I like the look, but do not use it myself. I am still at that stage where I would rather keep my heels hidden. They are for my pleasure, not for anyone else.

. . . Again, this is an extremely risky procedure which has resulted in many deaths. Please see the links provided earlier.

Not only extremely risky but also illegal, at least in the United States.

Greetings Heels48M! Look around, read some of our stories and tell us some of yours and I'm sure we will find a lot in common.

Moderation is the key. This passion, like so many others, has the capacity to consume us if we let it. We all struggle to find that "perfect balance" in life -- perhaps in futility because we have no proof that it even exists. In my own case I know that if I purged all my heels I would certainly cut my heeling to zero, but only temporarily. I cannot purge it from my mind and since "absence makes the heart grow fonder" the desire will intensify. Eventually my willpower will snap and Zappos is only a mouse-click away. Yes, we tread a narrow path here. Our passion adds spice to our lives but we must guard against it becoming our lives.

Then there is another category -- the wishful thinkers. These people already know the answer to their question but they don't like it and they are hoping somebody can tell them how to bend reality.

Aghhhh! I see I've posted twice. Sorry about that. Please get rid of one. Aglo

Not a problem :-)

The link's just taking me to the topmyspacemodels.com homepage. Anyone have better luck? It might just be one of those sites that doesn't work well without IE.

I just searched for "Gina" off the main page.

BTW, Gina -- you look positively amazing for 100 years old!

The best heely video I've seen. I wonder if he can walk in those pumps!

At one point he does stand up, although the pumps are out of the frame. He does not appear to change his shoes at any time.

There is really only one way to find out -- and that is to have her try them on. There is a lot of variation in sizing between different manufacturers and different styles, if this particular boot runs a bit large she may be OK with them. But only she can know and she must try them to know. If the boots are available from an online shop, make certain that they have a generous return policy before ordering. Cramming one's feet into shoes that are too small is a certain formula for misery, and potential debilitating foot problems later. No matter how beautiful the style, no matter how much you want to see her in them, it just is not worthwhile to wear shoes that do not fit.

Ancient. :-)

Hi dressboots, and welcome back.

Reading your post I come to the conclusion that there are a couple of other members going through some of the same soul-searching as you are. Have a look at this thread:

You are not alone.

Hi Scott

How about these? They're Pleaser, style Maiden-8828. They're $65 on howcool.com.

Chris

I have a pair of those, got mine through eBay from BobandAngie. I'm pretty impressed with them, being Pleasers the price is quite reasonable yet they are leather and quite well made.

Welcome Joey! This is the place to be for all things heel-related!

Funny, the majority of "most annoying phrases" come to us from the world of business. Hmmmm.

The great state of Michigan with even crappier weather. Oh, well -- stay inside and wear heels!

Welcome aboard, wyatt973! We all love some facet of high heels here.

Welcome aboard, lindaheels! We all have our own preferences for heel type but boots and pumps (or courts) will strike a chord with the majority of members here.

johnieheel is essentially correct on posting images. You cannot embed an image directly in your post, rather you must place the image somewhere else that is accessible via the Internet. Photobucket is a good choice, there's also Imageshack and flickr. You will have to set up an account with one of these -- I can personally attest that signing up with Photobucket is easy.

When you have an image hosting service, you can upload your pictures to their server. Each service has a help page telling you how.

Then you insert the link to your picture inside ',' tags. These are really easy to generate using the "insert image" button above the editor.

You really want to host images from an account that is under your control so you have control over your content, rather than having someone else do it for you.

Welcome back Gina! We have missed you! You are lovely as always.

Those are very cute.

Hey JeffB -- good to see you back! Some of us were getting a little worried.

Welcome aboard, spandexsyn!

Welcome back Dawn!! You can't keep a good heeler down!

Congratulations! Those boots are amazing.

Not true. Follow the link above.

I guess I did not underscore the word "Theoretically" with enough emphasis. The "biologically inert" idea comes from the manufacturers of silicones and they seem to have backed off from it since the breast implant lawsuits. Your links illustrate quite graphically that the theory does not hold. This stuff is dangerous.
