Based upon the tile work and rougher cement the photo appears to be somewhere very warm like in the tropics. Nice sentiment indeed. The best report on high heels is the one about the ones on your own feet! HappyinHeels

mlroseplant, Yep, lucky guy to get the attention of heel-wearing women on your own heels. AS far as church goes, any one smart knows any "judging" is left to the Lord. I think most women appreciate nice things no matter whom is wearing them. It seems this woman is just such a person. It has happened to me though not as often as it has to you. More proof more of us need to just get out there and do our thing in the heels of our choice. HappyinHeels

vector, I don't know. He and I haven't talked about that since I was in the store that day. He was at his land last weekend as was I but we didn't see each other. My entire goal was to reach some of our members. SOme of the people he would have reached may have been there. I'll find out though. I know both CAT and myself were not going to be there but that may change in the near future. The next date I am thinking of is Saturday the 2nd of September. I'll call him and we'll chat.

Mr X, You will be noticed in shorts like that. It may be warm there right now but it's not like you're in Florida or Southern California where shorts are ubiquitous this time of year. Just seeing some wedges outside a major population centre is cause for celebration. Perhaps you could have pursued the conversation a bit more but I don't think it was meant to be. JUst a pleasant acknowledgement of one another. You'll know when something more substantial comes along and is meant to be. All good things will eventually come to those willing to wait their turn. I commend you on a perfect wedge to handbag match. That stuff really matters and I believe this is what drew the woman's attention in the first place. HappyinHeels

SkirtDude, I'm a bit confused on something. Who is the guy in a dress and sandals in front of an NBC (Channel 4) affiliate? THey don't have NBC in Great Britain but a Brit is posting it. Were you just over here in the USA and saw this where you were staying?? I'm not sure what the news story was exactly. The guy looks like he would blend into most urban landscapes as he seems passable. Thoughts? HappyinHeels

All, I too have seen/heard of Cali's way and the up the back in a straight line method perpendicular to the floor. Keep in mind also as most of our membership wears heels in sizes larger than 8.5 one has to consider the actual heel height will somewhat higher. Figure about 0.25"/0.6cm in size 10US and 0.5"/1.25cm in size 12 US. So, if you and your date partner are not thinking about this, you will higher than she/he without realizing it. This is no small point as it can make a heel of a difference :). Confide before you stride! HappyinHeels

Old Mountain, Fascinated by your Arctic work. The mountains, are they in Norway north of the CIrcle?? I realize Norway is insanely mild along the coast for its latitude but the Ntimer line away from the coast has got to be quite low, say at 1500 m or so?? One day, my wife and I will drive all the way to NordKapp and watch the northern Lights. Take care and stay warm...those nine months a year. HappyinHeels

Hey Jeff, You know we're liking your outfits, your obviously summer outfits, and yet we still see you in front of the curtain INSIDE. Imagine how the bright colors will pop outdoors. Hin H

mlroseplant, Nice wedges and, like you said. nothing over the top. Sometimes it's simple things like that which draw the most appreciation. I'd say some of wedges have gotten the most positive reaction. Not quite what the "Carlow" heels in my avatar have gotten though. They're not so subtle which maybe is the allure. ANyway, YOU, look very avant garde for the Des Moines area. HappyinHeels

This isn't about us or even the ladies. Today's world of mergers is always great news for stock holders but usually bad news for the consumer. Fewer companies means less competition means greater chance of collusion to mess with consumer choice. Service and products don't get any better but prices for the same things go up. Just watched TimeWarnerCable get renamed "Spectrum" and they are not reinventing themelves. They are regurgitating themselves. Same stock choices, same bureaucracy, and same high prices. This particular deal takes a company with great designs at normally too high prices buying another company at ridiculous prices only those in gated liberal cocoons take seriously. For the rest of us it is news filler, like background noise, lots of blah blah and little of value to the rest of us. HappyinHeels

Kneebooted, Let's not forget this all takes place in a house of worship. It matters not what you wore on your feet to get into that house of worship. It matters immensely you showed up to worship HIM. That is the whole premise of fellowship. Virtually all faiths hold only a supreme being may judge any one of us. Better to so judged standing up than on your knees cowing to onlookers. Lest anyone there forget: all are welcome who are there to worship. You have indeed cleared a big hurdle. Lift your head and move forward for you have their attention and, I hope, mutual respect. The content of one's character, the visible side of your soul, is what matters and not the shoes on one's feet. HappyinHeels

w6ish, If you had seen me you would have seen my salt and pepper hair which is about as long as yours. I suppose you could colour it and it would go better with your mega-heels. Then again, your outfits attract enough attention that your hair is a sidebar. By the way, is that a gravel local road you are pictured on??? That could be tricky in heels of that height. Maybe it's the lighting. I know, from experience, Canada is not as intent on paving as many rural roads as the USA is. Many rural roads here should never have been paved. It is way cheaper in the long run and you have better traction in the winter on gravel rural roads. I do like your height selections! HappyinHeels

LovesHiHeels, Agree with ROnC in that the stocking tops should be hidden by the length of the dress or skirt. If you're going to RHPS then there are no rules at all. I love dresses and much prefer above-the-knee styles so I would always wear thigh-high pantyhose. Otherwise I wear knee-highs which are cumfy and are good for trying on shoes: easier off and on with pantyhose. And yes, my friend, Steve63130 knows the owners of Activskin quite well. I'd even say he has a "fitted" interest in the company. When your heels are really high you can see more! HappyinHeels

krazyhusband, After reading the whole thread I see the head-scratching others are doing....digitally of course. You have the support of your family and you wear your heels to work. While most of us would love to have universal family support the vast majority of us cannot wear heels to work for reason which have nothing to courage. You have the biggest venue hurdles behind you and are concerned about anonymous passersby. If you were living in a tiny and remote town or island nation I may understand it but then again if the family and work had seen you then whole community would know it too. Others are exactly correct when they say you must divorce yourself from the idea you are do doing anything wrong. A guy can wear a high heel in virtually any country you can think (minus the usuall suspects) of and not be doing anything illegal by statute. Remember you are wearing what you enjoy and when you put those shoes on they were YOUR shoes. Don't let anonymous bogeymen convince they are WOMEN'S shoes. You're not a child but an adult. The clothes and shoes and accessories are on your body by choice. You need only step outside with the same confidence you display with your family and your workplace. Confidence brings the world in and vanquishes the anonymous bogeymen who never quite materialize anyway. Look how few women wear noticeable heels everyday. The ones who do are not worried about what uninformed passersby think. Only what is said in a positive way should be remembered and appreciated. Put those heels on, stride forward, and open the doors unto the world. Make them meet you on your terms! HappyinHeels

you already know you really like them so quit making roadblocks between you and boot paradise. They are waiting for you. They are calling you. "These boots were made for walking and I'm going to walk all over you." Practice makes perfect no matter the heel type. Practice in other high heels so you can enjoy selective time in these new ones.
