I tend to don my 6 inch platform sandles to change light bulbs.

My lightbulbs last way to long..

Today I bought these shoes on the net. Hope to get them in 3 or 4 days.

I would like to see my wife in those...

They do not have access to a computer or email, they do have telefax and cellphone. The Philippines is not really updated...:-) The problem in Asia (and the Philippines) is not that the local lies..but to tell the truth is not anything they focus on. You are white, I cheat you one way or another. That is really a struggle down here...whatever u buy, they look for a way to cheat you. To avoid that, its needed with a local "trusty" that know your product, and to be in the shop to guide them. I`m trying to build up a good relationship with this shop to get the price down, so if you like, I can help u out. :-)

This is the first pair I`ve got made by a shoemaker. Everything else I have bought the last 10 years is bought through net stores and the quality is...well, not always that good, and the fit is not either always that good. The second pair is planned to be simular to the pics, with 0,5 inch plattform and 5,5 inch heels same style as on the pics. I would also like to try to have a pair of 5,5-6 inch, tight high boots made and see how they will turn out, more like fetish type of boots. The sad thing is these boots has a high cost, but very comfortable and durable. And I love the smell...:-)

I`m in contact with a local shoemaker here at my home town at the Philippines, I had them to make me a pair of 4" cuban heels knee hight boots. Made by measurment. I took a picture from internet and they more or less made the boot from the pics. They can make basicly any footwear by pics and fantasy and the products have very high quality with a leather sole. They have different skin types from soft to rough... Nice to smell the real leather. On my boots I plan to have the heel replaced with a slimmer type of heels, these heels have to massive look in my point of view.

825 euro....brrrrrr...

I have seen a movie with girls wearing those style of boots and I got a crush on those boots right away. None of the girls had any problem to walk on those boots. What size did u by? Really looking forward to see some pics..:-)

I found this one on the net.

I just was wondering if anyone know if this is a real picture or if it is manipulated.

i'm not sure what the intended purpose would be, but i think an open channel like that would seriously compromise the strength of the shoe.

I thought the hole would be more or less self explaining..

It was just a thought I had a while back...

What do you think about this type of platforms?

Hahaha, walk like he does as well after he exists the hospital. Oh, and if someone stares just ask them "why so serious?"

And if they still want to be serious...put a handgranat in there mouth....

I believe we came to a good conclusion...heheh

For outdoor use, I would prefer men style of shoes with heels. I think Nine West have many nice shoes and good even in large size...

I went to the movie yesterday to se the new batman. If I paint my face like the jokers face, I bet noone will even think about looking at my shoes...so problem is solved.. :-)

It might be an idèa for the shoe manufactures to give the foot angle instead of the heel hight...

If these shoes were made for men and not women, they would have a better fit and he would do better...:-)

Personally I dont think so much about the heel hight, I more think about the foot angle. So in a size us5, I think 3" is consider as high heel but not in size us10. 5" is extreme high in size us5, but only high in size us10.

Just bought these Nine West heels ( Antonela) size 12. I normally wear a women's 12. I think I could get this shoe in an 11 for a perfect fit. does anyone else know if Nine West shoes run a little large? This shoe would probably fit someone that wears a 13. I'm going to buy another in black size 11. Inserts will give these a better fit. I bought the reddish brown.

Nice shoes. I could wear those....:-)

Just came to think about a thing...there are already spray to be bought to spray your feet so they will not sweat... Where is the air intake to the pump? Through the heel? If so, there will need to be a filter system to clean the air before going into the pump. Lot of shit on the ground...

Will the pump be run by batteries?

What about make a heel that fit on the outside of the existing heel...?

Found this on Wikipedia. High-heeled footwear (often abbreviated as high heels) is footwear which raise the heel of the wearer's foot significantly higher than the toes. When both the heel and the toes are raised equal amounts, as in a platform shoe, it is not considered to be a "high-heel". High heels tend to give the illusion of longer and more slender legs. High-heels come in a wide variety of styles, and the heels are found in many different shapes, including stiletto, pump, block, tapered, blade, and wedge. According to high fashion shoe websites like Jimmy Choo and Gucci, a "low heel" is considered less than 6 centimeters (2.5 inches), while 6 centimeters to 8.5 centimeters (3.5 inches) heels are considered "mid heels," and anything over 8.5 centimeters is considered a "high heel"[citation needed]. So anything above 8,5 cm will do...:-)

If it is accepted for a gays to wear heels...just act gay and let people beleave what they want... Then again, that might course other problems...:-)

There are many video`s how females shall walk in heels to have the correct body movement etc. And to see a woman that can really walk in heels, is quite a view. If I see a man walking in heels the same way, I would guess I would think he might be a gay. Not that there is anything wrong with that, but I feel it will be very wrong for me. So what about men in heels? How shall we walk and how do you walk?

mate.... i should tell my wife that i'll do lots more housework if she let me do them in my heels

I had the same thing i mind..

Well done, Johnie :-)

My wife read through your replay and will join the forum..:-)
