Hi All At the suggestion of Dawn HH I thought I would introduce myself. I started off on the wrong foot, by posting in the girls forum it was moved to "Everyone" and now I can't seem to find my post at all!!! I have been guest on this board for many a year, but have never really thought about posting. Anyway, like the rest of you I like high heels, but why? I think it is because when I was younger my parents were always logical and never let me have the latest fashions, everything had to be practical. I always remember wanting a pair of Dunlop Green Flash trainers and my dad saying no, you can get a perfectly good pair of plimsoles in BHS!!! I also do a logical job, IT, so I like the fact that high heels are: 1) Not practical. 2) Not sensible. 3) Worn for looks not comfort. 4) Are sexy I recall someone writing on a site, how they compared a woman in high heels to an antelope carefully tip toeing across the mountainside, elegant but at the same time fragile and cautious. My wife likes to wear high heel ankle boots in the winter, but tends to wear lower heel sandals in the summer and often teases me that I enjoy winter more than summer. Anyway, I hope that's a good starter for ten.

Hi All

Although I have just joined, I have been a lurker on this board for many a year, so I feel I know many of you well.

This might be a mistake as my first post, but moderators please bare with me, I do feel this is the correct place to ask this question.

I am a man in the girls forum, but I am asking about my wife and only wish female replies, I hope this fits in with the rules?

We were in Aldo the other week and my wife said she quite liked these http://www.aldoshoes.com/us/women/pumps/peep-toe/78033099-vanhove/28 (We're in the UK, but they appear to have been removed from the UK site).

This was a real surprise to me, because tha absolute max heel she wears in 4" and normally on an ankle boot with jeans.

So, I bought them for her as an Easter present, but now she has them, she is concerned that "she will look like mutton dressed as lamb" I'm not sure if you have that expression in the US?

If she wears heels in the summer, it is normally with long cotton trousers, so that she doesn't show much leg. She is aged 45 and varies between as size 16 / 18 (US 14/16). Now to wear these, she will probabably need even longer cotton trousers and none of her other shoes will be high enough to wear with those trousers.

So girls, can you give me any fashion tips as to what would go well with these shoes and still fit with my wifes concience that she is no longer a spring chicken and over weight (I don't intend to be rude, these are her words.)

Regards

HHadict.
