Believe or not, @mlroseplant, some people can not carry a tune. I can't; my mind does not think in a linear manner.

I have a thick toe box, so pointed shoes need to be longer just to get them on. My JS stilettos (booties and knee highs) and Nine West leather knee highs are size 11. Almond and round are nicer on my toes.

Also the shoes are in a shadow, better lighting would go a long way too.

I love it! People dress their infants up al the time in outfits, especially "mommy $ me". You just took it to another (artistic) level. These should be prized photos in her baby book.

Please NO!

Wile I love uniformity in coffee - dark roasted (expresso), black, I want diversity in my life. I split my clothes between colder and warmer wear. Different pants for different heels. Several groups in the same style but different colors and sometimes fabrics. I can't wear my knee highs boots with my skyscraper jeans, while my Jessica Simpson stiletto booties doesn't go with my short shorts. But I can (and do) wear my Jessica Simpson knee high stiletto boots with my short shorts, just for fun.

Your getting bolder in your shopping. Next time go straight in look and ask. Don't wait until there are less customers. I wear heels all the time so when I go into a shop they know I'm looking for myself. Many times I get better service because they view me as a higher chance of a 'sale' than women just looking.

Just finished watching the Rose Parade on TV (only saw two in-person) and watch several women in heels, some high. Wonder how will they look at the end of the 5.5 mile (8.85 km) parade?

Crawling about the rocks in high heels would be insane. Sneakers are appropriate in this case. (BUT ONLY in this case.)

I ventured into women's jeans and cords 8 years ago and haven't ventured out. In Levi's I have several 311's both red tag and cords. In Express I have many different styles, mostly skinny, size 10 and some 8's. Some are 'short', I like the short versions for some boots because the stop before the ankles and don't give me extra bulk around the ankles. My boots fit better. I have gotten a few 'straight jeans' and recently I have some skyscraper in size 10 and 8. I just got a size 6, I can get them on and close the button and zip them up, but they are a little too tight for now. Hopefully, I will be able to wear them with a little more weigh lose. Several of my cords are JAG. I get compliments in those all the time. Love the new 4-way stretchable materials.

It was in the seventies, so she had high stiletto pumps. It snowed and I went barefooted for a few weeks. The snow helped with the pain.

When I was 18 in college, I picked up a friend from her work and took her to get fingerprinted (financial business). On the way back to my car I tickled her and she drove her stiletto down into my barefoot. My baby toe bone split lengthwise. It was winter and I couldn't wear shoes.

I can tell you that toe surgery is not for the faint of heart. I jammed my baby toe and it got stuck in the upright position. They went in and fixed that toe and the toe next to it had a 'hammer toe', so they removed the joint and put wire through both toes. At a farmer's market a woman backed into the wire and I let out a scream everybody at the market hear. But when they pulled the wires out I found a much high octave to scream at. Don't mess with toes.

I will stand and lecture for 3 hours at a time. The balls of my feet will burn by the end, but I will go to reflexology and get my feet worked on every once in a while.

I figure at least 10% of the guys who compliment me on my heels wish they had the cojones to wear high heel knee high boots.
