  1. wow, these are gorgeous legs!! however it seems like the shoes are way too big for her feet. :irked:

    I agree. Almost seems her toes would end just past the material that starts the shoebox. Perhaps the other few inches are solid foam? That or the tiny girl has size 14 feet...

  2. Nice find, very nice gallery.

    After a good hour+ being spent inside that persons gallery and a little googling afterwards, I think I've found the shot that makes me go 'WoW'

    Specifically why? Well, check out the heels she was wearing for a start! : (second pic)

  3. Stunning dress. A real head turner.

    Personally, I love the look of the first pic. The boots and dress sit great with each other:

    But I think I'd prefer the 3rd if you tried it without the leggings:

    Those pumps are stunning, where did you get them?

    Regardless, you look great in all those outfits and I hope you have a great time!

  4. My wardrobe is vast when it comes to shirts. Shockingly I only have 4 pairs of pants - 2black, 2dark gray. I have pretty much every color from black to white through purples, blues, greens, reds and a few reds. I don't feel I suit pale colors like yellows or pastels as they emphasis my pale white complexion so avoid those. I've had plenty of comments from "Hello Vicker" (reference to my black shirts) to "Oh my god my eyes!" (reference to a shocking black/bright green pinstripe shirt). I laugh it off though. To me I feel the easiest in a fitted purple shirt with black pants and my heels with perhaps a cardigan to take the edge off the block colors - it's how I'd personally dress if I was to wear what I wanted to the office.

  5. Thanks for sharing and congratulations on your first outing! I know exactly what you mean about the heel tips wearing down. They appear to vanish more with every footstep but believe me that they're not going to wear away from walking just a few hours. Even my smallest heel tips have lasted several hour+ long outings and are only half-way gone. Some of the wear is also down to the weight you apply on the heel while walking. As you gain strength in your muscles to maintain your weight on your toes, you'll notice heel tips start to wear less over time while feeling more comfortable too! Party feet or foam insoles are essential for your first few times out. With boots, add socks and tights too to help increase padding too. Your feet will burn like crazy until you get used to the harder surface and walking longer distances between breaks. Good luck, keep us updated and congratulations again! Chris

  6. Hi folks, Thanks for the warm replies. I came away from that wonderful experience wishing I could do it again the following day. I'm certainly not going to wait around in my car for over an hour next time. I'm actually considering a pair of pumps next time instead of the shoeboots as the heel on the shoeboots moves around a little too much to feel in control when on slippery surfaces. Plus pumps are easier to slip on and off where as the laces on the shoeboots require a little more time when I'm trying on. I don't think I'm ever going back to the block-heeled boots unless it's a coordinated outfit, and certainly not if I'm going to be trying on new shoes - there's a mile of laces on those boots! Thanks again, Chris

  7. I posted a little prelude to this outing earlier today however please forgive me because I just have to share my little adventure today! [[ If you read my blog post, please skip this little section ]] I had decided to take a few hours out after work and go shopping at a retail park far enough away from home to have almost no chance of anyone knowing me while I was out there. This level of security gave me the courage to wear my heels while shopping and a friend of mine insisted that I stop wearing the block-heel boots and hiding them under long baggy jeans and instead go for a slightly shorter boot-cut light blue jeans with the oxford-style shoeboots that I dearly love, meaning my stiletto heels would clearly be on show! So I arrived at the retail park at around 5:30 and took until 6pm to get out of the car. I was very scared but couldn't sit in my car all night and eventually started walking. First store - Boots (UK super-pharmacy), I needed a drink before starting my little shoe-shopping spree. Within 3 steps of entering the building my foot slipped from under me on the polished marble floor and I almost went down right away. Thankfully, no-one noticed (or I didn't see anyone who did notice), I gathered my composure and took my steps a lot more carefully. I'd not worn Stilettos on a polished surface before so this was partly my own fault though I got to grips with it quick enough. After checking out several high street fashion stores and trying on a dozen or so pairs of shoes between different stores, I eventually decided I didn't like any of the boots or shoes enough to make a purchase, however I did get some great comments from other shoppers such as "Those look cute" or "Where abouts are they? I'd love to try them." Even the staff were nice, kind and always helpful though a couple raised an eyebrow at first. Negatives - there were a couple of young kids (no older than 10) running around one store and they continually stared at me as I went about my business which was just a little off-putting, and several boyfriends/partners of girls who inclined to smile or speak to me as I was trying on several styles seemed a little uneasy about me being near their wives/girlfriends or talking with them. There was also an older gent stood at the door to one store with walking stick in hand. He saw me from a distance heading his way and didn't stop looking at me until I'd entered the store and disappeared behind the racks and was still scowling at me as I left 10minutes later. All in all, I really really enjoyed my hour or two out shopping in my heels. I'm going to do it again and soon! Perhaps not the shoeboots next time but we'll see. Thanks for reading - I just wanted to share. Chris

  8. Unfortunately I had to skip large parts of that as I'm in work and really shouldn't have been watching it. Anyway, I really applaud that lad for doing what he wanted to do - he's also got some stunning footwear options - the black plats he wore in the end scene were spectacularly delicious. I wish him all the luck in the world (and with a little luck he may find us here too!) Random side note, I know his town and know the place he went to for Prom. They don't make many drag queens out that way, no wonder he was a little scared about arriving to prom in a dress! I'm just thrilled he had such a good night, it could have been a disaster if it wasn't for his friends. Chris

  9. I love the wedges; They are hot! Why are they tagged "The Unloved" in one picture?

    Because for some reason they're never my first choice when I have the option of wearing heels, so I've come to call them my Unloved. I do love them of course but I've only worn them twice so far while I wear the other shoes almost daily and the boots I wear regularly under long jeans while out shopping. I'm going to make a conscious effort and wear them at least once a week for a while.

    I did notice that the heel looked a bit small to me and I was wondering if it did that to you. I have worn shoes with a similar heel and they did the same for me. I try to get a heel that is bit thicker at the top, the bigger the diameter of the heel the less it will do that.

    I thought it would have been something like that as it does taper rapidly from the base of the foot into the heel stem. I know that a few members here have those exact shoes and I'd love to hear if it has the same effect on those who are a little lighter on their toes than myself. I do find the sensation slightly off-putting especially on uneven ground but I'm determined to wear those shoes while ever my foot fits in them, I love them so much!

    Thanks for the feedback folks :irked:

  10. Personally, I know specifically what I like and I don't deviate far from it when I'm out shopping. I don't like bold colors, I prefer stiletto heels to all others, and most importantly I don't like my toes on show. Sure, that limits my options a bit but it's both what I like to wear and what I like most on other women. Are you picky? Do you avoid certain styles/colors/etc for any specific reason? Chris

  11. I'm glad you like. I love the oxfords too but they're a pain to walk in. I continually feel like the heel is moving underneath me as I put my weight down through the shoe, then it 'flicks' back straight as I move my weight to the other foot. No other shoes I own or have ever worn do this. Is this normal? I'm hoping to get some good shots of the wedges today. Poor things haven't seen my feet in months! Chris

  12. It's a no from me too. The thought of my beautiful shoes getting damaged is enough to drive me around the bend. Sure, there's scuffs and scrapes on a few pairs through general wear and tear but even that bugs the life out of me. Getting my black velvet plats dirty or wet would be a nightmare! Chris

  13. Hi Lazlo, welcome to HHP. I'm glad you and your wife have such a wonderful passion. There are a number of sites that make heels specifically to order, most of which have been posted around these forums. If you get stuck though, feel free to post and ask! We're all 'heel junkies' around here :irked: Chris
