You could do a marathon in your apartment, maybe change heels every hour. It's tough, I find myself on-line 12+ hours a day.

I have gone thru the desire to the doing. I had always wanted to adapt certain clothing sold to women to my use. In the mid 2000's I started to buy women's turtlenecks because I wasn't happy with what was be sold to men. I have since also purchase sleeveless turtlenecks and have TOO many now. But I do wear them constantly thru the winter. Have purchase a men's since. In 2007-8 I found out that women's size 10 shoes fit better than any men's shoes ever did when I went to buy some men's water shoes and they were out of what i thought was my men's size, a us men's size 9.5. The size 11 was too big but I tried the women's size 10 and was perfect. Later that fall I saw booties come into the marketplace and I remembered a 2.5 inch shooties I had in the 80-90's so I took a gamble and bought a Material Girl (Macy's brand) booties with a 1.5 inch heel and studs. It took a while to get comfortable wearing them and colleagues notice. I was now taller. Then I got 2.5 inch booties. I remember one of my University students told me, "Damn Dr. --, you wear some fly shoes." I just smiled and set "thank you."
The big switch for me came in 2015 when I discovered the benefits I got from 4 inch heels. Now its almost all I wear everywhere. While I don't dress as a woman or project as a women, I still wear mostly clothes sold to women. It fit better and looks better on me. Lately I have transitioned to skinny (shaping) jeans and leggings. The funny thing is I have had several men ask where they can get a jacket like mine, they want their own. I don't tell them the women's department (yet).
It does take time.
It does get easier the more you do it.
You will always have ups and downs, but the downs get smaller over time.

Thanks, not my tallest heel, but the difference of 4.63 inch is one of my largest. I have a snake version in my Steve Madden bag right now. Trying to get an incentive like a bigger discount before I buy. Currently they have a 35% off offer but I expect it to go to 40% for a day in the next 10 days

It's the antibody testing that's needed the most. And a quick returned one as well.

The testing is important in understanding the spread of the virus and the % of asymptomatic in the population. The obvious sick you can avoid, its those that are asymptomatic that get you.

I had to go back to my data base to figure what heels these were, when I got them, and why I didn't remember them.
So it turns out that these are Steve Madden Lure Sandal.
QuoteA platform sole and lofty stiletto heel make this sandal a bold retro standout. 5 1/2" heel; 3/4" platform (size 8.5). Suede uppers.
In my size 10 its a 5 5/8" heel and 3/4" platform, over a 4 3/4" rise.
I must of gotten these in October/November of last year because I have a picture from 11/10 in them. I guess, I got them on sale or clearance but had to put them away for the spring. It's spring.

These got merged by the system.

Some doctors are telling their patients with other underlining conditions 14 weeks, minimum.
When you don't have regions that ALL shelter in place (can you say lonestar state), then how can you have people from those areas enter your region when you re-open? What happens is this rotating recurrence until either everybody gets it or a vaccine is developed.
If we are back before 4th of July we will be lucky. This virus can go undetected for a while then explode: NYC, Chicago, Madrid, ....
The life you save by staying home maybe your own.

I was looking for my punch tool yesterday and found these Steve Madden stilettos sitting in a shelf, hidden by clothes. I had forgot I even had them, but glad I had. They fit great. Off to the 8-step commute and work. We're now working from home until May 26. And there is talk that it may be extended to July 31.
