It’s wishing I could do it every day!!! That would be awesome. I think maybe we've had this conversation before, because I often wish I could wear heels more often, but do I really wish I could wear them at work? Yeah, for some of it. I would rather enjoy walking the quarter-mile long buildings when I'm in supervisor mode. However, when it comes to doing any actual work like lifting something heavy, carrying something heavy, walking on rocks and/or mud, and many other things---nah, not really. For one thing, I don't want to mess up my good shoes. If I had a job like one of these server techs where I was guaranteed to never have to run outside real quick and take care of something, sure I'd try to push the envelope and wear heels at work. As it is, I'll just let it remain a fantasy. Because, like the song says, sometimes a fantasy is all you need. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shyheels Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 Much of my assignment work is in remote or rough locations where wearing any sort of delicate heel would be foolish - I do have, however, chunky mid-heeled and low-heeled knee boots which work nicely.

Cali Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 I one of the "lucky" ones who wears heels to work all the time. But I wear heels almost everywhere all the time. I avoid gravel especially in stilettos. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SF Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 Well it wasn't work, but the wife and I spent last weekend at a local casino. I wore heels the entire two days, was fun and got a few compliments. sf 1 "Why should girls have all the fun!!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitsysun1400 Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 I’m self employed so it’s much easier sometimes to work nights with no one around, but tonight I’m tidying up the workshop in these 😬 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shyheels Posted September 2, 2022 Share Posted September 2, 2022 Yes, I'm a freelance and so when I am not out on assignment, but writing or editing photos from my kitchen table, I can wear what I please and very often wear heels to work. Given the skyricketing costs of heating, my OTK boots are going to be very much appreciated this winter!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HappyinHeels Posted September 10, 2022 Share Posted September 10, 2022 SF, Don’t know which casino you visited but last January my wife and I met our friends from Yuma at the Fantasy Springs Casino in Indio for bingo. They love it and we gave it a whirl. They drove back to Yuma but we stayed the night then explored Palm Springs and later Joshua Tree National Park. It was a nice getaway.

Jkrenzer Posted September 12, 2022 Author Share Posted September 12, 2022 Old pumps today. Melrose, you'd like these. Steve Madden Darrt. These actually have a thin extremely well hidden platform. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only problem is that they are 9 1/2, and I usually take a 9. However, everything else this lady is selling is a 9. Do they possibly run a little small? Have not yet found a pair in a 9.

If they are newish then I'd say go for it. They do run a tad small, but mine have stretched a bit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mlroseplant Posted September 15, 2022 Share Posted September 15, 2022 I say that I can't wear high heels to work, but I guess I forgot about my side gig, selling egg rolls at farmer's markets. I didn't used to consider it "work," as I was just helping the wife out a little bit, but now it's become more of a big deal, and I'm an essential part of it. We even bought a cargo van recently specifically for the business. I haven't worn true flats yet this year to a market. My "backup" shoes are 2 inches, and I've only had to wear those once when the sole fell off my higher heels. These BCBGeneration thong type wedges actually work well on grass, too. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

highbootsluv Posted September 25, 2022 Share Posted September 25, 2022 I visit many building sites with my work…not sure I would get away with wearing this outfit! Or get away with this one either….. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cali Posted September 25, 2022 Share Posted September 25, 2022 The trouble is that those stilettoes would sink into the ground at construction sites and gravel would be hideous. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shyheels Posted September 25, 2022 Share Posted September 25, 2022 I could never wear heels on any of my assignments - deserts, jungles, Antarctica, heels just wouldn’t work. Happily though I can wear anything I like in my home office and since travel has really died off post-Covid, that means pretty much every day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highbootsluv Posted September 25, 2022 Share Posted September 25, 2022 Working from home has totally changed my boot wearing. Happily I can now do this most days in comfort and my walking in heels has dramatically improved…..practice makes perfect! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shyheels Posted September 25, 2022 Share Posted September 25, 2022 Yes working from home has brought a lot of changes. I used to love all the travel that came with my work, now I am quite happy to be home. I think a lot of people are Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cali Posted September 25, 2022 Share Posted September 25, 2022 I miss in-person. I tend to wear my heels all day when out. But at home I might walk around barefoot half the time. Wearing stilettos around the house is alright, wearing stilettos to work is divine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shyheels Posted September 25, 2022 Share Posted September 25, 2022 In my case it was the flying and the general hassles of international travel that makes me glad to work almost exclusively from home. If I had an office with colleagues I might feel different Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
