SandalFan Posted September 23, 2005 Share Posted September 23, 2005 Technically speaking, I've been here once before, but my visit was very short-lived. We'll just leave it at that. I'm 34 (b-day was 9/20), 10 years married (11 next month) and have loved the look of women in heels for as long as I can remember (since childhood). I've always been partial to open-toe dress sandals, especially ankle-straps and ankle ties - and they have to be spike heels. There's something about dressy sandals on a woman that just exudes class, not to mention looking irresistably sexy. I owned five pairs of heels up until a few years ago, when I decided to throw them out while doing some spring cleaning. As much as I loved them, wearing them around the house was just too taxing on my feet, and they wound up just sitting in my closet for months on end. They were all 5" stillettos - three pairs of sandals, a pair of pumps, and a pair of ankle boots. I wear a women size 11 (9 1/2 men). I recently started contemplating rebuilding my small collection (and adding to it). After talking with my wife about it, I've decided to go for it. This time, I'm limiting myself to 4" spikes. I'm expecting the shorter heel will be much more comfortable. I ordered my first new pair of sandals a couple of days ago, from Payless. I saw them while browsing the site and immediately thought, "Oooooh... hello, lover..." LOL! I've apparently missed my collection more than I thought I did. I can't wait to try them on for the first time and feel those satin ties wrapped around my ankles. hehehehe Glad to see the site's still up and running. It's always nice to have like-minded people to chat with. "Basic instincts, social life... Paradoxes side by side... Don't submit to stupid rules... Be yourself and not a fool...

Shafted Posted September 24, 2005 Share Posted September 24, 2005 Welcome back, SandalFan! I too am a size 11 and I also find 5" heels a little to much for all day wearing. I like to stick with 3 to 4 inch heels if I expect to be in them for extended periods. Good luck with your new collection. Shafted, the boots that is! View my gallery here http://www.hhplace.o...afteds-gallery/ or view my heeling thread here http://www.hhplace.org/topic/3850-new-pair-of-boots-starts-me-serious-street-heeling/ - Pm me if you want fashion advice or just need someone to talk to.

Dawn HH Posted September 24, 2005 Share Posted September 24, 2005 SandalFan:-) I, too, stick to heels between 3" and 4" because there are times when I spend long hours in them. Sometimes up to 18 hours at a time. Cheers--- Dawn HH High Heeled Boots Forever! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubba136 Posted September 24, 2005 Share Posted September 24, 2005 Like some of the rest of the members here, while I love to wear my 5" and 6" heels but I usually just wear 3" or 4" heels in public. Being mentally comfortable in your own mind is the key to wearing heels in public. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
