I was busted for posting in the girls.  Totally ridicules. Double standards.  I am very glad you are in this forum and are an active participant  there are a few other girls in here  and I think it's great to have your opinion 

CAT 

I agree. The hangup many have here is the fear of what the fairer sex thinks about our heels. Actually getting some firsthand comments is what many need to help them on their journey. 

We are advocating that heels should not be viewed as gender specific so why should chatting about them be......

I, like CAT say please stay and please be involved.

Yes TBG 

i like the feel of longer boots but the look (on me anyway) is not what im after. 

Sitting at fave cafe in kings cross. Having a coffee and nibble

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. 

No comments, saw some looking but not even much of that

I know there have been threads on the musical Kinky Boots. This is more about the publicity campaign here in Melbourne where it has recently opened. At the Sofitel, on Collins Street, where I am staying all of the Do Not Disturb signs are Kinky Boots themed, with an image of a crop-wielding buxom lass in red patent thigh boots. Seeing such lively Do Not Disturb signs hanging on the door knobs of so many rooms along the corridor as I go down to breakfast creates a colourful impression of the sorts of activities that might be going on behind all these closed doors.

Its hard to keep a straight face.

Im in melb sun through thur next week. Hope crown is the same. 

I am definitely going to go try on the wittner kinky boots promo boots. Only available at the Collins St shop in Melbourne 

Another night out

canberra tonight, quick bite of thai

brrrrrrrrrrr

Does anyone know how to keep patent leather boots in good condition ive had a couple of pairs with fab heels that  i really liked but after a few years the patent splits or just deteriates especially around the zip area where they get pulled the most. Is there any treatment that could prolong their life.

Hi @stevey2

my first thought is youve got to decide what you have in terms of what your boots are made from

patent leather is 1 thing

synthetic is another

you should NOT use the term leather and synthetic at same time. 

synthetic is man made and is generally a polyurethane mix. Once cracked thats it, cannot be repaired. Thats my understanding 

Ive had 1,2,3,5 & 9

Those sure are attention getting devices.   I'm not sure I like them with blue jeans.  I think they would be better with black slacks or black leggings.

Mmmmmmmm, interesting @Thighbootguy

OK i will see. Next week i can pop a pair of black jeans on and see. Might also try with a pair of black leggings

If you wear those in public, you're likely to be spotted.

Sorry, couldn't resist.

Home from Adelaide and package waiting for me. There is a person on Ebay AU selling a bunch of ZU shoes n boots. All starting at $10. 

I bought the ZU ankle boots in leopard print. Currently wearing them with a dollop of stretch spray inside them. (They fit and are comfy but snug.)

15mm platform, 135mm heel, 120mm effect

I am very happy with the purchase, but will have to cull a few more pairs soon

These two outfits are my favourites, well co-ordinated.

Thank you @CPB

Adelaide day 3

Last nights visit to rundle mall was great. Didnt find anything but tried on several pairs in the 15 odd shops i looked in. All sandals and flats this summer which is not my thing

Today, back to work. 

Jeans, shirt, black CLARKS boots with thick stiletto (and yes i changed thd belt to a black one)

Sorry the CLARKS purple ankle boots weren't comfortable because they look great with the purple shirt.

Thanks @Thighbootguy

heels are fine just a little rub on left little toe. Had been a long day and lots of walking. 

Work finished. Time to hit Rundle Mall.

blue jeggings. My old fave black WINDSOR SMITH boots

Day 2 in Adelaide.

green / khaki coloured skinny light jeans with business shirt and my old fave JO MERCER long brown boots with 9cm heel

all day in these. Lots of walking. 

I missed a day, so sorry

went out after work just down to the bar in hotel. Grabbed a beer. 

Wearing my TONY BIANCO block heel sand coloured ankle boots. 12 cm heel. Quite a contrast and skinny jeans don't cover at all

Then went out for an explore and dinner. Changed to my CLARKS purple ankle boots with a thick stiletto but only 9cm heel with a 1cm platform. Easier to walk around. Spent 2 hours out walking. Feet were sore by end but a great time had. 

Arrived in Adelaide!

staying at the Intercontinental. Bar is at level 1 so no view, and the beers are very expensive.

sitting down in bar in my ZU ankle boots, light grey suede, jeans and a polo shirt. Just chillaxin

enjoy

Here's another pair that got away...   Casadai platform over knee boots from a couple of years ago. They were heavily discounted at the time and a real bargain. For some reason, I procrastinated and... 

Wow, gorgeous boots, bummer
