Bubba136 Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 La Piazza seems not to have any concept of time. I have a similar problem with them once. I cancelled my order after waiting over a year. I paid for my purchase with a credit card and let them fight to get my refund, which I eventually did. Being mentally comfortable in your own mind is the key to wearing heels in public. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're from Skyscrapers http://www.sky-scrapers.co.uk/index.php/knee-boots/gabrielle-knee-high-boot-with-side-zip.html Bought quite a few pairs from here recently as they seem to suit my foot shape.

They arrived this week so have been out and about today breaking them in. Simple yet sophisticated. Everything works well the tight pants and overcoat fitted rather well. Indeed well done as are the pictures. Enjoyed the picture with the woman on her phone. You can tell she had to be envious and a bit shocked seeing you walk on by. Terrific job of the post. Pricey boots on order bet they fit like a glove and comfortable as well. You seem justifiable proud when you walk and anyone giving you grief for your outfit has to be jealous. You probably leave having many watch your backside as they admire your style. Wish i could walk in those five inch stilettos boots also great subtle colour yet not to flashy or ordinary black. Definitely envy you with delight. Well done you must be proud of yourself.. Love it! If indeed if you want to best anyone around i've seen a terrific Burberry female military trench coat in a unique blue that would look spectacular. Sort of like this colour (first link below) yet not the style seems difficult to find. My sister owns one looks really nice would go great with the boots. See picture of the pink overcoat yet the colour i'm looking for is blue like first link. If i could copy your style i would get same color boots in suede and the color trench/pea wool overcoat from burberry with a big long cashmere scarf, it would be jaw dropping. https://wornontv.net/29350/ https://us.burberry.com/womens-trench-coats/?trail=36038%3A100299 Believe myself if i wore your boots outfitted like i said above in the shopping district of town, there wouldn't be a woman that hated the style or appearance. Of coarse the initial shock being a male in them would subside and woman would follow the same appearance looking to buy the same boots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be able to go out in public doing ordinary every day things with wife or friends while openly wearing such high stiletto heels must be fantastic - I'm jealous! The postings and photos are appreciated - its a real encouragment for myself and many others i'm sure. I'd love to see a video clip from some public outings and hear the clip-clop! What sort of reactions do you get when out & about? H. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aristoc Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 Hey guys thanks for all your great comments, really appreciated. MackyHeels; Thanks for the fashion tips. The Burberry trench coats look great! Equality; They come in lots of colours including black! http://www.sky-scrapers.co.uk/index.php/knee-boots/gabrielle-knee-high-boot-with-side-zip.html JeffB; Thank you. Heels are 5.5" pebblesf; Great comment 'wearing Nikes'. Love it! hpsabre; Not sure about nirvana but sure is a buzz! Most outings thankfully uneventful but generally any reactions are mixed, never bad, more surprise I suppose. Usually any compliments/approving nods will be from the ladies but even these are rare. Fairly new to going out in boots though - they do seem to make a statement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never worn anything higher than five inches (a pair of thigh boots), and even then, infrequently as I value comfort over height since I do a goodly amount of walking and standing on my outings. How are they to walk in? And what about comfort, especially over long periods of wear? I don't want to LOOK like a woman, I just want to DRESS like a woman!

I have quite a few pairs of skyscrapers (made by ex. Leatherworks) pumps, oxfords and more recently boots all with same height heel. They seem to suit my foot shape, fit well and with a classic heel profile (centre of gravity and all that) feel good to walk in. Having said all that I wouldn't describe them as comfortable, but bearable and definitely not painful for extended wear. I have, on occasion, worn them all day with a mix of standing, sitting and walking, but more usually out in the evening which can be four hours plus. I find silicone gel pad inserts help reduce the dreaded foot burn if standing for long periods. Vain or what! 1 hour ago, Prutske255 said: Some pairs are also for sale on EBAY .

I just drive my car with those boots on and make short walks on quiet areas. Use care when driving with heels, not that it affects your driving, rather it is very easy to wreck the leather above the heel when working the pedals. As for walking in quiet areas... you really are better off in crowded areas. Those are good looking boots. Show them off over jeans. https://photos6.rubbersole.co.uk/photos/159/159635/159635_350_B.jpg I dream of a world where chickens can cross roads without having their motives questioned.

I've never worn anything higher than five inches (a pair of thigh boots) @JeffB I thought your thigh boots were 4". Make sure before you climb into the 5.5" realm. Also you or I would have to work at it to make those boots look as good on us as @aristoc does on him. Neither of us are that slim.

Rockpup Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Aristoc: how is the sizing compared to other brands? Website says to add a full size. (formerly known as "JimC") Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aristoc Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Hi Rockpup, I always find it so difficult to advise on size/fit between manufacturers/styles as it's such a personal thing. I have a few pairs of Skyscrapers, and personally have found them fairly accurate to ladies sizing, at least in my size UK8/EU41. I do however prefer a snug fit, and when new generally feel too small, but soon feel fine after a bit of use......they are all leather uppers so this helps. Perhaps need to watch the width as they are a ladies last after all! Half sizes are available on all their range which is a bonus....the knee boots and a pair of oxfords I have are UK8.5....useful as I have the option to wear socks with these when cold. I'm a UK9 in men's 'boats' by the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockpup Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 UK8 is actually what I'd intended on ordering. Are there any other brands of heels you've got that you know your size in? Curious as it will be easier to compare a brand I can find over here then to order a pair and either exchange or have to sell off if they do not fit. I am usually a UK7/EU40 in heels, but yea, my Sidi MX boots are 42.. odd. (formerly known as "JimC") Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aristoc Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 As a well known brand I take a UK9 in Pleaser Domina's. They are a slightly loose fit but the UK8 Domina is just too tight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
