DanG Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 I'm new here, but hope to eventually share some photos and experiences. I bought a pair of these on eBay, 7" metal heel boots from TheHighestHeel: http://www.thehighestheel.com/pic/thriller_blkred.jpg I can barely walk in them for a few minutes at a time, and look horrible trying to. I can't stand up completely straight in them due to the height of the heel. I used to own a pair of 5" boots but eventually got rid of them when they were worn, but they were very comfortable. I always wanted something in between those and the 7" heels I can't walk in, and finally found them in Pleaser's new Domina line that just went on sale in March. I bought these: http://www.pleaserusa.com/pic/Domina-2000.jpg They have a 6" heel and are very comfortable. I walked about half a mile in them outside then my ankles started to get tired. I live with other people that don't know I own heels, so I rarely get to wear them and get used to heels this high for longer times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan, I've had that problem, too -- nearly all the heels advertised as 5 inches are 12 cm (4 3/4 inches) generously rounded up to 5 inches, then the next height up is advertised as 6 inches but come a lot closer to 7. Jante makes a style (I think it's #2000) that they claim is 6, but's really about 5 1/2. So, are these boots the solution? The Pleaser pages say they're 5 inches. What is your foot size and how high do the heels measure (vertical at the back)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobHH Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 The Domina line is advertised as 6 in., but are closer to 5.75+ in. at the back. On the other hand, I have some slides from Fredericks that were advertised as 5 in. and are 5 7/8 in. at the back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highheeltrained Posted April 24, 2006 Share Posted April 24, 2006 my fiencee can easily walk in 5.5 to 6.5" nonplatform heels. but then again she cant wear anything under 5.5" on the count of being perm heeled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanG Posted April 24, 2006 Author Share Posted April 24, 2006 Lucky you I will be moving in the summer, no longer sharing an apartment, and will be able to wear heels much more often. With practice I think I can walk longer in the 7" heels but I doubt they will ever be natural or comfortable, they are purely fetish boots I suppose.

balletboots Posted August 8, 2006 Share Posted August 8, 2006 I know what you mean! I've just bought a pair of 7" Oxfords from the Highest Heel Collection (from Banana Shoes). The heel actually measures 7.5"!! Like you I find standing very difficult and at the moment walking is virtually impossible. When I stand I can bearly straighten my legs and I wobble and need support. My 5" ankle boots are no problem. I guess I'm going to have to get some 6" heels to practise in! Keep us posted on how you progress. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elegant Posted August 8, 2006 Share Posted August 8, 2006 And I guess that they're the ones I see in your avatar... Nice, though I wouldn't be able to wear such a high heel unless I practiced a lot. Right now, high heel oxfords are a big turn-on for me- I like their androgynous appearance (a "masculine" style of a shoe with a "feminine" heel), and I'd really love to have a pair with 4" heels (not stillettos, but thicker ones) and a pointy or squared toe. I guess they'd go well with a suit (especially if it's made of leather- my favourite outfit :>). What is good for a goose, can be good for any gender!

Dr. Shoe Posted August 8, 2006 Share Posted August 8, 2006 I found that ten minutes or so stretching in ballet boots help immensely. Graduate footwear designer able to advise and assist on modification and shoe making projects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
