Well, I'd read your writings even if they weren't about heels. I'm a big science fiction fan too, and I'm always interested in new SF ideas. I realise that I'll get glared at for this, but I loved the sheer variety of ideas you used to get in SF, and we're now down to a few basic franchises, like Star Wars [1-9], etc. Bring it on!

You could always check out the Birmingham Bizarre Bazaar. I can't remember the URL off-hand, but I'll post it when I do. It's a good day out, and of course there's usually at least one stall selling heels to take away there and then!

Wow this could be some party

Shall we go then?

Well, you'll never know what would have happened if you make a different decision. I think it's best to tell all, throw yourself on your partner's mercy, and hope that your relationship survives.

Finally, I didn't try that. I wasn't prepared enough to go outside with my heels. I will try tomorrow, but this time, I'll prepare myself before and trying to be less nervous.

It's not like to can decide to be less nervous! All you can do is not let that nervousness stop you. The first time is always hard, but it gets easier over time. Bet you won't believe it, but I once only remembered I had 4" wedges on halfway across a petrol station forecourt!

A bear walks into a bar. He goes over to the barman and says "I'd like a pint... and a packet of crisps, please." The barman asks "Why the big pause?" The bear replies "Don't really know, I've always had them." ---- A woman walks into a bar and asks the barman for an innuendo. So he gives her one.

thanks so far guys, but can anyone tell me if stores such as ravel, Barratts or even say debenhams sell em. I want names people, come on - give a guy a hand - please

A foot, surely

Littlewoods have high street stores, so you could try there. There's also Argos Additions (no, still not on commission!). Barratts tend to sell their own stuff, but are worth a try anyway. You could always try one of those small specialist shoe shops that most towns have one or two of, of course.

Two things, really.

First, I'm spending a couple of days working at a site that's casual dress, so no suit for me. I decided that I'd be brave and go with the Chelsea boots. But when I arrived, I found I'd left them at home Bother. And after I'd bravely got the courage up.

On the other hand, as if I wasn't lucky enough (and believe me, I thought I was ) Julietta treated me to these J Lo *shoes*! How amazing is that?

The pictures are unretouched from my Nokia cameraphone, so that's why they're a little grainy. I'll take some better ones when I've recharged my digicam batteries. Enjoy!

of spiky heels (bonus point to me for mentioning the magic word!)

I just noticed something...not a word of sympathy for the man who was spike-heeled to death! What's the matter with us anyway?

Oh, it's just jealousy, really. I mean, it's not like I want to die, but at least I'd go happy if that happened to me

(Damn, still in silly mood)

adoration

"Nice shoes", remarked Yamyam, dragging the thread back round to the point (sorry, in a silly mood )

he checked again.

I bought mine from St. Albans market... and Julietta's got some too, but in her traditional pink. Plus, she surprised me the other day by buying me the shoe version of them. I'll try and take a photo tonight!

I think it's always best to confess, rather than wait until you get caught. I've told two ex-girlfriends, and they've seemed okay about it all. One even joined the board... Now, of course, I'm with Julietta, and she's quite happy about it all. I didn't have to tell her about me & heels, obviously, but we have talked about it, and we keep talking about it.

Hm... weird, i fit into a size 40 male shoe and into a size 41 female shoe.

It's not that weird, it's probably down to the width of the shoe rather than the length. I find that I need a bigger size in pointy styles than i do in non-pointy ones.

'Gaff" is also used to describe a "mistake." Duct tape is wonderful for fixing "Gaffs."

Errr..., pedantic I know, but I believe the word that means mistake is "gaffe" in Commonwealth English. I also think that the word for the hardware that some transvestites apparently use to hold their attributes in place is "gaff". I personally wouldn't want to use gaffer tape for *that* purpose tho', as I don't fancy a free bikini wax!

What sort of quote is that for a high heel addict

How about "I don't own any navy shoes so *we'll* have to go shopping?" Works for me

Do you know if there are size 9 or 10 of wedge ankleboots or kneeboots?

I'm planning to go to London in the last week of september. I will certainly take a look at Barratts and other stores.

I want to take 2 cases with me, one with clothes and one empty so I can fill it with shoes and/or boots when I'm there

Cool plan, Robert.

I have no idea what the size ranges are in the styles I've shown. They are all from UK retailers, so I guess a UK8 is probably the limit, sorry.

If you're planning on hitting London, I'd suggest that you TK Maxx and Brantano. Brantano is especially good for heels up to an astonishing UK11 or so. Please let us know how you get on.

So I've taught you how to do poor-quality puns now, have I? Oh well, not the worst thing I've been blamed for in my life. [and the strangest thing is, I'm on Julietta's computer as we speak!]

Wow Yamyam !

I like the wedges very much. I see you wear straight jeans with them.

With such a not so wide leg they fell on the boots. With the blue ones they fell over them a little. I would wear a pair of bootcut jeans as they fell over them so, you don't see much of the heel. Just my opinion

Thanks, Robert. I was wearing skinnier jeans in the photos because that's what I had on when I got around to taking the camera out. I would normally wear wider jeans if I was off out in them. I like the look of bootcut jeans over heels too, but my wider jeans were in the wash
