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.

He is a cool guy indeed, I even visited with him once in Ohio, had a great time!

Always loved go go boots, and remember being mesmorized by them as a kid. Would really love a good quality pair today for sure.

I have the same issue, but have never actually measured my calves, too embarrassing I guess...

Good for you! I would be afraid of slipping/skidding, but you handled it no problem!

So sorry to hear this. Hoping you got some sort of financial/insurance benefits that might carry on for awhile. I was ready to leave the airlines as well, but didn't think this retirement thing through very well. I really need to find a little job to get me out of this house and keep my mind engaged. Would love to be able to wear my boots at work also.....

Yep, even tried a barge, no luck....

Same here. I really do like/enjoy many different styles of boots, but am extremely particular at the same time. So, I can appreciate classic pointed toe stiletto boots and go go boots as well. But, the slightest feature/design can turn off my interest instantly as well.

I couldn't "carry a tune in a bucket"...

That's how you know when a pair of boots fits well, and are engineered for actually walking in...Best feeling ever

instruction number one on the second method seems vague to me

was wondering the same things

You look great, how were they to walk in?
