On most shows with females wearing high heel its very obvious that they switch to lower heels when the action kicks in.

Yeah, I hate that so much.

It's often when there's a close up of the heels too - like when a stiletto-wearing character has just jumped off a wall and the shot changes to a flat-soled landing! So stupid.

They even do it in the movies. A classic example is Michelle Pfeiffers' catwoman in Batman Returns. Great heels for most of her shots but watch that flat-footed landing shot in the Mall!

As for Michelle Ryan - yep, shes' Babreham Lincoln alright!

She was one of the few reasons for watching that Jeckyl tosh a few weeks ago.

Is this on Countdown? They look like fetishwear to me. Too extreme and too many fussy elements to them. An unattractive colour as well. Good for her, though. She's actually still quite hot for a bird of her age. So what did the presenter have to say about them?

I would say a lot less than 1% wear heels openly.I've been keeping a look out on my travels for a couple of years,and have never seen any:cry1: ,I must have checked thousands of feet in that time though

I'd have to agree with that.

I've been 'on the lookout' for heel-wearing blokes myself for about two decades now. Outside of the HeelMeets, i've never seen any.

Cities, towns, villages, shopping malls, airports, rail stations, gig crowds, you name it.

Apart from the very occasional drag-wearing stag party member, etc. i've seen none whatsoever.

There may be many thousands of admirers and closet heelers out there, but there are a precious few street heelers.

1% would be an excellent statistic if it were accurate. It's more likely to be many times smaller than that in reality.

Hi all,

I've been reliably informed that New Look have shoes in larger sizes (i.e. over a UK 8, and in wider fittings), but I haven't yet had the chance to go in and see for myself. Have any of you UK chaps been in checked it out?

And I've seen some very nice looking shoes and boots on the Matalan website, which is rudimentary to say the least; they don't have size ranges on at all. Yes I know Matalan is very cheap, downmarket and a bit chavvy, and most of their stuff is probably make under appalling conditions somewhere, but it is cheap......

I can confirm New Look are now selling womens shoes in size 9.

I saw a display in one of their stores recently (I think it was Milton Keynes) but I didn't take a close look at what was on offer in that range as a size 7 or 8 usually does me ok.

My last purchase was a pair of size 8 suede platform ankle boots from Matalan. I didn't notice if they do anything larger though.

I was pretty impressed regarding their range TBH. Some nice looking styles in there so will definately be heading back come the January Sales.

Cabal . . . . . .

I'm down to 9 pairs of boots, having recently ebay-ed off some boots & stiletto shoes that I decided I no longer wanted/needed. They are- Kneeboots: New Look x 1; Carvela x 1; Pleaser x 1; Stead & Simpson x 1; Barratts x 1 Ankle boots: New Look x 2; Matalan x 1; cheapo market stall x 1 All of them have approx. 4" high heels (Pleasers a bit higher probably). My favorites? The Carvela's, which are absolutely divine darling, if a bit too tight on me. How many men's shoes do I own? er... 3 pairs, two of which are trainers.

Hello, good evening & welcome... Wow. Gorgeous boots. So how much did you pay for those beauties? Listed price is about £130. That's not bad for your first ever high-heel purchase! I think you should get your money's worth by posting some pics.

Perhaps one of the organizers should give a "head's up" to the local (U.K.) newspapers?

Nay, Nay and thrice Nay!

I don't fancy seeing my face in the Daily Scum under a pun-tastic banner headline such as "Dude Looks like a Lady" or whatever.

Spreading awareness is one thing, opening ourselves and our high-heeling / freestyling community(?) up to public ridicule is another.

New Look is my current fave shoe shop. Of course, that probably owes as much to the level of my spending power as much as to their range. Can't wait to do a blitz in their new year sales though. Their size 7 boots usually fit me ok. Just a tad too tight. Their size 7 shoes however are usually way tighter though - i usually need an industrial vice to pull those on. Also, I don't like their new shoe display system much - they're using horrible neon yellow/green plastic 'shoe shelves'. What taste-lacking 'interior design expert' decided to go with that?

With Fog there to draw the heat I'm surprised you didn't do heels TBH! LOL

you're right. it would have been far easier for me to try, buy and wear if Fog had been with us from the outset. He didn't catch up with us until mid afternoon though, by which time i'd missed the opportunity to buy some boots in New Look (about the only shop in Bluewater where my spending budget would have been effective!)
