onyourtoes Posted February 6, 2003 Posted February 6, 2003 After nearly 2 years of telling myself it was too much to spend on a pair of boots, I finally gave in. And I am so glad I did! ($350) These are 5 inch heel boots from Western Ranch Boots in Canada. Here's what the guy following me all around the supermarket sees:
NH Heels Posted February 6, 2003 Posted February 6, 2003 Congratulations!! Those are awesome, although I'm biased because I have a pair almost like them from WR. Mine have 4" heels and have the real pointy snip toe. I love mine and they were worth every penny.
hoverfly Posted February 6, 2003 Posted February 6, 2003 Oooooooooooooooo..... Nice!!!!!!!! Hello,  my name is Hoverfly. I’m a high heel addict…. Weeeeeeeeeee!  👠1998 to 2022!
Arctic Posted February 6, 2003 Posted February 6, 2003 Are they 5 or 5 1/2 inchers by the way? Calf length or just ankle-high? What's all the fuss about?

onyourtoes Posted February 6, 2003 Author Posted February 6, 2003 The heels were ordered as 5 inches. It's $50 more to get to 5 1/2. The heels actually measure 5 1/4 inches and I'd say they're a perfect balance between being very high heels, and being able to comfortably walk around on them. They've actually made them up to 6 1/2 inches. The boot height is 13 inches measured along the side seam.
Highluc Posted February 7, 2003 Posted February 7, 2003 I'm jealous but miss the dollars to order them (add shipping, 11 % import duties and 25 % VAT for Belgium). Be youself, enjoy any footwear you like and don't care about what others think about it, it's your life, not theirs. Greetings from Laurence

Stephen Posted February 7, 2003 Posted February 7, 2003 I have never before seen a pair of cowboy boots that I found the least bit appealing, but those are absolutely wonderful. I would love a pair of those. Stephen
Yamyam Posted February 7, 2003 Posted February 7, 2003 Very special - I'm almost losing my irrational bias against cowboy boots I recall seeing a similar pair elevating Xaphod, and they looked way cool. I have a photo I need to be posting somewhere... Obsessed is such a strong word. I prefer to think of myself as "differently enthusiastic"
Firefox Posted February 8, 2003 Posted February 8, 2003 Yes Xaphod has a pair which I have seen "in the flesh" and they really look good. If I got a pair, I think I would have them in about 4 1/2" 11cm heels.
xaphod Posted February 8, 2003 Posted February 8, 2003 Yamyam, if you can find the photo, please feel free to post it. Xa
Yamyam Posted February 9, 2003 Posted February 9, 2003 Yamyam, if you can find the photo, please feel free to post it. Xa Xaphod, dude, I know where the photo is, it's just the webspace. I'm working on it Obsessed is such a strong word. I prefer to think of myself as "differently enthusiastic"
