How High is your Hill? Mine would only have 10 pairs.

Could be as loose as the trousers? No belt is like watching somebody wear shoes with the laces missing...

I haven't been able to wear a belt in over 20 years, hits the donor site just the wrong way.

Besides my shoes have zippers.

Part is the total hue of the complete outfit. I know when I wear my red or blue stilettos they get noticed more than a black pair of the same shoe. But I also know my heels get noticed all the time. I see it in the eyes of people I pass as they take the second, third, ... look.

Or maybe they enjoy that splash of color as spring is about to start.

When I switch to womens shoes, I wore Bare Traps with short heels. But all I can tell you are US brands.

Determine the type of heels you want and google it with the size you want.  See what happenes.

Welcome to this site. I glad we were able to encourage you.

Just looks like you have a new pair of lawn aerators.😁

Some and all of above makes me laugh.  First, I can't wear a belt for any lenght of time, it rubs on a 'donor site' on my hip. So all this to belt or not to belt stuff

Second, as a writer graphic artist, I worked from home, many times in sweats, short, sometimes 36 hours days to meet delivery dates. When final reviews come in, you have only a short time to turn in the final. In the begining, I might put on a 3 piece suit to negotiate a project, then work in sweats. When I go to work in public, I am nicely dressed with high heels, especially if I'm wearing knee high stilettos.

As a freelancer, I put money into a pension and I am now collecting money from that as well from another pension that includes medical and dental (not much dental). Still working on my third pension for another 2 + years.  @Shyheels don't starve, learn to fish and garden.

 I bet this will drive @SF crazy.

Look at her age...12. That's the age where they are trying to fit in and not stand out.  Give her some time.

Thanks @bluejay,

I need to replace some of my sandals. My other ones are about 9 years old and halling apart.  But I can find wedges I like, stlye and hieght. So I opt for these stilettoes.stilettos

I just purchase a pair of 

Journee Collection
Women's Samara Peep Toe Booties

Does anyone have experience with the Journee Collection?

I am only posting when something new happens. The post above is one such time and today in a parking lot a woman asked me "why do you want to be so tall?" I told her it helps my hip and she good and continue into the building. And yes she was short.

New comment today from a younger woman:

"you have such a great shoe game, so much better than mine."

New article in the Washington Post

Read about it here

For the same reason Jimmy Choo duty free stores in Austrillia only have up to a size 6.

At lest I can see it here in the US.

I don't know why keep doing this. I had a 4 hour break to fill on Thursday so I went shoe shopping. Looked at a large Macy's. The section of non sneakers (trainer) is so small now. Short heels or ugly shaped heels.

Looked at several other shoe brand store ... NOTHING.

Then went to DSW. Again the sneakers must be breeding at night and spreading through the store. Nothing of interest

BRING BACK DECENT HEELS NOW!!!!!!

... However, was told that I have broken my ankle a few times before.

Did you remember breaking your ankle? I know ankles can be painful.

My left foot would do that until they reattached the tendon.

I just celebrated my 68th birthday. I have been wearing high heels for more than 50 years.  I have never experienced any problem like what is shown here.  For the life of me, I don’t understand how anyone could function wearing shoes that fit as shown. Besides being unsightly and most uncomfortable, they could be considered downright awkward and dangerous.  Needless to say, if I had that problem, I wouldn’t ever wear heels.

 

Hey youngster,

Sometimes its not the shoes but the surface; walk on cobblestones or wet slippery surfaces (in stilletoes). You have no choice. The only time I have fallen was on a rounded uneven surface of cement 'tiles'. But I have had a leg slip out from under me.

My ankles can't make the turn, so I solve that problem by only buying boots with full zippers. Sorry.

I have been seeing a lot of boots with 3 inch heels lately. 

I am now in a position that I have meetings with upper management several times a week. I see a lot more higher heels now.

Then someone would make a meme of him stepping off then on then off ... the ladder and post it on TikTok.

Aw, shoot, it's just fashion shows. You have to have outlandish stuff, or what would be the point of it? I doubt anybody would want to see me in a generic suit and tie on the ramp.

They would just think you where part of security.
