I am only concern in what I am NOW calling MTH or Measured True Height = Heel - Platform. Like today, I got my "Elvis" on with my Blue Suede Shoes. JS blue suede stiletto booties, almost 5 inch heel and little less than 1 inch platform or about 4 MTH. I NEED 3.5 to 4.5 inch MTH for my body, so that the measurement I look for. I had some 6.5 inch wedges but they also had a 2 inch platform. Great for reaching the top shelf of my cabinets or watching a parade.

Worn them twice, once for 14 hours straight, even got a 'damn, you're rocking some nice booties. But they are just plain janes with faux suede uppers.

My wedge collection has shrunk, mostly from me wearing them out and not being able to find suitable replacements. Decent high heels are hard to find is this flood of sneakers.

Get with it HinH. 😁 I wear my knee highs over my pants all the time too. Today it was my black faux suede Jessica Simpson knee highs over my size 8 jeans. The JS knee highs are black faux suede with 4 inch TH heels. @mlroseplant My new unit of measure, using measuring instruments is TH which is heel height minus platform.

My next house will have radian heat system and be solar powered. I'll keep the house around 72 then. But my current heater is a old wall heater in the back of the house; extremely inefficient.

I keep my heater on 60 F, off at night (old heater very old uninsulated house) and I will wear my sweater dress to keep warm.

I finally got a pair of booties that fit. Nothing special, but they fit. Women’s Fran Bootie by New York and Company Upper: 100% Faux Suede, Outsole: 70% Rubber, 30% Textile, Lining: 100% Faux Suede Shaft height: 5", Shaft circumference: 10" Heel height: 4" Inexpensive, but they fit. Wore them all day at work.

I just saw this. I have seen similar boots lately, but don't remember where. Google either "pee toe thigh high boots" or "open toe knee high boots". Good luck.

I see people using GPS to drive to the store they have been driving to for years. But there is a use when you get info on traffic jams. I only use my car's mapping when I take a route I have never taken to avoid a large traffic jam. And I have a flip phone.

I have a sweater dress that I use as a long sweater with side pockets. it has it uses on very windy cold days. BTW this month's manicure is a brown bases with magnetic red glitter. The glitter forms waves by the magnets design. Love material science.

I was a size 10 but lately moving down to size 8 and some size 6 fit.

There is a shape difference in shoes. Men's shoes are like boxes, very little difference in width between the toes and heels. Women's show have more of a pear shape, wider at the front and narrower at the heel. For me it means in men's I am a 9-9.5 EEE just to get my toes in, but then I have 1/2 inch on both sides of my heel and at the toes, 'clown shoes'. Lead to numerous ankle and knee issues (operations ad sprains). In women's I'm a regular size 10 and size 11 in some narrower heels. I can't get my feet into pumps, but that's alright, there is plenty of others I can.

I was look at a shoe company's website, can't remember which one, but they advertised an ankle boot as unisex. First time I've seen that.

But that would put additional stress on it and it would be more prone to fail (at the most inopportunity time).

The hand warmers were for @pebblesf standing outside at an outboard engines swap. I could see them also useful when ice fishing. Or skiing when it's -10 F, or after surfing in 50 F ocean water.
