I’m hoping the heater will be sorted this weekend. It’s not so much the temperature but the bone chilling dampness that is do unpleasant. England gets a damp cold and doubly so when you’re on the water!
I see heels quite frequently in Leeds and York. In York it tends to be more chunky heels because there are so many cobbled streets, although I have seen some intrepid souls gliding along in stilettos as though they hadn’t a care in the world. There is certainly a north south divide in the UK as regards heel wearing. It’s much more common in the north
I’m so envious of your skill level when 12cm boots are the easy ones to retreat to when you can’t find 13cm boots. They’re still quite a challenge for me. I’m getting a load of wood this weekend so I can heat the boat and go back to practicing in my 12cm boots on my boat!
Wow! Congratulations! It must have been fun to be going out to dinner in them and having it feel relatively easy! That’s brilliant progress.
i am hoping to be getting back into my 12cm boots later this week - and in a warmer boat!
I’m still very much in the world of heavy suede OTK boots with 8cm heels - I’m hoping to get my heating sorted in the next week or so and can get back to practicing in my stilettos. I just hope that in the interim I’ve not lost whatever modest gains I’ve made …
Speaking for myself, I find that walking around for a few minutes in my 10cm heels is a good warm up for wearing my 12cm ones - although if I do I have a way of becoming distracted and forgetting to change boots.
It’s interesting. It would be fun to know what their perception of heels is, especially stilettos. As you say, it’s not something you can sidle up and ask without looking like a creep. But from a sociological and cultural viewpoint, it would be an interesting question.
Sometimes when I’m wearing my 12cm boots I think of your Hot Chicks and try to imagine that extra centimetre of elevation. It would certainly defeat me
They certainly look steeper than my 12cm heels - quite a bit steeper in fact. You’ve probably got something as steep as @higherheels Hot Chicks but with absolutely none of the chic or the cachet
Sounds like a sensible move. I’m still keeping to my warmer heavy suede OTK boots with the 8cm heels until I can get the heating sorted on the boat! I’m reluctant to start burning coal and dealing with the sooty mess it entails and my central heating system is not working. So lower block heels it is for the time being
Yes, I think you’ve found yet another practical use for high heels! As “back row” shoes in the choir! And nice to be finding acceptance and receiving compliments
