Puffer Posted October 31, 2017 Posted October 31, 2017 2 hours ago, Cali said: Look into Bare Traps. They have some nice 2 inch cuban heels. ... Not a lot of use if you are in the UK, or need a larger size! I have two pairs of Madcap boots from Atom Retro in UK11, with a 2.5" Cuban heel; good quality, smart and comfortable: https://www.atomretro.com/product_info.cfm?product_id=11237&d=MADCAP-ENGLAND-CASBAH-CUBAN-ZIP-BOOTS-BLACK Available in several colours and with zips or elastic sides. They help to relieve my intermittent lower back/leg pain (sciatica). Something higher would be good too, but I have yet to find anything really suitable.
Tacchi Alti Posted October 31, 2017 Posted October 31, 2017 A few know about the pain but unless people are curious enough to ask, which has never happened yet, I don't want to volunteer the information just for the sake of it. Let them think what they like for now... However, I think if I explained to one person the word would soon be out to others who have just thought of me as a freak but who can now think of me as a freak with(out) back pain. 1 'Come, and trip it as ye go On the light fantastic toe.'

Was your back pain caused by injury? Or is it something to do with getting old?

Tacchi Alti Posted November 1, 2017 Posted November 1, 2017 It's probably the cumulative effect of bad posture over the years, standing with my back arched. The heels just realign everything beautifully. Today I'm meeting up with the only person who has made any comment about my heels. Actually, not the heels but my increased height. I'll see if more is said. If he gets to know, a lot of people will know, as he's not quite the ticket and there are no secrets with him! 2 'Come, and trip it as ye go On the light fantastic toe.'

Tacchi Alti Posted November 1, 2017 Posted November 1, 2017 My concealed heel boots - 4 inches inside a boot which at first glance looks 'normal' apart from being small. I'll post a pic if you like. 1 'Come, and trip it as ye go On the light fantastic toe.' John Milton
jeremy1986 Posted November 1, 2017 Posted November 1, 2017 sure, would love to see. did you craft this yourself? Will you be telling him, or just seeing if he catches on? 1
Tacchi Alti Posted November 1, 2017 Posted November 1, 2017 Bought off Ebay. I've got another couple of pairs the same - got them while still available. Not the most elegant footwear but wearable in just about any situation - I wore them on a flight to New York and walking round Manhattan last year, and we were staying with friends. You can see the contour of the built-up heel, and I've also for a half-inch lift inside. 'Come, and trip it as ye go On the light fantastic toe.' John Milton
Tacchi Alti Posted November 1, 2017 Posted November 1, 2017 Oh, he didn't comment! Funny, he ran out of time while getting ready to go out, and he was wearing sandals... Obviously what he wears around the house. 'Come, and trip it as ye go On the light fantastic toe.' John Milton

Had numerous women tell me they LOVE my boots. One woman wanted to a picture on her phone with both of us showing our boots. That never happened when I wore men's shoes. I wore these boots and shorts but with leopard print leggings to work as part of a Halloween costume. Had many women in boots wanting pictures with both of us standing in a sexy pose. What surprised me was how many men told me they liked my boots. Going to buy the blue suede version of this boot with my DSW boot special. 3
Tacchi Alti Posted November 1, 2017 Posted November 1, 2017 Halloween is a much bigger thing with you - I don't think we'd 'get away with' anything like that over here - more likely be disciplined for inappropriate dress! Well done, though. You never know, you may have kickstarted a male trend where you work. 1 'Come, and trip it as ye go On the light fantastic toe.' John Milton
Cali Posted November 1, 2017 Posted November 1, 2017 I already have a reputation to up hold. Colored nail, high heels with shorts, .... I hoping to add (high heeled) knee boots with leggings this winter. I think wearing them with shorts might be my ticket. Now THAT might be the new trend. Yesterday this one boot loving high heeled woman (who asked for a picture) had these gorgeous front lace-up over the knee boots. She's going to give me the website she found them on.

Like you say, not much on the looks side... but very intriguing... you made these yourself? almost disappointing that he didn't comment
Pierre1961 Posted November 1, 2017 Posted November 1, 2017 Here are some new boots I was waiting for 1 1

They're still available but they go up to size 8 and that's snug. £9.99 plus p&p - I paid nearly £30 for the first pair but they're still going strong. Brand is Spot On, which do several styles with more 'masculine' looks: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SALE-LADIES-SPOT-ON-BROWN-BLACK-HIDDEN-WEDGE-BOOTS-WITH-BUCKLE-DETAIL-F50333/281462542509?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&var=581195277320&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649 Yes, I wish he had commented, really. It seems 'coming out' is a difficult thing... 'Come, and trip it as ye go On the light fantastic toe.' John Milton
Tacchi Alti Posted November 2, 2017 Posted November 2, 2017 Oh, the girl who knows about my heels and why I wear them is coming to lunch tomorrow. She's a friend of my wife's. Perhaps I should wear something more daring while she's there. I have some 4 inch wedge boots with heels not much wider than stilettos, and almost as loud. 3 'Come, and trip it as ye go On the light fantastic toe.' John Milton
Jkrenzer Posted November 2, 2017 Posted November 2, 2017 If she already knows I say just do it. Nice boots btw.
Tacchi Alti Posted November 2, 2017 Posted November 2, 2017 I think I probably will. I'll see if she says anything... She often wears heels at least 4 inches herself. 'Come, and trip it as ye go On the light fantastic toe.' John Milton

Tacchi Alti Posted November 2, 2017 Posted November 2, 2017 I got them off Ebay - a wonderful source, although I have bought shoes in store and tried them on. I can't remember the make but they might be Nine West. Lovely soft leather. I had to repair the zipper tag but that wasn't much of a problem. She loves shoes but I'm not sure about comparing height! I'll have to see. Perhaps get those boots out later to wear, then wear them to work tomorrow and keep them on for when she arrives. 1 'Come, and trip it as ye go On the light fantastic toe.'

jeremy1986 Posted November 2, 2017 Posted November 2, 2017 Sounds great. Enjoy Interesting that they seem to have the zip on the outside?
Cali Posted November 2, 2017 Posted November 2, 2017 The heel is called a stiletto wedge. I have a Victoria's Secret sandal with a stiletto wedge. 1

Cali Posted November 3, 2017 Posted November 3, 2017 Thanks jeremy. I got these at DSW during their boot sale two weeks ago, get $20 off a pair next week...getting the blue suede version then. 2
Popular Post Rockpup Posted November 4, 2017 Popular Post Posted November 4, 2017 Got a pair of 100mm boots I think I could live in. Walked around Disney springs for two hours and am not sore today 10 (formerly known as "JimC")
