional compliment refuels my confidence, don't mind admitting that. The other thing to remember is it is important to dress appropriately for the occasion/audience. A tight skirt/hose/tall heels probably isn't appropriate for a football stadium or Home Depot. Cali's advice about "dressing smartly" is very important indeed. My best to all my HHP buds for a happy holiday season and healthy 2026! Don

I agree that most of us tend to be impatient at the beginning of our heeling journey. We want to jump right into tall stiletto heels and take off! Needless to say, this results in pain and humiliation if we are stumbling around in public. Both of these experiences are confidence killers. Always best to start off slow and low, working your way up as muscles adjust/strengthen and proficiency increases. Ah yes, I have forgotten about the pain in the balls of our feet.

They are indeed, just my style, and love how nicely the jeans fit also

I'll swear that wearing decent fitting heels/boots actually helps my posture and reduces back pain

So sorry for you losses, you deserve a christmas gift for sure

It is so frustrating to have a quick glimpse at what may be a great pair of heels/boots, only to have the person take off in the other direction, or have the heels covered by long flared pants. I have been known to covertly follow someone to get a better look, but very carefully, never want to seem creepy or rude.

Sure hope you get to make this trip soon. And you guys are right, no problem pedaling in stiletto boots, but you must think about dismounting to avoid the heel stumbling on the pedal and having you end up falling over. And yes, I end up overthinking it because I am trying to avoid scratching up the heels/boots.
