I go the dance belt route.  No, they don't flatten the bulge.  They are more like a brassiere smoothing out the explicit details and providing support.   But With the likes of Errol Flynn gracing the screen in "Robin Hood", Burt Lancaster doing likewise in "The Crimson Pirate" and widespread annual performances of "The Nutcracker", it has a solid track record of enabling thin skin tight bottoms to earn a family friendly "G" rating.

I do like idea of using tunic length tops to cover the area.  It starts working the "what I'm not showing" mystique that my wife disapproves of as too racy.  Its practice by the ladies does get me going and like my mama always said to me: "Turn about is fair play".

I love them. The best pair of slippers I've ever owned.

As someone who has the pair of tall ultra-uggs he bought 10 years ago, and are still using them in just that capacity tonight, I have to agree with that statement.

As for looks, the design really could be summed up as the cheap mockery of a cut rate mukluk. But being designed to be worn without socks, toasty warm in the winter, surprisingly non sweaty in the summer, cosy enough to be the first on coming out of bed, and sturdy enough to make the trip to the mailbox, their utilitarian benefits kind of start to add up.

As an outdoor boot, they are about as water repellent as your average sponge. The one good bit of news is that they will keep your feet toasty warm all day in the cold, and it takes quite a bit of wet to wreck that. The insulation is good enough that after about 5 minutes or so in 20F (-6C) weather, the outside will become cold enough that snow stops melting and getting absorbed. Of course, if you're looking to go out into the snow, that time lag can be an eternity.

It may be time for some shoe shopping....

On crutches, they tend to want you to bend the leg of the broken ankle to keep the cast from touching the ground. I'd see this as a good opportunity to try putting a few inches of heel on the remaining good foot to facilitate not having put effort to keep the broken one airborne.

On another note, when I cracked my right ankle a couple of years ago, I wound up in one of their "walking boots" I found that my cowboy boots with the 2" heel re-equalized my gait.

The way the gun outline was incorporated just didn't work for me. It was like it was just screwed to a stock platform with bandoleer style embellishments added to the straps in a vain attempt round out the look.

When I was going through driving school in my teenage years, I remember the girls telling each other that their high heels should get swapped out for flats when driving for safety reasons, especially when doing their road test. On that I think it all boils down to being able to solidly put the foot to the brake in a swerving panic, and a flat foot provides a better margin when aiming for that pedal. Otherwise, there were no written restrictions involving heel height or style when behind the wheel regardless of gender. Also, the laws here in the states that banned the wearing of clothes "assigned" to the opposite gender were long ago considered 19th century relics and subsequently repealed. As for opinions from the cops I know, they don't care. It isn't illegal. It is not harmful to anyone around you. It really falls into the "don't care" category. In general, they've seen and dealt with conditions that are far, far worse. Their concern only starts if it puts you at risk of injury. Otherwise, like the song says. "It's your thing, do what you want to do"

This question should be on I.Q tests. For anyone that believes that there is ANY link between footwear choice and sexuality, it is a miracle that they are able to even construct a sentence that portrays their stupidity

I often think that there are two kinds of morons, those that lack the capacity to think and those that just choose not to.

Stereotypes are just a tools to allow someone to characterize another without thinking.

The denim skirt is a casual look to begin with. Consequently most of the casual wear that go well with a pair of jeans will match. My preference is one notch (or so) above the usual t-shirt.

I think the Hawaiian shirt style works.

An other alternative is to go with one of the canvas or chamois cloth shirts, especially when the temperatures start to drop a little. I have one like this (below) in red.

When I read the title to this thread, the first thing that came to mind was the movie "Single White Female". After reading that clipping, I wonder if it is life imitating art.

Getting a real high heeled leg lamp under the tree seems a better deal

A friend of mine who grew up with diabetes passed along the following bit of trivia from his endocrinologist: Even if lack of hair doesn't indicate a lack of good circulation in the feet, hair on the tops of the toes do indicate good circulation there. Having a family history of diabetes, the rest of the hair on my feet may go, but those little follicles on the tops of the toes are my reassurance that I still have decent circulation down there.

Bought the Natasha seamed boot from the Avenue.

They fit reasonably well and I then spent the next hour or so wearing them around Walmart without incident. As my permissions open up (I get past newbie status), pictures will come along.

In general, (excluding costs), my preference is leather, even if it is in the a minority at the bottom of my closet. Due to economic reasons, however, the stuff in my price range seems to all be in the "man made uppers" category. That mirror like gloss of patent leather, however, really does give it an appeal all its own.

I'm with Bubba136 on this one. He is trying to harm you by capitalizing on a perception of gender based bias. By doing so, he presents a gender bias (bigoted nature) of his own. When questioned on your motivations, be honest and straightforward. For example, here are some of my own reasons for wearing high heels, skirts (etc): For a long time I have been absolutely enchanted by certain looks. They include tall boots, skirts, and also effect that high heels have on posture and presentation of the lower leg. I like seeing people dressed in these kinds of clothes and want to see more of it. By wearing them myself, I am putting my money where my mouth is. It also dispels, in the strongest manner, any assumption that I might be objectifying or degrading women. In short I think the look(s) are sexy and I'm doing it to promote the look without coercion. I'm also doing it to to promote equality between men and women. Our society shouldn't be saddled with stereotypes based on a person's sex. When I do it, it is with absolute and positive confidence, and a sense of ownership over my actions. Without it, I might as well just hide in among the masses, jealous or fearful of anyone who stands out. That sense of confidence is remarkably empowering. Doing it with that confidence makes me feel free.

Hi All, I've been somewhat of an intermittent freestyler for quite a few years and after registering and lurking for a few days, I have to say that the supportive nature of this forum is very endearing. This, of course, is in addition to the attractive nature of high heels themselves. I really like the high heeled look. And a person who likes to first lead by example (e.g: don't ask unless you are willing to do it yourself), it has even inspired me to start looking at doing some more shoe shopping, this time a little more focused on some "well heeled" footwear.
