  1. Hey All,

    So here is the first new topic from me since i came back.


    Ive been wondering for quite a while how much time in heels is actually spent walking rather than sitting down so crazy as i am i have setup a small challenge/experiment.

    Naturally in order to be as precise as i could i had to organize this whole thing a bit. Logging distance while working, shopping, etc i found to be 
    rather impossible so ive found a route that i will do this on. It's 10km long and more or less flat. Ive purchased new boots just for doing this so they will not be 
    worn for anything else until i dont want to do this anymore.

    These are the boots.

    So the way i will do this is the route 5km and another 5km back, so i will walk on this route as often as i can with no other purpose than this test. 
    Ofc who dosent like to take their heels out for a spin anyway:P
    I have not broken these shoes in either this will be done during the test so the distance in the beginning prob wont be too long but should improve over time. I will walk for as long 
    as i can in these and then change to my reserve boots which is a pair of 11cm wedges with no platform and also upon changing to reserve i will walk straight back so only when i can make it 
    to that 5km mark in the primary boots will they start getting more distance than the reserve boots. Also no breaks or sitting is allowed.

    All data will be posted in this spreadsheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/10Cb1iOsagHK6AeepSpDdcUIpZI_Ha8xOZh7q9LjAUF0/edit#gid=0 and some will be posted here as well.

    I think on the next walk il try and do video too. My plan is to walk as often as work and life permits but at least once per week until i hit 250km. I have no intention at this point 
    to stop at 250 but to have a goal is important and can always be increased. I didnt want to make it to easy or to hard so i went with boots that has a 13,5 cm heel and no platform.


    So current data is :

    Last 3 walks:

    Primary Boots: 1,1km - Reserve Boots: 1,1km - Total: 2,2km.

    Total Goals:

    Of Primary Goal: 1,1/250km
    Of Total Goal: 2,2/300km

    Let me know what you guys think and also any suggestions are welcome.

  2. Well…. The short answer to that is where my feet take me.

    But to answer your question you wanna be in business area's if you wanna see more heel's around you. The funny part is if you want to not be seen i generally found the more crowded a place is the less people seem to notice, or at least visibly notice i'm in heels. 

    In general it's very clear to me that the world is becoming more open minded. I haven't had a bad reaction from anyone in years and the younger generations are very interested and often ask questions.

  3. Heya Peep's!

    Ive been inactive in here since 2014 i belive it was. Im now back though. Reason i stopped was a combination of many
    things, One major thing being i was getting abit social aggressive towards everyone basicly due to life's events. So 
    i basicly withdrew from more or less all social activities for quite a while. Basicly i ended up more or less completely 
    reinventing my self.

    Ive never stopped loving high heel's though and im still a dayli wearer and still with my supporting girlfriend.

    So im gonna spend some time catching up with things.

  4. No doubt they will be worn on general basis and tried on when she receives it. For her going out without a corset is going out naked which is quite funny since only few years ago she considered them bedroom only. Rockpup corset's are her domain only, they are not for me. I stick with heel's.

  5. The trick is to regard the advertisements as decorative. Some are very well thought out and creative. I'm sure you must be able to remember some iconic adverts. The ones that are irritating or offend you, you just use that ad-filter called ignoring.

    See Megan.

    I have developed a quite big hate towards all kind of advertizing over the years. it's spammed massivly over the internet, And popup's ohh the damn popups.

    And they cant even give me an add in a read able language.

    See this example wich is copy paste from this site. It's Finish and i dont speak that language. Dont have interest in the products in it either.

    But there is a new trend spreading even though i doubt it will ever become a big trend wich is people not purchasing items they have seen on add's. I also doubt that will decrease the amount of add's.

    I dont know what hosting solution they are using for this site and there for dosen't know the price but it cant be that much. I am truly convinced that if tech gives us the option to donate he will get more

    funding that way than add's can ever give him, but that will be up to him.

    And you say the one's that irritate or offend you. Well they all iritate me tbh.

    I know i come off like a huge idiot here but im truly not. My missing skill in English limits the word's i have available and i have 5 other forums i use about the same amount as this one where i have a automatic monthly donating thing setup, I would be happy to do that here aswell.

    Br.

    Sim.

  6. Im gona be honest here,

    I do block add's and i will keep on doing so.

    I run 3 website's for wich none of them has a single add

    on them as it's something i personaly hate to extreme's.

    My 3 websites gave a profit for Q1 of just above

    4000 EURO's, Dunno what thats is in £.

    For me Add's = Virus = Bad = must be gone.

    As some other user's have said. I would be happy to

    Donate to keep this site going. Have looked for the

    options a few times but didnt find it.

    So give me the option to donate and i will do it.

    Not because i feel i have to but because i want to

    help keeping such a usefull site going.

    But i do not wanna do it trough add's.

    Add's are destroying the internet.

    I vote for less add's higher user pay.

  7. Hey Ya'll. I have a pair of 5inch pumps with a 1inch platform that has a metal heel. I would like this replaced and prob with a chunky type heel. What do i need to be aware of before changing the heel if anything? Also i havent found a place yet that i can get a heel from so might end up making it my self. I know i can get this done at a profesional place but for once id like to try and not outsource it. Br. Sim.

  8. This was the last place id expect people to not be open minded. Open minded about shoes yes. Other things no. I can understand german thats no problem. I know most of the northern european languages so that part was never the issue here. I must admit that i find the fact the people started writing german in this post quite condescending considering the subject. But it dosent matter. Il find a place where i can discuss this with people who wont make fun of me for something i find to be a serious issue atleast for me. So thx for nothing.

  9. This is not meant to be insulting or anything but just a general question. Im involved with several types of forums and online games and im starting to see quite alot that you have a topic going fine in english for multiple pages and then all of the sudden someone comes writing in german. Also in games and stuff you talk in english and someone reply's in german. Anyone knows what is up with this because it's starting to get anoying. I dont hate germans or anything but that dosent mean i wanna read their language when i was writting in another. Br, Sim.

  10. Actualy no. From all ive been able to find and also explained in other post on this forum these are not being produced and you cannot buy them. Currently im trying to get them custom made but those places ive contacted has said no due to the complexity.

  11. Hope you get yours. I had to resort to threats to get mine delivered.

    Have several shoes from there. Most ppl just fail to read that it can take uo to 3 months from order to delivery.

    Ive never had any issue's.

  12. Hey. So i had money pilling up or atleast that sounds good so i decided to use some on shoes :D These are the ones im most excited about. Never owned a pair with none pointed toe and no platform. post-2012-0-04680300-1358882527_thumb.jp post-2012-0-35294700-1358882555_thumb.jp These will be my long walk shoe's as i find oxfords the most comfortable for long distance walking. post-2012-0-58327800-1358882548_thumb.jp

  13. Hey peep's.

    For the first time in a very long time ive been wearing flats most of the evening. I normaly dont post outings because im more or less always in heel's now so its just normal now, But il take it from the begining.

    At 3 o'clock in the afternoon me and the girlfriend went downtown because we needed to buy some minor stuff for the apartment. She was wearing a pair of 4 inch round toe suede boots and i was wearing a pair of 4 inch classic black leather pumps.

    First place we went was a small hardware store to get some paint for the railing on the balcony, Shop keeper was a mid aged woman who found it very interesting that we both was wearing heel's.

    After that it was a 20 min walk to Ikea to get some minor stuff. We spend a good 1 and a half hours in there and at one point my left shoe felt kinda weird but at the same we ran into some good friends and was talking with them for a few mins so i forgot about the shoe. Half way back to the car we went into a small sandwich store getting a little snack. From there into a electronics store to get some bulbs.

    When we got the car we put the goods in it and then walked over to a Mexican restaurant to get some dinner. Had quite a fun time there with some good food and also ran into a old coworker i haven't seen in 3 years, Was a lady in there as well with an amazing pair of louboutins :D

    From there we drove the car home as we had to go out with some friends. At home my girlfriend changed into a pair of 6 inch knee high leather boots with a 2 inch hidden platform. I just decided to keep the shoes on i had.

    We then took a cab to a bar where we meet up with our friends. Walked in and found a place to sit where we talked for a few mins, Me and Robert ( One of the friends ) went to the bar to get some drinks and while standing in line i suddenly I just slammed to the ground hitting Robert a bit but nothing bad, Not realizing what had just happened i got back up and noticed the heel on the left shoe had fallen off. Not broken but fallen off intact.

    The heel on these shoes are fastened with 5 nails and 3 of them looked to have been broken for a while cause they seemed to have rust on them, but the last was clearly freshly broken, mostly i have a spare pair of shoes with me in the car also with heel's but as we took a cab i had none. To my luck 400m from the bar is a mall that's open to 9 in the evening, So after putting the drinks on the table me and Robert went there to get another pair of shoes hoping to find some decent heel's sadly they had none in my size :( so i then found a pair of men sneakers as they where quite cheap and there's a great possibility that i would never be wearing them again.

    After getting back to the bar we had drinks and played abit of pool and some darts. Still had a fun evening all though after 5 hours in flats my feet was burning a bit as im not used to be wearing flat shoes for that long a period of time.

    The shoes are currently in for repairs :D

    That's all for today. Happy New years everyone and sorry for my bad gramatics & Spelling.
