Not seen the Bianca boots in round toe option before....mine are all standard pointy toe. They do look very nice, and the 5.5" heels will give your ankles a good work out. Tempted by the brown pair myself!

Not had any Leatherworks for many years, although would say very similar. They are manufactured by some of the old Leatherworks team and the style is the same.

Zed, They use a very soft leather sourced from Italy. Never thought about how thick but would estimate probably 2 ounce or 0.8mm thick. Raw leather inside shaft with lined leather collar inside at thigh. Can’t compare thickness/quality against Mori or Italian Heel brands as not familiar, sorry. Tried to show inside on pic

Yes they are. Made in the UK by the old Leatherworks team. Have more than a few pairs of Skyscrapers including some thigh boots and always pleased with the quality.

Thanks guys. If I get any comments while out and about they’re nearly always from the ladies and generally positive, and a good conversation starter. It’s always nice to receive a compliment. Aware of more than a few ‘double takes’ but thankfully most people probably work on the assumption ‘if you haven’t anything nice to say, best say nothing at all’

Thank you Tacchi Alti. A few comments occasionally, usually from the ladies, but people do notice even with the heels mostly covered. Never had any comments about wearing womens pants or jeans, with or without heels.

Hi yoyo, Thanks, they are women’s kick flare trousers from Next (UK)

Thanks heely. For the office I prefer to wear long boot cut or kick flare pants which mostly cover the heel. The rest of the time I prefer to show them off.

Hey Rockpup they look cool. Might check those puppies out. Any heel is better than no heel at all, and my site boots suck.

Whilst not wishing to contradict the girls, as they are the experts, I’m definitely a heel first kind of guy. Rolling from heel to toe just feels right to me, and sounds great.

My thoughts exactly! Trouble is over recent years I have to confess I’ve transgressed over to the ‘dark side’ with a few pairs of oxfords. More worryingly I do rather quite like them, but then again I am now old! Office ‘oxies’ Fun time ‘oxies’ Construction site ‘oxies’

A bit dark here at five o’clock, so here’s my 3 o’clock shadow.

As a fan of retro fully fashioned stockings I tend to favour old school classic suspender belts (UK terminology) or garter belts. Personal preference is an 8 strap model with nice wide straps/metal clasps..... nice and secure and able to keep those seams straight. Purchased a few from here in the past. Plenty of models ranging from 6 to 14 adjustable straps!! https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/110980451235 http://www.nylonz.com/8-strap-plain-suspender-belt-black-27-p.asp
