Not a lot happening on this forum recently, so I thought I'd find an old photo and upload. These are Jessica Simpson, size 11. I like the block heel and apparently so do others, because I've gotten positive comments more than once. Twice at gas stations/convenience stores. Once last winter a woman also pumping gas, glanced at my shoes and said, "I don't wear my girl shoes much at this time of year." I should have said, "It doesn't't stop me," but I missed it and instead just made a general comment about the weather. On another occasion, I went into the convenience store to buy a drink and a woman told me outside how much she liked my shoes -- and then commented again inside, asking me where I got them.

I've had the same issue figuring out my own eight-weeks-behind problem.

There is validity to the point of coming from a position of power, a point I think @kneehighs has made. If you're in control, you are looked at differently. I teach at the University and I have run my own business. Employees and students have a respect for your fashion choices, that outside of those situations, may not exist.

I agree regarding the need and importance of an overall tolerant attitude. There should be a wide level of acceptance of "unusual" behavior -- in society in general, put particularly in a forum such as this, which by its very nature is founded on the idea of "unusual" fashion.

What brand and model are they?

Despite the high heel, they look masculine, I like them. Those are different than the series you posted a couple days prior, correct?

It definitely does look less feminine with longer pants and I have worn the boots that way. However shorter pants is definitely a fashion trend for both men and women and I own a lot of pants in that style.

Though 4.5 niches high, I think it's just that these are chunky heels and not thin, which for her, are inappropriate.

These Aldo boots are a couple years old, but I like them. Size 11. I can wear them around my wife, which is a plus. I've worn them often, to the University where I teach, shopping, lunch, etc. I've received an occasional positive comment on them, from women primarily.

I wore the exact above outfit today to lunch and shopping for a new bag at Coach, where I have purchased leather bags previously -- and this time I got a comment. The Asian sales associate was profusely complimentary about my shoes, telling me multiple times how much she loved them. She asked if I had purchased them there, at Coach, because she had an identical pair from the store. I told her I did not, that these were from Aldo, but she said they were a great color particularly for Spring and go well with a lot things. I feel like Asian women are more enthsiatic about high heels than Caucasians.

Appealing adventures. Appealing friends.

Whereas I prefer the more fashionable high rise of the track pants vs. the low rise of the jeans

These are 2 or 3 years old, another pair of Aldo, size 11, with track pants and an older photo in torn jeans. I prefer the track pants. The pink color is feminine as well as less attention-getting than dark colors. I've worn them many places, shopping at the mall, into Coach and H&M, at lunch and at a casino in Reno, Nevada, where I wore them to breakfast and checked out, dragging my luggage behind the clicking sounds. For some reason I've never had any comments on these heels.

The piano is a Weber, a nice, but not particularly expensive brand. I'm a life-long, adept guitar player, but just tinker around on the piano, though I'd like to get better. My daughter plays it well.
