Stilettoscot Posted December 5, 2008 Posted December 5, 2008 Wow, got my ultra's in this morning, and instead of the 6 1/4" heel as advertised, they measure a full 7 1/4"!! Of course, I HAD to practice in my room, even though I didn't even place any padding in yet...LOL They fit fairly well. But, even though I walk a lot, and very gracefully, in 6" heels, I wasn't expecting how tough these would be! After about 45 minutes of stretching, warming up, and such, I managed to be able to walk back and forth across my 20' room 2 times (only the first would be considered graceful-ish) before my feet were just too tired! 15 more minutes of attempts, and I had to stop. Just for yucks I put back on my 6"ers and almost fell backwards as it felt like there was no heel there!! Now, I have 26 days to practice before I wear them to my club's New Year's Eve party, and though I am at least encouraged that I can walk short distances in them, I know there won't be much dancing in these! LOL First stop today before work?? Aldo's for some shoe padding...LOL Wow, I have some serious respect for those who can walk a lot in ultra's over 7"! Figured I'd become a Gold Member with a post about ultra high gold heels! Off to practice some more... Walking in ultra-highs because it's exciting...and it is!!
highestheels Posted December 5, 2008 Posted December 5, 2008 They are great shoes I have a pair myself but due to the heel movement I am still not able to walk in them. Good Luck Stilettoscot I am sure you will enjoy them!

ChipsHH Posted December 6, 2008 Posted December 6, 2008 Nice gains. I hope to claim a pair of my own in the near-future Formally "HHDude"
danielp6406 Posted December 6, 2008 Posted December 6, 2008 Amazing and wonderful shoes Highest shoes I got is 5". I never walked in 6¼" heels. I cannot even imagine what it could be in 7¼"
Jen J Posted December 6, 2008 Posted December 6, 2008 All I can say is "Damn" Oh, and "Hot" Did I mention "Wow" Jen
ChipsHH Posted December 7, 2008 Posted December 7, 2008 Hate to aim away from scott for a little bit.. but "hott" shoes you got there, Jen. Very nicee pose as well Formally "HHDude"
William Posted December 9, 2008 Posted December 9, 2008 Scott, You ARE the man! I hope you're planning on refraining from alcohol that night. You're f...ing crazy. And, I'm f...ing jealous of you, my friend. Keep it steady in your "training" of the next several weeks. And, of course, let us know what hospital to send flowers to you should you decide to take a few drinks wearing those mother f...ers! William
Stilettoscot Posted December 9, 2008 Author Posted December 9, 2008 LOL @ Willaim! Progress is going a bit slower than hoped. I can walk more graceful in them, but not for any longer than about 50'...and it ain;t getting easier yet! LOL Still I'll keep on! Walking in ultra-highs because it's exciting...and it is!!
balletboot2000 Posted December 9, 2008 Posted December 9, 2008 Keep practicing Scot, they are great shoes, and will get easier with practice. I love the feel of that ultimate lift!
higheeluv Posted December 11, 2008 Posted December 11, 2008 Awesome heels....if I ever get some extra $$$ those are the exact heels I want to get for myself They must be so awesome to have on your feet... Would love to see a few more picture of you in them and also when you get a chance another update if there is any.... I think they come in black also... what made you decide on the red one?? Holiday time I would guess.. anyway be careful on them and love to hear more about your adventures wearing them. higheeluv
Stilettoscot Posted December 12, 2008 Author Posted December 12, 2008 Will get some pics tomorrow during my "practice session"..LOL Not getting much more endurance, but a little more grace. These things are really high, to the point I still can't straighten my knees! They do feel "wicked" on my feet, and I feel quite alive wearing them! If you get them, make sure you get good padding though. PS, the do come in black with a silver heel... Walking in ultra-highs because it's exciting...and it is!!
HHfanatic Posted December 12, 2008 Posted December 12, 2008 My first pair of heels were about 7" pumps. Ordered from LSB. I though the higher the better...and I actually though I could walk in them. After a lot of struggle, I understood that 5 inch is enough. I must admit that I have never been any good using my heels long periode at the time, but 4 inch is about what I can use and be able to walk normal. I just need to get my butt moving outside the house with my heels on and not leave them behind in the closet..:-) Then I might be able to do some progress and can use my 7" pumps...
Stilettoscot Posted December 12, 2008 Author Posted December 12, 2008 Took a while to get comfortable in 6"ers for any period of time. I hope to be able to get at least decent enough with these to bring them the club once in a while. I doubt I'll ever walk in them like Pata (I can dream though, can't I??) but still I think I can at least wear them OK...LOL Walking in ultra-highs because it's exciting...and it is!!
HHfanatic Posted December 12, 2008 Posted December 12, 2008 I tried to walk a little in my 6" boots now, indoors, I can walk fairly good, but outdoor on all the variations of roads, I dont think I can make it very far...
jwhite44 Posted December 12, 2008 Posted December 12, 2008 I'd view ultra heels sort of like a rich desert - extra special, that you can only handle a little of, a bit at a time. I guess to some degree it's a challenge to see how high a heel you can wear. If you can actually walk well in ultra heels, that's great. However, I'd much rather see someone walking well in lower heels, then struggling and walking awkwardly in ones probably too high.
roniheels Posted December 13, 2008 Posted December 13, 2008 I have never worn 7" high heels. I can't even imagine. I walk very slowly and very deliberately in 6" high heels. Are they truly a lot of fun to walk in? And would you ever wear them for any length of time in public? Just currious.
kutenkinky Posted December 15, 2008 Posted December 15, 2008 You look really great in them. Can you walk in them yet? M_/|_/| NYC
Stilettoscot Posted December 16, 2008 Author Posted December 16, 2008 Oh the horror... 2 days back I was practicing (in my powerless house due to the ice storm), and felt some "give in my right heel. While it was not broken, there is now "play" in the heel which is obviously a manufacturing defect (brought it to a cobbler yesterday to see). I contacted Sexy-shoes and they told me no problem on returning them Sad, but they have no more shoes in this style and size. Good news is I will be able to trade them in for 2 other models (one on clearance), and they'll do it for no extra charge (just shipping). So, while I'm really sad they are leaving, I'll have 2 other new ultra's in which to practice on. So, for the upcoming week or two, I'll be ultra-less... Oh well, these things happen! Walking in ultra-highs because it's exciting...and it is!!
Jen J Posted December 16, 2008 Posted December 16, 2008 Sexy Shoes, one of the best online and mail retailers out there. Fair and honest. God man, 7 inch heels and no powerfor two days, I am suprised you made it out alive. Put on your no BS black pumps and go get a generator. Jen
candyhheels Posted December 20, 2008 Posted December 20, 2008 I'm so sad they have to go back. Heels that high are always fragile. If you pm me, I will try to find a way to send you a walking video in those heels.
secondtake20 Posted December 20, 2008 Posted December 20, 2008 Bummer Scott! I thought everyone in the north were it snows and ice's had generator's. I live in the south and I have a generator just in case.
heelluva Posted December 23, 2008 Posted December 23, 2008 aww man. well u must tell us how well u do when u get your new heels in because i know walkin n ultraheels is the best feeling ever.
Stilettoscot Posted December 23, 2008 Author Posted December 23, 2008 Thanks, will do. They are being shipped out end of this week. I agree about the feeling. Just being able to walk in them (even if not yet "Pata-like", is kinda like a blessing, but also very erotic... Walking in ultra-highs because it's exciting...and it is!!
William Posted December 23, 2008 Posted December 23, 2008 You'll not have much time to practice before New Year's Eve... I hope they get to you early!!!
Stilettoscot Posted December 23, 2008 Author Posted December 23, 2008 Ain't happening in time. Looks like 6" or bust for New Year's... I wouldn't have faith with 7" heels on hardwood flooring in a week's time. Walking in ultra-highs because it's exciting...and it is!!
Stilettoscot Posted December 24, 2008 Author Posted December 24, 2008 Well, the new shoes came in an hour or so ago, and I must say I am very impressed with the service from Sexy-Shoes! The loading port for my camera has been in the fritz since the power went out (surge maybe?), so have to wait until later to send myself the phone camera pics. The heel on them also measure a little over 7", but for some reason, the walkability is far better! I can walk quite well (in the house, of course) in them for quite a while! Even, dare I say, graceful! I think the heel flexes a bit, which helps (I think). The support is also good, as is the fit. I love them! I might actually try 'em out on New Year's! Pics in a few hours. I have to figure out how to take a walking video in them and share, as I am a complete "noddy" (to steal a term from our Brittish friends) when it comes to electronics. Walking in ultra-highs because it's exciting...and it is!!
highestheels Posted December 24, 2008 Posted December 24, 2008 I am glad you like them. If they are courts then they are alot more supportive. I have 4 pairs, soon to be 5 of 6.5 inch courts in different colours and love them all, They are so much more comfortable than other 6 inch I have. Don't you feel its weird that the manufacturer really counts and love Ellie shoes (sooo comfy)
