Wow syd. Thats good to hear that your knee wasn't so serious damaged. But still there's a damage to heal though.

I wish a good recovery.

Thank you

Sounds like you need something to hold things in place while it heals. May I suggest:

They look like they would lace up tight enough to do the trick. 

Just kidding. 

Don't do anything dumb until you are well healed then you can well heeled again.  Hang in there six weeks in flats isn't the end of the world (it only seems that way).

Thank you TBG for the thoughts and the laugh

Very happy to hear that the damage isn't as bad as expected at first, and that you don't have to go under the knife.

Take it easy & you'll be back to new in no time.

6 weeks back to playing

THE WORLD GAME !

Hehehe

Well Its update time

MRI came back with ACL intact. Lots of minor damage compared to what we feared. A cracked bone, a tear in cartlidge lots of things strained and stretched  but by doing that the knee was saved. 

My doc said its a 1% chance and good cycling muscles saved it

upshot 6-8 weeks off, no surgery v 6-9 months plus surgery 

very very very relieved !!!!!

Hi, I've bought this beautiful pair of boots from Amanda Gregory on EBay.

They're a bit tight, but I still hope to break them in enough so I can wear them comfortably.

The leather is thick, I have good chances to succeed!

Hey there @Black_Boots

those are seriously great boots. I love the heel and the colour. Look great with the jeans. 

Well done

I have decided that this winter, it will be the season of clogs. I bought two new (to me) pairs on eBay, and it seems both will work out. Both are right at 5" heels, with a 1" platform, which is perfect for me in the comfort range.

The black ones are Coach, model name Rana. The brown suede ones are Gucci, model name unknown, but made in Italy. The Guccis required some work with the shoe stretcher, as they are quite narrow, but they don't seem to pinch me anywhere. They are currently at the cobbler, being reheeled. Well, what do you expect? I only gave 55 bucks for them, but the upper is perfect. They were obviously worn a few times. The Coach clogs I have worn out a few times already, so I know they're good. They were virtually brand new, no visible wear on the bottoms. 

Also, I got some True Religion leather slides for next year. They make a satisfying noise when you walk in them. 

Great purchase 

i really like these ones

Melbourne trip evening 4

wow, been busy. Came up to skybar tonight and the wait staff recognised me as a regular. (I suppise i stand out a tad)

I started chatting with them looking at bar snack menu. Asked about a cheese or messe plate........ then one of them found a leftover antipasto plate from a function. OMG beautiful !!

2 other staff made passing comments of love your heels and those boots are gorgeous, wish i could wear heels like you do

so sitting here with freebie dinner and a beer. NICE !

Enjoy

Well done. Any reactions you got wearing your outfit? +, -

 We both wear similar jean jeggings only I yet to own or wear a nice stilleto bootie like yourself.  

At first glance Iooking at your pictures I chuckled. Then realized I have that type of style myself. Very streamlined finished with some great booties or shoeties..

i don't know about you but when people see me in my jeggings and block heel booties it tends to surprise them. Again can't blame some laughing at me or commenting looking like a girl. Once people see you enough tends to be comfortable to the style. Then they look closer analyze you and some might compliment the way you look. 

Sorry i hadn't replied earler. My bad !

Reactions: a few heads turned but not many. 1 comment from the bar girl who was amazed at my boots and said how much she lived the look. I got quite the personal attention

yet to own a pair: these from ebay. So no excuses. Try a pair and find 1 you like.

streamlined: wow, thank you. (I think)

compliments: almost always, never had a negative. From a simple 'love your shoes' to a longer chat about how and why etc. 

thanks for your comments

Skipped lunch, eh? Maybe I should have. HA! As for the election, the less said about that, the better.

Thanks for the comments. Every time I put together an outfit, I learn lessons about fashion, I understand that I was bound to throw in a clunker, hopefully, I won't repeat that mistake in the future. As for the booties, they just come in black and tan.

As an outsider from Aus i am at times staggered, amazed, dismayed, frightened and overwhelmed by this 2 year road show that is an election. 

Part of me wants to comment but i think it wiser to say naught. (My grandmother taught me, if you can't say something nice then say nothing)

likewise as a male who only pervs on bums n skirts and does not wear them i will also leave that alone.

The booties i feel confident to comment on, to me they are fine. If they are from payless then they are for day to day wear in all situations. They look comfy and neat  

well done

now the countdown is on 1461 days till you can vote again !

Got a img from my manufacturer.

Yep there's red seams and red outsole as well. Heel height is 5 inch. Based on the isola tora.

Red stitching is very subtle yet certainly adds to the look. I think the laces need to be a deeper red to match 

maybe just the lighting though 

Day 2 in Melbourne 

after work i walked across Melbourne CBD to the theatre where the musical Kinky Boots is showing. The local WITTNER store has a special bright red boot as a special show collaboration.

i looked and had to try them on. WOWEE they are bright. 

Day 1 in Melbourne 

work finished earlier than anticipated so i got to stop in at the WITTNER outlet store. As usual lovely staff and lots of shoes on specials. 

I tried on lots of pairs of 'im not sure but i wonder if they fit' shoes. 

2 of my faves were a pair of redish suede stiletto pumps with stretch lacing across the front and a pair of dark purple shiny patent like ankle boots eith a clear heel. 

In the end bought neither as i wasnt 100%  

but had a lovely time
