  1. I am still learning, and typing out messages at a furious pace, and I am actually trying to get something useful in most of them! Of course, I have always been eager, so I came here and ran before I could crawl, if you prefer that style of metaphor. I will get the hang of things, even more so now that I am reading more and writing less! Thanks for the tip!

  2. I have an intersting theory about this, but not everyone may like it. The continued thought of ankle socks with high heels in today's society often manifests itself in the area of fetish and pornography. I feel there is a disturbing trend here. School uniforms and plaid jumpers, pig tails, ankle socks with a lacy edge, and high heels. This seems to relate to an image of woman as a little girl. Perhaps it is meant to indictae that the woman is like a young girl, a virgin, trying to grow up a bit for attention. A rare stretch might be a tendancy to satiate pedophiles? I think the most accurate explanation for the attraction to socks with heels might be as a means to recapture one's youth. After all, are these not grown women posing for the pictures? They are being made out as reverting to youth, and so too would the viewer, in some way. As a fashion trend, socks and heels certainly were alive in the early 80s. I still think that it has a relation to a recapturing of a youthful time in life, but the heels signify the ability to be grown up and handle the more adult situations. Are heels and cute socks a regression to a time when girls felt pretty and care free at a young age? A time when they wished to grow up, but still hold onto the innocent values of youth? I think there is a link here. As far as the knee socks and heels, and other styles... pure European trend setting is a possibility, but then, young girls and even boys in many European countries had knee socks with their outfits. perhaps it is the same situation - a means to recapture aspects of youth while projecting a hint of adulthood.

  3. You are the lucky one. I was a teenager, but I don't remember when. They were lower heels, maybe two inches. Black, as I recall. They are long gone, and almost forgotten. The oldest pair of shoes I have now is about four years in age, I wore them to work today! Only a three inch heels, yes I know, but a pointier toe, a simulated suede (or real, the regular price was a bit higher than normal, but half off sales are wonderful) The nice part, scooped sides and criss crossing straps across the vamp with a gold buckles to secure the straps at the ankle.

  4. I have this thing for slingbacks with a higher heel. Three inches and up, but four is best. Preferably slingbacks with a buckle on the strap. Maybe it is some subconscious bondage fetish? I don't think so, but anything is possible. Black sling backs are wonderful, as are slingy sandals. Why? I do not know, but four pairs in a row in my closter are like this, slingy! Two pumps, two sandals. all with hights between three and four inches. I buy what I can fit, and fashion here isn't so focused on the higher heels.

  5. A pair of black oxfords with a four inch post heel have been sighted on my bedroom floor. Rumours indictae that I wore them to work today, but nothing has been confirmed :smile: In the real world? A very nice pair of boots with a thin three inch heel was worn by someone who works for another company. Knee high, a bit of a patent, I would think. Where do I purchase mine? Laurie

This is long enough, I shall stop here. You would like to learn more? Read some posts!

  7. Shoe stores have been co-opted to ruin my life and make me cry. Only Sterling Shoes remains a success for me. There, size ten is actually size ten, though not every style is made in my size, even thogh it is the top of the "standard" range. Internet? Oh how foul and evil, to attempt to order something with credit, and risk having it all go wrong. I fear this option, and I like to walk around in the shoes BEFORE I pay for them. It's the only way to know for sure!

  8. It is winter. Our city by the mountains is back in the cold. They say it will be more spring like for the weekend, and then back to winter next week. The trends? Boots! Boots to the knee! And some good heels, many three inch heels, a lot of blades, not many chunky. For shoes? Blah, I am the grand mistress, the rest all wish they would strut around in shoes with four inch heels. I do see other women in high heels from time to time, but some that I see around the office building may try for three inches one day, and wear something almost flat the next. Consistency is lacking. Laurie

  9. I have not purchased, but I find that I have had a similar experience. I have purchased new shoes, and then not worn them, sometimes for months. After such a time, I return to them, only to find that I enjoy wearing the shoes so much that I feel sorry for not wearing them non stop from the moment I purchased them. It has not happened of late, but then, I have not purchased new shoes in a while.

  10. One of the reasons people like to go on and on about this is because they like to be right. We all know the secret to wearing shoes - get something that fits. We have fetish fantasy on one side, crusading for a better world according to a miniscule minority on the other. Feminism shold be a good thing, but not at the cost of personal expression and opinion. So I think the rumour continues because someone is trying to impose a value set upon us. Feminism wishes us to believe that our bodies are our own. Well then hush about the bunions, I'll wear what I like! It's my body. :smile:Posted towards no one, of course.

  11. All day long is a subjective term. Perhaps we are talking about people who are night owls, and so they wear the seven inchers in the last few hours before sundown, which is all they see of the "day" Maybe they are for real, but I think we need that proof. Everyone start chanting "proof proof proof!" I'd give it a try one day, sure, and then provide an objective report. First, I shuld find some new shoes (as if) and move from four to five. Then to six, then seven, and I'll try the whole day. My history sense is tingling! We shall see if someone can build up to this. Or we can find out just where my pain thershold might be. Who knows!

  12. It is all very interesting. One idea, lose the rating system based on shoe styles. Starting over after creating havoc on the original board? That's a crime, I tells ya! :smile: I am willing to give this a try, but I will miss using the old board as everyone migrates here. I liked the colours over there... Change is good, and usually I support that idea. So I will do that now. Change is especially good when one remembers to apply that to clothing each and every morning!
