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?

Sounds like quite the shopping experiences, so sorry they didn't have your sizes in the styles you wanted, so frustrating indeed...

A very powerful look indeed, even though it is intended for personal safety! I hear ya, maintaining balance becomes more difficult as heel height goes up.

I hear ya for sure! I tend to have a pretty standard wardrobe, just many duplicates of the same item. Slim levis, long sleeve T shirts, hoodie sweat shirts. Love to wear my boots with my standard outfit, and even think it looks good, perhaps I am living in my own dream world. I have gotten a few pairs of tigher/stretch girl jeans from the thrift store though, which I really enjoy wearing.

Same here!

exactly

These boots are amazing. A great combination of all the styles I like. Nice tall shafts, pointed toes, great tall rugged heels, and reasonable to walk in...

Those boots are perfect for most any occasion. They look great, feel great, and easy to walk in. I would also agree that 4" heels are optimum for me as well in terms of actually walking around doing things..

I spent yesterday afternoon working on an outboard project, wearing my 4" nine west booties. These booties are very easy to walk in and look great. But, will have to admit it, sore feet after standing around at the work bench for three hours...

YIPES! You gambled on playing with fire for sure

Well, I don't feel it is appropriate for me to judge, Nonetheless, sneaks would be fine, but definitely not a fan of the sneaks she is wearing.

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.
