I’m really tempted - it would be very satisfying. I’d love to find something that was nicely made, of buttery soft leather, with the chic look and style that evoked what it was I liked about go-go boots c.1970.

A couple times I’ve looked around to see what was available but all I could find were costume boots, cheap and plasticky. Alas…

When you find them let us know. I wouldn't mine a pair myself😀

@Shyheels, Go get those white Go-Go boots.  You only live once, enjoy it, especially in those white boots.

@mlroseplant:  "too many" and "heels" in the same sentence? NEVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They're not butt ugly, but they would certainly damage my wooden floors.

Okay @pebblesf, here’s a more detail photo of the Jessica Simpson’s Rollin stiletto boots.  Five inch heel, 1 inch platform, size 11. I find that Jessica Simpson heels are pointed so I need to go up a size. I found these late in the run and they only had this color (which I like) and a leopard print left in size 11. Would have liked another suede one in chestnut or a dark brown. I’ve even emailed the company to ask them to bring this model back.

So today is a cold, windy, and very wet day. Great for the Nine West leather boots and leggings.

It just so happens that a member who was formerly quite active on this forum gifted me a pair of low heeled knee high boots. I have never worn them. I suppose I ought to try them, just to see if they get public reactions in the way that my high heeled boots get. It would obviously be a very unscientific test, and probably not a very informative one, but it might be fun!

Wear them on the outside of your pants and see what happens.

Unfortunately, Men in Heels is not going to gain any steam or traction, until we see plenty of regular joe's wearing regular heels in places like Home Depot.

I can only do my part. I've carried 2 by 4's to the cash register in stilettos, but when it comes to heavy bags (concrete, stucco, ...) I prefer block heels.

That's why I have been wearing my stilettos on dry days, like today.  But it's not the rain and cold this weekend, it's high winds and high surf.

Wore one of my favorite winter outfits last week. Cold day and this sherpa is warm.

Started out going to Costco and had at least 8 compliments on everything.  But the funny thing is I ran into my Ex-wife there. She knows I wear heels and have seen me in many different one, she had never me in knee high stilettos. First time for everything! 😆 She was surprise, maybe because I towered over her, who knows/who cares.

Then went to my eye exam test and after it was done the tech told be how nice the boots are how well I walked in them.  I love wearing these Jessica Simpson boots.

Don't usually go out of those days, but this is my knee high or OTK boot season.

What about the parents?  I know at least one had real heels.

We'll contact the authorities in Kent for you.

Just don't jump up and down; AND you will get a better view of the show in heels. 🤣

Other thing it might be hard to see the floor when you leave the venue, so be careful where you step.

I like that "hard of thinking."

If you keep this up you will get to the point where wearing heels is normal for you.  Keep up the effort.

If he really was English, he certainly wasn't 'vertically challenged' - just 'short'.

He was a British expatriate, I know the difference between Kiwis, Aussies, Brits, Scotts, ...

And "short" is a understatement.

I'm on the verge of acquiring an over-the-knee boot.  Any one know anything about the JLO JENNIFER LOPEZ LAKEL OVER-THE-KNEE BOOT.  Do JLO shoe run skinny?

So I pulled the trigger and bought the JLO otk boots.  I hope they fit.  Will find out next week.

At least in the 70's they were tasteful (?)

@at9 "... brand new in box, right size, for £20. ..." says it all.

I’m getting a pair of boots that appear to be somewhat similar to that - block heeled brown knee boots. Should have them next month. Looking forward to having them. It’s a nice look with jeans.

I think it is a look that is both fierce and bold. I get envious looks from both men and women.  I wear shorter jeans under the boots so they don't bunch up at my ankles.

I'm taking my mother to dinner next week, but she has seen my heels for over 7 years. She has never seen my stilettoes and she wont this trip, the resort where the restaurant is located is not stiletto friendly, however, I no long hide my heels.

And your mother didn't notice her son was much taller?

I've seen -25 F in California. I am also a skier and have seen and skied may days in single digits or lower.

We have had nights in the 30's lately, it may not be COLD for some of you, but it is cold for me.

Cold day yesterday.....perfect time for my sherpa
