Laurieheels Posted July 3, 2002 Share Posted July 3, 2002 New topic! It is about time. It is summer here in the Northern Part of the world, and there have been some blistering days. Thus, I ask, what is your favourite pair of shoes for summer? Now this coulb be a pair that you own, or a pair that you admire others wearing. For me, I have found that I love my black patent sandals with the four and a quarter inch clear heel. I wear them everywhere. Do you have a favourite?

RubberVicki Posted July 3, 2002 Share Posted July 3, 2002 Not so great in the UK at present, so only braving sling back strappy courts at the present. Highest heel upto 5in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nata Posted July 5, 2002 Share Posted July 5, 2002 My usual black patent slingback or white strappy sandals. Cheers, Nata Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
countrycuti Posted July 5, 2002 Share Posted July 5, 2002 I have two new favorites, got them both at Fredericks for under $20 each. One is a 5" T strap kinda wedge sandal in black patent and the other is a 5" black stiletto ankle strap sandal. Both are comfortable. Wear them with nude toe hose, usually tan or taupe.

stellah Posted July 11, 2002 Share Posted July 11, 2002 I prefer shoes with maximum air flow. Why not wear silver? http://www.sexyhiheels.com/538xsilver.gif _______________ HH forever! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurieheels Posted July 14, 2002 Author Share Posted July 14, 2002 Silver really needs to be matched with the right clothing, and I would wear silver sandals and shoes for evening more than daytime. After all, sometimes I should be a bit more casual, and silver is flashy. But that could be a great topic for discussion - when to wear metallics.

RubberVicki Posted July 14, 2002 Share Posted July 14, 2002 Silver shoes, only for evening wear for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Lipstick Posted July 20, 2002 Share Posted July 20, 2002 For me summer means pastel tops and denim shorts/minis, so I tend to wear softer colours and styles than in the winter. My current favourites are a pair of baby pink cross-over mule wedges with a 5" heel, from Faith. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShockQueen Posted August 8, 2002 Share Posted August 8, 2002 I like silver heels with black pants, since I consider silver to be an accent colour. I think this brings out the fashion statement a bit more. I've done this combination, and it seems to work out pretty well! SQ.....still busting societal molds with a smile...and a 50-ton sledge!

Laurieheels Posted August 10, 2002 Author Share Posted August 10, 2002 Wedge heels? I know nothing about them, I only wear stilettos and sometimes a post heel. A wedge does not caputre the style I am looking for. I can jump up and down and I am starting to run in stiletto heels. Balance and comfort are not issues I have to deal with. My advice is this - but whatever you like to wear and whatever you feel looks good. Just be happy and get what you like. That is the best advice anyone can give on the subject.

Bubba136 Posted November 17, 2003 Share Posted November 17, 2003 slides, sandals, mules and slings for me 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...
Dawn HH Posted June 14, 2004 Share Posted June 14, 2004 I started to street-heel in December of 2003. My favorites are calf-high or knee-high black leather chunky high heeled boots. And yes, I do wear them in the warmer weather, and plan on wearing them through the summer. Cheers--- Dawn HH High Heeled Boots Forever! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cinthy Posted June 14, 2004 Share Posted June 14, 2004 This summer i will replace my 6 1/2 inch pumps with my new steel heeled sandals (from 6 inch heels forever) my feet get really hot in these pumps in this warm weather and the fact that i can lock those steel sandals on my feet this summer will be cool for my feet and exciting as well.

Jay1 Posted June 14, 2004 Share Posted June 14, 2004 Hi Cinthy, do those steel sandals have a grip on the bottom or are they completely smooth? Are they slippery to walk in?

genebujold Posted June 15, 2004 Share Posted June 15, 2004 These: They're a pair of Linea Paolos, precisely 4" on the heel, made of genuine leather (rare, these days in the land of high heels), and are very comfortable for all-day wear. Unfortunately, America still isn't quite ready to allow me to wear them to work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cinthy Posted June 15, 2004 Share Posted June 15, 2004 They have a grip of course Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawn HH Posted June 16, 2004 Share Posted June 16, 2004 Genebujold:-) That pair of sandals in your pic looks very natural on your foot and belies the fact that it is a male foot, not female. At least you have good looking toes, not like mine, which I constantly keep covered because they look U-U-U-GLY! You go, guy! They won't let you wear them to work, eh---Hmmmmmmmm---I wonder why. LOL!

Cheers--- Dawn HH Well, I'm the boss, so I'm quite certain they would... Not that I would, however, as I want my employees to be very comfortable in all respects. Thank you for the compliment! I have to credit hormones, though - not the presence of female supplement hormones, however, but the lack of an appropriate level of male hormones while growing up (due to a childhood accident). To make a long story short, in silhouette I resemble a skinny, pre-ubescent female more than I do a male. Nevertheless, whatever hormones I had running through my body way back when had their desired effect - I think like a man, feel like a man, and run my company like a man! And my household, as well (subject to the objections of the chairwoman of the board, of course...) I suppose in some ways I should consider myself lucky - although I've seen many online calculators for BMI, some for women, some for men, I fall to the lighter side, which, by the weigh, makes wearing heels significantly easier...

Dawn HH Posted June 17, 2004 Share Posted June 17, 2004 Genebujold:-) It's important in any household to be cognizant of the objections of the chairwoman of the board. Mickey68 doesn't hesitate to let me know of her objections to things, as it should be. Then they are put forth at a family board meeting and a compromise is met and the results are then put into motion. This is the way it should be. Each person has their in-put, (except the dog, who has her vote over-ridden every time---she thinks she is a person). Cheers--- Dawn HH High Heeled Boots Forever!

JeffM Posted June 17, 2004 Share Posted June 17, 2004 Dawn, Didnt Mickey68 tell us just recently that your dog is a dacshund named Cinnimon. If this is correct then I dont believe you when you say except the dog, who has her vote over-ridden every time---she thinks she is a person Yes she may think she is a person like most Dacshunds do, but have her vote over ridden every time. I have doubts about that. Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawn HH Posted June 19, 2004 Share Posted June 19, 2004 JeffM.:-) Cinnamon wants you to know that items not related to her interests or future are voted on by her with an obstaining vote. However, when it comes to her food, toys, treats, and sleeping facilities, she has her vote noted ALWAYS! And now---back to the topic---Summer shoes - what's your favorite.
