The Mad Posted April 4, 2003 Posted April 4, 2003 Ok, firstly, this is my first post here! Yay! (and there was much rejoicing...) Now on to the point of this post. Being a rather tall guy (6'2") and having large feet (US men 12), it is near impossible for me to find any high heels in my size that aren't: a) too feminine to look good on me too noisy (wooden soles) c) too platformed, or... d) too flat to be worth buying In particular, what I'm looking for is calf-high or ankle-high boots with: a) chunky or wedge heel (since stilettos or blades would probably not look good on me due to my size) 1 inch platform or less (preferably none at all) c) 3 to 4 inches of heel (Any less with my size feet feels insignificant, but any more, and I'd be humongous.) d) rubber soles e) rounded or square toe I've searched almost every English-language site on the Web that has heels in my size, and have been unable to find anything even remotely approaching this, aside from the Spunk boots on this page, which I could probably (with difficulty) modify. But that's about all I've found. Please help if you can!
hoverfly Posted April 4, 2003 Posted April 4, 2003 http://www.westernranchboots.com Take a look at this. You will pay a high price for them but the up most quality in cowboy boots with high heels. Oh yeah...welcome o the board. Hello, my name is Hoverfly. I’m a high heel addict…. Weeeeeeeeeee! 👠1998 to 2022!
TallSwede Posted April 5, 2003 Posted April 5, 2003 I suppose that you already have browsed the selection that: http://www.miniconcepts.com have to offer, if not have a look there, they are real nice people with good service even when delivering across the Atlantic here to Sweden where I live. Regards, TallSwede (also 6'2-3, US12 but still liking and wearing 5" heels)
The Mad Posted April 7, 2003 Author Posted April 7, 2003 Yeah, they are, but I said I was gonna modify them if I got them, didn't I? Turn the pic about 35 degrees clockwise and you'll get a general idea of what I'm aiming for. (except, I'd saw through quite a bit of the sole and make it an almost-non-platformed wedge heel.) Anyways, thanks for your input everyone
Bubba136 Posted April 7, 2003 Posted April 7, 2003 Didn't Herman Munster wear a simlar pair? Being mentally comfortable in your own mind is the key to wearing heels in public.
squirrelheels Posted April 9, 2003 Posted April 9, 2003 I think Herman Munster's would have been even less stylish than those! I quite like boots like that on the right person with the right clothes. Boots like that can be fiendishly expensive though, and I'm not sure how easy they'd be to modify for heels, considering the thick, tough sole and stiff leather. SH Hi! I'm a signature virus! Copy me into your sig and help me spread!
