Poor girl -- but she got right up, shrugged it off and kept going. You have to admire that!

Is a good fun film, but this should have probably been posted in the high heel movies section.

Agreed. . .and done.

Those are wild!

Well, he's behaving like a clown, so why wouldn't they laugh at him ?

Absolutely. He's prancing around obviously trying to be funny and playing up the shoes. Most of we guys could get laughs too if we acted that way.

I think we've come to the conclusion that high heels are an "unwanted invention" in the mind of Marilyn vos Savant herself. She is supposed to have a very high I.Q. (if I remember correctly she is a Mensa member) and she likes to sit upon that I.Q. as if it was a throne from which to direct the lives of all we plebes. As I have said before, there are a lot of high heels for sale out there -- a plethora of different styles, sizes, colors, heights, etc. Just look on eBay, most online shoe stores, or in most real shoe stores and there will be a whole bunch of heels available, and they do sell. For an "unwanted invention", somebody sure wants 'em -- and not just the members of this site!

I don't think I'm alone in regarding any heeled footwear as being artistic. To continue, then -- by definition a picture of a heeled shoe could qualify as being a work of art. I don't have any problem with the "artistic" comment. But then I am an engineer -- I can appreciate a well-designed circuit board like most people appreciate a grand master's painting.

Wow -- sultry!

. . . I don't know why everyone must have the very high heels . . .

Well, the real high ones are more exciting and there are members on this site who express outright disdain for kitten heels. I am not one of them. Kittens may not be real high but they are heels nonetheless. I agree with you, they carry a certain sweetness with them.

5.5 inchers are pretty high! Try it in something a little lower because they are more forgiving.

Can't help but wonder if Minnie's dilapidated boots still had the tags on 'em -- like her hat?

There's no reason to laugh! It occurs to me that we often say "there is no anatomical difference between the female human foot and the male human foot" on this site. It turns out the same is probably true for legs. You have great legs and they look perfect with those pumps.

Hi hckyplyr123 and welcome aboard! As for starter height, go with something you can wear comfortably for a period of time. Most of we guys, blessed with largish feet, can easily handle a 3.5 to 4" heel with very little difficulty. You will have to try a few different heights to find out. If you try to start out with six-inchers you will be miserable and will probably give up. There are a few threads around here about foot stretching -- some of that may work. I am of the opinion that extended wear is the best exercise. Just wear 'em and don't push yourself too hard. If you don't have any heels yet, look around for some of the sizing threads too. Shoe sizing is a bit of a black art -- an 11 from one line may be too tight while a 10 from another line may be too loose. And that's if they are both US Womens -- there are UK sizes, European sizes, Chinese sizes and a few other sizing systems too. Conversions between them don't always work well. As for what most others do when starting out, most of us get a pair of five or six inchers and immediately start prancing around - - - poorly. Then we come here and find out what we are doing wrong. Spend some time browsing around here -- there are a lot of threads going back for several years. There is an enormous amount of information here.

She's a beauty! (But I have to fix the spelling on this thread title :-) )

Look for ballets that lace up, you will get a little more "give" with the width. You want ballets to be tight so they will grip your foot firmly. Otherwise your foot will slide down inside the shoe and all your weight will be supported by the ends of your toes -- that's an exquisitely painful experience!

I am closing this thread because the original poster is no longer an active member.

Welcome aboard! Judging from your nickname, you'll fit in fine here.

Yes, she played Daisy Duke. She's not related to the more musical Bachs.

Am I wrong or everybody decided to get away from heels for a week or two?

I had the same feeling... HEY!

Time to wear my boots when at home tonight!!! YEEEEEEEAHHHHHHHHHHHH

Might have something to do with the time of year? Spring has sprung around here -- time to get out of the house and enjoy the weather.

Ooooh, Glassfets!! (or firebottles, or thermionic valves, or vacuum tubes. . .) They have always beeh fascinating. Yeah, they are fragile, terribly obsolete and hideously power-hungry but they did have a few good points (virtual immunity to electrostatic discharge, for one!) Digital cameras are great, you will probably find that you take a whole lot of pictures with yours. Per shot, it's a lot less expensive than film photography.
