Hi, that’s a pretty impressive collection there to be honest mate, love how you’ve managed to categorise them, is it mainly shoes you wear or do you like boots too? And interested to know what size you wear as they don’t look overly large although pictures can be deceiving, I’m only a uk 5 so great when you can buy straight off the shelf.

   Keep enjoying your heels mate and look forward to seeing more in the future 

They are all mostly all US11, so   uk 9 1/2?

Have about 10 pairs of boots.

@subtle, I am simply curious--what is your personal definition of the difference between a mule and a slide? I see you used both terms to describe what I see as the same style of shoe. I have a special interest because more than half of my collection consists of backless shoes of one sort or another, and I have my own personal terminology that I use, whether it's technically "correct" or not.

It’s a bit blurry to be honest, hence the reason for a dual category.

@subtle - nice job on the photos. I wonder what the other half of your collection consist of? More of the same styles - or other styles? 

Mainly a variety of boots, mostly booties or block heels.

I like your stiletto styles (whether pumps, d'orsay, sandals or peeps) and wedges. 
By the way - in the sandals shot - is the 2nd left also a wedge?

 Thanks, I didn’t do a great job aligning that one, but yes good spot, Jessica Simpson jinxxi.

This is about half of my collection, I forgot that I had half of these and wanted to get some photos for reference.

Pumps

D'Orsay styles

Peep toes

Slings

Sandals

Wedges

Mules / slides

 Easy to find negative attributes on someone that dislikes you. Guess it’s a defence mechanism we need to feel better of ourself after negative comments. We always can find negative opinions about someone who dislikes us for what we wear

Women can act like this to each other, there’s often some jealousy fueled comments among friends about some other lady’s attire, they could be just too but still, the fact here is they are talking about someone else for their own entertainment. I don’t think they’re particularly picking on you, just you’re the easy target that’s in front of their face.

but I pretty much ALWAYS notice womens shoes, and can generally guess a woman is wearing heel by her gait, and sometimes even guess the heels correctly

Right, sometimes sound, calve shape, or even upper body posture.

Three complements like that would even make me uncomfortable. I would say if you’d only made one of those comments you’d wouldn’t have came across the way you did.

This really explains the tone I can hear reading some of your posts macky, sorry society was so cruel, when you were just trying to be yourself. I’ve had the same sort of ridicule but my mother couldn’t throw my name away.

I have a lot of Nine Wests - they're a good quality shoe for a reasonable price

I must have about 15 pairs of them myself.

I really like Nine West shoes.  Plus they go to a size 12 on most styles.  Those pumps look really nice Subtle, but the heel is to high for me, I prefer a bit lower.  Here is a pic of my latest Nine West shoes, the style is "Fields."  Very comfy and I have gotten a few compliments.  Have fun...  sf

I do have shorter ones like these...

I had these come in this week us11 Delay

I’m only talking about 1mm of movement or so.

Sometimes the is a little flex tension when weight is it and you can feel the heel tip kinda drag toward the front of the shoe. 

That ruler is in metric they are only 4cm.

Got these last month, Marc Fisher - Prana

Although off topic....

That’s amazing I could keep all the heels hidden on the backside of it

...or not

probably a pain for you to drive to...

Doesn’t everywhere in LA fit this category 

Loved looking at them. Turns out they’re fun to wear too. Also I notice that when sleeping after I’ve been wearing them my feet point a lot easier, before they would actually be uncomfortable to lie down where there’s some force trying to point your feet.

Would love to see what you were wearing

Clark’s maypearl Alice 

I wore some boots I have with a small block heel recently, they’re only just double the height of my everyday boots. So I ended up having to ride in an elevator with people, one of those do or die moments (or so it felt), there was a woman that I could see looking out of the corner of her eye, all I could think then was about what she was thinking, is she going to say something, or will she giggle. I’ve now come to the conclusion that I’m just going to keep wearing them to built my confidence. I’m looking at it as if every person that says nothing is a little bit more confidence I should have.

Just saw this, seems to echo a lot of what is said here

They look great @subtle.

I Agree with the others - pretty low key for anyone to notice anything odd

 

They are sunk into the carpet a bit, I'm more concerned about the noise. When I hear heel clicking I always notice.

Got this pair of Anne Klein - globalist recently. Now to get up the courage to wear them out!

I've been in the exact situation, you'll feel better as time passes, but the struggle will be hard at first. 

Try not to hope that she'll come back eventually, I clung to this for many years. Use this opportunity to do the exact thing she is doing.

Southbay here too
