Cali

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.

Those are both bad, but any heel on rough gravel.

Very nice. Too bad pumps don't like my toe box. I returned my red croc and got a size 11 Bela from Freebird Shoes. Unfortunately, those don't fit either. But I can't return them, Freebird shoes is in receivership.

I love my suede knee high stiletto boots as well. And I also wear them in the summer with shorts.

I'm in 4"+ almost every day. Many day for 10 hours or more.

At work, the women who wear heels all the time love their heels. When we randomly run into each other we always compare heels. Let's get off of this statement that heels are uncomfortable and start looking for heels that fit properly to begin with.

Are you sure you was at a Home Depot?

First I have had my heel (either foot bed) break twice. Once I just had to take them off and go barefoot. Shyheels where's you need for speed? I had several trilling down hill rides, several where you had to get into the fast lane to exit, and you have a car on your tail, at about 45 mph. Forgot: on sew up bike tires, my 15 speed touring bike.

Hi Prima, First welcome. Cookie Monster isn't here all the time, so there might be some time between you posting and him see's it. I happened to me in the beginning. I think I might have seen the photo, but I really don't remember for sure. Now back to boots. I love boots and wear them often. Just yesterday I wore my knee high suede Jessica Simpson's stilettos to work. Wore them for 10 hours straight. You wont like them because they have 1" platforms (5" heels), but I love them. I have knee highs both with and without platforms in stiletto, near stiletto, and block heel styles. Always on the look out for more. Like you, I want my boots to have a full zipper. I have a thick toe box, so the zipper is important for fit. I have a few pointed toe heels, but I can only last 8 hours in them so they are only a tiny portion of my heels. And I love wearing my ankle boots as well. You need variety in your wardrobe. Again, welcome.

I had my regular mani/pedi on Sunday. Wore my new 3" shorts, size 8. I've been trying to get down to 163 lb/74 kg. Almost there.

Sorry, I saw them recently on line but don't remember where. Sometimes you have act fast before they are gone, and sometimes you need to buy more than one.

Bringing heels in a bag to put them on for a photo shot is not really wearing heels. I stay around 4 inch. I put them on at 6:45 am and go to work, and only take them off when I get home -anywhere from 3:30 to 7:30 pm. I might take a stiletto off to drive, but that's because they tend to wear a hole in the car mat

They are still wearing this type of heels. And so am I.

But do they wear them in or put them on once there?

Sorry, but you are projecting to much here. I don't wear heels to attract attention. I do get attention simply because I wear fabulous heels and boots all the time. But I get so much hip pain relief that I will wear them for the rest of my life. I was at a conference and walked in to a breakout session. A woman sitting in the back told me I walked like a man in my heels. So after putting some materials down in a chair, I walked back to where the two women were sitting and ask "Do you want me to walk this way?" and I walked back to my seat while over rotating my hips. "Damn" was their only comment.

Ahhh, the price we pay for the green stuff.
