On the right woman the pumps would be lovely. Otherwise they're not to my taste. The boots don't do anything for me at all.

The shoes will go well with a business suit, whether skirt or slacks. At your size (which I think is perfect) 3" is like a 2" heel on a size 6. You are a very attractive lady. I hope you can improve your self-image. Good luck after college.

My favorites: Teri Garr Geena Davis Sophia Loren Jackie O Diana Guess that shows my age but class lasts.

I think the shoes are very sexy. Its just that some of the models look uncomfortable in them.

I will check out a woman's shoes in a heartbeat ( which is about how much time I have when she is visiting). If I am at her place I will try to be circumspect but I WILL look.

Red Shoe Diaries was a series on Showtime. There were a lot of very erotic episodes.

When do you get promoted?

Sizes vary by maker and style. Shoes at a store like Payless run larger than 9West. Pumps at Payless run smaller than flats. Hope you can find a way to try before you buy.

I'm not a boot person but I would love to be able to wear pumps (courts) and slings in flat to mid-height heels. I have no interest in going out like that at this time though.

I'm trying to get promoted too. I want to get to 4'" sandals.

My suggestion. Only approach a woman if you have seen her wearing heels more than once or twice. You can't expect a woman to change her taste just for you. It sounds like you don't really accept yourself and your tastes in shoes and you wind up projecting that onto your mates.

Should be ready to advance soon. I want some sexy shoes!

Too many is two more pairs than I already have.

I'd love to be able to wear 2inch pumps, wedge or heel for all day comfort.

A "shrimper" is one who likes to suck toes. Fairly straightforward, I think.

Try Classic Pumps at http://www.classicpumps.com

They have a wonderful selection. And check out the testimonials while you're there!

I'm trying for some wedges maybe.

If you go to http://www.paylessshoesource.com you can see what styles and sizes are available and if your local store doesn't have them you can order them for pickup there. That's assuming you know your size. Payless shoes tend to run larger and wider in size than most other womens' shoes. I can wear almost any style from there in a 10W, anywhere else I have to get an 11.

I remember several years ago when Kathy Levine was on QVC. A caller had complained about uncomfortable heels. Kathy replied something like this: "I love stiletto heels, you put them on, they have their effect and after 20 minutes you take them off. You don't have to walk anywhere in them." I fell in lust with Kathy at that moment. I wish more women had her wisdom.

I discovered long ago that women's shoes fit me better than men's. Take your ordinary penny loafer. If I can find a men's narrow there is a good chance I can find a good fit where my heel doesn't slip out every time I take a step. A woman's 11B fits me perfectly, length, width and heel cup.

Not every shoe style looks good on every woman. A thin woman with narrow feet can be extremely attractive to me wearing a short dress or skirt and kitten-heel sandals. Most of the kitten-heel pumps I see are ugly by themselves but on the right woman become very attractive.

I've always been attracted to womens' shoes. My earliest memories are about pumps. I was always jealous that my sister could get "pretty" shoes to wear but I had to get boots or oxfords. I always felt that somehow my attraction to ladies' shoes and feet was wrong and everything I heard about "shoe freaks" was negative. It was only when I discovered the internet and newsgroups that I was able to hear from others and discover that I was not so odd after all.
