Cali

hernaezjames I drive in 4-7 inch heels all the time, I just don't drive in stilettos anymore. Got the tip stuck in the carpet and almost had an accident.  So I take my right stiletto off when I drive.

Went shoe shopping at a large mall.  Went to several stores that carry shoes I like and fit.  Tried on several heels but nothing was in the "Just Have To Have It" category.  But shoe shopping in person is always fun and enjoyable.

These look great Cali. Not sure I would call them vintage though...? There are still many style out like this.

I call them vintage since VS stop selling their own heels about 4 years ago.  When I wear these or my VS stilettos the women at work just can't believe it specially when they see the "Wings".  They drool!  They really drool!  And having perfectly pedicured toe nails with color is over the top.  If you live in heels you have to have fun in them and with them.

There are other similar threads.

I always liked polish, for decades and decades.  In the 70' and 80's it was part of a pre-game ritual to paint my toe nails red...I led several leagues (in batting average). About 8 years ago I started to get pedicures when my hand was in a cast  for months.  Started with clear, then a rose tint..none almost anything.  Had a pedicure today.

I enjoy having color as an extension of my personality and wear high heel open toes shoes. I known now for my heels and my nails. I've even been given containers of nail polish by people at work. I don't have reds or pinks, but new colors, dark colors, metallics, sparkles, ... I'm a little wild for someone my age.

Conflict

I'm the one that revived this post.  I had been looking through the women's forum and had notice several threads that I would have liked to post to, but didn't.

I understand the reasons behind the women's only forum.  So I will try to put stuff in the everybody forum instead

Toast

I thought I'll add these vintage VS ankle-strap stiletto heel wedges.  The heel goes down to a tip.  This is one of the shoes I use the shoe stretches to "enlarge" the toe straps. 1 inch platform 5.5 inch heels.

With diabetes becoming such a big problem worldwide, foot care is extremely important.  

Beer

Shovel

I'm in wedge/sandals or open toe heels all the time so I need to have my nails looking good all the time.

There is nothing sexy about nasty looking feet, so take care of your feet.

I am an everyday high heel wearer.  That means I wear my high heels to work, shopping, etc. So I am into more everyday mainstream (designer) heels. I still want my women colleagues jealous of my heels so I want high heels that look good.  So I really want the opinions of the female members.

That's exactly what I plan on doing, starting topics in the for everybody forum.

When I first started wearing 4 inch heels a few females told me to try wedges because they are "easier to walk in".  I agree, I love my wedges and have over 10 open toe wedges for the summer.  I'll plan on showing some of mine and I want to see yours.  Also platform height and heel height.

These Steve Madden Elisha  lace ups have a 1.5 inch platform, 5 1/4 inch heel. (Zebra toes.)

Sorry for the pun W about W

i prefer OPI.  I don't get chipping or rub-off between pedis.  But OPI don't have as many sparkles, so I use China Glaze for sparkles.

For my fingers I use OPI gelish polishes.

The poll says for all, so I took the opportunity, but there are other post I would love to chime in on, like high heels at work

Did I mention I like hand drawn art?

hernaezjames you got to learn to take your stilettos off when you drive.  The spike can get caught in the carpet...I know from experience.

I admit that I am extremely lucky to have normal women's US size 10 feet, so I can shop almost anywhere.

My first in-store was at Macy's when I tried on a short 1.5" heeled booties.  They fit, I got them and I wear them. Then I got the nerve to shop the women's department at DSW.  From there I got the courage to go to small boutiques. Now when I go shopping at a mall for any reason I always take the time to look at shoes. Look, hold, ask questions, and try-on what I want to without any hesitations.  I hardly ever have to say they are for me because I usually have heels on and any good shoe salesperson will always inspect the shoes you have on as you walk in.

I love shopping for shoes in person it's the best way to find shoes that fit.  I especially enjoy the times when you are sitting next to another customer having a nice conversation about shoes and maybe even trying on the same shoes. However, sometimes you have no other choice than order over the internet, I'm 50/50 with success getting shoes that fit this way, just glad for free returns.

I apologize if I've posted in the For The Guys section. I just noticed tonight the rules about men not posting in the ladies section. I for one enjoy visiting the guys section and I've either "liked" a post or made a comment (always positive ) about a post. Is this taboo? Please clue me in here if I should stay out. Have a great night, Carol

I'm new here but I would welcome your input as well as all member's input.  That's why I try to put my topics in the For Everybody forum.

I voted in the "How HIGH a Stiletto can you wear & walk in WITH NO PLATFORM?!?!" in the For Girls Forum (5") but refrained from posting a reply.  There are so many topics in the women's forum that I would like to comment on. I wear heels all the time, so I feel I have some insight.  I feel my taste in foot wear is closer to many of the women here, I'm into boots/booties, wedges and sandals so I want to hear about what style women like to wear. And I wear 4+" inch heels

I have trouble walking in them, as because the sole doesn't bend, the slip off at the heel. 

That's why they invented straps.......

@Cali  That is true and I stand corrected.  I was thinking of obviously fetish shoes with 2 inch or greater platforms, because fetish shoes and boots are all I think about, shoe-wise. 

For me its less about a fetish more as a way of life. I need the 3 to 4 inch rise, so I wear heels.  And since I wear heels I might as well enjoy what I wear.
