micha Posted September 8, 2005 Posted September 8, 2005 When you wear trousers outside the boots, the look of the toe becomes rather important, I think. When you have a high heel, the total length of the sole (from heeltip to toe) becomes rather short. So in this aspect, the long toes of the Steven boots looks alright compared to the newest pair which makes the trousers end where the toes starts. When the trousers covers the heel, ie goes all the way to the ground, this gives sort of crippled look. You are 1.9m long, but from the visible length of your shoes, it looks as you have shoesize 35. Don't get me wrong here, I love the shorter toebox, it's the best style. I just a vision I had when trying them on...any comments... Thighhighs, here my comment: I like both styles I'm crazy about pointy stiletto boots but I'm searching since monthes for vintage cowgirl boots with a classical rounded toe box and moderate stacked heels in my size. Almost impossible ... But you are right! I like the look of my boots under long flared hipjeans too. Doesn't matter if I'm wearing long narrow points or short rounded toeboxes. I'm fascinated by the appearance of a guy balancing on tiny feet ... the higher the heels the shorter my feet. May be that something went wrong with the linking of the neuronal synapses in my brain but I don't care for it anymore nice greetings micha The best fashion is your own fashion!
Mickey S. Posted September 9, 2005 Posted September 9, 2005 Hi micha! I'm crazy about pointy stiletto boots but I'm searching since monthes for vintage cowgirl boots with a classical rounded toe box and moderate stacked heels in my size. Almost impossible ... Try 6inchheelsforever/boots. In that boots-section they have something that is called like "CBTHB - Genuine Leather" (use your browser to find/locate that string). It's almost all the way down at the bottom on that page. Could be something you might like. CU (und viele Grüße aus DD nach Ff/M)! -Mike
thighhighs Posted September 13, 2005 Author Posted September 13, 2005 Hi, I wore the revolver boots at work all day yesterday. They were so nice and no pain at all. The heels are 9 cm so I was a bit tired in the evening, normally I wear 7-8 cm and that extra cm made a difference. Yesterdays outfit: Today I'm wearing another pair of boots I bought (last picture below). It is not (at all) the same quality, but I'm not planning to wear them everyday in 5 years, I've got so much to choose from... We have a chain of shoe stores (is that correct description?) that's called SKOPUNKTEN, they sell 3 pairs for the price of 2, cheapest for free. Earlier they didn't have any styles I liked, but this fall, most of the boots have high thin stilettoe heels and not that long toes. Last friday I bought these 3 pair of boots below for less than a total of $90: These last are the boots I'm wearing today. My favourite boots: Bronx Scarlet Hi, as in my avatar.
Shafted Posted September 13, 2005 Posted September 13, 2005 Wow, what an excellent deal for so many nice pairs of boots. Shafted, the boots that is!

thighhighs Posted September 13, 2005 Author Posted September 13, 2005 Yes, they are cheap. Probably made in an country far-east for low wages, I don't know. They are not in real leather, but they look nice. My favourite boots: Bronx Scarlet Hi, as in my avatar.
Bubba136 Posted September 13, 2005 Posted September 13, 2005 Know what you mean by having to lift your feet a little higher to avoid tripping on the pointed toe. I've two nice pairs of boots that I don't wear much just because of the pointed toe. I don't like the inconvenirnce and having to alter my normal gait. Being mentally comfortable in your own mind is the key to wearing heels in public.
Tommy Posted September 13, 2005 Posted September 13, 2005 magnifficant shoes thighhighs. I just like tall pictures, and those steve madden shoes, they rule ! I'll add those to my collection later.
Dawn HH Posted September 21, 2005 Posted September 21, 2005 Thighhighs:-) Those are really nice pairs of boots...all of them. They may not be leather, but I'm sure that you will get your use out of them in the long run. No one has made any remarks about you wearing stiletto heels at work? Any looks? The people have got to know what you have on your feet. Cheers--- Dawn HH High Heeled Boots Forever!
thighhighs Posted September 21, 2005 Author Posted September 21, 2005 Thanks DawnHH. They are really nice, I've worn the last pair above for a week now and they are so comfortable. Today I plan on wearing the top pair, the kitten heels, when shopping. I work at a small company with 15 employees and I've known most of them for over 10 years. I started wearing heels at work only 2 years ago but I did it with a low heeled boot that made the right sound but looked like a cowboy boot (but female style). I increased the heel height to 1.2" - 2" block heels, then moved to thinner heels and now I'm wearing 3.5" stilettoes. So far only one female coworker have said anything, once about a pair of cowboy boots with real fur (she actually bent down to feel if it was real), another time about another stilettoe pair (nothing about the heel but curious of how high the shaft were). I also have daily contact with drivers of our different carriers, but they've said nothing yet. My favourite boots: Bronx Scarlet Hi, as in my avatar.
JeffB Posted September 22, 2005 Posted September 22, 2005 Thighhighs: Your pictures are absolutely fantastic! You certainly do know hwo to wear boots! Bravo, my friend! As for you latest acquisitions, I like these the most: But all three pairs were most impressive! I don't want to LOOK like a woman, I just want to DRESS like a woman!
Bubba136 Posted September 22, 2005 Posted September 22, 2005 Sounds like you employed the same strategy that JeffB used. Start out with lower heeled womens shoes and gradually increase the height, letting people getting used to seeing you in different shoes until you eventually arrive wearing the style and heel height that you want to. Being mentally comfortable in your own mind is the key to wearing heels in public.
Dawn HH Posted September 22, 2005 Posted September 22, 2005 Thighhighs:-) I have a pair of black quilted boots very similar to yours that now have a much chunkier heel on them. I like that look very much. Cheers--- Dawn HH High Heeled Boots Forever!
thighhighs Posted September 22, 2005 Author Posted September 22, 2005 I like these the most: But all three pairs were most impressive! I agree, these are perfect in my opinion. Perfect heel height and style, perfect toearea (not too long, not too short) and a great design. Dispite the low price, they are also very comfortable. Sounds like you employed the same strategy that JeffB used. Start out with lower heeled womens shoes and gradually increase the height, letting people getting used to seeing you in different shoes When I started wearing heels, I had almost nothing else than 2-3" stilettoes and that is not a good start for someone who ain't that open and free at that time. So eventually I got hold of some lowheeled boots to start of with and it has worked fine for me.... Today I'm wearing the boots with the kitten heels and have found another problem (not really a problem, but something to think about at least). I'm having no problems with heels that makes a klick-sound, almost all shoes makes noice in different ways. What is more disturbing is the sound the sole makes when hitting ground. These boots have a plastic-sole and makes a high-pitched splash when hitting ground. Very annoying (is it spelled so?). Planning to let them have a new sole of rubber glued on, to decrease the sound a bit. It might ruin the smooth lines in the design though... My favourite boots: Bronx Scarlet Hi, as in my avatar.
thighhighs Posted September 22, 2005 Author Posted September 22, 2005 Some pictures from todays outfit: (They aren't so big, so be patient...) My favourite boots: Bronx Scarlet Hi, as in my avatar.
Bubba136 Posted September 22, 2005 Posted September 22, 2005 They look great with your jeans. I doubt that you had any problem wearing them. Anyone noticing them from the front would think, with the embossed stitching type accent, that they were just plain cowbow boots. Which is good when you are wearing them in public. Being mentally comfortable in your own mind is the key to wearing heels in public.
Dawn HH Posted September 23, 2005 Posted September 23, 2005 From the side or from the back...the style of heel might cause a second glance to see if what they saw the first time really was what they saw. Cheers--- Dawn HH High Heeled Boots Forever!
Bubba136 Posted September 23, 2005 Posted September 23, 2005 most people are really to preoccupied to take concious notice of the back of the foot. Unless the back of the foot is eye catching, which I doubt black or dark heels that low would be. Being mentally comfortable in your own mind is the key to wearing heels in public.
Dawn HH Posted September 23, 2005 Posted September 23, 2005 They would certainly be noticed when sitting at a Mall with people passing by, or at a table at the food court. This has happened to me. Cheers--- Dawn HH High Heeled Boots Forever!
thighhighs Posted September 23, 2005 Author Posted September 23, 2005 I think most of the peoples footwear on this site would cause an extra glance when sitting in a Mall. The heel is a bit too low for me, to be perfect, but I really like the front of the boots. I don't think anyone would notice from a frontview, they are maybe a bit too pointy for a man, but who gives a s--t. Yesterday, I returned to the shoeshop and changed the boots with zippers above to another pair of the last stilettoe crocodile boots. Now I have two pairs of that one. I also bought a new pair of black jeans. Normally I wear 32" in length. This new pair was 34" in length. It would be impossible to wear them without shoes but my intention is to wear them with these crocodile boots. This pants covers all of the heel when standing up, I think I'd use them as a start to wear them outside (that is outside home and work). My favourite boots: Bronx Scarlet Hi, as in my avatar.
thighhighs Posted September 23, 2005 Author Posted September 23, 2005 Just bought these boot from eBay also: Ok, they're not authentic GUCCI, but could be nice anyway... Will keep you posted... My favourite boots: Bronx Scarlet Hi, as in my avatar.
Thighboots2 Posted September 23, 2005 Posted September 23, 2005 Thighhighs, VERY nice. Hope you enjoy them as they will be super under a nice pair of jeans. TB2 Are you confusing me with someone who gives a damn?
Dawn HH Posted September 23, 2005 Posted September 23, 2005 Thighhighs:-) Those new boots from e-bay are sure a very nice pair of boots. Sort of in a Buccanneer style with a nice stacked heel. I hope you enjoy them when they are delivered. Cheers--- Dawn HH High Heeled Boots Forever!
Bubba136 Posted September 24, 2005 Posted September 24, 2005 I like that style of boot. I really like that pair. Being mentally comfortable in your own mind is the key to wearing heels in public.
tightlevisandhhboots Posted September 24, 2005 Posted September 24, 2005 That is one of my favorite heel styles, especially for street heeling! tightlevisandhhboots
Dawn HH Posted September 24, 2005 Posted September 24, 2005 That is a great style of boot. I like it. Cheers--- Dawn HH High Heeled Boots Forever!
JeffB Posted September 24, 2005 Posted September 24, 2005 Nice pics there, thighhighs! You made those boots work quite well. And those buccaneer boots are absolutely awesome! I can't wait to see you in them. I'm sure that will make for quite a treat! I don't want to LOOK like a woman, I just want to DRESS like a woman!
Bubba136 Posted September 24, 2005 Posted September 24, 2005 They were definately made to wear over your jeans. Being mentally comfortable in your own mind is the key to wearing heels in public.
micha Posted September 25, 2005 Posted September 25, 2005 Just bought these boot from eBay also: Wonderful kneeboots! The best fashion is your own fashion!
thighhighs Posted September 28, 2005 Author Posted September 28, 2005 Still waiting for the boots above, meanwhile enjoy these... ... latest purchase from the net. (Am I a shopaholic? I really need to end this...) My favourite boots: Bronx Scarlet Hi, as in my avatar.
Bubba136 Posted September 29, 2005 Posted September 29, 2005 Were you able to return the boots that were the wrong size or did you have to keep them and order another pair? Being mentally comfortable in your own mind is the key to wearing heels in public.
