Negative comments are usually from the most frustated individuals, or perhaps women that might be feeling a little insecure in projecting their sexuality.

The (very) few times I have been asked, I tell them that I got the heels to wear to a charity event (true), and enjoyed wearing the shoes, now why let then moulder away in a closet somewhere when they can be used for a good purpose and I mention the name of the charity as well. I have to admit that when i did my little Convenience store adventure I was going to mention "A mile in her shoes" if challenged. Then wondered if I had the effrontery to reply with "Why not?" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shyheels Posted March 1, 2023 Share Posted March 1, 2023 No one has ever asked me but if they did I think my instinctive response would be "What business is it of yours?" 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pebblesf Posted March 1, 2023 Share Posted March 1, 2023 No one has ever come out and said the "why" to me, they have only asked if they were hard to walk in. I usually reply they are fairly easy to walk in and are comfortable. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mlroseplant Posted March 2, 2023 Share Posted March 2, 2023 It has been many years since somebody actually asked "why," and I usually answered as briefly as possible, "because I like them." Nowadays, the two main things strangers say, as noted by several others above, are "How do you walk in those/I can't believe you can walk in those" and some version of "I really like your shoes." 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to be very careful when someone brings up that subject, as to whether they are actually interested, or whether they are just idly curious. I suppose I should say something humorous like, "The jury is still out on that. I'll let you know the verdict by the time I get back home." and just see what happens. Usually, however, I am going about my business, thinking of something completely different, and I don't think of these clever things on the spot. Not until it's about 30 seconds too late, anyway. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cali Posted March 4, 2023 Share Posted March 4, 2023 Timberland is a brand. @spikesmike you probaly never heard of them because they don't make stilettos. It's just too tough to hike in stilettos. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just too tough to hike in stilettos. There are these, however, which appear to have been made under the 'Timbaland' [note spelling] label; 13.5cm heel and 3cm platform.

Shyheels Posted March 5, 2023 Share Posted March 5, 2023 (edited) I’d be deeply distrustful of the quality of anything coming from a company calling itself Timbaland. I suspect all of the effort there would have gone into coming up with the misleading name. Edited March 5, 2023 by Shyheels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hiddenheels Posted December 23, 2023 Author Share Posted December 23, 2023 (edited) Oops, went Christmas shopping and forgot to hide my heels! [it's a skirt] Was wondering around the plaza for about 3 hours. No one said a word, although I saw some people do double-takes. Heels are 4.5".
