Hi all. I have many shoes that are 6 - 7 years old, well worn years. The one below is a Charles David wedges. I have at least 6 of these in this design and another very similar design in different colors. Extremely easy to walk in. But they are shows their age. This one fell apart last week. As you can see, the glue disintegrated. I had to wear these for two hours until I could get back to my car.Also, the padding on the one is coming loose. It happened to this pair last year. What I am asking for is a VERY GOOD to EXCELLENT waterproof glue that is also flexible.

Got them on a special one day sale with free shipping.

I have written over 20 shoe reviews over the years, but never include my gender in the review. I write about fit and walk-ability of the shoe.

We had 7 atmospheric rivers hit us this winter. major destruction - roads - piers - towns - hillsides - floods .... The ski slope I ski most often had over 60.5 feet (about 18.5 meters) of snow this year.

After the winter we had in this area, really happy to break out the sandals and shorts.

Back to heels. It's the start of Short Season here, so I wore some old wedges with my shorts to work today.

Or did he slay it?

Good job Mary!!!

I didn't want to say that confidence is a masculine quality, because it is gender free concept.

In fashion, the word slay is used to say you killed the look, you nailed that look, . Just today I got an email/ad from Steve Madden, title 9 Slay-Worthy Styles From the mouth of Google: “Slay" is a slang term used to describe someone who has done so exceptionally well that they killed it, hence “slay.”

I think that the word missing in this article is confidence. It requires a high degree of confidence in yourself to wear knee high heets or pumps (our others) in public. And confidence is a very important quality to have.

Here the slang "slay" means kill, as in "you kill that look". But I also slayed a gopher yesterday too. However, I like to say I helped the gopher transtion to the after life.

Not my style nor my height. But if you like them, wear them, emjoy them.

I can see it now, a Lawn Mover Museum is in you future. Maybe @pebblesf can open an Evinrude wing.

Today I wore Steve Madden lace-up sandals. A woman from a group that has been telling me they love my heels as they walk past my office, saw me walking to a meeting and said "you always slay with your heels."

I have known and worked with this woman for at least a decade. Her (now) husband and I were in grad school together in the early 80's. Earlier this year, when on a rainy day I had on blue faux suede knee high boots, she asked me "didn't you get the memo, you don't wear suede in the rain?" I told her, "I got the memo, these are faux." === I also got a random "I like your boots" from a group of 20ish women walking by. Now, if I had a dollar for everytime I've heard that .........

Very long but interesting day today. I am on a governing board and today we had our final meeting for the year. I was early and went to sit and work on some papers. Upon entering a friend asked if I was wear Freebird? I was. It turns out that Freebirds are one of her favorite brands. Instead of working on my papers before the meeting, we had a discussion on Freebirds. We both have multiple pairs of the same model.

@WedgesAreFunyour comments sadden me. One's life shouldn't be a struggle and suffering. I switched to women's shoes over a decade ago when I finally figure out why I was having so many severe ankle problem (cause: men's shoes). I started to wear women's shoes and went through the fears of doing this fulltime. I started wearing 4 inch heels to heal a severe calf injury and found they helped another condition. So I have been wearing high heels since. I have found a way to live as a man, but with softer clothes, more colorful clothes. Don't limit your enjoyment.

There is a place and time for each and every heel. Today I was going to have lunch with some friends on an outdoor patio with an uneven surface. Wearing stilettos would be hard on this surface, so I wore some masculine Freebirds booties with a large heel.

On Tuesday I had an older woman asked me "how can you wear heels, don't they hurt"? Answer: you start by buying heels that fit and don't hurt.

Exhausted

Welcome @WedgesAreFun to HHPlace. I have many wedge sandals for the summer, but winter wont go away here, so it's still knee boots season.
