Dr. Shoe Posted June 10, 2002 Share Posted June 10, 2002 I was thinking of Leatherworks (Expensive but exquisite) and Jean Gaborit both of which can be found on the internet.

Jeff Posted June 10, 2002 Share Posted June 10, 2002 I think I will be paying a visit to Leatherworks next month when I'm in London. Have nice look of all the beauty from nearby, and probably buy something ofcourse..

Slim Posted June 10, 2002 Share Posted June 10, 2002 I have a pair where the heels kick forward, does that mean they are to short? (I kind of think they are, by maybe 1") Thats the trouble with US size 9's, the heel is maybe 1/2" shorter, or more, than on a size 10. Maybe that why 10's look better than 9's, more kink to the arch. I like that kink!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gizmo Posted June 14, 2002 Share Posted June 14, 2002 I LOVE stiletto heels I were them at home when I only can ankle knee ang thigh highs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicole Posted July 29, 2002 Share Posted July 29, 2002 i own a pair of green thigh highs with 4 inch stilletos. The trouble is that I don't have a lot to wear with them. Most of my skirts are to my mind too short, and pants just don't work because the boots pretty wide at the thigh. Also in SoCal they're not practical because it's way too warm outside. I will wear them with some of my dresses the truth shall make you fret Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stellah Posted July 29, 2002 Share Posted July 29, 2002 I love the way stilettos look They don't always have to be over 5 inch high. Some 4 inch boots look fantastic, too. My preferred height is knee-high, not thigh. _______________ HH forever! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loveheel Posted August 3, 2002 Share Posted August 3, 2002 I think I'll try stilleto boots this Fall. It is just a little too warm this summer to wear boots. Anyway, I don't have stilleto boots yet, so this is another great excuse to go shopping for shoes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurieheels Posted August 4, 2002 Share Posted August 4, 2002 To answer, yes, I like them, and I need a pair of stiletto ankle boots. Yes, I know, invading the guys forum again, but hey, I can and I have so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anthrax Posted August 10, 2002 Share Posted August 10, 2002 To answer, yes, I like them, and I need a pair of stiletto ankle boots. Yes, I know, invading the guys forum again, but hey, I can and I have so So what to your invasions? I've barely started here and I've rambled through the womens forum more than once! :rofl: Oh, and back on topic, yes, much so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yamyam Posted August 11, 2002 Share Posted August 11, 2002 I quite like boots with stiletto heels. In fact, I've just bought a new pair from Brantano, and I'm sat at my desk with a digital camera and about a thousand photos worth of memory... If I can keep my eyes open long enough, I'll be taking some pictures. (Oh, and Laurie - as far as I'm concerned, you're welcome where ever you turn up ) Obsessed is such a strong word.

Laurieheels Posted August 12, 2002 Share Posted August 12, 2002 so if I turn up and I am raining your ice box, this is okay as well, Yamyam? I am thinking the answer is going to be "if you are wearing your heels then yes" Am I close? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yamyam Posted August 12, 2002 Share Posted August 12, 2002 I quite like stilletto heels too. I'm looking for a nice pair, although probably ankle boots rather than thigh-highs. I'd wear them outside if I could find them! Am I allowed to quote myself? Found them, anyhow. These are my pair: . They're from Brantano, and they're a genuine UK9. And I may have to go back to London soon... Obsessed is such a strong word. I prefer to think of myself as "differently enthusiastic" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barney15c Posted August 13, 2002 Share Posted August 13, 2002 These are cool boots - do Brantano do this model in a size UK10. In the land of the blind, the one eyed man is king!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bria Posted August 13, 2002 Share Posted August 13, 2002 Well Ide have to say Ive had a few pair over the years.... I wish I had them all still Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slim Posted August 13, 2002 Share Posted August 13, 2002 I have a pair just like Yamyam's. Wear them quite a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am thinking the answer is going to be "if you are wearing your heels then yes" Am I close? Spot on, Laurie! Actually, you'd be welcome in your Reeboks - I think UK8/9 is about the same as US10/11, so I might well have about twenty or thirty pairs you could borrow Oh, and while you're here, what does "raining your ice box" mean?

Dr. Shoe Posted August 15, 2002 Share Posted August 15, 2002 got a pair of those Brantanoes (?) too. A little tight for me though and I wish i'd gotten the 10s I tried them on in the shop, but you never know do you?

Trolldeg Posted August 16, 2002 Share Posted August 16, 2002 hmm, I wouldn't call that stilettos... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yamyam Posted August 16, 2002 Share Posted August 16, 2002 hmm, I wouldn't call that stilettos... They were the nearest I could get. I have another pair with thinner heels.

Bubba136 Posted August 17, 2002 Share Posted August 17, 2002 Quite right! Not stilettos. But, not a thing wrong with the boots. I like the heel. I'd buy them. 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...
Yamyam Posted August 19, 2002 Share Posted August 19, 2002 Well, they're not leather, but otherwise fine. They're also a bit narrow, but hey, they're what I wanted. I've not worn them much yet, but they feel good so far. And they look great under jeans Obsessed is such a strong word.

Tech Posted August 21, 2002 Share Posted August 21, 2002 I really love stiletto boots, especially knee high boots as i think these give much more stability in holding the ankle straight, i would love to buy a pair of boots just like these http://www.kinkyboots.com/index.php?p=878 maybe i can get a pair later this year if my misses is cool with me spending that much on a pair of boots............ these ones are £127.00 from kinkyboots.com Not sure if i should risk getting the 5.5" heels or the 4" heels but i will certainly enjoy them whatever ones i get Heels for Men // Legwear Fashion // HHPlace Guidelines If something doesn't look right, please report the content ASAP!

Yamyam Posted August 21, 2002 Share Posted August 21, 2002 these ones are £127.00 from kinkyboots.com Eeeeeek! Not sure if i should risk getting the 5.5" heels or the 4" heels but i will certainly enjoy them whatever ones i get I'm thinking that if you're going to go to all that trouble, you should go for the 5.5" ones, just to make it worthwhile Obsessed is such a strong word.
