  1. Sounds like a great result from the meeting! As a boot wearer I never suffer from those problems with boot cut jeans - I can well imagine it would be irritating
  2. I agree with @Bubba136 I think he’s given some very sound advice
  3. As a freelance I have the good fortune to work from home and so can wear what I please. My wife, who does not wear heels, neither approves nor strongly disapproves - she seems to consider it a reasonably excusable foible on my part. I do not wear heels out on assignment, mainly because the remote places I tend to go they'd be utterly inappropriate, if not dangerous, footwear. Also in the past year I've been living off-grid in circumstances where heels would be almost comically inappropriate footwear whether you were man or woman. But when I am put and about I do wear lower heeled knee boots (with sturdy soles) just about everywhere. And when I'm at my desk, in my home office, heels are definitely part of my office dress code!
  4. You're doing fine now. I know I could certainly lift my game - indeed wearing heels has helped with that.
  5. I have issues with my back having had surgery on my L4/L5 vertebrae some years ago- wearing a belt is not helpful. You’d think it might be supportive but it’s not
  6. What an interesting pic! Nice boots. Just the look and style I like to present
  7. I made several trips up there in the course of the assignment/ four or five /about a week or so each time, between February and August. I travelled all over up there from Tromsø to a tiny speck of an island called Røst. It was really interesting
  8. I woukd say it was the colours and overall brightness of your outfit that attracted their notice - the heels were merely the finishing touch. i would not say your shoes were outrageous in the least. And I too would call that shade magenta
  9. Happy Birthday - I hope it is a good one
  10. That’s true as regards sizing. Another good thing about going custom is that size no longer becomes an issue - I have bigger feet than yours and had no problems - but it was expensive. Ghstd one of the good things about the late Shoes of Prey - their sizes went up to a UK11 or 12 Long Tall Sally occasionally have large sizes but very few heels unfortunately
  11. I’m quite a fan of chunky heels of 7cms or so and have several pair. Like you I do not care for statement style and like you I want something nice. I have a very nice pair of chunky heeled ankle boots from Shoes of Prey which, unfortunately went out of business a few years ago. You may find some on eBay though, The others I have - taller boots - are from Jean Gaborit, a custom maker in France, considerably more expensive than high street offerings they are beautifully made and will last for ages and fit beautifully too. They have a wide range of styles and a good selection of low and mid-heel boots. As I say they are custom made so will take a few weeks but are well worth the time and cost if you can afford it. I take the view that I’d rather have one really nice pair than ten ordinary ones
  12. You certainly got some very good use out of them! Worth keeping them just for the memories
  13. Welcome! You’ll find this is a very congenial place. It’s nice to have a new voice! Norway is such a beautiful place too. I was fortunate enough to spend quite a bit of time there a few years ago on an assignment - I was up in Lofoten. Great weather for wearing boots!
  14. Brilliant to have a paid for house - a huge step towards security and independence
  15. As a freelancer working from home I've always made a point to dress for work - not doesn't have to be fancy or "business attire:" but it must be separate from my lounging around wear; the effort must be made - it reinforces the idea of being at work. I've found that wearing heels has prompted me to lift my game in that regard, more "smart casual" to live up to the stylishness of my heels. A good thing all around.
  16. Sad isn’t it? I like my feminine boots with the zips up the side so I don’t have to tie my laces …
  17. I do not wear T-shirts to be dressy. I wear them because I am doing something that requires freedom of movement. Otherwise I wear proper shirts and then yes, tucked in.
  18. I won’t starve (hopefully!) I’ll just keep writing magazine features until I become too senile to continue, after which I shall set myself up as a political columnist and commentator
  19. As a freelance I never have to worry about pensions - just starvation
  20. I’m not a fan of the tucked in T-shirt. Maybe it’s my particular build or particular style but a tucker in T-shirt just seems wrong
  21. I’ve wondered the same thing. I know that if one wants to join there can be quite a gap in time sometimes between signing up and getting their account activated and that may cut down on converting guests to members, and thus eliciting comments, posts and new threads. Aside from that I don’t know how one gets a larger more active membership. It isn’t as though we are a cantankerous lot, bickering amongst ourselves and putting off newcomers. I’m a member of another forum - non-fashion - but have never posted there because the members there are so incredibly unpleasant, both to each other and any newcomer who posts. I joined as I was seeking information but the idiotically toxic atmosphere put me off completely - and made me realise once again what a pleasant and benign place this is. Whether it is an embarrassment about their interest in heels, or that these guests are looking for something different or the time lag in getting an account activated, it is a real shame that at least some of these guests do not become active participants
  22. Nor my street either. I’m sure there are some very hip places in certain very hip precincts of certain cosmopolitan cities where the echoes of these fashion show extravagances resonate but none of this reaches the masses, where fashion remain strictly within the same narrow boundaries. The people who inhabit this rarified fashion world may go all a-flutter about daring new directions, but they live in their own echo chambera. Much of these outlandish takes on fashion is merely attention getting, grabbing publicity and the hopefully admiring or envious nods of their peers
  23. Yes but doing something just because you can generally doesn’t serve much purpose - those fashion shows are just attention seeking. They’ve been doing this sort of thing for ages and it hasn’t changed the core of men’s fashion one iota
