Turn about is fair play. Make some suggestions for them.

This is a nice look. I agree with Cali though. Stick with the heels minus the skirt for a while at work. Eventually once your coworkers become used to it, don a skirt. I like these boots and as fellow heel at work member go ahead and wear your higher heels if and when you desire. As for myself I'm in 5 inch stilettos most every day. It's been great, but there were initial questions etc.

Fill those empty spaces. I vote thin heel pumps. You seem to be gravitating towards them and always wear them well.

Great fun exchange. I love how she went in thinking she out heeled you only to be disappointed. Hope you feel better soon.

And I'd like to see any pumps you may want to part with.

Yep, very wide shafts. A little non political correctness coming up. These days more than not the ladies have wider calves than us guys.

I've had the same issues with outer materials peeling. Agreed about quality of the materials and the fact that I wear older shoes when not wearing my Chinese spike stilettos. I love my 5 inch stilettos but they do wear out fast. Most of my older better built (structurally) heels are Pleasers and they are well known for surface issues. All that said, I'm still fine with the situation. I'm financially in a good place to keep a steady supply of new not so well made heels coming in.

Pumps and jeans. Great look. Heels allow color matching and a clean look.

Cali may have been asking how many worn out pair you haven't parted with yet. Whether it be due to sentimental values or just hoping they'd somehow cure themselves and keep going. I have several that sort of fall into the 2nd category. Can't get replacements and I seem to deem them to still be presentable.

The ladies can't compete. I'm the only high heel person in mixed company most of the time. I believe the high heel industry has stayed alive by selling collectibles that are stored in closets for the most part.

Don't complicate it too much. I apologize if I am wrong. The food business is your wife's business. My guess is this meeting is for her. If she's really fine with it then so be it.

Ah those tough life decisions. Just be you buddy.

Go ahead, continue overcompensating.

Heel hill, nice. May need to visit.

Superb combination in my opinion. Careful my friend your starting to wear stilettos more frequently. Really like the low open instep cut on these pumps.

I replace the heel tips myself. I purchased about a hundred or so taps a few years back, in bulk they are not expensive. Many of my stilettos have narrow pins, so I chuck them up in my power drill at low rpm the grind down the pin diameter with my dremel to fit whichever heel I'm fixing. I've also often use a steel cap screw on my round metal spike stilettos to great effect.

Thought I would share this post about a very old pair of Pleaser ankle strap pumps that I have finally decided must be put out to pasture. I couldn't say how many miles I've worn these amazingly comfortable 5 inch heels, talking Melroseplant level I'm guessing. I've re-heeled these at least 6 times. Finally blew out the sole and upper part of the vamps this last week. Surprisingly they are still easy to walk in and sturdy but still long past any visual appeal. I think these definitely paid themselves off many times.

T-shirts should 100% be tucked in. Only fat bellys don't. Sorry but it's the truth.

The truly bad part is her not wanting to stand out. It's comformism at its worst. As men wearing heels we stand out in a big way.

Maybe reading these comments helps to jolt some of these onlookers into actual participation. I don't know if images are available to non-members or not. I'm involved in other non-fashion forums that are only allow onlookers to read. One a paper model building site has no ads, sponsored entirely by the model publishing houses, so that may explain why. I enjoy Melrose's nearly daily muse, but admit I'm not good at maintaining a long-term thread like my heels at work was supposed to be. I wear them daily but discussing it seems redundant.

CAT, send Vogue some of your pics from a few years back, they may get the hint. Unlike me and Melrose you have model like attributes.

Careful buddy your approaching my style. Very elegant pumps, and I'll say it, sexy heels.

Yikes

It's a spent thread. She's long gone, no female judge anymore.

Very deep red. Look good.
