Tech, Thanks for the help!

Now back to daydreaming of boots.....

Okay, slightly off topic: how does the forum and sub forum work.  The only way I can find this thread is to go into my profile and see what topics I started.

Where do I find the "forum for dummies" thread?

Thanks!

Thanks for the tip TBG.  unfortunately, they stop at 14 and I need 15.

Last time I was in heels was the fall of 2011 in 4 & 1/2 plastic Pleasers sandals.  plastic sole, plastic heel, clear plastic across ball of foot.  In the seven years before that I had a couple pairs of Pleasers pumps --plastic soles and carboard uppers.

Now I'm thinking of taking that next step and getting a pair of real heels.  Leather sole, suede uppers, reasonable heel.  I found these Nancy Jayjii mid-thigh boots.   Anyone have experience with these boots or company?

I think we should use body rather than sex to determine what is acceptable. If you have the body to look good in it, go fo it. I actaully, catch myself during the day asking myself "would I like to see that in stillettos?" It's a rather fun little diversion.

Nice looking picture. Won't she run her hose kneeing like that? My real question is: won't she cave in the toe of her shoe kneeling like that? I can never figure out how to kneel in heels. I know. Just look at the pretty heels and don't ask stupid questions. But I real want to know.

Just goes to show that in years (centuries) gone by, that men used to wear heels. Do you think if white wigs and capes make a come back, heels will follow???? That would be great. Who said anything about heels? You need to look at the Burger King's pictures.

Hi all, Thanks for all the replies. I'd have to vote no as well. It was a point of curiousity. I do like jhs's idea of stillettos being orthopedic shoes --then you could deduct them as medical equipment on you taxes! On a side note, good luck with the toe issue. Would you be able to safe it if you wore boring flats?

Tech: the really gross part is that women really were having foot surgery to fit into the shoes that they saw on the TV show "Sex and the City" a few years back. This question is just a point of curiousity.

If you had the opportunity to have your tendons shortened, would you?

Plain black business attire pumps. I don't want anything flashy, just something well built. Real leather, a little padding, good fit. Evidentaully, if you have big feet, you must be a stripper and like PVC boots with flames.

Just wondering if you gave up the boring man shoes?

Shrimper: no thanks. I love hose way to much to skip them. If I was doing flats, I'd just go with running shoes. No reason, just the way I am. Now ballet heels... that would be COOL. Perhaps I should suggest it to me wife --ha ha.

WAY TO GO!!!! Telling your folks shows that you value them and feel like you can tell them anything. Parents like that stuff.

Regen: I'm 6 foot 4 and 5/8" call it 6'5". Due to my height, I like to keep the heels around 3" which limits the selection even more. Barbara: thanks for the input. What do people think about these (drum roll please while I try to attach a picture)...

Henri: I hope my legs look that good at 67! So what is your job? Do you see clients on these weekly trips? Do the people at your company know about your heels?

I've read a lot of posts here about public heeling away from home. I've done quite a bit of that myself. I went out last weekend in a long skirt and boots and was mad at myself. I drove 45 miles away to do it. Sure I was in public, but a public of strangers. I want to get to the next step which is stepping out of my house and going to the local stores, restaurants, anywhere. Public close to home vs a public of strangers. How many here have reached the level of heeling in public close to home?

Women's US size 15. It makes shopping a bit challenging.

HappyInHeels: thanks for the link. Those are nice heels, however, I wear a women's size 15. BoyLegs: Those are the nicest MaryJanes I've seen. Is there any chance you could tell me wear to get a pair in size 15?

Hey, if it won't cost you your job or wife, I say go for it. You're just being practical and using what you have. People should commend you for it!

Dr Shoe: they have 1 3/4" heels. Nothing high by any means, just traditional cowboy boots. On a side note: does anyone know of a good skirts and heels site?

Dr Shoe: no Army boots, but how about cowboy boots? I wore cowboy boots with a long skirt over the weekend and thought it worked quite nice.

With spring and summer coming, I'm eager to get into my denim mini skirt, hose and t-shirts. What shoe goes best? I would like a closed toe pump, but is that too dressy? And don't say flip-flops --yuck.

Jeff, I highly recommend trying a denim or leather mini skirt with your boots. Hose or tights are warmer than you think especially with the boots covering most of your legs. I once shoveled the driveway in a miniskirt and had a wonderful time (at 4am).
