They look great, rugged heels that work in most any terrain/occasion

I have always felt that given a certain actual heel height, it is much easier to walk in them with larger feet.

Would love to be able to get rid of my car for sure. But, most of the US is just not set up with good public transportation.

I will have to measure my nine west ankle boots this way today!

So true

You are sooo right. It is the total design of the shoe/boot that determines walking ease and comfort. I just wish that there was a universal accepted way/method for measuring heel height. As we know, heel heights vary even on a particular manufacturer's exact model depending on size. I have struggled for many years to make the jump from 4 to 5"/12cm heels. I was so thrilled to find these nine west stiletto booties (5"/12cm) heels that are fairly easy to walk in! Too bad I wrecked one of the heels, since found another pair though, will be more careful.

I wore my 10cm ankle boots for several hours yesterday while rejuvinating the latest outboard I pulled off my buddy's junk pile, felt great, very comfortable

So sorry to hear this, nothing more upsetting than heel failure on a great pair of boots. What brand/style are you tall heeled boots? I often wonder if my walking style has something to do with heel failure. Those boots are amazing, and fit so nicely, so sorry about the heel... Sure hope the repair works out, cobblers around here won't touch a broken/loose heel..

Cool!

I have oftened wondered the same thing about myself. Just wish there was some way of recording my stride in boots to get a true idea of how I look. I might be very disappointed, or perhaps I would learn how to improve...

You look great in those kick ass pumps. They look to beyond my skill level for sure, so envious of your skills. D

I hear ya for sure. I have to go out one more time to deal with the snow tonight, but at least I am wearing my leggings and tall Hunter boots.

I am a member of the anitque outboard club as well, aomci.org. I am from the east coast so not many old outboards left out here. Have often dreamed of roaming through boathouses/barns on midwest lake houses though! My swap meet went well yesterday, many more attended that I had figured... I could only hang out outside for about five or ten minutes at a time before having to go back inside for a bit, but my legs were not frozen! I am wearing my leggings again today for pushing the darn snow, love wearing my gloss black Hunter refined tall boots over my levis though, great for snow removal chores. Do you remember the name of the guy who was president of the local AOMCI chapter? So true.

Don't be too hard on yourself buddy

I had my leggings on under my levis at my antique outboard outdoor swap meet today in 10F weather, they truly helped.
