Hey, you're getting me worried here, I hope not all shoes from Fuss are like that...

Does that mean you like them or hate them?

take a guess...

hmm, I think they look kind of tacky and cheap.

Generally, heel consistency between scenes in the movies is pretty bad. Take Bladerunner and Batman returns for example.

Try it on a hard surface.

you have good taste Vicki...

sorry, but I think the shape looks a bit distorted in that size. I'm still planning to buy a pair for myself though..

whatever, the pictures are really nice. Were you in Stockholm? I think I asked that before but at least I forgot.

Bert

thank you. well, I'm originally from Stockholm, but I live in Eskilstuna right now.

Hi Trolldeg, nice to see another guy who is not afraid showing himself in male mode with a ccordinited outfit including some very nice heeled boots. I don't know how often you wear such outfit in real life

well, the outfit goes with the shoes, so whenever I wear heels... Like Debbie says, it's the total look that counts. And yes, I wear heels as often as I can. Mostly to school.

but I wished I had your age to pull it off because last weekend I noted people don't accept such freestyling anymore from an older guy.

I'm sorry to hear that.

ok, here we go:

yes, I know. I'm a poser...

Those has to be among the ugliest shoes I have ever seen...

Well I've taken a look and if you're still in sweden the the COD is more expnesive then the prepaid - it's a difference of 3eur + 10,41 eur additional fee from the postal service. That means for ordering one pair: 13 eur for prepaid, 26,41eur for COD!

yes, but the thing is, the post office charges around 11 EUR if I want to prepay, so prepay goes up to about 24 EUR. Not so much difference then. I think I'll go for COD.

..now I just have to figure out wich is cheaper, COD or prepay...

Good thing I have a size 39 then.. Joak, did you prepay or did you choose COD?

..in german that is. Anyone done business with them? Adress is http://www.com3.de/heels

I'm considering buying a pair of shoes from them.

Hi Lisa (and other people ...)

The gain of height associated to a given heel's height is allways less than the heel's height.

A basic way to increase the height of the wearer is to add a platform : the gain of height is one inch for every inch of platform's thickness.

The high heeled shoes (w/o platform) are based on the fact that the foot is a very complex articulation. Let's make a simple observation :

observe your bare foot starting from flat on the floor and increasing the height of the heel :

- the front part of the foot is allways flat on the floor

- the rear part of the foot is mobile, rotating around an imaginary vertex at the boundary of the the fixed and mobile parts of the foot.

Let's make another observation : the physical deformation induced by the high heel is entirely located in the foot. There is no deformation in the leg or in the knee. (Yes, I know that this is a 'first order' approximation because people who wear high heels often have to compensate in various ways the influence of high heels)

Hence, the gain of height associated to a given heel's height is the gain of height of the ankle as this articulation is involved in the rotation of the rear part of the foot. This gain of height is of course non linear and the exact solving requires some trigonometry (I can send this model for the one who are interested).

Let's define the 'efficiency' of the heels as the ratio (gain of height / heel's height).

The efficiency of the heels is allways less than 1.

The efficiency of the heels diminishes with higher heels.

Sincerely

Romu

don't you think a 1" heel would make you exactly 1" taller?

generalizing is very dangerous. in this day and age you can't just say "men are like this" and "women are like that", because if you do, I'm not a man, because I don't fit the description. It's all about how you are raised.

It doesn't seem anyone here is open minded about a traditional woman.

I just don't want any part of them.

I'd rather forget the whole discussing I just read. I advise anyone to do the same. Now my 2 cents:

Maybe this thread was started in order to get general approvement from women. In my opinion we men will never get it. Why? Because men are men, and women are women. Although we all are humans, men and women are physically different and therefore 'think' different.

Lion

what du you base that on?

we think different because we are raised different, not because we are physically different.

1. Europe - The final countdown. Some of my parents records, such as ABBA and The Beatles. 2. A lot, as long as it sounds interesting. Wierd rock and electronic music, jazz. Cari Lekebusch, Pan Sonic, Autechre, Aphex Twin, Skeleton Key, Primus, bob hund, Hansson & Karlsson.. all I can think of right now. But loads more. 3. Primus, Skeleton Key, bob hund 4. Beatles. I am the walrus! goo-goo-gajoob!

To quote Death in Terry Pratchetts Discworld: "black goes with anything, it goes with everything sooner or later."

Doc Marten type steel toed boots.

Simple, because the clothing industry wants more money.

The picture compression is horrible and the seams on the intro-picture are obviuosly painted on.
