This is a great example of how an outfit can make the shoes. Her leggings really draw your eyes down to her awesome heels.

There are few pairs which aren't in style anymore. But I'm sure they'll be back in style as soon as I give them up. If I organize better . . . maybe I could cycle them more often.

Wow, that's a lot of shoes! I wonder if she'll be filling her closet once again, or maybe sticking to what is actually wearable in her life time . . . lol. Either way I'm glad to see a good cause got some benefit. 

You can also check out the Nine West Vlog.

Not my taste, but I do see a beauty in what he's designed. And what I wouldn't give get be able to pick the color of shoe I want. It'd be nice to get something beside black. I've heard of scientists using 3D printing to create layers of skin and other cells. So who knows, perhaps we'll see a custom leather ox blood boots printed at your home 3D printer, just pay for the design.  

Why not go straight to the source?

I'm not sure you can order directly from the Di Marni website. It looks like they do production and send to wholesellers. 

I've never been able to afford Choo-level shoes. But I have noticed a difference in quality between by $250 boots vs my $60 boots. The $250 boots have lasted several years with some minimal maintenance. The $60 boots fell apart after a few years, no cobbler was able to fix them. 

Super cute! I'm glad to hear they are relatively comfortable to walk in. 

It's not a simple answer for me. OTK boots are great when they are the right height and work well for me when I'm looking to fit in. THB are a definite attention grabber. When you're looking for eyes to be on you, THB are the way to go!.

I think I would do the same. I feel that wearing heels gives me more self-esteem and inclines me towards healthier lifestyle options. As I've become more comfortable wearing heels in public, that sense of self-esteem has spread through my life so it's not like I have to wear heels to feel it, I just enjoy the sense of fun and self-expression wearing them. As for clothes shopping, I think that wearing heels makes me more discerning of what items might work for me, but also more likely to buy it when I find it.

I think wearing heels when shopping for clothes is essential. You never know if the cut of your slacks/jeans will fit with your heels. 

I'll be out and about in November. I think I'll try going shoe shopping while I'm out. You are all the greatest support in world!

Update - Just got the Qupid boots in today and they really look pretty good.  They are quite a bit smaller looking then they appear online, but fit me perfectly.  They look like typical men's shoes with jeans, but are smaller than a man's shoe would be and are actually sort of cute.  Definitely not at all obvious that I have a ~3.5" heel on, just looks like I am sort of small footed is the only thing   .  Anyway, I am going to buy another pair right now in dark brown since they are running out of them in my size.

Nice! How do they feel when walking? Driving?

Disappointment

Blue!!!

I'll write a book, it'll help cure the global obesity problem, the fast food/sweets industry will hate me, podiatrists will love me, and we can all wear what we want in peace. 

I bought my wife a pair of these. Now this is a pair of "work" boots!

Nice! It's the heel that transitions from work to evening easily.

I did the same the other night when I bought my new pair of UGG's wedge heel sandals. (See my post on, "Who has bought some new shoes") I was dealing with the owner of the shoe store, an Amer/Asian woman who was a great help and support with my shoe purchase. In fact she called me to stop in to look at the sandals as she knew that I liked wearing heels. She mentioned to me, that she has fitted men with heels on several occasions.

 

Happy Heeling,

It's great when sales people are understanding and try to make you feel comfortable. 

Oh great - the trend in women's wear is "drab and boring" 

We'll have to make up for it by wearing excellent heels ourselves!!

I wonder how heels affect your choice at the grocery? They seem to lay out the candy at the checkout. If I'm wearing heels I'm much more conscious of how I look and would refuse the candy. But in boy shoes I might be more inclined to pick a sweet or two. 

Amazing heels! Yes you should def wear them out on your first day! You want to look your best right?

Bimbo or not, she has cute heels 

I voted no . . . but I would still love to try. Sometimes it's not about being able to walk in heels as long as they are pretty to look at.

I totally hadn't thought of that! Maybe I don't have the body shape to shorten my skinny jeans like that, though perhaps I can use a long-line waterfall cardigan to re-balance my proportions and disguise my thunder-thighs. That could work with leggings too. I really like that it creates a feature of the ankle-straps rather than trying to hide them, and you're right, "chic" is the word. Thanks! (If I succeed I'll have to post a pic of course).

 

 

 

You're right, that's probably why I've always felt more comfortable wearing my t-bar or ankle-strap heels with bootcut trousers (or a knee-length pencil skirt).

When you make a decision, take a pic for us! I'd love to see how you pull it off

Found these on Aldo. Sort of hidden wedges on boots. http://www.aldoshoes.com/us/women/boots/wedge-boots
