The High Heeled Ruminations Of Melrose Plant

Even in blocky 3.5” heels a lumpy towpath can easily cause you to miss for footing or turn an ankle. -
My feet are narrow and long and I’ve always had trouble finding shoes that fit with any precision. Footwear manufacturers just do not seem to believe that anyone has narrow feet - any more than they believe there are any females with feet larger than a UK8

Muddy towpaths wouldn’t do them any favours either -

Yes that would just tire you out walking 20,000 steps - not the same kind of foolishness as heavy lifting, mowing lawns, or working locks on a canal (dangerous) -
I too have never worn metal heel tips nor would I want to for just the reasons mentioned above. Why trash your nice wooden floor or carpet, or somebody else’s? since most of my boots are block heels anyway it’s not an issue I worry much about. And I too dislike kitten heels - they’re neither fish nor fowl as the saying goes. If you’re going to wear stilettos they should be long and thin, like the blade of a dagger - not like the blade of a jackknife.

I do wear OTK boots with heels (and without) and they are a benefit - especially on cold mornings, either inside or standing at the tiller. Stilettos though would not only be silly but dangerous) -
If I'm struck down today my last pair will have been some dark grey suede OTK boots with 3" block heels. Lovely and warm on a cold damp day

Yes, a bold move to be sure. In my world stepping off a boat onto a muddy towpath in stilettos is not something I fancy trying. -
Well I’m wearing a pair of ankle boots at the moment with 3.5” block heels. So if I’m struck by lightning or some such today, those will be the ones.

Nice styling! And good to see them offered as menswear
-
It’s been very wet here - and continues to be so - and I do not wear my suede boots outside for that reason but in my home office where they stay dry and I stay warm! And my feet and calves especially so
-
Chilly and raw in Yorkshire - for me at work it was heavy suede OTK boots with 4” heels
-
Why not? I see noticeably more heels in the north of England that I ever saw in London
-
It was no kilt. It was a skirt. Nobody wears tights with their kilt! 😊

I was travelling around northern England today and for the first time saw a man wearing a skirt. No heel, just tights and low-heeled ankle boots. A grey and black skirt and a leather jacket. This was at Leeds. Quite a modest ensemble and nobody gave him a second glance. Also at Leeds a middle aged woman wearing some bright green stiletto ankle boots with what looked to be 4” heels. Quite striking. Not seen such flamboyant stilettos in quite a while.
