HighBoots Posted August 28, 2005 Posted August 28, 2005 They are trendy this year apparently, you see them everywhere here in France. I usually dislike men's cowboy boots as they are often bulky, but the women's ones are much nicer, thin and elegant, and with a slightly higher heel. I bought this pair at "La Halle aux Chaussures", and in european size 42 ! The heel is 5.5 cm high, enough to "feel" it and still not be too outrageous, and they fit perfectly with a black jeans. I already worn them outdoors for shopping, very very confortable. They are real leather of course, and the sole is rubber. What makes them also very nice as discrete street heeling boots is that the heel is a full rubber block, making them totally silent when you walk. Definitively my nicest and best pair of "casual" streetheeling boots.
Dr. Shoe Posted August 28, 2005 Posted August 28, 2005 I've been running around in a pair of tan boots with not too fancy stitching, plain vamp and 4" heel since February. Graduate footwear designer able to advise and assist on modification and shoe making projects.
dr1819 Posted August 28, 2005 Posted August 28, 2005 I've already seen larger-sized, higher-heeled cowboy boots on the online market. Try Zappos, shoebuy, shoemall, shoeexpress, or some of the others.
high heel lover Posted August 28, 2005 Posted August 28, 2005 I have a simular pair with 6,5 cm heel and i wear them outside under a jeans and nowone notice that they are women boots
Dawn HH Posted August 29, 2005 Posted August 29, 2005 Here in the U.S. I have seen more and more cowgirl boots in the stores and catalogs, but with the same shape and heel height as the men's cowboy boots. Maybe the higher heels will appear at a later date and I will be keeping my eye peeled for a pair in my size. Cheers--- Dawn HH High Heeled Boots Forever!
Bubba136 Posted August 29, 2005 Posted August 29, 2005 Please be sure to let us know if you find a pair, Dawn. Being mentally comfortable in your own mind is the key to wearing heels in public.
Dawn HH Posted August 29, 2005 Posted August 29, 2005 I sure will, Bubba. I already have a couple of pairs of knee boots with that western flair which I like the looks of very much and I sure would like more. They are quite stealthy under long jeans and look very much like men's western boots except for the heel height. Cheers--- Dawn HH High Heeled Boots Forever!
sendra45 Posted August 29, 2005 Posted August 29, 2005 I would not mind finding a pair like that in a UKsize 10. but no luck so far! The angels have the phonebox.
Thighboots2 Posted August 30, 2005 Posted August 30, 2005 Nigel, www.tallgirls.co.uk Have cowboy boots. Have a look. I have a black pair and should get myself a brown pair too. 2.25" heel. The heel is solid "chipboard" so there is no hollow sound to it. The supplied rubber heel material will wear out quite quickly, however, the shoe menders will put on a proper thick rubber heel for you in minutes. Highly recommended, and Tallgirls give a good service too. This is heeling, albeit low, that ANY guy can wear with jeans and NEVER raise an eyebrow. Now put on a cowboy hat and people will stare (in the UK that is). Wear spurs with jinglebobs to complete the picture Enjoy. TB2 Are you confusing me with someone who gives a damn?
