So they came in the mail on monday and now I'm happy. I actually don't think I need the shafts on these altered, even though it is laced as tight as it can go, it's a really snug fit. And even though the heel is thinner than my other ones these are so much easier to walk in. These actually fit a bit tighter than the others too, even though they're both 9s and the same brand so I'm not sure what's up with that. And I think I need to wear em more for the leather around the ankles to break in a bit, it's a little stiff from being all new and stuff. But I still love these boots

Dooooood I'm online right now

So I ordered those matte boots last weekend and they should be coming in the mail on Monday. I also talked with one of the women up at work (that knows I wear heels) about a place to go get the shafts altered. So now they just need to show up. I hate waiting for mail.

I'm online at the moment lol

It says that I got it in your thread 'predators, prey, and high heels' when I made the comment with the flushie emoticon. XD I guess someone found that funny

I have 1 reputation. I got it like two weeks ago and just noticed haha

That's awesome, I never thought about making my own aglets (thank you google). But now I need cellophane tape and a lighter. I'm sorta bummed that i'm gonna have to wait until the end of the month for my next check to get those new boots. I'll keep practicing with these 7 1/2s and maybe 6" will be a piece of cake when I get them.

Oh that's funky, you're last reply isn't showing in the conversation. I just found it on your profile. Anyway, I need to find a phone book now lol. And wouldn't cutting the laces make it really hard to re-tie it because you're cutting the little plastic ends off and it would fray? Or do you just never re-tie them?

I think I'll stick with boots under the jeans for now. Once I get comfortable enough with just wearing them, I can get some skinny jeans and try that. I have noticed that there is a little bit of room left in the shaft even though it's as tight as it can get. Where would you even get the shafts altered? And also, what's a good way of dealing with excess lace?

My entire wardrobe consists of basically regular fit blue jeans, t-shirts, and an awesome grey jacket that I have had for a couple years. I am reaaally slim built (like 110 lbs) and have long wavy hair too if that makes any difference. I have no idea about skinny jeans because I've never tried them before.

Ok, I actually have something relevant to say now, but you don't have to get back to me now if you're busy. I currently have these boots (http://www.snaz75.com/pl-taboo-2021.html). And I was thinking of getting these (http://www.snaz75.com/pl-delight-2023.html). Lower platform, less chance of breaking an ankle, and I can get it in matte so it will look a bit less like, you know, stripper boots. Good choice, bad choice?

Well, don't drown. You're too awesome.

WOAH, you're a moderator now!!!!!!

How you doing? I had a pretty good day today.

Thank you for attempting to understand me lol. I might be too tired to think straight at the moment.

I'm determined to figure this out. Maybe it could just have the height of the heel discounting any platform, and then the platform height (if any). So you could have just 4" heels, or 3",1", or 5",1/2". Or something. Maybe I'm just crazy lol

And sorry that you're having trouble finding single-sole stuff. I've only shopped online and had no idea about that until very (ilikekicks thread tonight) recently.

Hmmm, well a 4" inch rise is what I like, now that I go back and read what I said i was even confusing myself. Sorry about that. I am not into really steep heels, like ballet or anything, if that's what you thought. Measuring the heel height isn't exactly accurate when there's a platform. It's like you need two measurements. My current ones are 7 1/2" with 3 1/2" platform. I was thinking of getting something along the lines of 5" and 1", or 6" and 2", so that there is less side to side wobble. I'll probably also find something in matte, not patent leather. I almost wish they would measure heels by the angle on instep and not by heel height, so the size of the shoe and platform would not make a difference.

I take it you don't care for platforms? That's understandable, I just think they add a bit more........ meat, I guess, to the shoe. 3 1/2" of platform is a little ridiculous, but that was the point.

And I'm back

Hehehehehe, 7 1/2" platforms. I know, I know. I can walk in them, except I find some thicker carpet too wobbly. I was trying to find my height limit. So, I was thinking somewhere in the 5 or 6" range with 1 or 2" of platform. I'm leaving for work, So I 'll be gone until this evening.

I feel like I need to wear heels more now. I should probably invest in some easier to walk in though lol

I have no doubt you've been doing this for a while. I hope I get to see something with my own eyes to prove it is changing though. Like, I've never seen another guy in heels in person, and it kinda sucks. HHplace helps a ton though, I don't feel alone in this anymore. But, it's hard to tell if I'm just unlucky or if I live in a more close minded city.

I see, and about your musings of the future thread; you really think the world is that close to changing? It doesn't seem like it me, but maybe that's just because I haven't been out in them much. I guess that's a redundant question though, since you posted it already.

Idk, I was bored, forum didn't seem very active last night
