Hi All, Posted new gallery pics of different looks in wedges, chunky heels, or boots. Had trouble adding comments to each pic so I chose this way. My phone camera tends to enlarge the file size so when I resize it to meet the guidelines some detail is lost. The one style I’d like to post is of pumps which I don’t have in AZ. Maybe I’ll look for some past pics. HinH

I agree stilettos are not likely seen in very informal places like fast food joints or normal stores. It’s much more likely in a large city on the weekends or in other parts of the world such as Latin America or SE Asia. HinH

It’s been a while since I sat on a stool and hooked my stilettos on the crossbar but yes that is a thing to mind. I’ve worn stiletto heels various places but only once was I seated on a stool. HinH

Hi All, Interesting topics indeed. As to your son’s car the mechanical issues don’t surprise me but it is quite the chance for him to show his ability to work through it. As for inspection Wisconsin nor Arizona have vehicle inspections. There is an emissions check every 2 years in the counties bordering Lake Michigan but not elsewhere. There is an emissions check in the Phoenix area but not out here in Yuma. As to shoes which formerly fit but which now feel different let me offer a possibility. I have noticed over the last five years or so some of my heels fit a bit differently and I believe it is because of water retention in my feet and ankles. Not terrible but subtle differences that the vamp and certain types of straps seem to fit more snugly than before. I have used a shoe stretcher on those I really liked but have worn knee high hose or even trouser socks recently. It is worth considering this may be the cause for some of you. HinH

They look good on you whatever you call them. I realize nearly all of my heels which I consider more stiletto than not fit your description of “near stiletto” because at first glance that is what they look like. I think a near-stiletto or stiletto-like heel has become popular as it offers much the same look with more stability. One thing I’ve noticed over the years is heel wearing has strengthened my calves which has helped me whether playing baseball or football from time to time. It’s nice to still have decent footwork at 64. Keep your stride buddy. HinH
