    Love this outfit. It'd be a lot more fun if most (all) rockers dressed as good as you are.

    BTW are those tall Pleasers walkable or just for partying? (real question 'cause I'm thinking on buying some platforms from them for everyday use).

    They are! Very easy to walk in for me, and great to use when you need to reach a high cupboard.

  2. Earlier this week I went for a walk in my 6 inch stiletto heel boots (yes, they did hurt my feet but blame the ground I walked on) and it was happily uneventful. No stares or anything like that. I just walked and aside from having to sit down a few times it was very nice to hear my heels click along.

     I have a video of walking in the boots on ground that didn't bite into the soles of my feet.

  3. I recently got 2 new pairs of heels: leather Pleaser Adore 1020, 7 inch heel platform boots and a pair of Mary Janes from Amazon by a brand called MissHeel.

     

    The platform pleasers are a perfect fit as usual, and I took them out for a concert to swap into on the eve of my birthday, Tuesday November 21. I swapped into them and I got a lot of good looks, especially from a group of ladies who asked me how I mange to walk in such high heels. They were in awe of my ability to not fall over in them.

    After the show, I decided to walk to the train station next to the venue in them. The pathway was a little challenging with a slight incline and a spiral staircase with some wet leaves on them but neither really stopped me to make me swap out into my other shoes. I kept them on and didn't take them off until I got home. I had no munters laughing at me, no slurs and no any rude gestures, maybe because it was a late and weekday night. The only person who said about my shoes was an older man calling me brave for walking in them. I stayed in them, got off the train in them, and I never got a single bad word said. It was great.

     

    The other photos are of the Amazon Mary Janes from MissHeel. I got them on November 22, my 29th birthday 🥳. They're fine on my right foot but the toe box on the left is a little snug but not to the point of them being very uncomfortable. After a while of breaking them in, its no problem. They're very nice to wear and easy to walk in.

    @AlexC94,What was the size conversion on this particular model? I am US 9/UK 7, and I find that EU 40 is generally correct for me, and NOT EU 39, as many charts would suggest. I ran across a guy (don't remember where) who seemed to suggest that in CL, I would be 41, which seems crazy to me, but that's what he said. I'm looking for another perspective.

    @Jkrenzer, I am afraid that leather vs. some other material for the sole is a subject upon which we part ways. I used to be a leather sole man, back when I wore "men's" dress shoes and cowboy boots. I wore through a few soles (and had them replaced), but it took quite a little while. When I switched to so-called women's styles, I figured that leather was better, and it may be, but not for me personally. On women's shoes, those thin little pieces of hide that they call soles not only wear out quickly, but are easily ruined by inclement weather. I will admit that rubber soles are no good for dancing or beauty pageant turns. I'll take that compromise.

    I do most of my walking on concrete, that may make a huge difference.

    These CL boots are UK7.5 EU40.5, and as far as I looked into it it's recommended that you go half a size up so in theory these could be a perfect fit for me 😲

    Great looking but 800 lbs is still way too much.

    Personally I prefer the leather soles and how they wear.

    I have one very old pair, soles are smooth as a babies backside, uppers super worn in. So the rubber soles are unnecessary as the uppers will wear out faster anyway. 

    These better be public wear heels or it's a shame. 

    They're rubber soles on the outside, and I meant to say they have only cost me around £280 rather than £800. I will be taking these shoes out for public walks often, so I'm very excited to have them!

  6. I have had a really awful week mentally however, after waiting patiently for them to come onto my lap, I sprung at the chance to buy a pair of Christian Louboutin Pontipik boots that were only less than a third of what they would regularly sell for at £800 for the RRP. And what's better, they're already rubber soled so I don't need to take them to a cobbler 😊😁😊😁😊😁😊

    AlexC94: OK Alex, so now you're all dressed up - where did you go-and how long did you stay there. You did get dressed up for a public outing - correct?  MIke

    Went to a small(ish) concert for around 3 hours or so. I had a change of shoes with me so I could wear my heels there.
