@jeremy1986 I am quite proud, especially of the ones my wife bought, which is why I still have those booties.  I can't wear them as they are far too small.  I've tried a couple of times now.  Maybe if they were real leather they might stretch a bit, but oh well.  Whats crazy is I can already think of at 8 or 9 more pairs of boots that I USED to own that are gone now for one reason or another.

I tend to buy pairs that look fun to wear.  For me, it's not so much about style as it is about how it feels.  Like what happens with my foot, my leg, etc.  The PVC boots are fun to wear because they are restrictive a bit.  Your knee cant flex quite the same, or in the case of the red Daggers, your ankle becomes very stiff.  But that's why I have such a variety.  I still have quite a few styles on my want list.  Like a nice soft pair of slouchy cowboy boots, a pair of ballet boots, and a pair of leather chap boots (think 1990's Ellie Shoes Angie model)

But, thank you everyone for all the kind words.  I wasn't trying to show off, more trying to share my enjoyment with anyone who might have been interested.  I was originally trying to wear each pair of boots for the pictures, but my setup just wasnt cooperating.

Thank you Paula.  Yes they do have a half rear zip.  It's quite classy looking because it's gold rather than silver or plastic.

Oh, Im not worried about wearing my flat boots.  It was more the theme of this whole forum is high heels, so they dont quite fit into that theme so to speak.  I guess the only pair of true flats are the Payless pair.  The Madden Girl's have a very short wedge type heel (and are SUPER loud when walking)

I try to keep it diversified.  I will need to find a good replacement for the JS Yana's as I wont have a tan knee high boot, and I still dont have any black knee high boots yet.

So I figured since I had a day off and I havent actually photographed all my boots in quite a while, I figured I'd share with the class.  Dont mind the cardboard showing in some of them, it's a pair of cardbaord wrapped foam inserts that came in a pair of Nine West boots and are perfect for making the boots stand up on their own.

In order of appearance...

Nine West Fairvinda in dark brown.  By far one of my favorite pairs of boots, soooo comfortable with their 3.5" heel

Pleaser Vanity 2013 in White Leather.  My 2nd favorite pair of boots.  Also quite comfortable despite a 4" heel

Unknown Brand, bought on Amazon for less than $30.  Hard to see in a picture, but they almost have a shimmer to them.  Super soft almost like microfiber.

Pleaser Legend 8899.  Another go to pair for me.  5" heels on these and still easy to wear.

Jennifer Lopez ankle boots.  Wife surprised me with these after a clearance sale at Kohls.  They are a size too small and dont really fit.  Clearance + open box = no returns... oh well.

Pleaser Vanity 2013 in Red Leather... same as above, however, the leather on these is much stiffer.  Not as pleased with these.

G by Guess - Drea.  I like the style of these with the faux zipper on the outside.  The heels have some flex though and make an annoying scrape/pop noise with every step.  Makes them sound cheap.

Madden Girl Zilch... sorry they arent really high heels, but they are still nice to wear and part of the collection at hand.  Absolute nightmare to take off and put on though, needs some zippers.

Another flat pair... last ones I promise.  Wife surprised me with these too from Payless.  Nice comfy boots to lounge around in.  Saw a woman at the grocery store in the same pair but in brown, couldnt help but stare.

Pleaser Seduce 3010.  Classic black PVC with a 5" heel.. what else to say?

Pleaser Dagger... 6.5" heel is difficult to walk in, but add in they are two sizes too big and they are nearly impossible!  They are for sale to anyone who wants them.

And last but not least... Pleaser Medic.  These dont quite fit right in the foot area, which was a big disappointment.  Over the top of the foot is really tight, even with the laces loose.

And the storage area... nice to have enough rack space to hang up the boots.

Thanks for the link Jeremy!  The do ship to the US (for free even!) but unfortunately they dont have my size available.  I also have some other things I need to buy before I get another pair of boots.  But they are certainly in the back of my mind right now.  I'll tuck them away for later when I do have the spare change to buy them.

I need to get a pair of boots like that someday!  I dont have nearly enough suede boots.

Amanda, first off, Im sorry to hear that your love of heels caused such pain in your life.  I would like to say however, I think the OP's idea of being forced to wear heels isn't quite as extreme as it sounds.  I also have that same fantasy and was fortunate enough to have my wife help make it a reality one weekend.  See, the fantasy isn't long term or anything like that, it's more a bondage and submission type of thing.  For some of us with a heel fetish (especially with men) once "fun time" is over, we automatically want to go back to our normal vanilla attire.  This is where being forced to continue to wear them is more fun.  My wife had me wear my leather thigh high boots from Friday evening all the way up until Sunday evening while she spent a weekend out with her girlfriends.  They were locked on and she kept the key with her.  It was pure torture and pure bliss at the same time, especially sleeping as I usually need to keep my feet cool to sleep well and needless to say, my feet werent exactly cold.  it was just a constant reminder of my predicament and the dreams I had when I did fall asleep were wonderful.

It's easy for me to see your side of this, saying why on earth would you want to be like that especially since you are already in that type of scenario, but for me, I dont want to be in heels 24/7.  It's more about the temporary loss of control.  I had half a dozen different ways to get out of the boots if I needed to, but it would have ruined the fun of it, so I saved those for emergencies only and enjoyed my weekend.

SOLD

Yes they are a 10 US.

I have my Nine West Getta knee boots up for sale.  I have only worn these twice, indoors, for maybe 30 minutes.  I REALLY dislike the way the foot feels, not comfortable for me at all.  Great sales pitch huh?  Pretty much in like new condition.  One scratch on the right foot thats not really noticeable.  I tried to take a picture of it.  They are the man-made version, not real leather.  Make me a decent offer, paypal preferred.

I've decided to sell my red Pleaser Dagger 2020's.  They are just too big for me.  They run large to begin with and I ordered a size up figuring thats normal with ultra high heels, so I usually wear an 11, I ordered 12 and they fit more like 13.  There is a spot on the right side boot where the PVC stretched from my foot not properly fitting into the boot (it slides forward due to them being too large)  I have only worn them maybe 3 times at most.  Make me a decent offer, Paypal preferred.

So I tried them on again yesterday.  I've figured out the issue, but have no idea how to solve it, or if there is a solution.  Basically, Cali, you are right in a way.  They seem too narrow, however, they dont squeeze my foot in the least bit.  The issue seems to be that the foot area is wider than the platform below it.  My foot fills that entire area, and the inside portion of my foot "spills" over the edge of the platform below.  I wore them about 30 minutes with only 2 minutes of actual walking, the rest sitting.  When I took them off, I had bright red lines that were sore on the bottoms of my feet where the edge had dug in.  I really think it's time to put these up for sale to someone who can actually wear them.

I love the classic styling of Pleaser boots.  I have bought a few affordable pairs, but the PU and shiny PVC peels off pretty quickly, admittedly I am tough on them though.  Just wish I could find some Pleaser boots in leather....

All of these are REAL leather.  I know for a fact as I own 3 of the 4 pairs I linked.  And of all my different Pleaser boots, these 3 pairs are literally the most comfortable in my entire collection of boots.

I've wanted a pair of Domina boots for a little while now.  Mostly the 1023 with the locking cuff.  Im also looking to get a pair of Legend 8868 and the Classique.  My collection is as follows...

Vanity 2013 (two pairs, one red and one white) Still want a pair in black too

Seduce 3010

Medic 3028

Dagger 2020

Legend 8899

I have mixed reviews of these overall.  I got the Legends first and the Seduce about a month later.  Im glad those came first and not the Dagger or Medic, otherwise I may have never bought any others.  The Legend and the Seduce fit awesome, super comfortable, well as comfortable as a 5" heel can be.  The Medic is crazy tight over the top of the foot and digs in.  The length of the foot fits fine, the width is good, but up over the top of my foot, Im left with a crease in the skin for hours after wearing them.  The Dagger... well... let's just say those probably should have been sent back.  I figured with a 6" heel, I should go one size up.  That was a mistake!  They run big to start with, so these are far too big on me.  My toes can barely fit down to the flat portion, so a good chunk of my weight is being held by the front of the boot.  Well after my 2nd time wearing them, the PVC stretched and the outer coating started peeling off.

The 2 pairs of Vanity boots are also awesome for long term wear.  The lower 4" heel makes them super comfortable.  I even went a full 24 hour stint in one pair, sleeping in them and all.

Im looking (without luck) for a pair of leather chap boots in size US 11.  Something like this...

They could be 4" or 5" heels, black or white (would even consider red) but would like them to be in VERY good condition as my boots are all nearly brand new, just without boxes.

I'd be willing to trade my pair of Jessica Simpson Yana (tan) or my Pleaser Legend 8899 (black).  Neither have ever left the house, only worn on carpets.  Never any bodily fluids on them.

So, I know sometimes out on the internet, some people give Pleaser a bad rap.  Anyone around that actually likes their products besides myself?  I currently have a decent collection from them and have about 4 or 5 more pairs on my wish list, the newest being the new Classique style that seems to be a direct copy of the Highest Heels Rampage model from a few years ago.

pebblesf - I think your platforms are wood, but I cant find a good enough pic in the brown, this was the closest I could find... and it looks like they are covered in leather.

Kneebooted - I cant say that mine have significant wear, they still look brand new.  I think I have a total of 60 hours in them, 3 hour at a time, mostly sitting at my computer, with some walking around my home on carpet.  Maybe wore them once a week in a rotation with my other boots.  Im sorry to hear about the sole coming off, luckily mine has not started to do that yet.

Cali - Those are really good questions that Im not 100% sure on the answer.  Im pretty positive that the widest part of my foot is not sliding into the narrower section, however, I can not honestly say that my toes are in the same spot as they were when I first got them.  They are pretty steep and the back portion of the heel has quite a slope so you cant really take any weight off the balls of your feet when standing still in them.  All your weight is constantly sliding forward.  I do agree with you and JS being a narrow boot.  We tried to buy a pair of ankle boots for my wife and neither of us could get our foot down into them.  The opening across the vamp was so stinking small there was no way to get them on.

I went back into the closet today and inspected them again.  I havent worn them in over a year and it's really the first time I pulled them out in just as much time.  Visual inspection on the outside looked a little different.  I used to be able to see exactly where the side of my foot had made an impression in the leather, its not there anymore.  I reached down inside to feel where that ridge was that bothered me so much and I had a hard time feeling it.  It's almost like the leather returned to its former state before I wore them so much.  Sometime soon I will have to give them another shot and see if the problem has "corrected" itself or not.  If it hasnt, then maybe it might be time to move on from them and try to find another pair that fits the tan leather, chunky wooden heel, slouchy style.

Ok, so I own a pair of Jessica Simpson boots, model Yana.

The front platform is solid wood and doesnt flex.  It's also got a cup shape where the edges curve upwards on the sides and sort of hug your foot a bit.  They were super comfortable, note I said were.  I've only worn them about a dozen times or so indoors with a decent amount of sitting, but for some reason now my feet, especially my right foot, slide sideways inside the boots and a small part of my foot overlaps that edge of the platform. (circled below)

I walk duck toed with my toes pointed outward rather than straight and I think the leather on the side of the boot has stretched a bit.  There is no visible damage to them and if I sit down and slide my feet around inside the boots, I can get my foot to rest in a position where that isnt happening.  As soon as I start walking again, my foot instantly slides over and the pain starts.  This wasnt a problem when I first bought them.  I tried gel inserts, but they made the whole foot bed feel funny and uncomfortable.  Im really saddened by this as I searched long and hard to find this pair of boots in my size and in this color after they were discontinued.  Hard enough to find boots I really like in US 11, lets make it a very specific color and model combination from a designer that typically stops at 10 on most shoes.

I dont believe it is, maybe by 1/4" or so if at all.  From the outside, you cant see any kind of damage or anything.  Sorry to hijack this thread, maybe this is a better discussion for the repairs section.  Just posted in here because KneeBooted literally has the exact same boots I do.

Yeah both have it, though the right one is worse than the left, and go figure, that foot points outward more too.  If I reach down inside the boot, I can feel right where it's stretched out and where the edge of the bottom platform is.  Judging by the pictures of both, the Anne's platform is nearly the same size as the Yana, so I would imagine they would have the same curve near the inner edges.  I've only worn them about a dozen times or so, all indoors.  After 20 minutes of standing or walking, the pain is almost unbearable and I find myself trying to place little to no pressure on that spot.  Have you ever tried to walk on only the outside part of your foot in platform boots?  Yeah, not easy.... or comfortable. 

Anne was on my short list of must haves right after Yana was discontinued.  I lucked out and found this pair of Yana on Ebay, new with "blemishes" (so minor I couldnt see them)  Alister and Capitani are also on my list of wants.

To both of you with JS boots, I also have a pair of Yanas in tan.  I have a question though, have either of you experienced any kind of shifting in the foot bed, or maybe stretching of the leather over the top of your foot?  I walk kind of duck toed and both of my boots now allow my foot to rub on the edge of the foot bed just between my big toe and my arch.  As you guys know, the foot bed curves up in this area which is super comfortable when it all lines up, but when the side of the boot no longer stops your foot from shifting up and over that edge, it creates a blister rather quickly.  Ive tried inserts, but they just scrunch up, or are too thick, or any other host of issues that inserts normally cause.  Im just saddened that one of my favorite pairs hurts me the most.  I love the weight of them, they are so heavy and have some substance to them.

spikesmike... the Pleaser Legend 8899 is in fact real leather.  It might not be cow leather like most people are used to, but pig leather is still real leather.

Notice they have 3 options.. Black Leather (P), Red Leather (P), and Black Faux Leather.  The P is for Pig not Poly.

Same here with the Legend 8868.  3 Leather options, one Faux Leather.

Again, like I said before, it's not super soft and supple like cow leather can be, but it's still real leather.

One last thing... look at the price difference between the faux leather and the real leather...

If the "real" leather isnt real, then they must be the biggest scam artists... and I must be a complete idiot.  There used to be another site based out of the US that had leather thigh high boots in the same ballpark for pricing, was something like thighhighboots.net or .com or whatever, but it seems to have disappeared.  I always got it confused with the old favorite site thighboots.com

Im not familiar with the Indulge, but I have the Legend 8899.  After a quick search, looks like the Indulge and the Legend share the same type of leather, which is pig.  I will say, it's certainly not soft and supple, but it is real leather (and quite durable).  As far as quality?  So far mine have held up and are quite comfortable.  The stitching all seems really well done.  I also have 2 pairs of the Vanity 2013, which for some reason feel much softer than the Legend.  The only downfall I have had with the Legend's are the footbed inserts came unglued and scrunched up a bit.  I put a bit of Gorilla Super Glue in there and they are have stayed put ever since.  Oh and going back to the leather quality, what you see in the pictures is pretty much what you get.  Its not a super jet black like some other leathers, and there is no shine what so ever.  I treated mine with some mink oil and it did darken them a little bit, but they still look like pig leather with a bit of a matte finish.  I was looking more to soften them rather than make them darker, the darkening was more of a bonus.  I also have the Medic, Dagger 2020, and Seduce 3010 with varying opinions on each in terms of fit and comfort.

Im still hunting the elusive (aka discontinued) Legend 8868 in White and/or Blue.  Or a pair of Ellie's Angie chap boots.

I remembered Kylie Jenner wearing something like this, so I had to go searching, found what I was after plus more...

http://footwearnews.com/2017/fashion/celebrity-style/kendall-jenner-topless-boots-selfie-344906/

They were shiny enough I thought they were high quality leather, nope, satin... and in typical Kylie/Kardashian/Rhianna fashion, EXPENSIVE  They’re currently available for $4,590 on Net-a-porter.com.

I would love to have a pair of the copycats even, as long as they are all leather and have that same shape footbed, god thats sexy.  Too bad all the aliexpress vendors stop at 10, I need US11
