Womer_uk Posted August 8, 2010 Posted August 8, 2010 Hi, Just seen this on, "The Guardian's" web site, According to the vid, these are the coming thing ! http://www.guardian.co.uk/lifeandstyle/video/2010/aug/07/how-to-dress-high-heeled-hiking-boots
wood&metal Posted August 9, 2010 Posted August 9, 2010 ick!.... Never frown because you never know who is falling in love with your smile.
Nova Posted August 9, 2010 Posted August 9, 2010 Good idea, conceptually, but the heel would look much nicer if it was a matching color and had at least some subtle curvature to it. It kind of looks like they bolted on a block of wood. I usually like wedges, but those don't look graceful and don't really match the rest of the shoe. If all the world's a stage, I want to operate the trap door.
JohnH Posted August 9, 2010 Posted August 9, 2010 Definitely not my glass of whiskey (instead of cup of tea). That also goes for high-heel sneakers. In my mind high-heeled shoes should light graceful things.
wetshoe2 Posted August 10, 2010 Posted August 10, 2010 i agree. would much rather see the classic dressy heels. wouldnt mind seeing those worn hiking though. especially since they have open toes would be interesting to see them worn through mud.
lorriette Posted August 11, 2010 Posted August 11, 2010 Seems to be a new trend. The morning television show had them in its fashion slot. totter along into history
benno Posted August 11, 2010 Posted August 11, 2010 Hiking heels have been all over the fashion mags for the last year or so. They have been and gone and come back again at shops like Topshop and River Island here in the UK. I like them.
roniheels Posted August 13, 2010 Posted August 13, 2010 I liked the Tommy Hilfiger boot. In the right color, I would wear those to work.
jetheelsfan Posted August 16, 2010 Posted August 16, 2010 The first (worn by hostess) and the third (black-lace-to-the-toe) pairs look like high heeled boots styled to look like the orthopedic boots that were used in the 1950's for attaching polio braces. The third pair would be an exact copy if it had the tongue closing the toe and continuing up the instep under the laces. Interesting designs to see if they take off. I doubt they would do well for rugged hiking trails but they look like fun shoes to wear. Just a bit higher to to delight - low enough for healthy foot comfort and great beginning.
saudade Posted August 16, 2010 Posted August 16, 2010 I think these are awesome. The price, not so much. http://couture.zappos.com/n/p/dp/68745884/c/238270.html

The price, not so much. http://couture.zappos.com/n/p/dp/68745884/c/238270.html Those look like a remade pair of J-Lo boots that were popular a few years back. Being mentally comfortable in your own mind is the key to wearing heels in public.
BobHH Posted August 27, 2010 Posted August 27, 2010 Tory Burch Howard Wedge Hiking Boots - only $395. Supposed to be in Teen Vogue. The also have stiletto hiking boots!
mtnsofheels Posted August 27, 2010 Posted August 27, 2010 Well the boots in the video do not appear to be any different in style to the summers Bootie series in most places this year. The talk of hiking heels seems to be talk. The Tory Burch boots look really nice durable, the other ones from Zappos indeed look like the boots which J-Lo wore a few years back as pointed out by Bubba. I tried to fine those ones but they disappeared before I found them. I would go for the Tory Burch boots for hiking in, just seem to be closer to the intended wording "High Heeled Hiking Boots" Some time ago another ad ran with a pair of "High Heeled Climbing Shoes" which seemed to be rather fun, but only a photo shopped version..... The mind wanders.... Mtnsofheels

Trolldeg Posted August 28, 2010 Posted August 28, 2010 Couldn't see anything "hiking" about any of the boots in that video...
IBL70 Posted August 28, 2010 Posted August 28, 2010 Can be my next purchase for winter ! http://www.andre.fr/collection/femme/vancouver/gradin-587.html
Histiletto Posted August 29, 2010 Posted August 29, 2010 It may seem like an oxymoron to have high heeled hiking boots, but with peep toes too? When I think of the original purpose boots were made to serve, I can't help but peer with disaproval for these type of monstrosities. Well! It's my opinion! (with tongue spitting action accompaniment)
IBL70 Posted August 29, 2010 Posted August 29, 2010 I agree these shoes were not the refinement of certain feminine shoes , they can look very uggly , I give you grants , but it makes, me say that they just finally invented the first heel shoe for man. Under a pair of jeans if you hide correctly the heel nobody will notice , then people will get used to , will be more understanding and tolerant and accept the idea of man in heels , and at the end no need to hide them anymore . That may be the beginning of the victory , in a kind of way these shoes can defend our cause . For that i accept them in my closet .
Bubba136 Posted August 29, 2010 Posted August 29, 2010 Can be my next purchase for winter ! http://www.andre.fr/collection/femme/vancouver/gradin-587.html I like them. I'd wear them almost anywhere this winter with jeans and a parka. Being mentally comfortable in your own mind is the key to wearing heels in public.
saudade Posted August 30, 2010 Posted August 30, 2010 Can be my next purchase for winter ! http://www.andre.fr/collection/femme/vancouver/gradin-587.html Perfect, thats exactly what I think of for a high heel hiking boot. Holes in a boot seem odd.
BobHH Posted September 14, 2010 Posted September 14, 2010 Today in Zappos newsletter someone was asking about high heel hiking boots. She said that flat shoes hurt her feet/legs and did anyone know of high heels for hiking? The answers were pretty much along the lines of "You will kill yourself!" by falling, etc. All recommended that she start wearing lower heels to stretch her tendons, etc.
