deck Posted March 12, 2004 Posted March 12, 2004 :Do you think court shoes (not sandals) look better with or without tights/stockings ? Although I think they look great with tights etc. I really prefer my wife to wear high heeled courts with bare feet and a sexy dress or skirt.
Bubba136 Posted March 12, 2004 Posted March 12, 2004 court shoes, or pumps for those of us on this side of the pond, look better, feel better and are better with stockings of some sort. Being mentally comfortable in your own mind is the key to wearing heels in public.
Paul (North-East) Posted March 12, 2004 Posted March 12, 2004 I agree with Bubba, Court shoes deffinitely look better with hose. In fact I prefer all shoes to be worn with them. So much sexier I think. Paul.
new_look Posted March 13, 2004 Posted March 13, 2004 i like both looks but i think the bare legs look looks sexy. the tights/stockings tend to look a rather older style fashion.
deck Posted March 13, 2004 Author Posted March 13, 2004 I can see that opinions on this are divided. My wife likes wearing high heels of all types but hates wearing hose of any description and never does so. She either keeps her feet bare or wears socks with shoes or boots when it is too cold to do so. Last night we went out for a meal at a smart restaurant and she wore 4 inch high heel pumps with bare feet and looked great !
JaBe Posted March 13, 2004 Posted March 13, 2004 I agree with Bubba, Court shoes deffinitely look better with hose. In fact I prefer all shoes to be worn with them. So much sexier I think. Paul. I agree with you. A nice shiny hose I prefer. Very sexy and elegant when worn with a skirt.
deck Posted March 13, 2004 Author Posted March 13, 2004 I totally disagree that all high heels look better with hose rather than worn with bare feet. Wearing tights or stockings with sandals is a definite No-no - an absolute fashion disaster. As I posted earlier, my wife hates any hose and never wears them. She loves wearing high heels, especially when we go out together and loves sandals compared to Court shoes / pumps. She wears bare feet in sandals right throughout the year when we go out together and says her feet never get too cold. She recently bought a pair of very sexy sandals - 4 inch stiletto heels and very thin black straps just to keep them on - very minimalist. Worn with bare feet - of course and red nails - both fingers and toes - is the ultimate look for my wife as far as I am concerned and I feel so great when we go out together and see other guys looking at her. Do any girls have any views on this issue ?
Bubba136 Posted March 14, 2004 Posted March 14, 2004 variety is the spice of life, as the old saying goes. Also, what ever turns you on, etc. These are opinions on likes and dislikes. I'm glad there are so many different opinions. Makes the world go 'round. Being mentally comfortable in your own mind is the key to wearing heels in public.

Very true Deck, your wife sounds a very sexy lady. I also love bare feet with red toe nails, especially in sandals or mules, but here's why I prefer hose. My wife usually wears hose with mules and yes, it does make them slippy on her feet. She loses one now and then, but it's all part of the pleasure for me to replace it on her foot! Paul.
RubberVicki Posted March 14, 2004 Posted March 14, 2004 Thought you might like a womens point of view, personally I love the effect of wearing hose with my courts, especially stockings or hold ups and the shinier the better. Very elegant I believe. Vicki X
deck Posted March 14, 2004 Author Posted March 14, 2004 To Rubbervicky, Don't you prefer bare feet when you are wearing sandals ?
Skirted-UK Posted March 14, 2004 Posted March 14, 2004 I think tights/stockings look good on women, but not when worn with sandals. I tried tights but I gave up on them in the end. I found that they were just too much trouble, they are difficult to get on and they ladder easily. The cheaper ones seem to be made of a very abrasive fabric which drags on the hemline of a straight skirt when walking, which I find irritating. The best tights I found are Elbeo Caress support tights, they are very strong and have a slippery texture which does not cline to the hemline of a skirt. They were difficult to get on and are expensive at £7.00 a pair. The only advantage I found with tights is that they make high heel court shoes more comfortable. Nowadays I prefer to wear court shoes and a skirt with bare legs. I much prefer to feel the lining of a skirt on my bare legs, specially in the winter when it's cool.

JayZee Posted March 15, 2004 Posted March 15, 2004 Stockings with courts - NOT with sandals! Tights for any thing! IMHO JayZe "We don't stop playing because we get older - we get older because we stop playing" (with high heels - JayZee)
ice2003 Posted March 15, 2004 Posted March 15, 2004 I like Stockings with courts and with sandals, I can gt over the slip factor, it just adds such a sexy feeling to it.
Jay1 Posted March 15, 2004 Posted March 15, 2004 I personally love the feeling of smooth shiney nylons making my feet very slippery in sandals and mules. It makes it so much harder to walk but soooo much sexier!! The slipperiness is amazing! "If you put your mind to it, you can accomplish anything..." - Dr Emmet L Brown - 1985
deck Posted March 16, 2004 Author Posted March 16, 2004 As I posted the other day, my wife has a pair of sandals with four inch stiletto heels with very narrow straps - more like laces really - round over her toes at the front and then round the back of her heel, crossing over and round the front of her ankles and then tied at the back. She looks great wearing them when we go out - but only in bare feet - I cannot imagine them worn with hose and don't think they would look half so attractive.
chris100575 Posted March 17, 2004 Posted March 17, 2004 Everyone has different likes and dislikes. Personally I never wear shoes or boots with bare feet, except for sandals. On women I like sandals and mules with or without hose. While I like sandals with bare feet generally, I love to see women's feet in nylons. Chris
Anne_Louise Posted March 19, 2004 Posted March 19, 2004 I agree with RubberVickie, hosiery, preferably sheer and glossy, should always be worn with closed shoes. It can look good with sandals or mules but I think anything very strappy looks better with bare feet and painted nails.
stilettofan Posted March 19, 2004 Posted March 19, 2004 You're absolutely right, Anne Louise. And thank you for mentioning the painted nails. You are a lady who knows what style means. High Heels - a true feelgood-factor for everyone
deck Posted March 21, 2004 Author Posted March 21, 2004 I'm sure that sandals with high heels and very narrow straps must look better worn with bare feet and painted toe nails. However, my wife still prefers to wear pumps/court shoes with bare feet rather than hose even if most people reading this prefer hose with closed shoes. Does anyone, apart from my wife and I, think that closed shoes look better with bare feet ?
hjt101 Posted March 21, 2004 Posted March 21, 2004 Overall, shoes look better with bare feet, in my opinion, but it depends on the rest of the outfit. If hose are being worn, let them be closed toe shoes. If the toes are visible, let them be free of coverings. Some dresses look better with colored legs, usually black or white. As long as they are closed toe shoes, I think the hose would work. 1 Proudly standing in my patent High Heels
cosmolovesph Posted May 4, 2004 Posted May 4, 2004 Personally (like my screen name states) I love pantyhose / stockings. Open toe or not I think they are to be worn (no obvious reinfornced toes with open toed) but to me a person who has gone to all the trouble of getting dressed that is the finishing touch (like make up or doing your hair). ----------------------------------------------- Used to be cosmo_loves_PH before the crash!
RonC Posted May 4, 2004 Posted May 4, 2004 Just curious, some mentioned earlier that fashion says hose with sandals is a "no no". I'm wondering when this came about??? For years and years, women wore stockings with all types of shoes, including the age of the re-inforced toe and heel. A woman was not "dressed" without hosiery. Now, women hardly ever wear hose, no matter what type of shoe they are wearing. Personally, I like a stocking encased leg and foot better, but if the shoes are nice, I'm looking there first anyway! I just think that, especially for those women who toes tend to splay out in sandals, a nude color and sandal foot style of hose makes the foot a whole lot better looking.
asdf174 Posted May 4, 2004 Posted May 4, 2004 I like wearing my heels without hose or stockings or nylons. I just think the bare leg look is a sexier look. It's all good. ~Arron.
jchtrumpet Posted May 19, 2004 Posted May 19, 2004 I usually wear pantyhose with all my shoes--it is also part of my dress code at work.
Dawn HH Posted July 21, 2004 Posted July 21, 2004 I wear panty-hose daily with my pumps and boots. You can't beat the feel, fit, and comfort of shoes and boots without wearing panty-hose with them. I never wear sandals and I never go bare-foot. I just don't like the feel of bare-feet sticking to the inner soles of my shoes and boots. When wearing panty-hose, I don't run the risk of getting blisters on my feet either. Cheers--- Dawn HH High Heeled Boots Forever!
virginie Posted July 23, 2004 Posted July 23, 2004 I usually wear no stockings. Especially when I am wearing pumps i find stockings annoying especially with really steep heels. My feet tend to slide forwards with stockings usually. And that is hard on my toes
genebujold Posted July 23, 2004 Posted July 23, 2004 About two weeks ago, I went out with my wife to a punk event. I wore my Franco Sarto boots (see avatar), but was at a lost for what else to wear. I was opting for black pants (I don't have any black leather), but my wife talked me into wearing one of her black leather skirts (mid-thigh) and opaque tights). Wore one of her blouses, too, with chains on the boots, a little makeup, let down my hair, etc... I blended right in. Not one single double-take the whole night. That's the last time I let my wife do my outfit!!! No, seriously, it was fun, and I actually prefer blending in, even though I'd rather go looking like a guy than crossing over, even if it's subtle. My wife said I looked like half a dozen women who you take half a second longer checking out their clothing to be sure they're really women... Only in my case, slight of build, not particularly masculine features, my long hair, a touch of makeup and the right clothes and so long as I don't have to show an ID...
Dawn HH Posted July 25, 2004 Posted July 25, 2004 Genebujold:-) Congratulations on being able to blend in so well. Congratulations to your wife also for helping you dress and providing you parts of your costume and supporting you so very much. Thats great. Unfortunately, I can't blend in like you unless I go the whole route from the skin out, complete inside and out. I'm glad that the two of you had such a good time. Those are the times that you will remember always. Cheers--- Dawn HH High Heeled Boots Forever!
larry Posted July 25, 2004 Posted July 25, 2004 Larry here. My wife always wears stockings or some type of hosiery with pumps, mules, slides or what ever. It must run in the family as her Mom, Sister and Aunts are always in some kind of nylons. Lena sez that she doesnt feel dressed without them....Larry. Love those heels!
