I also realised this yesterday while I was walking in my sultry boots (5 inch heel and 1 inch platform). When I was in them it was very easy and not any trouble at all.

So in the past 2 and a half weeks it has been very rough for me. I lost my father at the end of February and I've basically been very lost ever since.

However I have been keeping myself occupied with other things including buying these 8 inch heels. I'm more into boots but I finally decided to make the jump to a pair of peeptoe platforms as retail therapy after my dad passed on.

Safe to say I find them very comfortable and easy to walk in. My feet feel fine in them and I haven't had any issues so far.

Is it possible that being not able to wear heels for a week can give one withdrawal? I have been on holiday for almost a week; I miss wearing them and one hand I wish I packed a pair of low key heels but then again I'm in the middle east and well... that could raise some eyebrows but still the effects of not wearing high heels, being stilettos or platforms is real.

Thanks, but I'm still unsure.   Detail on Giaro website for size Eu41 is heel 165mm (6.5") and platform 39mm (1.54"), giving net rise of 125mm (4.96").   Is that what you have; the shoes do look to be about that in their proportions and more walkable than your original dimensions suggested.

Yep that is what I have.

That's because I repeated what you already said, so I removed it. Anyway the shoe size is EU41; you were right about the heel and platform size from the Giaro website.

Brand new pumps from Giaro. They are 7.5 inches high including the platform and walking in them is absolutely no issue whatsoever. I got them from Hot Heels Shop Poland.

I did a video walking in them as well, and you can hear my knees snap 3 minutes in just from kneeling.

I recently got my first pair of Hella Heels; a pair of 8 inch platform boots called ATOMIC. They are so super comfy and when I wear them barefoot my feet don't sweat up like when I wear my Pleaser boots.

I'm in love!

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.

I got these gorgeous Giaro Visionary boots today. Super comfy easy to walk in and an absolute joy to wear.

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.

This is from Thursday just as I started building my Lego Concorde, and as of this post I am 13 hours into the build.

And yes, the quality is creamy shit on a crusty bread roll, but this was an attempt, shall we say.

Happy new year!

I think these belong to Carrie LaChance. I recognise her legs and the floor from her old residence. They look nice, I'll say that.

Recent purchase from MissHeel on Amazon: Mary Janes pumps. A fine fit on my right foot but a wiggle on my left. Toe box on my left is also snug however with wearing thin socks it isn't a problem.

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.

I've only been here for 8 and a half years thanks to me making one in 2015. Jeez those days seem so far from the world we live in now.

Recently got a new jacket, and pairing it with my white pleaser 8 inch platforms makes the outfit 😊

Also forgot to add about these Louboutins

The RRP for these that I didn't pay, was £800. Instead, I paid £285. Essentially, these were a steal.

I got my Christian Louboutin Pointipik boots and they fit me PERFECTLY! They're an absolute dream to walk in, the inner sole is super comfy and they look stunning!

@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!

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 😊😁😊😁😊😁😊

New pleaser flamingo boots. Planning on selling a pair I don't wear often that are like this pair.

Outfit photo from last week. I didn't fall over but 8 inch platform heels and a sloped street do not mix.
