My Ex-wife is extremely envious of my nails. 😁 And I love it!

I only take my right heel off when I have stilettos on and going to drive for over 20 minutes. Otherwise I drive in my heels, even for a 8 - 9 hour trip. Most car sold in the US have a CVT - continuous variable transmission, which is a belt system.

Both my fingers and toes get complements from BOTH men and women. Sometimes a man will tell me he wishes he could color his nails but is too afraid to do so.

I have had 3 ankle reconstructions, hammer toe, 5 knee surgeries, hyper extended a achilles tendon (cast for 4 weeks), blew-out a peroneal tendon, tore a calf (3"by 5" tear). Many caused by men's shoes not fitting the shape of my feet. Only the peroneal (road pavement gave way) and calf (skiing) since I switched to only women's shoes. @mlroseplant I have a friend who has had both knees replaced. And he still hikes and I have meet people on the slopes who have had knee replacements. If you wife waits too long, then she could do too much damage that can't be fixed.

I can drive in my high stiletto heels, but it recks the outside of the heel. And it has put a hole in my rubber floor mat. So now I will take the right heel off while driving.

Many decades ago my daughter painted my toes red when my foot/angle was in a cast. Haven't worn red since. @CrushedVamp the doctors and the staff have seen hundreds of men in colored toes, it nothing new. I have had colored toes for 2 decades now, it's no big deal. Call your wife's bluff.

I get both manis and pedis every 4-ish weeks. I damage my fingernails beds, so I need to have acrylic to hold the fingernails together and then gel on top. I also into material science, so I have magnetic gel this time. Toes are neon green, or as I like to call it, fishing lure green. I also use polish on my fishing lure. The glow-in-the-dark polishes add something different to your lures.

Now let's expand this, how about Ginger from Gilligan's Island always in high heels. Real practical on dirt.

How about a lift in the floor?

I had a pair I called my 'refrigerator heels', I could see and clean the top of my refrigerator with them on.

When I started to wear knee high, I would hide them under my jeans. Now it skinny jeans and the knee highs on the outside. When you wear with confidence, embarrassment is not an option. And when you wear those boots with leather pants, your confidence is off the chart.

It's not a circle, it's a spiral.

Somewhere out there, there must be a clown missing their shoes.

Wear the 'over-the-top' heels with an 'over-the-top' top and they only notice the top.

I like my platforms, from the hidden 1/4 inch VS Stilettoes (vintage) to my 1.5 inch types, sometimes more. I think my Jessica Simpson suede stiletto knee-highs with platforms are elegant, as well as my JS knee-high in flax suede with chunky heels.
