I remember when Converse came out in the 60's.  You had two choices; black or white and high or low.  Then about 1972 they came out with 3 more colors; blue, red and green.  I got a blue pair.  I remember how hot the hippy chicks looked in the bell bottom jeans or cutoffs and their Converse without wearing socks.  Now there is a whole rainbow of choices and they are popular as ever.  Brings back some great memories!

Happy in Heels--Those wedges are incredible.  It,s great to find something on the clearance rack.

I've seen pictures of Springolators but have never actually seen a pair.  Then there were the slides made by Polly's of California.  They had a wood base with about a 3/4" platform and the heel was brass about halfway up.  They were big with strippers in the 50's and 60's.  They are available again through several companies.  I think they are very hot!

When I lived in CA almost 30 years ago, there would have been 2 of us. I'm back in PA now. Come to thinkof it, I didn't see any guys in heels out there either.

Wow, bet you went through some stressful time, like trying to de-fuse a bomb. It seems to be turning outwell. Good luck!

Sounds like things are well in hand. You wear what you like, AND you have a supportive wife. Have fun...

It's hard to give any more advice because you have been receiving some excellent input here.  Just take things slow and be honest, especially with yourself.  Once all this has passed it may be anywhere near as bad as what you feared.  I know things that I dreaded frequently were not as bad as I thought they would be.  Good luck! 

Hmmm, things seem to be getting a bit heavy in here.

I like your flip flops, and I have many styles of them in wedges and platforms. Plus, I wear them most of the time, weather permitting here in the Northern US.  We are a minority in hhp regarding flip flops, but I say wear 'em if you got 'em!  I like your other sandals too.

Cool sandals, yours and hers!

Love 'em!  Most of my sandals and shoes are wedges.

There is nothing better than getting a compliment on your shoes.  Thanks for sharing the experience.

I read it too, and I think I still have the book stashed away somewhere.  Good read...

I love platforms and wedges, and I have worn them since the 70's.  It was easy back then because guys wore them as much as girls--not so today, but that doesn't stop me.  One thing that is different today is that platform and wedges have remained in style for so long, which is fine with me!

How about John Mellancamp's "Pink Houses:"

 

"...Little pink houses for you and me."  Misconstrued to "...Little bitty cows for you and me."

I've been thinking about getting these since I first saw them last spring. They were on sale at 6pm, so I couldn't pass them up. Can't wait until they arrive. They are Clarks "Caslynn Cheryl"

Merry Christmas, Erica.  Glad you are doing well.  Happy New Year too!

Those wedges look great, and I like the slides too.

Do it!!  I wear clogs to work all the time.  The only question I get is "Are they comfortable?"  Frequently, I receive compliments from both men and women.  And yes, they are women's clogs just like the rest of my clogs and shoes.  My guess is that anything said will be positive.  Good luck.

If we knew of all the nuclear accidents, or near accidents, few people would support nuclear energy. Think of Three Mile Island, Chernobyl, and the most recent in Japan. Couple those with the accidents with nuclear weapons that have occurred since WWII, why do we mess with it? It's is pretty obvious that nuke plant builders can't cover every eventuality considering the accidents that I mentioned. We even build them near active earthquake faults. The plant in San Onofre, CA is one of them. Einstein worked on the Manhattan Project, and he had serious reservations about what they had created,

I can't help myself. I would go with the wedges. They look really good!

I don't think cobblestone streets are easy to navigate regardless of what shoes are worn.

Wedges are fine with me regardless who is wearing them.

Great story, especially knowing that you got under his skin. Plus, the lady was cool and bought 2 pairs as a result of your help. You'll do great there.

What is the difference between a carp and a politician? One is a scum sucking, bottom dweller; the other is a fish!
