love heels Posted November 6, 2011 Posted November 6, 2011 I found out the other day there was a walk a mile in her shoes meet here last year in Minot N.D. Didn't have one this though.
wetwillie Posted November 7, 2011 Posted November 7, 2011 I just heard about one 11/28 in Cincinati, Ohio.
Heelster Posted November 7, 2011 Posted November 7, 2011 I just heard about one 11/28 in Cincinati, Ohio. That's a Monday?? 99% chance I won't be there this year

Tacchi Alti Posted November 8, 2011 Posted November 8, 2011 Does anyone know why the London walk was postponed or when it might take place? http://globalwalkamileday.thepixelproject.net/the-walk/find-a-global-walk-near-you-walk-listings-2011/ 'Come, and trip it as ye go On the light fantastic toe.'

Foxyheels Posted November 8, 2011 Posted November 8, 2011 Does anyone know why the London walk was postponed or when it might take place? http://globalwalkamileday.thepixelproject.net/the-walk/find-a-global-walk-near-you-walk-listings-2011/ Postponed, no new date set yet. High heels are the shoes I choose to put on, respect my choice as I repect yours.
Heelster Posted November 8, 2011 Posted November 8, 2011 Who's sponsoring it this year. If it's the University crew as last year, I am surprised it's on a Monday. If there is a change of date, post here
wetwillie Posted November 8, 2011 Posted November 8, 2011 I just heard about one 11/28 in Cincinati, Ohio. I just got a reply from the organizer. The walk was held 10/28. The Walk A Mile website had the date wrong! Too bad, I was already shopping for some new boots for the occasion.

Too bad, I was already shopping for some new boots for the occasion. Just about the same time as last year as I recall. Was kinda wondering if they would do it again.
jay jay Posted November 9, 2011 Posted November 9, 2011 We got something similar here in South Africa, called Sisters with Blisters, it is a 8 or 4 km walk, for the abuse against women and children, on 26 November. On one condition men must walk with stillettos. I am going to walk and will post some pictures, as I did last year. I think there are two more SA Heelers that is also going to walk. Come on GUYS and Girls.:smile:
Glosha Posted November 10, 2011 Posted November 10, 2011 Do you know if there is something happening in Toronto, Canada? Dyeing to meet people by interest :-).
Mike Hinch Posted January 14, 2012 Posted January 14, 2012 That was a few years back that I heard of the first or first to me walk a mile. That was the Valley Trauma Center in San Fernando valley. That is doable for me about 48.5 miles to the Sherman Oaks Galleria. At one time I had thought that this is the only way that I would be able to sport high heels outside in the world but now one way or another I can wear my HH just about anywhere that I like. Now for first timers this could be a good start. One of the news articles reported all these guys in high heels and some in skirts. Now for any novices do not go overboard. If to wear a skirt make most conservative and about those heels do like I do when I wear stilettos like be sure to have a square toe like mine that I can wear all day. This way get there early and stay late and wear the heels the whole time. If I get a chance to go that is what I plan to do. While I do not need this for a reason to go HH I still believe and support their cause.
Steve63130 Posted January 15, 2012 Posted January 15, 2012 You can get more information on their web site at: http://walkamileinhershoes.org/ and check their calendar to see what's playing near you in 2012. The one in Columbus, Ohio, in June 2011 was very well attended and we all had a great time! Steve
Mike Hinch Posted January 15, 2012 Posted January 15, 2012 This is really good to know but for some reason they do not all register with that organization like I did not see the Valley Trauma Center listed in Sherman Oaks or any mention of the one in Irvine. Probably because the VTC has their own facility to help the victims of violence so they organize their local event and the other one there must be national to raise funds to distribute nationally. So anyway this is just to let you know that there may be more than what is listed at this one websight. Such a thought to heel to heal the hurt from violent attackers.
wetwillie Posted January 16, 2012 Posted January 16, 2012 I would suggest that if anyone hears of such an event they should post it for anyone who may not be aware.
