Cool boots. Are they Elvis's? The box implies so.

Steve

Haha they're damn comfy whoevers they are

I think the main suggestion was to actually ease the pain rather than a cure, and it really works, as already said especially when standing for long periods of time, I too suffer from sciatica and it helps this no end

Great looking booties, the tassel is a nice touch.  How will you wear them... jeans...leggings...?

Thanks! Jeans I would expect 

Just bought these today, something a bit more casual

Nice - those fit my style.  Too bad we can't see the heel here.  What brand are they?

I will post a better pic up where the heels aren't sunk! They are by Emilia Luca X.

Just got these yesterday they are only 3.5 inches but very comfortable

@Danvan1600 they really are fab shoes and look great with the jeans!!! My fave look!! 

Thanks they are my faves at the minute, I have better pictures probably not one of the best ones to show on grass lol 

Although I don't heel much in public, I agree wearing heels has progressed to skirts and tights etc, it just feels so much more fitting and comfortable, a couple of pictures of a skirt and my 5.5 patent pumps

It's not as simple as that. Heels should be held in place with either 3 or 4 wood style screws that likely ripping the threads from the coresponding plastic. If they are at all decent there will be steel last under the insole that forms the shape of the rise and keeps the screw heads from pulling through. Glue is added but the real strength revolves around the mechanical attachments. 

And, yah you're putting way to much torque on them in the soft grass only made worse due to the platforms. 

Yeah there doesn't look to be much holding it on under there to be honest, I have a pair of pleaser 5 inch heels that have been worn to the absolute death for 3 years without re tipping and they are still strong as an ox, I know pleaser aren't the best either but they have seen some wear!

It looks fixable. Try some fast setting epoxy, but wait 24 hours before wearing them to allow the glue to cure to it's hardest state.

If you're wearing those spikes on grass and they're sinking in more than an inch, then you're putting a lot of weight on the heel which isn't going straight down. It's leveraging the heel and bending it off the shoe. Shoes like that are not made for grass. Go to a sandy beach instead!

Thanks I may try that before I bin them! Yeah it was one of those wrong place wrong time moments, that was awhile ago but I suppose it will have weakened them as they were sinking a lot to be fair

Just a couple in my latest 

I won't be buying off this manufacturer again, a heel broke off these pumps tonight I've only had them a few weeks and not even walked in public in them 

It is so warm here in the UK, still 80*f at night, too warm for jeans 

Just a couple of my black patent 5.5"

Just a couple in my latest

New heels

Purchased on eBay (real bargain too!)

Brand is Loslandifen, not sure of style name, but very comfy on. Heel is about 4.5 inches high

Lovely what size are they?

These are 5 1/2 inches and I can walk for a period but not too long 

They are a uk 10 so not small that's why, they seem to look shallower in the photos than they are somehow

Just had a quick walk out in the rain in my 5 1/2 inch pumps, thought it share a couple of pics from before and after I went, couldn't get any while out as it was dark and they looked poor 

Adding this into here it's a comment from a  post in 'for everyone' but it's the final story of how a wedding party turned out

It's amazing how good those shoes looked after you removed the contrast of the white heel.  The rotted floor board was just plain bad luck, but it is nice that the girl you were with had the presents of mind to get a picture.  Her comment on your heels surprised me, didn't she know you were wearing stiletto pumps?

It sounds like you had a good (and safe) time.  Muddy heels are one of the expenses of wearing stilettos on a soft lawn.

That's what I thought too! Yeah she knew but she was examining the bottom metal bit lol, I sure did and yep it sure is
