If Dr Shoe is unable to make this heel meet I might park the car in the car park at Westfield then have a quick look in the shops at Westfield and then catch the tube to Oxford street.

that's fine by me.

At last a meet up before WHM count me in.

cool - that's a potential 5 of us.

This one?

some great heel shots in the video.

Why is there more pressure under a woman's stiletto high heel shoe than an elephants foot?

Pressure is exactly equal to force divided by surface area. If that fact is true it is because the whole elephants weight (force) is spread out over four feet of relatively large surface area. A womans weight is only on her two (smaller) feet. If she leans on the back of her high heels all the weight (force) shifts to the tiny points of the stillettos. To find out how much more pressure is on the stillettos, just take the weight divided by the approximate surface area of the high heel. But since elephants weigh up to 13000 pounds, about 100 times what a woman weighs the heels would need to be (since only two heels to an elephants 4 feet) about 50 times smaller than an elephants foot to get equal pressure so it seems possible.

It's simple physics. Check this out:-

That sounds fine by me. Will you be wearing heels?

maybe - at some point in the day .

i will certainly have some with me and be thinking of wearing them .

Meet up at the Argyll Arms pub, Argyll Street? - It's right next to Oxford Circus Tube station. say 12:00 noon. If you wanted to meet for a coffee first instead, there's a Costa in the same street.

nobody like ?

I don't like the peep-toe shoes. I don't like peep-toes full stop.

The blue ones brought back memories - i once made "sweet lurve" to a girlfriend whilst wearing her shoes & underwear. The shoes looked just like those! :wave:

You could try lubricating them with either clear silicone gun oil or sewing machine oil which does not stain cloth

Two years between posts!!!

Hopefully chris100575 got his problem sorted a wee while ago & hasn't been holding out for that response :wave:

They won't last long. They'll be worn down within a couple of miles & probably completely gone by the 10 mile mark. If you're lightweight (8 stone or less), you might get a bit more life out of them, but not much - it's basically the abrasion against the pavement which destroys them. Yep, you should definitely get some metal tips fitted. they will make a nice clicking sound as you walk too!

Another "heel-bias" story in the Daily Mail.

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-1236163/Michelle-Heaton-falls-flat-face-unveils-slick-stylish-attractive-Ford-Fiesta.html

Michelle clearly stumbled down a hidden step (she twists her right ankle) - her heels are clearly of a normal/modest height. Yet the Mail has to highlight "her huge high heels". Absolute journalistic bilge.

That said, Michelle herself blamed the heels - the daft bint!

I have a feeling that second hand women's shoes are more interesting than new ones. What do you think?

Nah, not to me they're not.

Possession of a brand new pair of expensive shoes/boots gives me a modest 'high' and a 'pride of ownership' feeling - presumably the same sort of emotions that shoe-fanatic women get.

Buying a used pair doesn't produce that feeling at all - quite the opposite.

I think there one on Bond street but not on Oxford Street.

There are two on Oxford Street

---Oxford Circus - http://www.next.co.uk/storesearch.asp?location=london&storename=LONDON+-+OXFORD+CIRCUS

---Marble Arch - http://www.next.co.uk/storesearch.asp?location=&storename=LONDON+-+MARBLE+ARCH

If it is possible would like to go into next on our shopping trip.

No problem. Most high streets have one.

Would it be Blade Runner.

Correct - award yourself a gold star!

i'll give you a clue: 'a sci-fi movie starring harrison ford' - no, it's not Star Wars!

Here is a couple of links to the lovely young Dakota Fanning on the Jay Leno Show. She is wearing some incredible gladiator inspired high heeled sandals. Enjoy!

And if anyone as any info on the shoes that would be much appreciated.

videos now taken down

Nah, stiletto + thin is the way to go!

wunderbar! - - - including myself, that's 4 potential attendees already i'm also attempting to 'cross-pollinate' this event with the Heels4Men site - will keep you updated on that.

buenas noches, fellow heelers... Is anyone interested in a post-xmas get together during week of 28-12-09? i'm thinking that wednesday 30th would be the best day -28th & 29th = crazy with sales shoppers & xmas still not quite "over" (yes, 30th still crazy but hopefully a bit less so) - 31st = New Years eve so people probably have other things planned - 1st = New Years day (sleeping off the excesses of 31st?) Venue - somewhere in central london. maybe Oxford Street and/or a large shopping centre (but not Westfield, for reasons I shan't go into here). itinery - eating, drinking, sales shopping & more drinking. heel-wearing to be optional but heartily endorsed time & length of meet - to suit the attendees basically. BTW - i'm not "arranging" this meet, i'm just suggesting it. Post your thoughts & suggestions here, or PM me if you want to chew-the-fat in more detail.

Is this the normal situation?, were you not wearing any either?

Normal for me, certainly.

I always have heels with me, I just need the time & place to "be absolutely right" before I can endulge myself.

I have worn them during previous heelmeets - under long trousers- including a Reading shopping centre, Oxford Street (at night time) & many indoor locations (Dept. stores, pubs & restaurants).

I am still a virgin as far as full-daylight, high street wearing goes.

Another one today ---- the B***S*** just keeps on flowing!

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-1223739/Paris-Hilton-leads-Hollywood-Pumpkin-Patch-pack-wearing-high-heels-course.html

I rest my case.......

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1230181/Girl-16-killed-slipping-train-platform-ran-alongside-moving-carriage-high-heels.html

It's a tragic story obviously - but quite why the Daily Mail needs to add such a bull***t angle to it is anybody's guess.

They definately seem to have some sort of 'heel' fetish going on at that paper. So many of their stories highlight the high heel aspect or make unnecessary mention of heels. That's aside from the "stories" they print which are based on nothing else at all other than the "Posh wears stilettos in the cinema shocker!" variety.

A few weeks ago they featured that story about the two drunken morons (in Cardiff IIRC) picking on a couple of dress-wearing cage fighters & getting thumped. The paper mentioned how the cage fighters "tottered away on their heels" yet the CCTV footage (accompanying the story) showed that they were only wearing trainers. Total BS again from the Mail.

Just what is their constant fixation I wonder!?!

Reminds me of this...

"is this man injured?"

These?

There was one at the Bull Ring a few years back (before I joined). I reckon we're well overdue for another meeting there.
