HappyinHeels Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 I agree. Airports and hotels (as well as Las Vegas) are always good places to sit down and watch people....and their heels HappyinHeels 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pierre1961 Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 I agree twice. Best places for watching people. And personnaly the best places for wearing my high heels. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are out of their home environs and on the road, actors in some ongoing story you as the viewer can only guess at. The way they dress offers insight and becomes important. Footwear offees especially intriguing glimpses into their personalities and how they see themselves. The funny thing is, for many years I used to specifically not wear boots when in the airport, because I felt like men's dress shoes would be easier to pull on and off for the TSA checkpoints. It became the only time I would not wear boots. It took years for my to finally realize that pull on boots are actually easier in the airport, because I don't have to fuss with laces. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cali Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 (edited) Knee high, calf high are not so easy at the airport ... get a clear pass and don't take them off. Edited October 2, 2018 by Cali 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a tough one. My knee and Otk boots are all pull ons and while I find putting them in quite easy, removing them for security is a pain because there’s no place to sit down and pull them off. There are places to sit and out your shoes or boots back in once you’ve cleared security, but in the queue for the x-ray machine all you can do is hop around. And if your boots are comfortably snug, as well fitting ones usually are, it is a real time consuming hassle for you and everyone behind you in the queue. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
p1ng74 Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 I can imagine OTK being difficult, but I regularly take my 19" knee high boots through TSA security. Perhaps the more fitted women's boots with zippers are more involved, but with western boots I just grab the heel and yank. It involves a little bit of flexibility, but I have plenty of practice every day with them, and I end up holding the line less than when I bend all the way down to tie and untie shoelaces. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shyheels Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 Mine are riding style or biker style and fairly snugly fitting. Over here you don't usually have to remove your footwear unless you are wearing boots so aside from the hopping around and removing them, I have a further incentive of wearing trainers so I don't have to do anything at all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sydheel Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 Just a quick post, thought I should share in this area as well. Sitting in a nice cafe, having a coffee on the footpath watching the world go by Chinos and 'HOT OPTIONS' leopard print stilettos pumps, 12 cm heel, 1.5 cm platform, 100% synthetic. They are still a bit firm, not tight, just need to soften a little. Easy to walk in and ride scooter in Enjoy your day 3 Regards James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeeledSteve Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 I imagine the Costa staff will be getting a real interest in your "boots or shoes of the day" so to speak. There is usually at least one staff member, usually female who appreciates an alternative style and enjoys seeing what that days trend is. I used to go each Saturday to a local Starbucks always with that weekends coloured nail polish on. One lady there always would check the colour and even ask the details, name make etc if it was a colour she wanted for herself. I can see it won't be long before your boots and shoes are having a similar effect. 1 Addicted to the click Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jkrenzer Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 I have the same thing at my local waffle house every Friday morning. Same customers as well. Some day I should go in with running shoes on and see the reaction. They definitely expect a shoe shoe every Friday morning and I don't disappoint as I'm always in low cut stilettos. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve63130 Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 Expectations are amazing. I know if would wear men's shoes here at our retirement community, after wearing women's for 4 years, that I'd probably cause some heart attacks! So I'll stick with what people expect me to wear.

Shyheels Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 I suspect the desire to meet the expectations of others, or not to disappoint them, is one of the factors that lie behind the reluctance of men to adopt any sort of radical new style 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pierre1961 Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 Absolutely true. But should we meet the expectations of others? For our own mental comfort? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a time and a place for everything. Just like how in a conversation, there is a time to listen, and a time to speak, perhaps we use the same discernment on what to wear. There is a time to “listen” and meet expectations, and a time to “speak” and introduce new ideas. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
