Hello Sharon, Yesterday I wore opaque black pantyhose with my charcoal grey skirt suit and black knee high boots with 3" heel. Today, being Friday, we get to dress casual so for work, I wore a cardigan with skinny jeans and a pair of very low heel riding boots that go to my knees. Under my skinny jeans, I have on a pair of silky white pantyhose and inside my boots, I have on a pair of thick pink wool socks. I have gotten used to layering. I am wearing almost no heels to work with my riding boots because this evening, I will go party with my friends and then I can save myself for wearing sky high heels at the party Sharon, you mentioned that when you get home, you take off your boots and drain the water out. Do you keep your wet pantyhose on or do you switch to a pair of dry pantyhose? Sharon, I take it at home you walk around in just your pantyhose without your boots usually? ........ You also mentioned in a previous post that you sleep with your pantyhose and boots on. From a person who wears both pantyhose, wool socks and knee high boots on a daily basis, I know that can get very warm. Do you usually wake up with your pantyhose and boots still on if you go to bed with them on? Have a nice weekend everyone, Heidi

Hello Sharon, It is a cold rainy day here on the German side of the North Sea. It is only +14C today. I had a presentation to do today at work and I wanted to look good. I chose a charcoal grey skirt suit, opaque pantyhose, thick pink wool socks hidden inside my footwear and knee high black boots with a 3" heel. I carried an umbrella - a really cute umbrella with Hello Kitty ears - as I walked from the car park to the office entrance but I already got splashed by the rain and the puddles outside. Good thing the block heels on this pair of boots gives me good stability on slippery surfaces. After getting into the office and after getting home, I have always been wiping my boots dry as water droplets were all over them. Glad these boots help keep the water out so I was nice and dry for my presentation. Sharon, it does sound like you are getting yourself very wet at work by pouring water down your boots and wetting your tights. When you get home, do you use a hair dryer to air dry your pantyhose? I am imagine if you wore ankle boots, there might be puddles of water at the base of your workstation. Hopefully the water won't short out any circuits to knock out the entire computer network at your office Heidi

Hello Alexa, Sharon, Jane, Alexa, it sounds like you sure had a weekend of adventure, going with your bf to a beach in western Wales, wading into the ocean up to mid-thigh while wearing jeans and court shoes! Then you convinced two others to play in the ocean wearing tights and ballet flats. Very impressive. I am wondering if one of the two girls who went into the ocean with you was our very own Jane here How long does it take to dry your court shoes Alexa? If you do not put it in the dryer, I am guessing your jeans might still be wet today? I saw the link of the celebrity Coco dipping her wedge heel sandals into the water. How very daring! Sharon, did you end up pouring water into your knee high boots and onto your 140 denier pantyhose? Don't your feet go into shock when one moment, they are very warm inside a pair of boots and thick pantyhose, the next moment, they are surrounded by icy cold water? Heidi

Alexa, do you find that open toe boots breathe very very well,? Congrats on trying something new! I don't have a pair yet but who knows what the future holds.

Love your Hell Coleccion boots Alexa! They've got style, they've got attitude and the platforms combined with the heels can really make a person look tall!

Thank you - I certainly will. They look like this

http://demonia-newrock.co.uk/contents/en-uk/p11950.html so from my point of view there’s a great deal to enjoy.

Alexa

Wouldn't be the first time shows have been removed for similar, I would have taken shoes off with or without people around. Much better than broken neck.

Have I removed shoes for poor footpaths, deep muddy grounds yep. Also been given a piggy back by hubby, not easy or elegate in a fitted dress.

You even took your heels off outdoors? Did you end up with ripped pantyhose or ruined socks that way?

Great idea Alexa! While wearing heels is glamorous, for the sake of my health, I should go around my house after work in either my Uggs or just my pantyhose. That way, my feet would get a chance to recover so that they are capable of flats or high heels.

Hi Alexa, Jane, Sharon, Good to see everyone here almost at the same time Jane, it sounds like you turned that birthday lunch with your friend into quite the adventure by going for a stroll in the North Sea! With the warm summers, I know that a lot of people like to enjoy time at the beach and frolic in the water. Doing it with both your tights and your court shoes on Jane, is a totally different experience. Do the tights help keep you warmer when the sea water is very cold? Do wet tights get super slippery in courts or does the water give you a better grip? Alexa, what did you do with your bf over the weekend? What heels do you like to wear when on dates with your bf? Sharon, based on your last two posts, I guess your shoe selection is pretty evenly spread out between your trainers, courts, Uggs and your dress boots? ...... It is interesting to see another person sleep in pantyhose as well! Have you ever gone to bed with your courts, trainers or boots on? Thanks to everyone who replied to my question about choice of footwear for clubbing. In the end, I with with a pair of thick black pantyhose on the inside and a pair of thick suntan pantyhose on the outside, a pair of thick wool socks for padding and my knee high leather boots with fur lining. All that padding made dancing in 3" heels a lot more comfortable as I was dancing for a lot of time I spent at the club and did not get home until really late. When I got home, I managed to wash my face, remove my makeup, brush my teeth and was almost totally out of energy. I managed to make it to my bed, partially remove my dress and I was so tired, I fell asleep without removing my knee high fur lined boots. The next morning, my other group of friends who did not go clubbing came over to pick me up to go have brunch and go to the beach. When they rang the doorbell, I managed to change into a nice very long, flowing summer dress, grabbed my hang bag, a towel and off I went to brunch and the beach. I was still wearing my two layered pantyhose, wool socks and fur lined knee high boots with 3" heels from the night before but the summer dress covered up most of my boots so only the heel is very visible. We went out and had a nutritious brunch and went off to the beach. While my friends played on the beach, I lay on a long beach chair in the shade, lay down and slept. My friends tried to get me in the water but I refused, I didn't even bring a bathing suit. I just wanted to sleep. I ended up unzipping my boots and sleeping in peace. If Jane, Alexa & Sharon were there and I was awake enough, I would have changed into a bikini to go in the water and watch you three play in the water in your heels Heidi

Hello Sharon, Going to work in your wet boots really does sound like an adventure! At the office, did you leave your wet boots on all day or did you unzip them to let them air dry faster? How dry were your pantyhose when you got home after being cooped up in soaking wet boots all day? It is evening now and I am about to go clubbing with my girlfriends. I've already got a hot dress picked out with a twirly skirt. I have opted to go with a pair of thick black pantyhose on the inside and a pair of thick suntan pantyhose on the outside. Now I am thinking, given the fact the weather is hot today and it will be even hotter inside the dance club, should I wear a pair of thick wool socks for padding and my knee high leather boots with fur lining? If I do, I will likely sweat and get damp pantyhose. Or should I go with just two pairs of pantyhose and my low heeled pumps? What do you girls think? Heidi

Hi everyone, Sharon, it is great having you on this list and as a friend to myself, Alexa & Jane. You really have a lot of very creative ideas and certainly know how to have fun. Alexa, did you try adding water to your boots at work today? If so, which pair of boots did you add water to? Sharon, did you end up wearing the pair of knee high boots you wore in your swimming pool to work today? Were your 140 denier pantyhose able to keep most of the moisture away from your skin? Sharon, wearing your black 3.5" kitten heel knee length leather boots with 2 pairs of 140 denier matt opaque soft winter tights, black skinny fit very tight jeans over tights with a belt, a fitted cotton/lycra tee top, with ared roll neck fitted jumper, bra, panties and a leather jacket is a LOT of clothes to go swimming in! Were you still able to float with so much clothes on??? ....... Did you use any water toys like an air mattress? I am also super curious, with so much clothes on, were you able to do things like the front crawl, back crawl, breast stroke or butterfly? If so, what challenges do you face trying those with so much clothes on? Today, at work, I wanted to wear really high heels, so I chose a pair of knee high fur lined boots with a 2" platform and a 5" heel. I wore this with a colourful summer dress. I also wore two pairs of thick denier 80 pantyhose and a pair of thick wool socks inside the boots for padding. I had forgotten to check the weather report. It has been cool, hovering between +15C to +22C the last few days but today, the temperature skyrocketed to a blistering hot +29C! Needless to say, it got very hot inside my fur lined leather boots. I remember Sharon's idea of pouring water inside boots although I know that is not for me. My pantyhose and even my wool socks got damp with sweat. I had considered removing my wool socks but then my boots, which I bought a size larger to accommodate a lot of padding, would be loose. I have been wearing boots so much this year that I feel almost like I left home without my bra on, if I am outside of home without my boots. However, the hot temperatures won me over and come noon time, I had to surrender my boots as well as my wool socks and was wearing a spare pair of pumps with 2" heels to accommodate the hot weather. I hid my damp wool socks in my office drawer hoping no one would find them there. But with the heat today, I know what it is like to have moisture inside ones boots as it was sweat I had inside my fur lined boots today. I now sort of know what you - Sharon, Alexa, Jane - feel when you play around in pools and wet your boots or shoes! Heidi

Good to see that your more expensive pumps / court shoes have help you avoid the problem of chafing Alexa! I know some friends who can't wear courts/pumps because of the chafing. They have to go with mules so nothing chafs the area above their ankles but with mules, they have to walk very slowly to prevent them from falling off. Boots don't chaf like pumps/courts do although if the shaft is too high, sometimes it might rub up against your knee. Pantyhose helps alleviate that problem for me so I don't have red marks near my knee. That would not look pretty, especially for a person who's skin as as white as mine.

Hello Sharon, You mentioned that you also like to wear leather knee high boots at the office. How high are the heels on your dress boots? Is the reason you wear pantyhose so that you can have some padding in your boots so the heels are more comfortable? Sharon, you are very daring! Pouring water in your leather boots to cool them off at work?! How much water do you pour in? With waterproof boots, don't your boots make sloshing sounds as you walk? Don't your boots get super heavy with water inside? You do sound like a very naughty girl I love to wear high heels but heels tire me out quickly. I need lots of padding to make heels comfortable enough to wear for an entire day. Thus I wear thick pantyhose and thick wool socks with high heels. If I wear pantyhose and wool socks with high heeled pumps, it looks strange so I choose to wear knee high boots to hide my several layers of pantyhose and wool socks. I like to wear fur lined boots too as the fur lining is great padding but that also makes my knee high boots very steamy, especially in the summer. All my leather boots are waterproof but not my suede ones. As you can probably see, unlike you, I am shy and afraid to get my feet wet so I try as hard as possible to keep them dry in airtight waterproof high heeled boots, especially on rainy days! I have this problem though, because I wear knee high boots a LOT, even during the summer, my male co-workers/friends are always trying to get my boots off of me. They are always wondering what I am trying to hide. I guess you'd better not let your co-workers get your boots off or else they might find very wet socks and pantyhose LOL I wonder where Alexa & Jane went ....... Heidi

Hello Sharon, Thank you for sharing your adventures about what you have done in your private, heated, outdoor swimming pool. I had not factored in buoyancy - a force exerted by a fluid, that opposes an object's weight, when I pictured you in your pool, fully clothed. Buoyancy, would definitely explain the fact that you feel weightless in water, even though you have on a coat, two pairs of thick pantyhose and Uggs fur lined boots. I had thought that once you step out of the pool, the weight of the heavy wet fur lined Uggs boot along with all the water inside the boot would weigh it down so that it would fall off your foot instantly, perhaps even dragging off your slouch sock. It is interesting to know that your boot stays on and that it makes a funny squelching sound. hahaha Doesn't your wallet complain though when you wet your Uggs? I have seen calf high chocolate brown Uggs here selling for as much as 280€ for the nicer ones! I too have tall Uggs but I typically just wear mine at home for comfort after work. The knee high fur lined boots I mentioned with 3" heel are black leather dress boots that I wear to work. I have a pair of knee high fur lined suede boots too with a 3.5" heel. Both are boots which are too nice for me to ever want to get them wet. If I ever change my mind and want to try the wet experience, I would probably have to go and get the least expensive pair of heels I can find LOL Do you also wear your knee high boots and pantyhose during the summer in Munich? If so, how do you deal with the heat? Heidi

Everytime I wear a pair of really sexy high heel boots, guys seem to want to get them off of me ASAP ........ girls on the other hand tend to appreciate them much more than guys ....... Does anyone else notice that trend as well?

How does Victoria Sinclair & Stefani Germanotta walk in those heelless contraptions without one big muscular guy holding onto her left arm and another, equally muscle bound guy holding onto her right arm so she can balance and appear like she is walking? I'll bet David Beckham must get sore arms everytime Victoria wears her heelless boots as he has to hold her and support her ........

Wouldn't wearing stiletto heeled pumps without nylons cause a lot of chafing around the ankle area? This chafing usually turns into a bruise for me. Thus for me, when I wear my stiletto heeled boots, it has to be at least two layers of thick pantyhose, if not more, for padding and to prevent any chafing. I am guessing this is something that few others do, but Sharon might do as well? Anyone else?

Hello Sharon, I see in you switched your profile location from England to Germany. Are you visiting Germany or did you move to Deutschland? Interesting to hear that you have gone swimming in two pairs of denier 100+ pantyhose, slouch socks and a pair of calf high Uggs boots. I take it that your Uggs must have gotten pretty heavy in the water? Did your Uggs slouch down to your ankles once wet? Was it hard to keep your Uggs and your slouch socks on as you tried to swim in the pool? I am back from my brief business trip to Milan. It is a lot cooler up here in Stadtgemeinde Bremen. I wore ankle boots for the trip back up but once I arrived, the temperature is only +12C according the the thermometer I have on my window. I immediately wanted to layer on some pantyhose or socks but the ones in my suitcase need to be washed first as I was sweating in them while in Milan. I don't want to wear smelly socks or pantyhose Heidi

Incredible! You manage to wear boots in Indonesia & Singapore, two tropical places known for their palm trees and sunshine. You mentioned you wore a pair of over the knee boots in Singapore. What material is the shaft of the boot? Is it airtight leather or the more breathable suede?

I have a very brief stay in hot Milan. This is one of the fashion capitals of the world. Women here can walk on such high heels I don't want to be the stuffy German who has to wear flats. The higher the heel, the more padding I need in order to stay comfortable. Thus I have been going around in a pair of knee high suede boots with fur lining and several pairs of pantyhose. However, the weather has gotten so hot, I almost considered abandoning my boots for pumps until I read your inspirational message ........ now I am not sure whether to keep my high heeled boots on or go with low heeled pumps ......

I personally think you will drive to guys wild. I hope you boot / shoe selection have very high heels!

I am with my husband in Singapore at present. The temperature is 28 to 32. Last night I wore over the knee boots. WOW, I was so warm but in the air con buildings it was fine.

For me, boots are for all year round.

Hello, Sharon, have you ever gotten wet when wearing more then one pair of your 70+ denier pantyhose? ........ I live in northwest Germany where it is very cool but one business trip, I was down in Milan, Italy where it was not so cool in the summer. Because it was a key business presentation, I wanted to look very confident. I wore a skirt suit. The taller the heel on my boots, the more padding I need to wear to be comfortable so for that presentation, I wore a pair of fur lined, knee high boots with 3.5" heel. To offset the heels, I added three pairs of opaque pantyhose for padding. The weather got hotter then I had anticipated and perspiration occured during the presentation. After the meeting, I had discovered that even my outer layer of pantyhose was moist and there was definitely a squishy feeling of moisture inside my fur lined boots and pantyhose. Have you ever layered more then 1 pair of pantyhose and gotten yourself wet? Jane, did you end up going to the beach? If so, what sort of heels and what sort of pantyhose did you wear into the water? Heidi

I am lucky I live in northwestern Germany, by the North Sea where even the summer temperatures rarely rise above +23C. Today, the high briefly hit +22C but remained in the teens for most of the day except the early afternoon time. The sea breeze also helps keep things cool. Because of the cool temperatures here, I get to wear my knee high boots for most of the summer. If it reaches the mid-twenties then I go down to my ankle boots and if it goes above that, I have to go for my pumps. There are some guys at the office who obviously like to see a lady's legs. They are all going nuts in that most of them have never seen mine or only caught very brief glimpses of my legs! My legs are almost always encased in leather or suede and nylons. Tomorrow, the weather forecast calls for a high of +30C. After reading what Alexa has done, I am thinking of doing this. I am going to wear a pair of knee high suede boots to work in the morning when it is cool. As they day heats up, I will switch to a pair of ankle boots and after lunch, when it gets really hot, I will switch to a pair of platform pumps. As it cools throughout the day, I will switch back to my ankle boots for when I go home. What do you think of that plan girls? Do you think it will drive the guys wild?

Great thread! It also reminds me, after work, I should always take off my high heeled boots and wear my Uggs or my aerobic shoes around the house so I won't be locked in the high heels position forever. It is so hard to take off my heels and swap them for boring flats after work though ........

Hi everyone, As summer is winding down, this past weekend, I went for a walk along a boardwalk next to the beach with several friends. We had an outdoor barbeque and as the sun was setting, my friends started to take out the ice cooled alcoholic beverages. After drinking several, perhaps my sense of logic started to go awry and I wandered onto the beach. I was wearing a nice sundress, two pairs of glossy suntan pantyhose and a pair of knee high platform leather boots with block heel. I waded into the water until the water almost reached the very top of the platform! I felt so daring and naughty. Now I know what Alexa and Jane feel when they play with water. After that brief moment of drunken insanity, I went back to the seating area with my friends away from the water. I have a feeling if Jane was there, her sandals and pantyhose would be soaked! If Alexa was there, she would be soaked all the way to her knees! Sharon, good to see you join the discussion. I see you also like to wear boots with pantyhose. Do you also find that wearing boots with padded pantyhose makes heels a lot more comfortable? Heidi

Fishnets are a LOT of fun! I love to wear black fishnets over suntan pantyhose. The Kei$ha look is really in right now, especially when paired with a nice pair of pumps or knee high boots! Does anyone else here wear fishnets over suntan pantyhose for that daring look as well?

Hi everyone, Alexa, interesting article on psychology! I can see why you are so brave now to get wet. You are right, most others are probably too preoccupied with their own thing to notice. Here on the German side of the North Sea, we are getting one of the wettest summers in history! It has been raining almost everyday for the past week and it is extremely wet outside. I don't want to ruin my expensive designer boots so this week, I have been wearing some of my older boots that have a good rubber grip on the bottom. The outside of the boots are getting super soaked as I have to step in puddle after puddle to get to work. Good thing the high heel and the lining keep me nice and dry inside. Heidi
