Thanks, Jeremy. Interestingly enough, I said they were going to be a present for my sister. The store clerk didn't suspect a thing.

More likely the clerk did not care! 

Don't bother to make excuses, just buy them and offer no explanation. The clerks either don't care, or they know and don't care. 

Brand, style??

I had a run in with Tech long ago. I just about left over the deal too. 

This site could use better moderation. I will leave it at that!

I have used these before, worked great.

I generally go for leather too. If you watch eBay and Amazon there are deals to be found, but it takes time. I am wearing a nice pair of all leather Vince Camuto heels I got from Amazon for $35. Luckily I am a  USA size 10.

I noticed the lack of tall heels a year or more ago. A couple years ago you could buy 6" heels in every store, now 3" is the top. I love rediculous heels so it is sad time for me.

I would try hydrogen peroxide first.

I don't know where your finding your western boots, but the ones I see are pretty damned flat. Just landed a deal on some new Ariat women's boots for $44 but the men's boots  - - - you couldn't straddle an electric cord.

Take a look at Zappos, many men's western boots with roughly a two inch heel.

Well gentlemen - -Yes, they may not be considered the high heel of the day, but as of late, I haven't seen anything at a local store that high on the men's side of the aisle.

If they are comfortable, and you like them, then it's all good.

I have found that most local stores are pretty limited, mostly hikers and dress shoes. Take a look on DSW.com on the men's side and you will find plenty Chelsea bots with as high or higher heels as the OP's boot. I believe he is getting a bit of grief because of the title of the post suggests that the boots have high heels. Around here we see rancher and farmer type guys wearing western boots that are much higher.

Contest or not this is HHPlace and those aren't. 

I was wondering if the OP was just messing with us! His boots looked like they came out of  the men's side of the store. I would not expect him to start out in a pair of six inch platforms, but give it a couple inches or more.

Thanks!

How accurate is thier sizing?

@Pierre and others who made similar comments - we're not all in the same boat as you folks. some of us might be at different "stops" along the journey. I don't think that's a reason to show disrespect, and I don't think that's what this forum is about. 

And thanks to those who gave encouraging comments

 

Sure, but these look like "normal" boots that any guy would wear, virtually no heel. You can buy men's western boots with heels two times the height. Look in any shoe store and you can find men's boots that look just like those posted.

It makes me crazy!!

What brand, style are they?! And where did you get them?

Yep, nothing to be concerned about wearing those boots.

We swap tools and help each other all the time so no idea why he was reluctant to borrow the generator. He has keys to my house and shop and watches the place if we are gone. I really think he was so focused on getting his boat's bilge pump working that he just was not thinking.

During a heavy summer thunderstorm the power went out. My neighbor came running over looking for some pipe fittings. I asked him what he was trying to do and he said he was trying to get his boat's bilge pump plumbed in to use as a sump pump to keep water out of his basement. They had been carrying water out in buckets! I took him out to the garage, handed him a heavy extension cord and to plug in his sump pump and told him I would be over in a minute with my generator. He hesitated and said he didn't want to borrow my generator. I told him he didn't have a choice and stop arguing! I filled up the fuel tank, started it up in the shop, out of the rain, then rolled it over to his house, got him plugged in and told him he could bring it back the next day. It struck me funny that he didn't want to borrow it, but it was close to flooding the lower level of his home.

Pleaser Indulge 3011 are leather.

I can understand why some people would have issue with thigh high boots in  school. I also feel it got out of hand. She could have been told the boots were inappropriate and not wear them again. No reason to make a big fuss over it, but you are working in an environment with a wide range of people, best to dress a bit  on the conservative side. I wonder if the school had a dress code for teachers?

Many people are extremely conservative and think thigh high boots are warn only by hookers and strippers. My wife owns a couple pair and rarely wears them as she feels they are a bit much for some nights out, depending on where we go.

Sorry but I am changing my mind for now. Great boots, but I want something in leather and right now I can't buy both. 

What are they??

nevermind, not interested.

I would take them for $80 if the deal falls through. I am in the USA.

Yes, I agree with the other's. Give it up, she has moved on already and any contact you initiate just makes her angry and drags you down. I know it is tough to do, but just walk away and try forget her and move on. 

Your life will be better the sooner you acknowledge that it is over. I would not even bother sharing beers with her dad, split all ties and move on.

pebblesf: Don't hold your breath looking for real leather boots from pleaser.

Pumped: You may want to look at  Onlymaker   <--(spelling) for a fare price on boots.

I looked at Only Maker and did not find what I am looking for. The style in the pic you posted seems to be discontinued. The Pleasers  I am looking at are leather, they have just a couple styles that are.

It might be my imagination, but it seems to me that high heels have tamed down as far as appearance and heel height in the last yer or two. I find it harder to find the 6" heels in either boots of pumps that seemed to be available all over a year or so.

Thanks for the review, I might give them a try unless someone else comes up with another option. I guess for the price they are hared to beat.
