Don't worry Bubba there's no quiz later today.

He's an actor who wore the tuxed-dress last year.  But he was nominated for a GG and is in an up coming movie. I too don't watch those shows but noticed the heels in a picture this morning and I thought I'll share..

Yeah, no problem
but these particular booties have no shaft :-)

Shorter skinny jeans then as seen here in these booties....maybe super skinny.

NOOOOOOOoooooouuu,
to much of a shaft of a boot under a skinny jeans.
That would look little bit strange and no way to get the skinny jeans over the boot.
That's all....

There is a real easy solution, wear your skinny jeans inside those knee high boots. It's very empowering!

Posture is the key to walking in high heels. I think this is the reason so many women complain that they can walk in heels...that and the fact they buy them for "looks" rather than "fit".

HinH - I know your a big JS fan. I had tried to find JS shoes that fit for some time. Tried several ordered on-line in size 10 and size 11 and they didn't fit.  However, the JS Rollin' knee high stilettos in size 11 did. I even got skinny jeans so I could wear these boots on the outside. I  made the mistake of walking thru a DWS and the JS Rachie, stiletto booties, begged me to try them on.  Surprisingly the size 10 fit so I just had to buy them. Macy's had a "BOGO free" sale and I saw the Raxen and got them in black and Shiraz red, size 10. Before they arrive, I again made the mistake of going to DWS again and saw the Rachie in the same red but they didn't have a size 10 in stock, so I ordered them on-line.

There no such thing as "too many stilettos."

A size 10 Raxen showed up and I was sad to find out they didn't fit, so I returned them for a size 11. They didn't have a size 11 in the red, so I got two black pairs. 

Then the red Rachies arrived. They fit and the red color is a homerun. I have gotten so many comments on them (see above where two women almost walked into each other while mesmerized by these shoes. Glad I ordered them when I did since they are sold out now.

Your wine-coloured ankle boots are choice! HinH

The size 11 Raxen didn't fit either. The difference is the seam up the front of the Raxen and the front "V" cutout in the Rachies.  But I am very happy that at least one of these versions of JS stilettos fit.

I have had 3 boxes of Jessica Simpson Raxen that had been sitting for the last 3 weeks. I finally got the time to open them up. Size 11 still didn't fit.  It's the shape of the shoe and my high arches, just can't get my feet in them. So I returned all three pairs. The woman that took them back at Macy's liked the style and was going to buy the Shiraz Red for herself tonight after work.

I sooooo wish I had a size 9 foot!!!!  Or a size 7 so I could share with GF !

I bet you would even settle for a size 10,

like mine ...

I might limit myself to block heels and wedges when I reach 90...

And you will be doing something women of that age won't be doing!   Lol

Skinny jeans and a leopard print jacket to pick up the colors.

The snaps are not always easy to re-snap, at least in my experience.

I have 2-3. I use them when I don't what my shirt riding up during an activity or don't want something crawling around (crawl spaces/attics ). The thing you need to consider is how you go to the bathroom in them.

I'm in my mid 60's and wear stilettos block heels, wedges, etc. all the time and plan to into my late 90's if not longer.

I wanted to relate a conversation I had with several women.about high heels. Yesterday was my biweekly manicure, I have some damaged nails that have acrylics to hold them together, so I get a "fill" and a gel manicure as well. When I entered there was only two of the manicurist working (New Years Eve) and each had a client. I wore my Red Jessica Simpson Rachie stilettos in. My manicurist was running a little behind. She does such a nice job, is a true artist booked thru May, so when she goes over because she doing some special art I just wait, because she does special art for me all the time. Since I have been having my nail fixed for over 9 years, I am acquitted with many of their clients, including these two women.

As I enter the shop the talk was about my heels.  First the color, this is the "In" color this season and they all just loved the color. Then the talk went to how they could not be able to walk in them, so high, heels always hurt, etc. I said these are comfortable (they really are), I can even jumped. To which one said, okay let me see. So I stood up and jumped about 6 to 8 times, then sat down. Now I didn't jump very high, with a 7/8 inch platform and a 4 7/8 stiletto heel its hard to get much height. She said, okay, surprise you didn't break the heel (you don't land on the heel - that's how). Since I wear high heels almost always, these women have seen many of my heels. 

The conversation continued into how I make sure the heels are comfortable before I buy them. The other manicurist talked about how she has bought shoes and after 3 hours they hurt so they become dinner heels.  Dinner heels are heels you wear from the car to your table so everybody gets to see how pretty they are; take them off after be seated; put them back on for the trip from the table to the car. At that point my manicurist finished with her client and I sat down. I got wrapped and my manicurist went to finish lunch. The conversation then went to posture and how you have a different posture in heels.

Here's an example of a pair of heels I might not have even tried last year and certainly not a color I would have worn two or three years ago. And never would have worn socks like these. So NEVER say NEVER, never! The "envelope" is always changing

Wore these today and eight women liked the heels and color. Had to laugh when two women almost walked into each other while staring at them; we where all going to the entrance of a store.  One women also loved the socks as well.

I started to wear women's shoes on a consistent basis back in 2011. (I had a 2" shoettie I wore from late 70's to the 90's when it fell apart.)  

It was after a third ankle reconstruction that I was looking for shoes that fit my very high arch and narrow heel foot.  All my Google searches ended up showing women's shoes. So I went to DSW and purchased a women's running shoe. The fit was better than expected - I got a better running shoe the next week.  Have not purchased a "men's" shoe since. I had always wanted booties, yes I was envious, so I went to Macy's and found some Booties with a 1.5" heel.  Then some booties with a 2 - 2.5 inch heels and some slouch boots. After over half a century I finally had shoes that fit!  I happy and satisfied with these. (I also had VS stilettos and stiletto wedges.)

Then in 2014 I had a medical need to raise a heel four inches for 6 months and so had to raise both heels four inches.  Since I already knew women's shoes fit, I opt for high heels over two plastic medical boots. After 4 months my friends notice that I was not in as much hip pain. After 11 years of constant pain it was gone! When I went back to shorter heels the pain returned within weeks.  Back to heels and the pain level started to reduced...hence I wear high heels until I can't.

I can say I went wild at first and have several heels that I no longer wear (see the "For Sale" Thread). I have learned more about my very rare type of feet, what type of shoes really fit my feet and what type has no chance (i.e. pumps). 

There are styles and colors that I would have never thought of wearing back in 2014 that I now have, see my Jessica Simpson Rachies in Shiraz Red. Since I have been wearing heels for over 5 years, I am much more confident to show them.  I use to try and hide them under long pants, except I wear shorts in the summer.  I know my taste will change over time as styles come and go.  I know I will always be buying new shoes because I wear them out.

What is crossdressing depends on who you ask. On one end of the scale the strict ones: wearing of any item by the opposite gender is crossdressing. By this definition most women crossdress at some time and any male here that wears women's shoes is cross dressing. On the other end of the scale there are those that say you must go the whole way, for men that would mean hair, makeup, breast, voice, ...

I blend clothing from all sides of the store, but display a masculine look.
