Day 2 in Melbourne

i looked and had to try them on. WOWEE they are bright.

So did you get them and wear them to the show?

Keep in mind that this was 30 years ago but the first pair of tall boots I bought were leather in that color.  I did not have the nerve to wear them and had them dyed black.  I don't regret that decision because I have gotten many miles out of that pair of boots, but today I would have left them their original color and had fun with them.

Yes, they are bright. I had no trouble picking them out from across the street from my hotel there. Really couldn't miss them in the display window

Well done. Any reactions you got wearing your outfit? +, -

 We both wear similar jean jeggings only I yet to own or wear a nice stilleto bootie like yourself.  

At first glance Iooking at your pictures I chuckled. Then realized I have that type of style myself. Very streamlined finished with some great booties or shoeties..

i don't know about you but when people see me in my jeggings and block heel booties it tends to surprise them. Again can't blame some laughing at me or commenting looking like a girl. Once people see you enough tends to be comfortable to the style. Then they look closer analyze you and some might compliment the way you look. 

Sorry i hadn't replied earler. My bad !

Reactions: a few heads turned but not many. 1 comment from the bar girl who was amazed at my boots and said how much she lived the look. I got quite the personal attention

yet to own a pair: these from ebay. So no excuses. Try a pair and find 1 you like.

streamlined: wow, thank you. (I think)

compliments: almost always, never had a negative. From a simple 'love your shoes' to a longer chat about how and why etc. 

thanks for your comments

Melbourne trip evening 4

wow, been busy. Came up to skybar tonight and the wait staff recognised me as a regular. (I suppise i stand out a tad)

I started chatting with them looking at bar snack menu. Asked about a cheese or messe plate........ then one of them found a leftover antipasto plate from a function. OMG beautiful !!

2 other staff made passing comments of love your heels and those boots are gorgeous, wish i could wear heels like you do

so sitting here with freebie dinner and a beer. NICE !

Enjoy

Very nice look and enjoyable trip you have  

[swedeheeler]

As always very nice pics  and fun to hear about your trips @Sydheel I like your white booties. They look great.

I want to do similar trips as well but my job just keeps on in one city, and thats the city i live nearby.

Some really neat outfits, good compliments & a free chow  .

I would've taken these boots & run.

 

[Sydheel]

Will be out of action for a while

i seem to have been silly enough to rupture my ACL so no heeling for some months i think

[Shyheels]

Yipes! How did you do that?

Huge sympathies. That's dreadful. Surgery?  

[mlroseplant]

Ohhhhh. That is a bummer. I hope the healing process is a speedy one.

[pebblesf]

you guys look GREAT in those boots....Someday I will have a white and red pair, so hot

Ouch.  Consider that there is some pleasure to be derived in just wearing a pair of boots even without walking. 

Get well quick.

[Shyheels]

Good point, that!

[swedeheeler]

Ouch!!! I hope you will have a good healing procedure. Get well.

[Sydheel]

Thanks all

tis a pity as well as i have just won an auction fir a pair of high heel ZU boots

oh well, i can try them on maybe, just no walking in them

[Steve63130]

Syd,

The road to recovery has no speed limit! Go as fast as you can, mate!

Playing soccer

and yes 

[Shyheels]

I thought it might be something like that. Prognosis? Does it affect your work? As TBG says, you can at least put your feet up in nice boots, even if you daren't take a step in them.

That's what happens from playing a girls sport with wannabe actors  .

Eina! I feel your pain. Good luck with the surgery & recovery. Take your time, I had a work colleague who couldn't wait to start walking without the brace, ended up having to go under the knife again.

Put the boots on , feet up on a pedestal, get a small bell & a butler. Life's sorted!!

After surgery they often put your foot in a motion restricting boot (generally black).  To balance things out wear a black low heeled boot on the other leg.  This actually looks pretty good and it lets you keep enjoying wearing boots.  I have recommended this to several female friends that have had to wear a restricting boot and they both gave me a puzzled look and said, "I never thought of that" and the next day were wearing a pair of boots that didn't exactly match but looked good.

Take it easy and get well soon.

Well Its update time

MRI came back with ACL intact. Lots of minor damage compared to what we feared. A cracked bone, a tear in cartlidge lots of things strained and stretched  but by doing that the knee was saved. 

My doc said its a 1% chance and good cycling muscles saved it

upshot 6-8 weeks off, no surgery v 6-9 months plus surgery 

very very very relieved !!!!!

[Shyheels]

Congratulations on the miracle escape!

Good old cycling muscles...they've saved my bacon a few times.

Very glad to hear you will avoid surgery -  that's wonderful news. Better buy a lottery ticket and crack open a nice bottle of something

[CPB]

Very happy to hear that the damage isn't as bad as expected at first, and that you don't have to go under the knife.

Take it easy & you'll be back to new in no time.

I would prefer to think it was the heeling that saved it. I'd go with that.

Thank you for sharing your good news!

Sounds like you need something to hold things in place while it heals. May I suggest:

They look like they would lace up tight enough to do the trick. 

Just kidding. 

Don't do anything dumb until you are well healed then you can well heeled again.  Hang in there six weeks in flats isn't the end of the world (it only seems that way).
