    I saw the picture when it was first posted. While there was no nudity or excessive exposure, the content, to me, seemed somewhat inappropriate for HHP. I considered reporting it but didn't. Seems the OP removed it himself. I don't know if Tech was involved.

    Might as well close this thread then cause the rest of us now no longer have a clue what the talk is all about.

    We are all mesmerized by her!

    Her and pata back in the day are the reason I ever bought a pair of ballet heels! To this day I still love them and am mesmerized by anyone walking in them.

    There was also that Australian woman, who for some strange reason was in a vendetta with Pantera. But she seemed to score rather highly on the crazy scale. Pantera kept a more low profile in that regard. So sad to hear of her passing. Nobody should die that young. Oddly enough I came upon literally dozens of her movies on one of the pornhub sites.

    Alexandra Potter is very skilled in walking in them I really admire it. My ultimate dream challenge is to be locked in knee high ballet boots and have to stay in them till I can walk them. So far I have managed to wear and walk in 6 inch heels but want to go higher.

    I reckon that Alexandra, like that other other ballet heel model Markissa, is ballet trained. Methinks that if you learned how to walk en pointe ballet heels should be within your reach. So maybe that should be your goal to aim for? Become a ballet dancer, get ballet heels for free.

    Come to Europe if You want to see ladies wearing high heels (that means 4" or higher). In some countries they are still worn by many women. I like that!

    Tell those places, because I live in Europe and I am like a man in a desert dying of thirst in the heels department. It's only only ONLY flats as far as I can see.

    I agree with your sentiments 100% Chorlini. It is rare to see stilettos out and about these days, especially for daily wear. I am the odd ball out in that I wear 5 inch stilettos daily and have since I was 13! I have been detailing my heel wearing in the stories I'm posting under Stories with a High Heel Theme. I have to get back to writing! 

    Yes, 4 inch heels get up in the slutty, bedroom territory these days. It wasn't always so back in the 1980's when I came of age to wear heels. I still love the look and feel of my stilettos and yes, I do get stares, double-takes, and even comments about my shoes. I am used to it. Most of them are complimentary comments but occasionally I'll get some rude comments. I wear them for me (and my husband too as he loves them) and have no intention on giving them up no matter the consequences. They are my signature with my style. Maybe someday stilettos will come back into fashion, perhaps not for everyday wear like myself, but at least on occasion even if it means carrying a pair of emergency flats for most women! 

    You are a national treasure, HeelsWearer, no, an international treasure!

    Have to agree on that point. I see many come into my work with heels in the 2-3 inch mark, mostly boot variety at the moment. We have regulars that often wear 105mm+ heels as a normal, most are in the 75mm to 95mm range.
     

    Heels are on their way back at the moment, folk are “dressing up” to go food shopping as it’s the only thing we can do right now. Once we start to emerge, once all the shops open and most importantly restaurants I’ve had regular customers and say they are already buying nice things to go and meet family/friends and for the office. I am confident in my prediction that women will want to get those heels out. When live entertainment and nightlife industry comes back, the party heels are coming out. I’ll also add, women may not be the only ones enjoying heels coming out of this pandemic, that isn’t a prediction though as I like some other men might have to decided to join women and the fun in heels.

    Ive seen YouTube videos, and heard it from colleagues and customers say that on a Friday or Saturday they and their family are now dressing up as if they are going out, getting a Just Eat or Deliveroo with some nice food and drink followed up with them having a movie night. Folk are tired of joggers/leggings and comfortable clothes now. Folk are seeing the enjoyment of looking fancy and feeling fancy. On such nights, the girls are going full hog with hair, makeup and heels.

    Europe may be a little more insular, as we have the style capitals of London, Paris, Rome and Berlin in a tight area, and influence thereof will trickle down.

    People are tired of being locked down, stay at home and shelter in place. Folk will want to look great as much as they can. It starts in the office, this is where you make your money, so they will just have to get those heels on for work.

    Again, where do you live? Cause its zero heels where I live.

    My objection to these photos has nothing to do with the outfit(s). Do you have any idea how ridiculous this looks to an actual musician?

    I'm a musician and I'm fine with it. As long as they hold the instrument in a way that tells me they actually know how to play it. With guitars you can always tell when they don't know. Not a classical musician though so the way she holds it looks decent to me.

  5. I just don't see it happen. Too many young women who grow up never wearing heels but who think wearing clunky army boots, or as my brother calls them, clown shoes, with short skirts or tight leggings is perfectly acceptable. Heels have been fighting a losing battle for decades, and the occasional uptrend by some fashionistas does not stop or the downwards trend. When I grew up in the 80's heels were plentiful in high schools. Those girls grew up with them and learned to walk in them and love them. Now I don't think there are ANY high heels in high schools. If you never learn to walk in them you will never appreciate them, and they become shoes to sit in for special occasions. And even that is becoming rare, because sneakers and army boots have become the norm even for special occasions. I've been on dozens of dates with women over the years, not ONCE did one show up wearing heels. And they can say sales of heels are up 25% but 25% of not much is still not much, just like a discount of 25% on a lot is still a lot.

     

    I remain firmly of the belief that heels are going the way of the corset. Once a clothing item almost every woman wore, now just relegated to the realm of fetishists. And occasionally some fashionista will pick them and they see a doubling or tripling in sales, but double or triple of very little is still very little. On the plus side that might mean that sales of heels to men and women might end up being equal.

    While I am disinclined to be so melodramatic about it, this particular article does seems to unjustifiably intertwine mere fashion with basic identity, which is obviously a false premise, as most of us on this site can attest.  I don't hate the term Toxic Masculinity, but I don't particularly like it either, and more importantly, what has it got to do with fashion trends? You know the term I like? It's called, "Don't be a Jackwagon." If more people followed this mantra, we'd have a lot fewer problems in this world. That goes for women, too.

    Sadly everything is political to these people and a platform to be used. And they will take over any community they come across and which they think will offer them a platform. They did it to the effin' online knitting community. Knitting!

    You know I actually had to google that term jackwagon. I learned something new today. I reckon that me being melodramatic might make me a jackwagon, but if these weirdos come for this community the don't be a jackwagon mantra won't stop them from taking it over and getting rid of any of us they deem 'problematic'.

    We may be on the edge of a more androgynous future for clothing. I for one am looking at feminising my wardrobe a little in certain areas. Might not be a massive amount, just certain prices if I can loose a few more pounds in weight.


    Discuss.

    This is political driven stuff. This has nothing to do with what we always wanted, to freely express ourselves, but part of a concerted campaign to destroy everything masculine.

    I don't know how old you are @Chorlini, but the older you get the more 'traditional' the women become.  They want to pride themselves on 'thinking outside the box' and 'open mindedness' UNTIL it comes to their personal dating. It the biggest conundrum I face in dating while in heels.

    I consider myself an old fart, which is why I have less and less patience for such things. I took the red pill ten years ago and left my anger behind a long time ago. Things are the way they are. I will not hate people for doing what their own feelings/nature tells them to do. Water takes the shape of the container its in and modern Western society basically holds women to few if any standards. We even got slutwalks and 'body positivity'. When society holds you to no standards and tells you you deserve the best, even at an old age when realistically you should accept you have less choices, women will do what they feel is okay for them. If the situation were to be reversed I am sure men would do the same too. All anyone of us (m/f) can do is chose not to play that game. You want the 666 dudes at age 40+? Okay, then we'll just mosey on over there and do our own thing. And to be frank, that's more then a lot of married men are able to do. My best friend is married and his free time seems to consist of doing chores and keeping his wife in a good mood, which seems to determine the mood of the entire family. They all walk on eggshells around her these days.

    Interesting how many (most?) women expect men to fit into fairly conservative role model, be that clothing, footwear or being the protector and provider for the family.

    Nothing new here. Just check any panel of women talking about dating and they are all going 'oh, I'm a feminist, I'm an independent strong woman, but..... (and any sentence that gets followed with by a but can be discarded) when it comes to dating I'm traditional'. I wanna 666, 6 foot tall, 6 inch **** and a 6 figure income.

    Yes, women often complain (fairly) about being expected to conform to a sexist stereotype but men are just as pigeonholed 

    Western women are the most privileged people on this planet, save the oligarchy that rules us, and they STILL complain that they are being victims.

    For the most part, pants/jeans tucked into boots is a relatively recent fashion trend.  It wasn't all that common through the 70's and 80's.  Pants as a rule were not all that tight fitting through the lower leg either, so tucking into boots would have been more challenging.  @HeelsWearerwas just reflecting the style of the time.

    I dunno. I seem to remember lots of girls in high school in the 80's with their jeans tucked into their boots. It might be my memory distorting things, but I was paying attention to their footwear back then. Especially the ones I was crushing on.

    I don't carry a ruler, though I can't say I've never thought about it.  At least for size 11, I do believe these were 4.5" easy.

    A little research online shows that these are also available in black.  While better than white, it is still a style that, while I really like them, I would not feel comfortable wearing in public.  Add the heel being a bit high for me and they are, unfortunately, as no go for me.  Too bad, as they fit my foot well!  Most often a size 11 with narrow straps such as these would cut my toes pretty badly.  These did not.  They had enough width for my cloddy foot.

    Sounds perfect for me then. 4.5" is the lowest I will go in heels.

    You would think that with Catherine Bach playing Daisy Duke on "The Dukes of Hazzard," an extremely popular, if silly, television show in the U.S. which aired in the 1980s, that shorts and heels would have caught on. Daisy was portrayed as a wholesome, innocent girl, she just happened to wear shorts with high heels in most episodes. Despite this, I never saw anyone wear shorts and heels as a serious outfit under normal conditions until the late 1990s, and I don't think I saw it again until another 10 years went by, first in the Asian community, and then more generally, until about 2010, when it was a common sight suddenly, especially at bars and clubs. Nowadays, I think I'm the only one left. Haven't seen it in a good long while. Maybe some low wedges, but certainly nothing like what you describe wearing.

    I wonder if Catherine Bach's shorts were brought about because she had to do some asskicking now and then, in which case a mini skirt is probably  not the most censor friendly attire, considering that network censors were checking these shows. Wouldn't want any accidental panties shot, now could we? So they stuck her in shorts instead. Which might explain why it never really caught on.

    Also LOVED that show as a kid. And I never even noticed Catherine Back that much. Must have been before I hit puberty or something.

    I can’t argue with you on that point! I’m not sure if it was pigheaded determination or pure stupidity! LOL

    I don't know you well enough to comment on that. Like too but I'm not having any expectations in that regard. But I do get some serious determination vibe from your story, Maybe stupidity too, but that line is always kinda blurry. Is a child guitarist of age 11 who can shred like Steve Vai an example of fine determination to have reached that skill level at that age or stupid of not having done all the normal things that kids of that age do?

    Love those wild thing heels though with the metal tip and heels. They were such a fun staple of the 80's and I get the impression there are a lot of people who would love to have a pair like that again, if only to relive their youth.

    Nice story, well told, with pace and a good eye for the telling detail. And I say that as a magazine writer who’s made a living at this game for quite a while. 

    I’m impressed by your dedication - and also by your mother’s benevolent tolerance. It’s really quite a sweet story.

    The girls who were nasty - well, they were probably envious but whatever their issue they were nasty people and unless they underwent some kind of sea change probably went on to lead unhappy resentful lives.

    Thank you for taking the time to write these pieces. I hope you are keeping copies for yourself. They are worth keeping.

    I reckon the nasty girls hated her because she raised the bar to be the queen of the roost to levels they weren't willing to follow.

    Chorlini : OK, So who rejected you ? If it was Pernilla, That would be tough to take . Love her style and high heel shoes .   Mike

    Is there even a man out there who hasn't been rejected? It's part of being a man. Unless you're Henry Cavill and got money like Jeff Bezos women won't ask you out, you have to ask them out. So you will get rejected. And the more it happens, it either saps your will to live or makes you stronger as it toughens you. I advise the latter. And yes, Pernilla would be bad, cause unlike with most women there aren't a whole lot like her..

    I dunno buddy, seems like a pretty rude thing to say right in front of your wife...Especially if she stills looks as good as she did in high school...Seems like she was going out of her way to cause trouble.  Yeah, she realizes now that you would have been "a good catch"...But, who knows who she had her eyes on in school...I'm not faulting her, just saying she may have been somewhat in denial about her behavior in school.   I surely understand how you feel about "what might have been", but perhaps you may have dodged a bullet....

    This reminds me of a Chris Rock gag, he once said when a man sees his best friend's wife and is impressed by her he thinks man, I should find a woman like hers. When a woman sees her best friend's husband and is impressed by him, she thinks I gotta get him. 😁

    Ads pay for the site.  Put up with them.

    They may pay the bills, but tolerance or loyalty only goes so far. They got to be more subdued or people will start adblocking the shit out of them. Surfing the internet without adblockers feels like banging a cheap Bangkok whore without a condom. Except without the fun banging but with extra viruses.

  17. 1) How often do you wear high heels? Almost daily.

    2) What type of heel do you prefer? Stiletto only.

    3) How high is your average daily heel height? 5” to 5.5”single sole only, anything lower feels like flats, anything higher becomes hard

    4) Do you find high heels uncomfortable? Depends on the shoe. 5”can be quite comfy.

    5) Do you find high heels difficult to walk in? Anything over 5.5” becomes awkward to walk in

    6) Did you know high heels can be bad for your legs, feet and back? Everything taken to excess can be bad. I reckon sitting behind a desk all day staring at a computer screen is much worse for us then wearing heels.

    7) Do you have any ill effects from wearing high heels? Once.  

    8) If yes, what areas cause you problems?  Ended up having excruciating pain on upper side of my left foot for days after taking my heels off. I reckon some nerve may have been pinched.

    9) Do you find it difficult or uncomfortable to wear low-heels, flats or go barefoot? No, because I don’t wear heels in daily life, only at home to relax.

    10) How old were you when you started wearing high heels regularly? I reckon 19 or 20 when I finally managed to find a pair that actually fit.

    11) Do you get comments (positive or negative) on your high heels? Nope, they’re my dirty little secret, at home only.

    12) How often do you get comments? Nope

    13) How many years have you been wearing high heels regularly? Since 1990

    14) Do you ever consider giving up wearing high heels? I don’t know.

    15) What is/are the reason you wear high heels? It’s part sexual fetish, part relaxing as I enjoy the feeling of wearing and walking in heels

    16) Would you consider giving up high heels if they became too painful? Yes. My health is more important then a fetish.

    17) Do you ever slip your heels off under your desk or when sitting to relieve pressure? No.

    18) Have you ever fallen due to wearing high heels? Maybe, can’t remember.

    19) If you have fallen due to wearing high heels, how often has it happened?

    20) Do you plan on giving up high heels regularly as you get past 60 years old? They will be with me as long as I can wear them.

    Ernest WAS the shop to go in Paris for high heels lovers. Customers were high heels passionate,strippers and men! 

    Since the company has been sold ,the new owner made in short men are not well anymore. 

    I got my first extremes heels from there 15 years ago. Perfect quality. Nowadays no large size anymore and not so many real high  heels. 

     

    So does that mean the business has declined? Considering how much high heels are being offered in large sizes online, even if it is from only a relatively few sources, cutting yourself off that market must have financial repercussions. Not to mention that in the Western world people get taller and bigger. Including women. Which means you discriminate against those women as well by not offering anything in large sizes. Which is a thing I can't help but notice that retail in general is slow to realize that people are changing in that regard. Still mostly shoes only going up to size EU41 for the main part, EU42 if you're lucky.
