hoverfly Posted April 29, 2006 Posted April 29, 2006 Well I destroyed enough cheep shoes and boots to finally have the nut to modify these size 12 Wesley and Company leather boots that were made for a person with a fat calf. I have such skinny ankles finding stuff can be a PITA. Any way I intend to have a shoe repair person sew the cuts I made to the boot, I taken pictures of my slicing and dicing. But things came out well, I will post them after the boots are complete. Also blade heels are OK but I had a 4" stiletto heels to use so I am going to swap them as well for a little more hight, but still feel free to add you opinion. Hello, my name is Hoverfly. I’m a high heel addict…. Weeeeeeeeeee! 👠1998 to 2022!
chris100575 Posted June 4, 2006 Posted June 4, 2006 I voted for the blade heel. Ordinarily I'd have gone for the stiletto, but I think the blade heel works better with the square toe. Good luck with the project though, will be interested to see how it turns out. And there was me feeling all chuffed with myself because I fixed a loose heel tip! Chris
hoverfly Posted June 4, 2006 Author Posted June 4, 2006 I was hoping to have this done a while ago, but not having a job is really screwing my life up right now. I am surprised people are voting for the blade, as much as I don't like the height of it 3.5" I am going to have to find something else that falls some where in the 4" range that is not a stiletto.

Dawn HH Posted June 18, 2006 Posted June 18, 2006 Hoverfly:-) I would go for the blade heel myself as I think it fits the square toe box better and would make a nice looking boot. Cheers--- Dawn HH High Heeled Boots Forever!
hoverfly Posted June 18, 2006 Author Posted June 18, 2006 Seems that I am going to have to find a 4" blede heel........ Hello, my name is Hoverfly. I’m a high heel addict…. Weeeeeeeeeee! 👠1998 to 2022!
stilettolover Posted January 19, 2007 Posted January 19, 2007 ok hoverfly... i'll put in my 2 cents worth. I LOVE STILETTO HEELS , but i agree that a blade works best with the squared toes. good luck on your modifications! Heels Are GRRREAT!!! S.L.
Firefox Posted March 27, 2007 Posted March 27, 2007 I went for the blade heel. Not sure if project is still live!
foxylady Posted March 28, 2007 Posted March 28, 2007 I think that the square heel will be better as well, good luck with the project:thumbsup: FoxyLady
crotchboots-m Posted January 31, 2008 Posted January 31, 2008 i vote for the blades,too. looks good with better lateral stability.
Bootking Posted February 3, 2008 Posted February 3, 2008 Square toe, blade heel; it is a nice balance! It's all about the heel!
