Kittyinboots

Yes. I am actually an 8-bit 2D sprite. =D

...

It's my avatar on just about every forum I've ever been on. It's my AIM name, myspace avatar, facebook avatar. It's an obsession almost. I just always loved that.

I would guess that it is a 3-up extra life moon from Super Mario Bros. I forgot which game it is.

Maximilian!:

Just had to return a compliment. Your boots look great. I like the contrast of brown and black, it has a nice balanced look. Your look could pass as a poster or magazine article promoting mens freestyle heeling. Keep those pictures coming!

Another popular current US show is WWE Monday Night Raw (pro wrestling). Their ring announcer Lilian Garcia wears gorgeous boots with short skirts. Their female wrestlers also wear high heel boots or shoes when they are not wrestling but making a ringside appearance.

Nice boots, Bootylicious. I would say yes they do qualify for HH Place, since I have a similar pair of cowboy boots. I had a similar story when I was a kid. In grade school at age 11, I wore my cowboy boots to school and had several comments about my wearing my boots to school. I tell myself that they were jealous because they wish they had a pair. Otherwise they wouldn't be mocking me. Skipped wearing boots in high school. But when I went to college, since there was no formal dress code, I decided to wear my cowboy boots with jeans tucked in. In college I felt free to express my fashion preferences.

Hello, welcome to HHP. I am also a fan of tall high heel boots. I have visited France over a year ago. I loved Paris and had a chance to practice speaking French. I hope you enjoy looking at this community web site.

I haven't been wearing heels much for the past six months. I'm having quite a bit of pain in my left ankle, so have seen an osteopath and a podiatrist. I've now got a pair of expensive insoles which have given me quite a bit of relief. This week I've worn heels for the first time for ages, today the osteo asked me "have you been wearing different shoes?" no I lied! "Been walking down hill a lot" he continued - "not especially" I replied.

Ok - this guy knows his stuff. I'm falling apart, I think it's time for me to retire from heels.

Fog -

I had a similar problem a few years earlier. Back in October 2004 I decided to refrain from wearing my black thigh high boots, 4” heel, in order to give my feet a rest since my wife and I were going to Disney World in December, and there would be plenty of walking. But as I stopped wearing heels I started to feel pain in the balls of my feet and a burning sensation on the soles of my feet. After researching this online, I had all the symptoms of plantar fasciitis or heel spurs. Needless to say I was very afraid that my heel wearing days were over and that I would need foot surgery. I was starting to get very depressed.

Being a martial artist I consulted with one of my master instructors, she recommended that I massage the pressure points where I feel pain. Here is a link to shiatsu, Japanese art of massage: http://www.ehow.com/video_8591_apply-pressure-points.html. Basically there are pressure points all throughout the body. If you take your thumb or index finger and place light pressure on a point on your body and feel some pain, most likely you are touching a pressure point. When you feel pain in a pressure point it should be massaged out.

I started to use my thumbs to massage the pain in my feet, knees and the tendons near my ankles, then eased up and let my feet relax. As I rested I started to feel a tingling sensation in my feet, as if the circulation in my feet was coming back. I also noticed my muscles in my feet twitching involuntarily but it felt good since I felt circulation coming back. The burning sensation also disappeared. I felt good again and was able to enjoy my trip.

Currently I use a vibrating massager with a ball tip and use this on my pressure points in a short circular motion. My master instructor agreed that this would work well on my feet. I also use a Chinese rolling massager with rubber bumps on the end of the rollers. Rolling the soles of my feet against the rollers also helps restore the energy flow.

Though I am no podiatrist or expert in massage, doing these simple techniques have done wonders for my feet. I was able to keep my boots and massage almost daily. There are links to massage and you can also search for massage devices online. I hope you kept your high heel boots. I hope this helps.

Yes, if is the exact style, and shape of boots/shoes, it is a small price to pay for getting the pair that you want. Sometimes you just have to treat yourself.

Hope everyone had a nice holiday. Today for our Christmas Day dinner, for the first time I decided to wear my knee-high cowboy boots to the party, fully exposed. I have worn these boots to other parties, but first time at Christmas. Normally I wear dress shoes, slacks and sweater or dress shirt. But since I am going through a transition phase in my life, I decided to wear my boots to be different. But to my surprise more than half of the ladies were wearing all kinds of boots, knee-high flats, Ugg, fur wedge, ankle boots, and then of course there was my cowboy boots. All the ladies were talking about their boots, and nobody mentioned my cowboy boots. This is what I prefer, not to call too much attention to my boots since I was dressed in all black. Overall it was a good outing in boots. Happy Holidays.

I agree about the World Series not including the world, however there is Toronto, Canada (Blue Jays). So I count 2 nations competing for the World Series.

Going back to the Cubs, yes I am a Cubs fan. I think they will eventually win it all. Since Cubs tickets sell out often, their payroll will attract big names, some players would even want to play to be the hero that breaks the Cubs curse. I have read that even other nations follow the Cubs and heard of the curse. Go Cubs.

Just forgot to add, I guess the other thing that makes it a World Series and a world championship is the fact that baseball players from around the world compete for the title. Sure we have two 2 nations, USA and Canada playing for the title. Yet the players are from Dominican Republic, Venezuela, Netherlands, Japan, and so forth.

OK back to the current topic.

I also have a pair of boots where the lining is torn. I took it to one shoe repair shop who said that it cannot be fixed since it is a pull on style boot and not a zipper boot. Attention to member, shoerepairer. Can you confirm that this cannot be fixed?

Congratulations on your first outing. By the way, are there any people wearing boots in the Philippines? I would imagine it is hot over there, too hot for boots.

Two words - Daisy Duke !!!!

Short Shorts and High Heels and semi fast cars.

Plus it was filmed about 5 miles from where I grew up here in Georgia.

Loved The Dukes of Hazzard tv series. I recall a few episodes with some good high heel boot sightings.

I enjoyed her scenes where she was wearing her cowboy boots. She had a brown pair and her new black pair. Drew Barrymore looked hot in all her heels.

Another well known show in the US is Three's Company. In the late 70's-early 80's, actress Suzanne Somers played Chrissy Snow, and her trademark was wearing knee high high heel boots, over her jeans. Excellent boot sightings.

I regularly wear heels to church (and everywhere else!!) as well. The heels are usually sandals: thongs, slides and wedgies - clogs in the winter - with 2 to 2 1/2 inch heels. Never had a problem. No one has ever made a comment or seemed to notice. My wife is generally OK with it too...

Merry Christmas to all !!! SF

SF - I have recently started wearing my tall black cowboy boots, jeans tucked in, to church about 2 years to date. I am getting more comfortable wearing boots in church as time goes by.

joesranch2 - Excellent story. Although she does not approve, my wife has been more accepting of me in high heel boots in recent times. In fact we had a few rare romantic moments in high heel boots.

Speaking of Benny Hill here is a link to a You Tube clip, Woodstick. In this sketch we see lots of ladies in high heel boots.

Here in England we find it slightly funny that it is a World series with just US teams but then again Im sure Rugby and Cricket must looks very strange to you too lol

Thats not a dig (honest)

those are like MY avitar boots kittyinboots, (demoniaplatforms) they are THAT high, but like my avitar, BLACK!! I call them my "kiss boots"-you can see why!

I talk much about Western Ranch Boots, FYI they can also make custom platform KISS boots, www.westernranchboots.net . I would imagine they could also make those boots that Elton John wore.

Come to think of it, several of the ladies of the Doctor Who series from the 80's wore really nice high heel boots. I guess if you're going to go on an adventure, especially in outer space, you might as well put on some sexy boots.

While I stayed at Hard Rock Hotel in Orlando, Florida, USA, I took a picture of Elton John's knee high, high heel boots, 70's platform style in a display case. I would say for the record that men have worn tall high heel boots in the 70s, of course my wife would say that they were all rock stars back then.

In the Dr. Who series during the Tom Baker years, late 70s-early 80s, the actress who played Romana (Mary Tamm) wore gorgeous knee high, high heeled boots. I was into the series, but also watched just to get a look at those boots. Here in the US, we see Dr. Who on our PBS network.

After reading several posts, my confidence level has gone up to about 50% in my brown knee high boots, 4" heel. For the first time, day after Thanksgiving I went to the movies, mid-morning. Normally I go out late night or early sunrise. I am sure my confidence level will rise even higher over time.

Today, for the first time I went out to the movies in my brown knee high boots in my avatar. I rarely go out in public in my boots, during mid-morning. But it was the first showing of the morning, so there was not a lot of people. It was uneventful, no one even noticed me. Usually I can only go on short trips, early morning or late night. I would consider this a medium sized outing, yet it was my biggest public outing to date.

I agree, it is not practical to push babies/kids to act older than they are. Although I am not a parent myself, I say let kids be kids. And even if it is a soft novelty heel, a baby should first learn to walk first.

Nice boots Tex :-)

the boots in your avatar are fantastic as well. Look like vintage 70's. They sure made nice womens boots in the 70's. I love the boho boots but especially the Frye OTK campus boots.

Maximilian! -

Thanks for your kind words. I always considered my brown boots in my avatar to be vintage 80's, but it could also be late 70's-early 80's boots. They don't make them like this anymore, otherwise I would get another pair if they brought this style back, simple classic look.

As for my black cowboy boots, did I mention they were made in Canada? We need to keep Western Ranch Boots in business.

Thighbootguy - Thanks again for your comments about my black cowboy boots. I can wear them in public with about 95% confidence level. I would not wear them in front of my co-workers or family members on my side (except my mother), my wife's family I have worn these boots at several gatherings.
