How many of you wear heels to a concert? If it’s seated I see no problem. However, with standing, often, standing, in the same position for 4 to 5 (maybe 6 or more) hours, how often does this give cramps or give you some other issues with your feet?
I’ve a gig next week, and with the cold weather coming in, I’m thinking about my 4 inch cowboy boots as they are fleece lined and will keep my feet lovely and warm.
What’s your experiences with heels to a concert?
Thanks in advance.

I do wonder how he managed to operate his pedalboard in heels.
Tapping switches is one thing, but operating a wah or expression pedal is hard when you (or at least I) have a high chance of the heel slipping off. I wonder if his footwear was why he used so many Boss pedals, their big lever switches are very pointy shoes (and thus heel) friendly.
To be honest, when I’ve tried with my guitar rig, it’s easier with pointed toe heels as you can direct to what you need on a switch. Wah is a slight adjustment to get the pivot point correct. It’s about motor adjustment. Not a big thing, it’s trying to modify muscle memory to be honest.
Now we do all that via MIDI switching or using a digital amp/effects interface, so his tone and playing would have changed if he was alive today.

I was interested to read an article about how fashion was changing and boundaries were blurring - but in every single instance they referred to throughout the article the blurring of gender lines was about people in the alphabet clique being now better able to express themselves in fashion.
In not a single instance did it refer to straight men being able to do so. Not one.
And yet the article was supposedly about this brave new world of fashion.
What suits the media and their narrative I suppose. If it didn’t suit their narrative, they don’t get a say or won’t say something positive as it could omit their argument.
Eventually times will turn, and they will look stupid. I was reading something recently where it was suggested that men will start to wear heels more regularly than women do. Whilst not the slim sexy stiletto, however a block or slim block heel.

I think there has long been this erroneous perception in the US that we are more tolerant on this side of the pond, as if we had learned that much more from our greater depth of history - we haven’t,
Totally agree on this. We are more tolerant in many areas. Religion for one, the right to mock every religion including one’s own is one area we are more tolerant. More tolerant on right to choose on bodily autonomy. When it comes to other perceived “faux pas” and challenge of the normal. We are still a fair bit away. Albeit, closer than where the USA could be.

To be honest, there’s a butt f ton of toxic masculinity here. Here in the UK, the machismo has been on the rise since 2016 and the Brexit vote, the rise of the populist right wing and the folk who, like the USA have stirred up the pot and are all against Women. Dare I mention the name Andrew Tate, the man who went to Romania to avoid being charged with alleged sex crimes. The Incel movement as well. Do your research on him, that is typical of some in the male population.
The only good thing about being here in Scotland is we have a law enshrined in constitutional agreement that church and state is separate. The good thing is the Church here don’t have no power, plus folk here are not worried about offending the church type.
We are less open minded in this there ways. It’s the football culture I guess. Thats something the USA will never understand. Two teams yelling obscenities at each other, stuff you would be ejected from an arena or a stadium. We are segregated as well. Check out some USA v UK football chants on YouTube.
We need to become more open minded, over in Europe they are about a few years ahead, some places like the Balkans and maybe the south of Italy you could get beaten up by the police if you don’t justify and answer accordingly. Hungary are another country to avoid as he is pushing through anti alphabet laws, again mirroring what is going on with the GOP/SCOUTS in a more authoritarian tone.
Theres a lot of work to be done in that reguard.
Socio-economic-populist ways are on the rise, they are receding in some areas, but they are on the rise elsewhere.
Its all a bit political, I am sorry if I took it that way. Times are changing, it takes time.

Well… Parked the car, got changed into my heels. Walked down the stairs, the sound was glorious, but… went over on my ankle. Changed back into my trainers.
Think I’m going to have to look to see if I can get some 3 inch heels. Get used to them before I go back to 4 inch heels.NOW PICS ADDED

Problem is with the original stiletto heel boots is there’s no reviews on them. Makes me wonder how many bought them. Those other new ones look great, more 70s.

Not going through to Edinburgh, the line is already 6 hours long for seeing The Queen. I’m going into Glasgow, the wait is about 20-30 minutes, plus we don’t have Cobbles. Our roads are relatively flat, barring the odd pot hole every 100yards. Our city chambers have lovely marble floors and stairs, so hopefully will hear a click.

I don’t have a garage. Let alone one attached.
Reason I’m asking, is I’m planning my second outing later this week. Going to sign the Book of Condolence for The Queen. Last time I had my heels in a bag, this time I want to push my comfort and safety margin a fair bit. I want to go without a backup pair in my car. No where to hide sort of thing.
Thankfully I’ve changed car recently and have a Automatic now, so no clutch pedal so driving in heels could be easier.

When you leave the house, do you:
- Leave it, fully heeled. The outfit is chosen and the heels are on full display to your neighbours and anyone else passing, or under your jeans/trousers ready to go to the car or transport of your choosing to get you to where you need to be?
- Heels in hand. Heels in a backpack or in your hands, with respect to going to the car or your transport method?
- Heels at place. Your heels are waiting for you where you want to go, like an office. Ready for you to wear them there.
- Or another way, not mentioned?
What way do you leave the house???
Thanks. -
A wonderful woman who led our country with poise and class. 15 prime ministers, 14 presidents and many other world names famous and infamous in equal measure.
One thing is for sure, we are the poorer for not having her around. King Charles will have to prove himself in quick measure.
One thing that will be something to look for over the next 10 days is the heel fashion.

There’s a bowling place here that allows you to use your own shoes if they are rubber soled. If not, you pay a £10 refundable deposit and you take your own shoes with you and you put your bowling shoes on at the lane. Each lane has a couple of lockers for putting your stuff as a group in. Last time I was there pre covid in 2019, they allowed a Christmas party of women to play with their heels on. Mad Lass Collective.

Love the look of those boots. They are very like my Nine West Caceys. A nice and comfortable to wear 4 inch heel.

Those will cause some damage, in terms of style and wallet.

Didn’t get to wear my heels. It appears I injured myself whilst watching a important football match. There will be another outing opportunity soon.

Just adapt a persona. A thick skin, and a F the world attitude. People can criticise, but just like what comes out of their arse, their criticisms can be a drizzling dump.
Anotger shoe manufacturer said it well, Just Do It.

Yeah, would love to challenge myself with pumps, but maybe boots are still a better option for the unknown...
I’d go with the boots you have in your album that you have on with your pedalboard as your background, if they have a nice zip at the side.

Heels to a Concert?
in For Everybody
Posted
It’s a gig I’ll be attending as a fan. Not one I’m performing at sadly.
