I agree with you, there is an underlying aspect, somewhere that draws the eye in a pleasing way and this can translate to different styles. But similarly some that seem similar just don't hit the mark. I guess that's why are wardrobes are full of a variety of styles, not withstanding that sandals in the snow and sub-zero don't strike me as a particularly good idea.

Love the story, sounds like an adrenaline rush.

Now on to the next chapter.

We’re getting some proper winter weather here in the Pennines. About 6” of snow last night, more expected in the next two days then clear and cold, down to -10°C. A long walk today in tall boots but no heels!

Years ago a lady said to me that in snowy conditions she always wore high heels (which I can confirm she seemed to, whenever I saw her), because it gave her extra grip. Presumably the heel working like a steak in the ground.

My latest 'discovery' is these:

Apparently designed by one Chris Donovan and described as 'First collection for Polimoda named Devotion was based on the Jewish Tefillin, the prayer box worn by orthodox Jewish men during prayer, 2013.'   

I make no further comment, other than the obvious 'ouch!'.

Hmm? Well they're not what i'd describe as particularly pleasing to the eye, more confusing. Don't think i'll be adding these to my closet any time soon.

iPhone, figured it out.

So these are So Kate? I never knew there were boots in the So Kate style, these look great.

Happy New Year to all, now i've finally got back in.

There should be an automatic thread that just lists my failed login attempts, it would go on for days 🤣.

I'm with Shyheels, boots till it's moderate to warm, only then we can think about exposing skin.

We really do live in a society now of labels for everything and especially labels about us. Labels for our mental state, labels relating to gender, sexuality, diversity, ethnicity and so on and so on, it only seems right that these 5 listed above should be there too. But when will this category appear on a regular questionnaires?

I WOULD WEAR THOSE IN A HEARTBEAT!!!!!!!!!!

Me too!

Loving the Mary-Janes, i'm still without a pair but I keep looking.

And equally as important, and i'm surprised no one else mentioned it before now - Happy Birthday 🎉

Just happened to notice the date I joined HHPlace, apparently it was 11.5 years ago. Another 18 months and I'll be a teenager.

How long has everyone else been here?

Not normally a great fan of block heels but those are great, happily live with those boots.

Pictures please 

Uploaded to my collection.

On the note of Customs, I recently received a pair of boots from China, the paperwork was "not great" but the value was way over the customs entry level and nobody said a word. Needless to say, all the paperwork has now been recycled and any evidence has gone.

I was so surprised not to get the customs invoice, but not disappointed.

Luckily, didn't need to send them back.

Apart from good story, I cannot applaud you enough on your strength and conviction in being able to be this open and direct. I wish I had this level of convistion too. 👏

It's a no from me for moto, wouldn't rule out cowboy boots, but seasons trends are definitely low on my priority list.

Hit me a few weeks ago that I had expanded my collection too far and many pairs were not getting worn or even saw the light of day. So i've taken to having a purge. I think the deciding point was when I was about 5 - 10 pairs more than the shoe storage could take.

And after another couple of weeks of waiting and another order they finally arrive!!!

They're 6 1/2 inch heel with 3/4 inch platorm, came from an ebay outlet based in the UK but pretty sure made in China.

I conclude that I hate the delivery services. They only have to get it wrong once in a hundred but it's enough to yell and scream about.

An order that I knew had been dispatched seemed to never arrive. After two extra weeks of waiting I checked only to be told by the supplier (after they had checked) that the package could not be delivered and was returned to the supplier. No one told me!

Having to negotiate another purchase now, don't know if/when it might arrive 🤨

Never bought any but seen them and wondered about them many, many times. One day I might decide to take the plunge.

So 2 things, first regarding egg rolls, and I'm sure I could dig through the forum and find out myself but could you narrow down the location? Even just to the State would be a start.

And secondly shouting at the TV or computer, oh yes! Not generally about anything in particular but just often, maybe hurling insults at the stupidity of people on the news,or even just the stupidity of people. Tiktok seems to be the home of stupid and time wasting, not that it's everyone but from what I've seen it's rife.

Oooooooooh! Very long, very high, very nice. Yes please every day of the week. Enough said I think.😁

Was busy working today, got completely side tracked, ended up looking online and through a random journey of clicking links I came across these. Wasn't looking for them or anything like them but suddenly realized that i'd got an email confirming my purchase,  whoops. So I've got a pair of Hella Heels BabyDoll Old Money velvet coming next week. 🙄

I have various pairs at various ages. One of my longer older (and favourite) pair of boots by Kurt Geiger are good quality materials (generally). Unfortunately there are secions of the inner that are not as high quality (cheaper) and it's those which are degrading. So after waering for a couple of hours small bits come off. This doesn't affect the outer leather or appearance so it's more of an annoyance than a major issue. Because of the age though there is little chance I would ever be able to replace them. Should have bought two of everything at the start.

For me, like has been said, if something doesn't fit or rubs, the chances are it's not that they are bad but that i've got the wrong size. I think everything that has been said so far is completely on point.

I would only review something if I had something constructive to say about it, even constructive critisicm but after i'd given it enough time to have a proper judgement.

Agreed, thoroughly approve of this look. Hope it was a fun night.
