The US military also has its rules regarding hats. The Army and Air Force require you to salute an officer or superior officer indoors weather you are wearing a hat or not. The Navy on the other hand requires you not to salute indoors or while not wearing a hat. The Navy also required you to remove your hat when entering a sickbay or medical facility.

Feet need to breath and shed sweat.  Sandals are perfect for that. Sandals let you display your painted and decorated toenails and also your toe rings. Boots just hide that and make your feet sweat. 

Man, it would be nice to sneak off to Sydney or Melborn where it is summer and sandal weather. This northern hemisphere winter weather is too cold and tiresome for too long. 

One thing about AI, it is notorious for creating fake facts and references to fake articles.  Many judges have banned lawyers from using the work created by AI in their court rooms due to the creation of fake legal cases used to bolster an attorney's testimony and documents.

High prices are not a measure of quality. If the buyer is foolish enough to pay a high price for a shoddy product, the manufacturer and seller will be willing to sell them that product. Cavite Emptor.

If you are visiting San Francisco the 'Painted Ladies' Victorian houses are classic examples and are worth the visit. 

Those shoes are not outlandish at all. They are quite suitable for office wear with a red pant suit or skirt suit. They might even be OK to be worn to a wedding or a liberal church, with the right dress.

Karma would strike me back quickly if I ever laughed (even internally) at someone struggling in heels!

Never ever mess with Karma or her brother Murphy, their laws will get you every time.

You’re definitely better off without them in the Middle East. Think of dark mediaeval prisons and the sorts of things that happen there and embrace the flat-heeled life. I have a heavy Barbour oilskin coat that I wear all the time in winter and like quite a bit - I’ve had it 25 years - but I don’t miss it in the summer. That’s just not the season for it. Ditto my Panama hats. I’ve some very fine weave Ines, but I don’t miss wearing them in the winter. To everything it’s season …

The only way that you would be able to get away with wearing heeled shoes or boots in the Middle East is to go full blown Texan, with heeled men's cowboy boots, jeans, a fancy shirt with a bolo tie, and a 10-gallon hat. Pretending that you are an oilman.

Well im visiting France  with parter and friends. 

As usual I'm in my 4" block heels on full show no comments and not noticed any reactions.

No one cares. 

We went from London Gatwick airport to Geneva and got a bus to annecy all in my heels.

Morocco in December and dubai In May.

Is there any country's that I need to avoid wearing heels?

 

The Arab countries, especially those with strict Islamic Koranic laws A man wearing any form of woman's clothing or shoes could end up in jail or worse. 

In the battle between those of us who like to wear or like to see others wear stylish high heels or very high heels and podiatrists, the podiatrists are currently winning. Their lack of fashion sense, taste and, the insistence that everyone wear flats is an abomination to the senses and the imagination.    

Let's face it. It takes a lot more concentration and effort to maintain one's balance and footing on a pencil thin stiletto, than a so-called stiletto wedge heel.  With a real stiletto heel there is no room for slips and mistakes. With a wedge heel, there is plenty of the shoe or boot to cover any minor errors in one's footing.  

Another pair of boots for Herman Munster.

I think the communion girl's shoes are more suitable for the beach, not at a church.

The designers just set the so-called seasonal trends just to get you to buy their products and make money. 

Practice, practice and even more practice

It is always easier to do something bold in a crowd with others doing the same bold act, than it is to do the bold act solo.

Cheap and easy to wash for the off brands. The kind of shoes that a county jail would use for its inmates.

Those are gorgeous stiletto heels but it looks like you might have been sinking into a soft lawn?

That's how she aerariates the lawn.

Who knows what else lurks in the back darken shadows of one's closet?

Being addicted to heels is much better than being addicted to drugs and/or booze....

And less expensive...

Totally agree, that kind of extreme platforms is like the person is wearing clunky furniture on their feet.

SF, you can wear sandals this time of year because you live where it's warm. Not where I live. It's boots or booties and maybe a winter type boot if the snow is deep enough or the temp cold enough. Like my insulated UGG "Seldon" leather knee boots with 3" big block heels. Not those ugly UGGS boots a lot of the gals are still wearing this year. Ugg does make real knee  boots and I have a pair in both black and brown to wear.

Happy Heeling,

That may not be the case for quite a spell for SF in Sothern California as well as me in the Bay Area. We are both due for some nasty cold and wet weather- atmospheric river they call it. Sandals? you got to be kidding in that stuff.

Now that a few months have passed, I am sorry to report that, in fact, the platform is here in the Midwest USA. Which means that it's an actual trend, not just a passing fad. When I say platforms, it's not like the kind I wear. I mean huge, clunky, elephantine shoes. Not every girl is wearing them, but I've seen enough of them to know that our worst fears have actually gained some traction in the fashion world.

Too bad the girls don't have the fashion sense to leave that style of platform shoes to Herman Munster.

If there is a lot of money involved, $75k is quite a lot, there will always be somebody willing to do it. Regardless of the qualms of ethics.
