I rather have platforms than super thin soles.  Call me tenderfoot.  I only consider the net difference, so I'm fine with a 1.5 inch platform with a 6 inch heel.  I like the net difference between 3.75 and 4.5 inches but have a few 3.5 inch difference as well as some 5+ inch difference. But walking with platforms is slightly different, specially stairs.

I joined when I found pain relief by wearing 4 inch heels and figured I'm going to wear 4+ inch heels for the rest of my life. Since I plan to wear heels, I might as well enjoy it; Embrace it and have fun with it.  When I tried to hide it with long pants I was sending the wrong message; that I was doing something wrong and needed to hide it. Now that I don't hide it, even flaunt it with knee high boots, I feel much freer

This is not something I do only at home, or in my hotel room, or out on "outings", this is what I wear most of the time. I have no issues going anywhere in my Jessica Simpson knee high stilettos. The photos I post are the looks I go out in public with

But my interest is more than just heels.  I tried several times to do a nail art thread here, but it always got deleted. I moved it to a gallery thread so the general public wouldn't see it, but it too got deleted. So I gave up and found other subtle ways to do it.  If you wear open toe shoes you need to have your toes look "presentable" because they are always on display. Here, toenail art is directly linked to wearing heels and I get pedicures because my hand can't do it (missing/removed bones). I also get manicures because of damaged fingernails, I need acrylic to hold some of them together and getting them color makes them look the same.  No big deal, been doing it for years and I see many more men with colored fingernails now.

I blend my clothes from both sides and in many of my pictures I have mostly women's sold clothes on (clothes do not have gender).  Many times its fit, for example, women's ankle length pants are proportioned to end at the ankle whereas a men's pants with the same inseam is proportion for a much shorter male and doesn't fit right.  But you need the shorter inseam if you want to tuck your pant legs into your boots. 

And if you haven't seen or know about it, there are words that will get your post flagged and placed in a "unpublished quagmire."

To be fair, I had just finished recording hymns to be used in next week's video services, so I probably look a little bit nicer than everyone else. I know that many of us @RonC are very disappointed that casual clothing has now become acceptable in nearly every situation. I always like to say, "Comfort is overrated," as if I am saddled in some way by my clothes and shoes. I think that is not so much true, because I really don't feel uncomfortable in nicer, less casual clothing. Perhaps I perceive comfort in a different way than do most people. For example, I don't mind wearing a necktie, as long as my shirt collar is properly sized. I just seem to ignore it while I'm out and about. It's the same with the heels. Sure, I notice that I'm wearing heels, but I don't perceive them as being uncomfortable, they just are. I mean, assuming they're not rubbing a blister in the side of my foot or something, but that's a separate issue from what I'm talking about, and that has an easy solution--if it keeps happening, like @Cali always says, we just get rid of the shoes. I guess it all boils down to one question: Why is it necessary for every article of clothing to "feel like you're wearing pajamas?" That seems to be the ultimate goal of most people these days.

In spite of all that, even I have slid down the casual slide a little bit. When I first started wearing heels in public, I made sure that I looked several cuts above before I stepped out the door. I felt it necessary to make some sort of statement that I was not wearing the heels by some sort of accident, but that it was part of a total look. Therefore, I would not leave the house without my shirt ironed, my pants pressed, and looking the very best that I thought I could. Today my standards are much less strict. Today, I just have to keep my work t-shirts segregated from my "nice" t-shirts. No, it's not quite that bad, but it's true that I no longer feel like I have to get all the way dressed up just to wear heels to the grocery store.

Why does there have to be this distinction between comfortable and nicer clothes?  I opt for comfortable good looking clothes. I want to feel good and look good. Just like shoes, life's too short for ugly clothes (unless you're working in mud or other muck).  It makes no sense to walk around in envious heels and ugly clothes.

Today's image is from yesterday.   !8 months ago I might have had pants that hid most of these heels, but these pants are size 10 Short skinny and they stop just before the tops of the heels No bunching of the material at the ankle that I see in other's.  I originally got these jeans to fit inside my tall boots so that I could wear my boots outside my jeans and have less material on the inside. But I love how well they look with my booties too. 

Here are my Levi's 311 30" X 30". Ankle length so they fit in the boots.  The membership checker at Costco told me she was "really digging those boots."

You wont get that if you hide them.

I have submit many reviews on heels and have seen them published. I've also had many reviews on other items publish. It's also a way to get more "points" towards your next reward. You need to play all the retail angles.

Blimey!   I should think that a couple of 'hallelujahs' would be enough to blow the masks off!   (More seriously, isn't the effect noticeably muffled or spoiled by the masks?)

Or could that improve their sound?

I think the importance of showing images of our members in what they wear in public is important to show the members that only heel at home that you CAN wear your heels in public and the world does not end.  I've gone from hiding my heels with long pants to openly wearing my knee high boots in plain sight.  If you are going to wear heels, do it with pride.
