The poll is pretty clear cut isn't it. :-) Admittedly not exactly scientific, but interesting none-the-less!

Like yesterday for example when I saw a local SNP candidate heading for my door clutching a hand full of canvassing literature.

Answering the door in heels could be a bold way of getting rid of canvassing politicians whether they are SNP, Labour or whoever.

I must admit I am enjoying reading all these posts! It seems I am not so unusual after all! I wonder if this leads to another question as a few people have mentioned the same circumstances as me... i.e. my wife doesn't enjoy heels so is there some kind of additional need on my part to wear them since she rarely wears heels of any kind. Who knows... probably a whole other thread, I should stick to topic! Thanks again for all the great posts so far!

To me it's not a competition, just a good thing that we both have some that we like.

It's not really a competition thing for me either... it was more that it happened and I didn't realise initially. I just thought it was kind of funny. :-)

I 'only' have 7 pairs, so it's not like my wardrobe is overflowing. At least I don't think it is, my wife might think differently!

After buying a new pair of heels last weekend it hit me during the week that I now have more pairs than my wife. Granted, she doesn't like wearing heels so it's maybe not as impressive as it sounds! It got me thinking whether that was common amongst the community...

those heels are really cool, love 'em! :-)

Happy Easter to you to thanks!

Hi everyone! I added to my collection of heels yesterday and am pleased as punch with 'em! They are black MJ's with chucky 3.5" heel and are super comfy! The inside of the shoe is soft leather which feels awesome on my feet. :-) Here's a link:

I chose my name as it was an old tag I had and one I thought I could remember. :-) "Alba" is gaelic for Scotland... where I am from. The "2000" was simply an add on to make the tag unique at the time.

very impressive choice of location! Well done on having a successful day out in heels!

Just doing a bit of online 'window' shopping at M&S and noticed a section I'd never seen before in the shoe dept... "larger sizes". It appears M&S now stock a few shoes in 8, 8.5 and 9! Nothing too high, but it's nice to see them offer 9's now. Well done Marks & Spencers!

I was at the cinema for the first time in ages this week and saw "Surrogates", Bruce Willis' latest action film about robots and society in the future. It was pretty good, however there is an excellent action sequence where he is chasing after a female surrogate/robot who is has some fine heels on. I couldn't help but think at the time I haven't seen a more high octane chase sequence with heels before... being a 'robot' obviously helped with the outlandish moves. Anyone else seen this film and enjoyed it too?

Alba, those look great! I love the bow detail. They have several pairs on that web site that I like, but alas, none in size 9, which I would need at a minimum. I take it you can wear less than a 9?

Just noticed you are in the US, that would make nipping into the store slightly tricky! 99% sure there are no Debenhams in the USA, never seen any when I've been visiting in the past. Sorry!

Thanks! Am wearing them just now and love 'em! I take a UK9 for my normal male shoes/trainers... but can get away with UK8's for some makers on heels. I guess socks can make that difference! They feel pretty good on so long as I'm wearing tights.

You might get away with them if you can wear some UK8's. Worth nipping into a Debenhams early when it's quiet and trying em on. That's what I did in Glasgow.

Finally added to my collection (pair number 5)! Had been looking at these for months and managed to get them on sale last weekend.

love the heels! They look brilliant... quite fancy a pair of those for myself!

Welcome! The Scots community continues to grow!

nice and neatly laid out at the bottom of cupboard. Always nice to open the cupboard door and have them 'staring' up at you.

I finally plumped for M&S Autograph collection and am very pleased.

Thanks everyone! Not sure L'eggs are available in the UK, I think I've only seen them on visits to the USA.

Hi! I'm still kind of new to the scene and wondered if anyone had a favourite/preferred brand of tights (pantyhose)? Expensive brands, dept stores own brand, supermarket own brand, etc? Look forward to hearing your thoughts!

Welcome! Good to see another Scots member joining up.

thanks! I kind of guessed leg shaving might be the answer. I have fairly thin legs so the tops of the hold-ups aren't super tight on me and had wondered if that was the problem. Anyway, in the mean time I guess I'll move on to tights (pantyhose). Can't go wrong with those I'd think.

Hi! Hopefully I'm not covering old ground here... but I love my heels and am now trying to get sorted with hold-up stockings to make my heeling more comfortable! Anyway, I am having trouble picking ones that stay up! I am 6ft with 30/32" inch waist. I have tried M&S (large) and Pretty Polly (large). Any suggestions? Thanks!

Have bought a couple of pairs of heels from Brantano. Really pleased with latest pair... black patent leather courts by Emilio Luca X.
