The High Heeled Ruminations Of Melrose Plant

[Shyheels]

Very presentable - and a cheerful look against the drab of winter

[CrushedVamp]

I concur. It is nice to see embolden people with wearing embolden colors like red!

[mlroseplant]

I think, but I am not sure, that after 13+ years, that just maybe I am finally beginning to get the hang of this whole high heel thing.

Another totally random comment, but what do you guys, and our one gal, think about these earrings/earclips? I don't know what to properly call them. Worn in real life by one of my female friends. My personal opinion is still not completely settled.

I used the word "totally" twice in one short paragragph. It seemed awkward.

[Shyheels]

They don’t do much for me, I have to say

[Mr. X]

Nothing against it. But not my cup of tea either.

They are called ear clips because they clip on the ear around it folds.  Like @Shyheels, they don't do much for me. But I can see potential with respect to hearing aids.

I like them, and I can see the potential in them, I am just not sure this particular piece (or pieces) I care for.

I think it is the tarnished color of them.

Being jewelry, I would prefer to see more polished silver or gleaming gold. What exactly is represented? I am not sure: the creativity of people in the world amazes me so it will be interesting to see where jewelry designers take this. But it is nice to see a differing form of jewelry emerging.

Not a fan either.

Happy Heeling,

Sure interesting, but not really my thing. I'm more for simple and smaller things.

I was talking with a friend of mine the other day who said, "R. doesn't believe me when I say that four inch heels are comfortable." My response: "Yeah, I'm the only one who believes you."

[Shyheels]

And they are comfortable - as long as you buy decently made, decently fitting heels there is no reason to be uncomfortable.

My 12cm heels may be a challenge for me to walk in gracefully, but they are not uncomfortable, at least not in a painful sort of way.

Almost nobody believes me that any heels can be comfortable, not even speaking of 4 inch heels...

[CrotchHigh]

I agree with you 4” heels are comfortable and great for wearing all day.

Since I have the time on my hands at the moment, I finally dove in and attacked my shoe problem. As a result, I now have a little bit of shelf space where I had none before. I am prepared to do a new shoe inventory, the first in two years. There are significant changes since then.

For now, I want to share with you a pair of sandals that I actually threw away. You would think I'd have noticed this defect before, and I guarantee they weren't always like this, but how did the heel of this shoe become so badly bent? I cranked on it pretty good trying to figure it out, and the heel is quite securely attached. The only thing I can think of is that the shank has become twisted somehow without actually breaking, which wouldn't surprise me a bit, because they are (or were) Michael Kors, a brand I've had long experience with, and they all have weak shanks. What do you think?

[Shyheels]

Yes I would say it sounds as though the shank itself twisted. That’s a pity, they look like nice sandals.

I'm actually starting to wonder if the left heel on my 12cm boots isn’t slightly off vertical - it just doesn’t feel quite right, yet it is fixed firmly to the boot. I hope it’s not off because these are my only 12cm heels
