blueparrot Posted September 10, 2012 Posted September 10, 2012 Those boots look great! What size did you get and what is the actual measured height of the heel. They are size 11 and the heel is 4".
Redboots Posted September 10, 2012 Posted September 10, 2012 I just bought a towering pair of white platform thigh boots. They really are a double hight platform but they are easier to walk in than a recent pair of very high heel red thigh boots that I bought. I don't know why manufacturers seem to think if someone buys thigh boots they must want heels that are 5, 6 or 7" high.

I don't know why manufacturers seem to think if someone buys thigh boots they must want heels that are 5, 6 or 7" high. Your comments here are not very clear, at least without a proper description or picture of your new boots. How high are the heels? Obviously, a non-platform boot will have a steeper arch than a platform boot with the same heel height and will probably be easier to walk in. But why should platform thigh boots be more appealing (to wearers or manufacturers) than non-platform boots, as you imply? Personally, I think that most platform thigh boots look ugly, particularly if the platform is thick. A non-platform boot with a 4" stiletto can look a lot more appealing than a boot with a 5" or 6" heel and a 1" platform.

Puffer Posted September 21, 2012 Posted September 21, 2012 Nice boots, Barney. All you need now is a new face and you can go out in public with confidence.
Steve63130 Posted September 21, 2012 Posted September 21, 2012 Puffer, Ugly is in the eye of the beholder! LOL Steve

chingsta Posted October 6, 2012 Posted October 6, 2012 I'm seriously considering buying these, but I'm just not ready to plunk down $120 yet... http://www.zappos.com/product/8034188/color/374398
JeffB Posted October 6, 2012 Posted October 6, 2012 I'm seriously considering buying these, but I'm just not ready to plunk down $120 yet... http://www.zappos.co...88/color/374398 Interesting, but way too frilly for my taste. Now, I base ALL my footwear purchases on this simple question: Would I wear whatever I bought in public? Something like those I wouldn't buy unless all I wanted to do was prance around the house, and spending that sort of money to do nothing more than that would be wasteful. I don't want to LOOK like a woman, I just want to DRESS like a woman!
Steve63130 Posted October 6, 2012 Posted October 6, 2012 I agree with JeffB on this one. Not for me. But hey, if you like them, Chingsta, that's all that really matters. Watch for them to go on sale and take a chance that they'll still have your size available. Or try searching for that model on other sites. Zappos is not always the cheapest. Steve
SleekHeels Posted October 7, 2012 Posted October 7, 2012 I read "frilly" and feared the worst but with a matching blue shirt and a tailored funky white trouser-suit they'd look pretty cool - I guess that'd work with a black suit too. The peeptoe is calling out for red painted nails. Having said that £130 (£80) is more than I'd be prepared to spend on a style I wouldn't wear regularly, especially for suedette rather than real suede. If you like it, wear it.
ilikekicks Posted October 7, 2012 Posted October 7, 2012 Not designer brands, actually ' cheap ' is what these are. They were bought for me without my knowing. I kinda like the shorter ones grip. I've tried them on but havent walked around in them yet. Shorter pair.. Taller pair.. The taller pair is actually able to reach a good 3-4inches above my knee.. more like a thigh boot. I actually wore them out for a stint to a local Taco shop this past evening. They go great with a shorter skirt. REPEATEDLY ARGUMENTATIVE, INSULTING AND RUDE. BANNED FOR LIFE.
JeffB Posted October 7, 2012 Posted October 7, 2012 Bravo, ilikekicks! I especially like the taller pair! Good purchases all around! I don't want to LOOK like a woman, I just want to DRESS like a woman!
Shafted Posted October 7, 2012 Posted October 7, 2012 They're suede, what's not to love? Shafted, the boots that is!

Thighbootguy Posted October 7, 2012 Posted October 7, 2012 Not designer brands, actually ' cheap ' is what these are. They were bought for me without my knowing. So who bought you the nice looking boots? (There has got to be a story there.) And where did the get them? I dream of a world where chickens can cross roads without having their motives questioned.
ilikekicks Posted October 8, 2012 Posted October 8, 2012 So who bought you the nice looking boots? (There has got to be a story there.) As of next month, I will call her my wife And where did the get them? I believe the name of the store was ' CW Price '. Neither pair was over 20$US. REPEATEDLY ARGUMENTATIVE, INSULTING AND RUDE. BANNED FOR LIFE.
SleekHeels Posted October 8, 2012 Posted October 8, 2012 I have to agree, the taller pair would look great with a short skirt, whereas I can picture the first pair with a long skirt (or skinny jeans of course). Both nice looking boots though - I love the suede texture and cross-over straps on the taller pair, definitely the sort of thing I'd choose if I ever took the plunge and try above-the-knee boots. Enjoy! If you like it, wear it.
bootylover Posted October 10, 2012 Posted October 10, 2012 Just bought a pair of Gucci from a Chinese website....see link below http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a230r.1.10.122.1a0523&id=15003624891
Jimnj3 Posted October 10, 2012 Posted October 10, 2012 As of next month, I will call her my wife Congratulations! You lucky guy! I believe the name of the store was ' CW Price '. Neither pair was over 20$US. I like the tall over the knee boots the best!
radiodave Posted October 10, 2012 Posted October 10, 2012 I got these G by Guess "Ringster" boots. Very comfortable. http://www.dsw.com/shoe/g+by+guess+ringster+wide+calf+boot?prodId=258539&brand=dsw12brand9800002&activeCats=women,dsw12brand9800002&isBrand=y&categoryName=women
Thighbootguy Posted October 10, 2012 Posted October 10, 2012 As of next month, I will call her my wife I hope she has as good taste in men as she does in footwear. Congratulation and best wishes. I believe the name of the store was ' CW Price '. Neither pair was over 20$US. I did find a CW Price web site (http://www.cw-price.com/) but all it has is store locations, but alas, the closest to me if at least a 5 hour drive so I doubt if I’ll be shopping there. I dream of a world where chickens can cross roads without having their motives questioned.
heels59 Posted October 14, 2012 Posted October 14, 2012 Sometime in the summer I ordered a pair of cowboy boots from Miguel Jones in Mexico. I thought I was specific in my order, but they came through with a rather ordinary heel. I sent them back along with a photoshopped picture of the heel I wanted. I finally got them back again this week. This is the how they look. I've been wearing them a lot to get them broken in. The heel still isn't quite the 3 inches I wanted, but I'm going to wear them awhile until the wife and everyone is familiar with them, then have a local cobbler add an inch or so the the bottom of the heel, along with a metal tap. The other pair of boots I've been wearing a lot are these Madden Girl slip-on boots from DSW. I've worn these like work boots for over a year in all kinds of conditions from jobsites, to blowing snow to pressure washing to cutting down and hauling off a tree. Love doing it all in heels

This is a somewhat disappointing report on your MJ bespoke boot order, in that your instructions were not followed. How did you originally specify the heel shape and height (e.g. description, picture or what) ? Do the boots run true to size and fit comfortably? Although the balance of the boot does not look quite right to me, I am rather doubtful that you could add a full extra inch to the heel without spoiling the look or straining the shank etc. Please let us see the result.
heels59 Posted October 14, 2012 Posted October 14, 2012 Puffer, I originally ordered the boots to have a heel like his #2004 boot pictured here I said that the heel should be 2.5 to 3 inches. The first was under 2, this one is 2.5. I probably won't add a full inch, but at least a half. I want the heel print on the floor to be about an inch square. Fit is great as it should be when custom measured.

dcheeler Posted October 19, 2012 Posted October 19, 2012 Just wanted to share my favorite pair of boots. I got them a few months ago but haven't been able to get a photo to post until recently. I don't know the style but they are size 11 Guess leather boots with a 5 inch heel and a 3/4 inch platform that come up to my mid calf. They zip up and they are my favorite boot or shoe I own. http://hhplace.org/gallery/image/1885-/ http://hhplace.org/gallery/image/1883-guess-boots-2/ http://hhplace.org/gallery/image/1882-guess-boots-1/
LarWhe78 Posted October 21, 2012 Posted October 21, 2012 I bought my first pair of heels, Pleaser Electra boots, just a couple of weeks ago. I went with a chunky heel because I thought it might be a little easier to get the hang of, plus I'm 6'3" and probably need something a little sturdy. I like them a lot.

Thighbootguy Posted October 22, 2012 Posted October 22, 2012 Not being a fan of platforms, I must admit they do look good. Great first choice and I'm sure it won't be your last. Is that 6'3" without heels? I dream of a world where chickens can cross roads without having their motives questioned.
