An elderly lady did her shopping and, upon returning to her car, found four males in the act of leaving with her car. She dropped her shopping bags and drew her handgun, proceeding to scream at them at the top of her voice, "I have a gun and I know how to use it! Get out of the car, scumbags !" The four men didn't wait for a second invitation but got out and ran like mad, whereupon the lady, somewhat shaken, proceeded to load her shopping bags into the back of the car and get into the driver's seat. She was so shaken that she could not get her key into the ignition. She tried and tried, and then it dawned on her why. A few minutes later she found her own car parked four or five spaces farther down. She loaded her bags into her car and drove to the police station. The sergeant to whom she told the story nearly tore himself in two with laughter and pointed to the other end of the counter, where four pale white males were reporting a car jacking by a mad elderly woman described as white, less than 5' tall, glasses, and curly white hair carrying a large handgun. jim

Those shoes are nice, but if this is to be your initial foray in public wearing heels, then I would suggest you opt for a lower heel, say, three inches, perhaps with a thicker heel and a more rounded or squarish toe. Stay with black which is a sensible color that can be worn all year round. And I strongly recommend hosiery. If you intend to wear black shoes, off-black hosiery would work best.

Love the slings Rahp,they look well made and have plenty of style...but I still have to agree with Jeff.

When I was in my late teens and went to allot of family weddings and engagement parties, my old Aunts would pinch my cheeks hard and say "You're next Jimmy!"

I grew tired of this real quick, but it soon stopped when I started doing it back to them.....at funerals.

You have some wonderful shoes in your collection....thank you for sharring them with us. jim

I agree completely Bubba, the open shoes he has chosen would clash with with a business suit for sure. Can I suggest you try a more conservative pair Raph, perhaps a closed shoe or boot with a moderate heel.Chose a pair that will blend with and compliment the clothing you plan to wear at the office.I think you will look better, and feel more confident for it. If you are having trouble putting something together, ask a female friend for advise, most women are very good at coordinating their clothing and shoes. Failing that,a trip to your favorite shoe store could be in order. Just ask one of the more mature sales women for a pair of shoes that will go with your suit.I'm sure she will be eager for the sale and will happily steer you in the right direction. Good luck….. jim

Good to see you again Laurie.

Nice boots Gene.They are what I would consider to be the ideal casual boot.They have "me" written all over them.

Shame Zappos dosen't ship down under.

i give up...................why do we even bother!

What an interesting mindset you have nhoj62.

Have you ever concidered the difference between a man who says "I have failed three times!" and the man who says "I am a failure!"

Perhaps we could all learn something from those so called, "boring athletes".

I cannot yet go into a shoe store and try on high heeled shoes or boots.

Shopping for shoes is an experience not to be missed Dawn. It’s something to be savored and enjoyed as an integral part of the whole high heel experience.

Give it a try, it won't take you long to get over your initial apprehension, of that I'm sure and then you wont look back. I bet you will find the sales girls more than help full and over time they will get to know you as more than just a "sale".

The last time I walked into my favorite Overland Footwear outlet, the store manager welcomed me with a hug and invited me for coffee..

So fear not, take the bull by the horns and go try on some heels.

Very nice boots Jim.......!! What a great style for street wear, but I have to agree with Bubba about the leg length.I wouldn't wear my jeans quite that long either. Enjoy

Thanks for the heads-up Gene.

Nice shoes Jeff,glad to hear you've decided to go with the purchase. I have procrastinated before and lived to regret it.

Nothing worse than deciding (at long last) to get those killer heels and finding they have just sold the very last pair in your size...aahhhhhhh :x :x

They are sure to be a hit,but do let us know what the girls at work think.
