No, the skirt or dress and coat is way too long.😇

 

If the dress or skirt is too short i would need a second lipstick.

But she will not wear any damaged heels for the opera, or a christmas brunch, or an anniversary.

And for sure not when being photographed. The heels on pictures have to shine!

To me boot season is when it is cold. Putting on boots if not needed is an effort i try to avoid. On second thought i also like to show off my legs in nylons.

Nobody will guaranty that a specific size will fit your feet. But if they don´t fit you can send them back and have them exchanged for a larger/smaller size.

I have done that many times, sometimes even twice. A shoe has to fit!

Excuse me stewardess, will we be landing soon???  Flying makes me nervous....   

Can you imagine these guys wearing high heels, especially stilettos?

Helen

There is no general idea of how a man should look, it is the overall package that makes the impression. I would not want to see the plumber or electrician doing his work in my house wearing any kind of heels. On the other hand i have met many heelwearing men , and with the right outfit it can look very good. Have a look at spikemikes picture in the "Best Dressed HHPlacer of 2021" thread, that is a good combination.

Most of my heels are around 5", but i can take 6" for a few hours like going to the opera or theater.

7"? I can walk in these for short distances but it will not look gracefully. I can however sit gracefully in 7" heels, and lying works as well. But to me 7" is clearly fetish-territory.

There is a big difference between boots and stilettoes. From my experience i can tell you that expensive stilettoes wear out as fast as cheap ones, the ones with metal-tips are more durable than the plastic-tipped ones. Plastic-tips can be ruined with a few outings. Whereas good boots with a chunky heel can stay alive for long, long times. Boots with stilettoe heels with wear out quick as well.

But my wife would kill me if i demanded she has to be in any heels for 24hours! 😉

Being in heels 24 hours would kill me as well!

As much as I love exotic heels, they're a no-go i the office. The professional business woman will stick with 2" to 3" heels, 4"absolute max, no platform, closed toe, no bright colors. On occasion, peep--toes may be okay. Regardless of choice, they must be comfortable enough to wear all day, and walk in them all day, without having to kick them off, or slip into flats (tacky!).

That is so true, but i would skip the peeptoes as well. If you want to make an impact use 4", if you want to stay low profile, which is sometimes needed, stick to 2".

Hi helen it's my favourite  type of heel

Mine too!

Womens shoes of size 40 and above will be sold out in stores pretty fast, whereas the sizes 37 and smaller will be sitting on the shelfs for ages until they are sold for reduced prices like 3 for the price of 1.

I think we can assume when it comes to sizing there will be 3 universal constants:

• Shoemakers will continue focusing on the 36 to 41 segment of the market as if larger sized women don't exist
• Equally Italian shoemakers will just refuse to accept that people with wide feet exist
• We will sooner solve the mysteries of the Nazca lines, the Bronze Age collapse and whether or not the universe is in for a heath death, big freeze or big crunch versus finally solving the mystery of Chinese shoe sizes.

There is nothing to add to that conclusion, as sad as it is.

There is however one exception, that is sports shoes. They are available in larger sizes as well, so all larger women must be the sporty type.

So in short: I'm really confused but I'm somewhat closer to buying a pair. Maybe on the edge of buying.

Do yourself a favour and buy some Moris, just make sure you order a 41 when you need a 40.

There are no better shoes for gardenwork than crocs, i do love them in the garden. But i would not dare to go outside in crocs. And i do not see crocs worn by other people outside. What i see is sneakers, and now that summer is gone the colour seems to shift from white to black. And with young girls ballet flats start to trickle in, i do hope this trend continues

Are these heels with spurs? If that is true it is the first time i see the combination.

Sizing is irrelevant, especially in heels. In daily use i am a european 41, and in sneakers and flats and kittenheels that works OK. But my high heels range from 39 to 43 to fit my feet. And a friend offered my her extreme 7" heels because they were to large for her size 38, but even for my feet they were at least 2 numbers too large. I guess it was a manufacturing mistake, these shoes were stamped with the wrong size 6.5!

Good morning Mike!

You could post that picture also in the "Best Dressed ..." thread, it would fit well in there.

Oh!   There’s more ?

Of course there is more, that is a fact! Here is all of me:

Heels and cargo pants:

Hobble skirts or dresses are good if you want to look adorable and i have some for that purpose. But i prefer swinging skirts which give you a fresher, younger look.

Ladies how do you carry your high heels to and from work?

Since i needed to go to work by car i changed to flats while driving. I am able to drive in heels but i am a better driver in flats. And driving in heels is a sure way to ruin the heels of a shoe, at least in our car.

Keep posting pictures and nobody will notice any errors!

Thank You, i will try my best!

There is enough self-confidence in me to wear heels just for the look!
