tightlevisandhhboots Posted August 15, 2005 Posted August 15, 2005 Hey all, I have been looking for some new boots for street heeling. I am looking for black, blade or block heel in the 3 to 4" range. I do not want platforms, as they are not at ll comfortable to walk in like a normaled soled boot. I really like Cowboy boots, but I am open for others too. Any leads would be appreciated. Unfortunately, like Jeff, Finding larger boots that are really cool and sexy, but are not considered "fetish" are hard to find. Thanks in advance, tightlevisandhhboots The Poll sizes are in US Sizes, Thanks!
barney15c Posted August 15, 2005 Posted August 15, 2005 Are you talking about a US or a UK size 12 in your poll? In the land of the blind, the one eyed man is king!!!
Ionic Posted August 15, 2005 Posted August 15, 2005 hi, it really helps if you locate yourself west or east of The Pond, or elsewhere in the world, even if you can't be more specific than that. cheers. /I /I

Bubba136 Posted August 24, 2005 Posted August 24, 2005 Hey Shiela Ann, nice boots! I'd wear them with jeans in the fall and winter. Being mentally comfortable in your own mind is the key to wearing heels in public.
Shiela Ann Posted August 24, 2005 Posted August 24, 2005 Hi Bubba, I think the boots will be great with jeans. I haven't received them yet. I just ordered them this past Friday and expect them to arrive any day. I normally wear a 12 M but ordered the wide width so that I can wear them with regular socks in the cold :x of winter.

tightlevisandhhboots Posted August 25, 2005 Author Posted August 25, 2005 Thanks for all the replies! If anyone knows where I could find a pair of HH Cowboy boots, llike 4"+ heels, I'ld like to know. The other street boot I'ld like to find is a pair of Logger style lace-up boots with a 3+" heel. Thanks again, TightLevis+HHBoots
Shiela Ann Posted August 25, 2005 Posted August 25, 2005 Hi, You might try the following URL for some western boots up to 5." I have never ordered from them so I can't speak for their reputation. They do have some very nice looking western style high heel boots on their web site. http://www.westernranchboots.net/high-heels.htm Shiela Ann
BobHH Posted August 26, 2005 Posted August 26, 2005 Our local western store has high heeled cowboy boots for women - a limited selection, though, and no large sizes.
Bubba136 Posted August 27, 2005 Posted August 27, 2005 While these aren't cowboy boots, I still believe they are quite sexy. Being mentally comfortable in your own mind is the key to wearing heels in public.
tightlevisandhhboots Posted August 27, 2005 Author Posted August 27, 2005 Thanls for the input! My 3 1/2" heeled cowboy boots were made by Western Ranch Boots before the company disolved. I have talked to the current owner, and two of the boot makers and he are trying to start back up the company offering the same styles they did before. Many guys and gals lost money from the old company as it disolved, I think I was one of the last pairs of boots that made it out of there before the troubles. My boots are Very Well Made!! and I love the fit and the performance of them. I have been toying with the idea of ordering up another pair though the new owner, but was hoping for some feed back from others before I take the jump. Also the prices have gone up significantly since the last order... BUBBA I like those boots too, but doubt they come in my size... Thanks again, TightLevisandHHBoots
JeffB Posted August 27, 2005 Posted August 27, 2005 WOW! Now there's a fantastic looking pair of boots! Incredible styling! A definite winner in my book! I don't want to LOOK like a woman, I just want to DRESS like a woman!
jim Posted August 27, 2005 Posted August 27, 2005 Payless seem to have a few nice pairs in size 12 and at good prices too.....but those orange jobs leave me stone motherless cold. jim
Shafted Posted August 27, 2005 Posted August 27, 2005 Payless seem to have a few nice pairs in size 12 and at good prices too.....but those orange jobs leave me stone motherless cold. jim I think I would need to see a foot in them so that they have proper shape before I can make a judgement. Shafted, the boots that is!

Bubba136 Posted August 27, 2005 Posted August 27, 2005 I found those boots on eBay.

dr1819 Posted August 27, 2005 Posted August 27, 2005 Payless seem to have a few nice pairs in size 12 and at good prices too.....but those orange jobs leave me stone motherless cold. jim I dunno. I think they would look rather stunning on a snow bunny in a James Bond flick. But that's about as far as my interest would take me...
Ionic Posted August 27, 2005 Posted August 27, 2005 I dunno. I think they would look rather stunning on a snow bunny in a James Bond flick. But that's about as far as my interest would take me... yes, I think they're quite cute too but definitely for the gals not the guys. it's partly because they look like they are a bit higher than the 4" quoted on the ebay listing, nearer 4.5" perhaps. the size is a us7 just under average so that might be deceiving slightly - I've certainly seen j-lo types that measure in at 4.25". /I
jwhite44 Posted November 20, 2008 Posted November 20, 2008 Assuming this thread is still current, Avenue stores (www.avenue.com) sells shoes in wide widths, up to 13. About a month ago I got a Julia ankle boot, 2 7/8" heel, for $18.99 on sale. I don't see it online now, so I guess they change their selection periodically. I'm sure most people already know that Payless is pretty good, as they also have some shoes & boots up to 13W.
