Just picked up a pair of corduroy leggings on sale. Can't wait to try them on.

Several years ago I was in Vegas, in heels of course, when a guy (shorter than me) approached me and said, “you’re wearing heels?”  That began a short discussion that ended with the guy saying that he thought it wonderful that I would wear heels, that he always wanted to be taller and might try wearing heels someday.  I hope he did.  

Good short story SF.

Sleeping with da fish.

Lawlessness

Finally I got a few pictures of these Delicious Elowen booties.

Faux  Lace-Up back. 4.5 inch heels, no platform.

They are black so it's been too hard to get a picture that gives them justice.

This after a 12+ hour work day

This is a great topic indeed...I have tried to Dr. Scholl's ball/gel inserts with limited success a few years ago.  I didn't get much pain relief and the darn things moved around too much in my boots.  I haven't had much problems with pain in the last year or so, but again would like to get some good inserts as I move up to 5" heels for my next pair of boots....

Try Aldo's...about $8 each. Get the ones with the cloth top and it will prevent your foot from slipping.

why do you need more heels etc....  and on this site the reverse is questioned!

Jeremy how dare you question needing more heels on this site!  

I wear 4 inch heels almost everyday and all-day, more than I wear flat shoes. If I don't, then I end up taking pain killers for the bone-on-bone rubbing in my hip. So I NEED my high heels. I might as well have fun with them.  In the summer I wear shorts most of the time, so I have many wedges (hence my Wild About Wedges thread) and open-toed high heel sandals.  in the winter I wear more boots and water proof boots/booties. And I like to wear my boots with long pants anytime.

I always hated shoe shopping when I wore men's shoes. Nothing ever fitted, so I had to buy "clown shoes", shoes too large for my heels where it took it's toll on my ankles. I had very few shoes. Then I found out I had women's shape feet and started to experiment with women's shoes. To my surprise the fit was so utterly superior to what I had experienced in men's. From running/cross shoes I got 1 and 2 inch booties. Then sandals (flat)...suddenly I could find sandals that fit. Then I found I got pain relief from a 4 inch difference and I became a shoe-whore.  

See the new topic I gonna start when I have time.

As I said before Jkrenzer, " Your choice in pumps always have the most classic toe shapes and incredible colors."

Those look to possibly all (or mostly) be the same brand / style.  Care to share who the manufacturer is?  I'm always on the lookout for bold 80's style classic pumps like that for my wife.  Myself as well, but rarely do they run up to that size.

since you like retro take a look at these...

I can understand why you would need 48 pairs of heels.... but why 5 running shoes

I only wear women's shoes since my last ankle reconstruction.  So when I go hiking, fishing along a stream, salmon fishing ... I need a flat shoe.  It's hard to shovel in stilettos (not saying its impossible, just that it is hard).

Total Shoe Count   84

And I thought I was a shoe-whore with ~48 heels and about 5 running shoes and 3 flat sandals.

I drive in my heels except my stilettos.  I found that my tip frequently got stuck in the carpet.  Since I drive a mountain road to work and back, it's (my) safety that I err on. I also don't want the back of the stilettos to get damaged. I also stand/walk for 6+ hours at a time.

I love wedges. All my wedges are open-toe sandals. Many caged...I start taking more pictures of wedges when the weather allows it.

Can't believe that 1/2 inch could make such a difference

Time to believe it, that extra 1/2 means you need to plant that heel tip much closer, so your gait is greatly affected.

Jeremy, the real moral is don't walk down an incline with 7 inch heels. It just a form of suicide.
