heelsrule

Hi all, I bought my wife a nice pair of suede tan ankle boots, with breather panel and nice cushioning around back of the ankle along with nice adnd easy to lace up laces and D rings. The boots have a pointy heel with a soft and thick rubber sole, more like a hiking boot with a 4" pointy heel. I thourght they would be really comfortable for 4" heels. But being a size US women 14 and my wife a 8.5, I cannot try for myself. Problem is my wife cannot wear 4" and pointy heels (measured up back of heel). Her feet are just not built right. But she doesn't mind wearing her other boots with 3-3.5" chunky heels as long as she doesn't have to walk or stand too much. The boots look too nice on her to let collect dust in cupboard or throw away and she does like them, but can only wear for a very short periods of time and we live in tropics and she has an industrial job, so not a matter of working her way up to it. I was think of getting the heel replaced with an hourglass 3.25-3.5" heel The heels appear to be just glued on. Anyone know where I could send the boots to get modified. i live in Australia but would consider overseas. Regards Shane

I wonder if any other girls are used to wearing sandals in winter and if their feet get cold? Fashion and image are more important than your feet getting a bit cold seems to be the view my wife takes - and I am pleased she does.

I never get this. You are dressed for a nice warm house, you have to walk a minute or less to a car that will be warm in a few minutes if not already, then from car a few short minutes to inside a warm building. Why on earth do people rug, taking clothes on and off up for these short trips outside. Ok in extreme climates, might just have to do it, but down to freezing. And yes still take something. You never know.
