    Unusual Heel Uses

    Currently Artistic swimming (formerly synchronized swimming) is only a women's sport at the Olympics.  Maybe there will be a men's or mixed division in the next Olympics in Paris.  Time for you to lobby for it it @Pierre1961.  Then we need a team to wear their Water Pumps.

    Actually since the olympic committee has a commitment towards gender equality perhaps they could create the event.  They have already decided to replace the 50k race walking event with something else because it is men’s only and not fitting towards their commitment.  

    I suppose swimming is quite the opportunity to exhibit extremely high heels. I might not be able to stand and walk in 7” stilettos, but none of that probably matters in the water…

    Just wondering what could the police could say if they were to stop me for any reason? 

    I wonder if anyone has been asked to do a field sobriety test while wearing high heels.  I'd want to pass wearing heels lol.  

    More generally, if anyone uses high heels as evidence against being in control of my vehicle, I have a youtube channel of me racing and driving thousands of miles in heels that might be counter evidence...

    Oddly enough, my old pickup truck, which is a manual, has not got this problem. I don't really notice whether I'm wearing heels or not while driving this truck. Weird, huh?

    It's probably the angle of the pedals.  The lower the car, the more your legs are at a horizontal angle, versus trucks where you are more vertical.  

    I love driving in heels.  I like the feeling of really stretching those hamstrings when pushing the clutch all the way in, which gets more extreme the higher the heels.  Like walking and running, I started from 2" and worked my way up slowly, so that I would get used to the incremental height and feel comfortable and safe.  Heels actually make heel-toe shifting easier.  I didn't realize just how accustomed I am to driving in heels until I tried moving my car across the compound the other day with slippers on.  My heel sank 3-4" inches deeper into the floorboard and I found my foot to be at a very uncomfortable angle.  

    I race in a rallycross series on weekends and won the championship last year.  I wore my cowboy boots with 3" heels every season.  The only reason I'm not wearing anything higher is unrelated to driving - we have to work the course when we are not racing, and I would rather not run through the mud in my 4" heels.  But driving in them is no problem:

    Lzzy can operate a Wah pedal on those heels!! Not easy when playing a guitar at the same time!!! I know her pedalboard is really small as well with only 4/5 pedals on it.

    Amy has to dodge 3 pedalboards on stage, however her job is slightly easier as they are mostly all behind her.

    Lzzy mentions her 7” heels and is wearing some nice boots in this video where she talks about her gear:

    Who has bought some new BOOTS?

    I am glad to know that he detected nothing adverse but concealed cowboy boots with 3" heels are quite tame - I wear the similar ones in my avatar without any issues, although I know they have been 'spotted' on occasions with a raised eyebrow or three.   I do however suggest that his new tall decorated cowboy boots with a contrasting 4" heel are in another league and would very likely give rise to some reaction in the UK, albeit not necessarily of a critical or condemnatory nature.      

    You are entitled to your opinion based on your own experience but we are not talking here of plain 'cowboy' boots or even knee boots.   I don't think you have publicly worn long heeled boots as distinctive as those of p1ing74, or could do so without some quizzical reaction.  

    I have been wearing the boots with 4” heels around a bit now, but since we are working from home I haven’t been able to put in some extended time in them until this week.  I went to an out of town conference and put in about 70 hours on this boots in 4 days. 
     

    There really is something magical about that 4” heel height threshold that changes the overall look.  The shoes started more conversations than anything I have worn with 3.5” heels, and people commented or asked how tall I am, despite being a relatively normal 6 feet tall without heels.

    And they feel so great to wear too. 3.5” feels so normal to me now, and that little extra stretch to 4” is a noticeable and nice feeling on the feet.

    Controversial heels for Ukraine military parade

    In broader thoughts, what is the point of a military parade anyway? Tremendous waste of resources. I’m completely fascinated, don’t get me wrong, but that’s not what the military is for. We probably ought to quit that stuff. 

    I suppose the military has public relations to manage, like most organizations.  I loved air shows and what not around Independence Day as a kid because we got to see all the fast and loud equipment.  And of course the military used every event to promote recruitment.

    In our free time, my son and I sampled some of our neighbor vendors' products, and we wound up on social media, voluntarily. However, they cut off my shoes. Hmmm, never had THAT happen before (sarcastic comment, if it's not clear in print)! I wonder if it was on purpose?

    I bet most people don’t even think about whether the shoes are included in the shot or not.  Either way, that is their loss!

    I had a similar experience at work when we were asked to share pictures of our pets.  I submitted one of our cats climbing up my leg with my boots and 3.5” heels in clear view.  The editor cropped out the boots…

    Heelers : Well here we go again . What is the complaint ? Any man ( or woman ) who goes out in public in high heels is subject to eventually be seen . You put your selves in that position . You are asking for it and then you bitch when your photographed . What is your major malfunction ? Unless your picture is used my someone for illegal purposes the public has the rite of freedom .  Just like you .   Mike

    I think the issue is not that the picture was taken, but rather the unfriendly behaviour following it.  Yes, if I am comfortable expressing myself by wearing the heels in public among strangers then at some point I should also be comfortable talking about them and even letting people take pictures of them.  The problem here is, this person seemed to snap a photo and then took a very unfriendly stance towards mlrose. 

    I admit that I am a bit camera phone happy when it comes to certain things that I see in public (not heels, but I sometimes snap a photo of a rare car or something else interesting to me.)  I'm glad mlrose shared this interaction as it is a good reminder to me on social norms.  If I have the guts to take a photo, I better also have the guts to say hi, and try to be friendly, and offer some positive social interaction through it.
