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.

Those shoes you forget to send back end up on-line and @mlroseplant and others purchase them unused at a discount. The only subscriptions clubs I've been a member of was one in the 1960's for quarterly 'Life' books on science and other subjects. And a cotton diaper service when my kids were infants. Not even a Tea-of-the-month club? Or a Gin-of-the-month club?

Memberships and subscriptions are a way companies use to create a steady revenue stream. More and more companies are turning to this business model: dog food, beauty, clothing, prepare meals, and shoes, just to name a few markets.

Haven't done that yet, but I need to soon.

Well they finally came. Great heel, loved the color, BUT they were slightly too tight at the toe box. The problem is that they are pointed toe heels and my feet aren't. I could get my my foot in, but it was just too tight and since they are synthetic I didn't think it would stretch. I had got these for many reason. I love the color. I now have several in this color range. I want a boot that I could wear when it rained. I have no desire to damage my leather or suede heels, so being synthetic was a plus. I wanted a slouch style bootie, and I have been looking for some time. This also had a feature, a full length zipper, that I wanted. And the heel was decent as well. The search goes on .........................

I stepped on the edge of a textbook and they split apart. I just love this Steve Madden wedge, and the second pair as well. At least 6 years old. Real suede, that why it has lasted the hundreds of miles it has seen. This is now my run around town doing errands pair. The other pair just got out of the box last year But she ain't dead yet!!! Its a clean disengagement, so I plan to glue it back together and get several hundred more miles out of her.

It's funny that I posted the comment above on the 14th. This week these shoes went on life support.

I came across fuzzy logic in the 80's when I saw it in Automatic Braking Systems and anti lock brakes. In logic you have YES and NO in fuzzy logic you allow for more options like maybe.

Nice boots.

A watch dog group believes the current biggest thread to national security is AI. AI can be "trained" to deliver mis-information, and if a person have been trained to believe whatever AI spits out as truth, we are all doomed. I know AI has stolen copyrighted material from me.

I just hope they fit. I'll write more once I get them. One feature I really like is a full inside zipper.

Tease Hopeful coming to my feet this weekend. I do hope it fits. Jessica Simpson Mixtesa Slouch Bootie in Dark Cherry

I reposted this because I am still wear the worn out pair to run errand around town. I estimate at least 500 miles in that pair. 7+ years old and have worn them estimated 800 times. Have them on this morning, going to the open air market. And even this pair still gets the "I love those heels".

People get "use to" you looking a certain way. I get questioned at times why I'm not in heels on those rare instance when I'm not in heels. People notice.

I smell an advertising campaign. Glad to see p1ng74 posting again.

Herd mentality. You were leading a tour of lemmings. There must have been a head lemming in this tour group and they all had to say the same thing.

I'm not a fan of the white sock look. Maybe with a darker sock.

But we all know that you, @Shyheels, love challenges.

For me, it's the carpet in theaters that makes it harder. Also, any path that is perpendicular to the slope. Even a slight slope to a drains can be problematic.

I have had similar problems with straps pulling out. The glue that holds the strap in dries out and they just pull out. I have lifted the foot bed and re-glued the strap back in. You need a glue that holds up when it gets wet and is strong enough. The toe problem is common in strappy vamps like that , a little tape or band aid will holds that toe in place.

I can't cut my own toenails or do other similar things due to how my thumb is held in place and the removed bones in my hand. So pedicures is the way to go. After a decade + of pedicures, I now enjoy my painted toes. Decades ago, I damaged the root bed of several fingernails, some split all the way to the root bed while other delaminate, split horizontally. They require acrylic to hold them together. Acrylic then needs to be covered with gel. So why not get color. This month they have a cat's eye look.

Never say NEVER.
