Heelster

I did the "Walk a mile" event locally - twice, and not in their red heels. Found out years ago that the heels they provide are terrible. I'm also very aware of what the event is for, and I support the local shelters of which the event supports.

If she's supportive, and you enjoyed the experience, planning on doing it again ??

Good buy - Amazon is at $84.00

What's a pension ???

If I actually get Social Security, it will be beer money at the end of the month - - -

Heelers : Here I go. I do not believe anyone is going to agree with this. I would never wear the shoes shown in this ad. What kind of a turnaround do you guys think will be achieved here? The men in western movies wear cowboy boots with higher heels than this crap. Do any of you think John Wayne would prance around in these shoes. Cowboy boots haven't encouraged people to wear higher heeled shoes over the last/past one hundred (100) years. Just wear what you like and move on.  Mike

Not sure if you've been out shopping for Western Boots in the mens department lately, but you would be luck to find a 1" heel. Been to a few recently as I have a wedding coming up. I'll end up in the womens department most likely

Actually - - - Nope

It's not completely voluntary - - to function and work in society, we are left with little choice.

We are already seeing an issue in the educatin system. Kids are getting reports done based on a couple comments, and then turning them in with no atual research, or in some cases, not even reading the required text.

AI needs to be controlled if it is to be of a positive use in the near future. Lack thereof will start the slippery slope science fiction has predicted for us.

Ah - Yes

Haven't been around much lately, but the same debate lingers on. Single sole vs Platforms.

I like both. Most of my boots I wear out in public are single sole, but if I can, I like a bit of platform. 3/8" to 1/2" is good. Prefer not to feel every pebble I step on, and I step on a lot of them.

I usually have a platform at the house, especially in the kitchen. Wife is short, so I wear my "Elevators" to reach the items on the top shelf of the kitchen cabinets since they are taller than most cabinets. Beyond that, I usually find they are sturdier and often more stable.

Now - for the New Shoe's catagory - - After reading about how comfortable the Jessica Simpson Dany heels were, and I don't have a T-strap heel, I decided to splurge a bit and get a pair. Was going for the black leather model, but I'm a bit of a cheap scape and opted for the tan suede model on sale. I usually never oder heels, but I've had such good luck with fit that I opted to do so. Fit perfect although I don't have any mileage on them, but we will see.

 Beyond that, I've been watching the thrift stores for Red Patent heels for a special event, and have only found a couple pairs of single sole. Guess and Jessica Simpson. Both brands have almost always fit well for me.

definitely need you back here, sure hope you continue to heal up OK buddy

Think I will  !!

Haven't been around much myself lately, then again I'm not getting out as much these days. Puckered up a knee  early summer so that restricted life a bit. Orthopedic surgeon told me if we go for an MRI, I'd most likely be under the knife shortly thereafter. It's healing progressively, but I know it ain't right.

Went to an oral surgeon recently - during the exam, he asked where I got my boots - I asked him if he really wanted to know - (of course he did). Fergilicious - and he kinda chuckled. Actually, I think the gals made him ask.

Guess I need to swing back through the forums more often - - -

I have a pair in red and black - bought on Amazon. Heels on mine are way to wimpy.

I can honestly say I have never seen nail polish on a guy

Strolled through a DSW in southern Florida today, saw the same thing.  Rows and rows of sneaks, not a heel to be found, except for on the sale racks.  

Same up my way - - - 59000 flavers of sneakers, and a random Jessica Simpson heel.

I have no clue when I hit the forum - - It's been awhile.

Since the damned covid crappy, I haven't been out much, so nothing to report. Slowly getting out a bit more in boots, but I'm still a bit conservative in my heel wearing. Retail shopping for heels has been mundane at best. Virtually none to be had.

20 years ago, you could find mens boots like the pair on the right - - - haven't seen any in years. If I could find a pair like that in a mens 8D, I'd buy them in a heartbeat. Lately, I'm buying womens boots similar to those and wearing them out. I get no comments, stare, or even a casual notice.

Funtasma falls under the Pleaser Halloween / party / costume line.

Ellie has similar under their 1031 product line.

Have often thought of wearing some other "female branded" accessories, especially super tight jeans and leggings...But, need to drop a few pounds first....

Ahh - - An area I've been successful at. I have quite a few pairs of womens jeans I wear out often. Usually a flared leg but often tight on the thighs etc. I've gotten pretty good at picking out excellent finds at thrift shops. Mostly in a size 10 lowrise. (yes, my gut doesn't allow high rise) My daughter figured it out, but it doesn't bother her. I also make sure the leg is suitable to predominately cover my higher heeled boots. That's one area I'm not venturing further in due to the local viewpoint on anything considered ""trans"". that's a sore subject in these parts.

I’m clearly out of touch...not a one of those singers pictured above was a name that rang any sort of bell with me...

I'd love to see Lizzy Hale (Halestorm) in concert, with or without the heels.

Welcome - -!!

I had to take my mom to the grocery store yesterday. There were a surprising number of cowboy boots at the store, and no flip flops! Of course, the weather was so terrible that someone would have to be pretty die hard to wear sandals yesterday.

But most of the cowboy styles are pretty much slightly more than flat.

Does anybody have experiences with JLO (Jennifer Lopez) boots????

 

Looking at JLO's AZZALA OTK boot.

I have a pair from years ago. Before the alliance with DSW. They are good quality and comfortable. I have yet to try on any of the DSW flavors yet. I may get near a DSW in the next month or so - -
