Cali

I have several statement pieces, a leopard print sherpa and cheetah print vest. These pieces must be worn with neutral pieces of clothing.

"Shooties" : lace up booties.

I also went to one of coffee shops in Scotland and posted a photo from it in that tread.

In the late 70's early 80's, I commandeered a pair of 2 inch shooties from my ex-wife. wore them thru to the mid 90's until they wore out.

I got into higher heels to shorten my calf so that it could heal. A level 3 tear, they should have operated on it, but with a 65 cm circumference it was just too enflamed. I continue in heels for my hip. I will put my heels on at home and go to work, 8 to 16 hours continuously spent in 10 to 12 cm heels everyday I work. More hours in heels equates to less hip pain.

After undergoing 3 ankle reconstructions. I had done many (10000000s) of ankle lifts, so after tearing my calf (3" X 5") walking in 4 inch heels was child's play. I still have the large gap in my calf.

It also depends on your university. I went to a university on a hill, about 750 feet in elevation between different locations on campus. Steep gorges, steep hills, redwood trees droppings, uneven pavement, deer, quail, and mountain lions.

Going for a walk in high heels is impossible around here. No sidewalks, old pavement (alligator cracks), uneven pavement, dirt paths, sea weed, ....

The basic real estate pump, 4 " black leather, but not patent. RE agents do not wear high heels to sell SFH but will to sell high rise condos.

@Shyheels try magnesium for leg cramps,

My regular Mani/pedi is on Tuesday. Have few ideas today. Last time my nail tech choose a glitter dark blue, but I want a lighter color. Fingers - maybe she found more of the special gel color she has been using.

Not much has happen, but this was something I hadn't happen in over 10 years. But first: I wore my Impo black small heels boots on Wednesday. 4.25 heels, .4 in platforms. Exiting a Safeway (grocery) store with a bag of food, a woman shouted "I love your boots" (nothing new) then shouted "Damn, you can real rock those boots." Then yesterday, I started the day out in my Jessica Simpson knee high stilettos (5", 1" platform). Then I had to changing into flat boots. I used my snow/ hiking boots from Eddie Bauer. Hadn't worn them since 2015 when I tore my calf. I was part of a tour of a new building still under construction so closed-toe boots with thick soles was required. The woman that organized the tour told me she was wondering (worried) what I would wear since she had only ever seen me in high heels. After the tour most of the people walked to the entrance area, I parked close by, so as we pass my car I pulled out my knee highs to confirm I still wear them. A good laugh by all, especially from the woman who organized the tour.

If I ran a high stiletto race I would use my Jessica Simpson suede boots. 5 inch heel, 1 inch platform.

No pumps in my heels. Every pump I have tried cuts into the tendons on my toes.

Ten years I was at an indoor University's special division graduation (not the main campus graduation where it snowed). Many of the women wore high heels. It was clear, many of them had no idea how to walk in them.
