TabascoTesa Posted April 28, 2004 Share Posted April 28, 2004 I'm pretty sure this will mark my 25th post! Yay! I'm out of those horrible loafery-boots and into some cowboy boots. Yeehaw! My favorite "flats" are a pair of Frye Harness boots, so I'll like my new shoe avatar. Looks like I've been pretty prolific in the short time I've been here. You guys are great, and I really like it here, so I think I'll stick around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawn HH Posted April 29, 2004 Share Posted April 29, 2004 Tabasco Tesa:-) Congratulations on your promotion to the 2" cowboy boots. It is great to read that someone thinks we are great and likes it here and wants to stick around. I, for one, appreciate the girls on this forum and value their opinions highly since they have been girls a lot longer than I have. Enjoy, have fun and keep posting.

Dawn HH Posted April 29, 2004 Share Posted April 29, 2004 Bladerunner:-) Congratulations to you on obtaining your 3 inch wedges. Keep posting and before you know it, you will be changing shoes again soon. Firefox:-) I can see that you are very proud with yourself on reaching your 3oooth post. Now if you want me to beat that, I guarantee that I certainly will over time. But you must completely stop posting so I can catch up and pass you up. Now being that you are the "Foxy Administrator", I doubt that you would even consider that fact, so I will do it the hard way. Just don't slow down any as I just might eventually run up your tail-pipe. Hee! Hee! Cheers fellows--- Dawn HH High Heeled Boots Forever! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

azraelle Posted April 30, 2004 Share Posted April 30, 2004 I did 3000 recently. I only just noticed. Come on guys, get posting to beat that! But I don't LIKE your 6" avatar. The board is showing its age. I'm more than well-acquainted with the why's and wherefore's of the present stock of avatars. But I have an idea--with each passing grade, why not increase the number of choices available within a given heel height category?? I'd even volunteer to find and photoreduce the BW gifs so they would continue to be of neglible bandwidth (using Photoshop/Illustrator and Irfanview). An example: Give those who have earned the (current) 2" cowboy boots, a choice of 3 images with 2" heels. I can remember my first pair of women's boots--they were knee-hi, black smooth leather, with a stacked-look 2" heel, that make your current selection look like the "Steply UghSister" it actually is. Even my properly manly water buffalo skin cowboy boots that I had back in the early 90's looked MUCH more stylish than these critters. And the heels were, if anything, lower. The same goes for the ghastly 3" mule wedgies. An example of my abilities: Right click on my current 5.5" image, then click "properties". The 5.5" pump takes up 2408 Bytes of bandwidth. Do the same for my over-the-knee zappos serving as my moniker. Even though it occupies at least twice the screen space of the pumps, the bandwidth of the gif is virtually identical--2436 Bytes. Whaddya say, FireFox??

Firefox Posted April 30, 2004 Author Share Posted April 30, 2004 You'd have to contact Jeff about that. I don't think the current version of the board allows for choice between avatatars at various member levels Also the bandwith is probably not a big issue because once you have browsed the board a couple of times the avatars will likely be stored in your hard drive cache. Good ideas though, assuming implementation is possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

genebujold Posted May 23, 2004 Share Posted May 23, 2004 Genebujold:-) Congratulations on reaching the big 5-OH-OH! Now you need a special drivers shoe with a high heel so you can Z-O-O-O-M to the next heely plateau. Cheers--- Dawn HH Ok... How about this one? I'm not particularly fond of the more feminine heels. Nevertheless, my wife feel in love with this shoe from Fredericks, saying "it has all the pizzaz you need, hon." Whatever that means! Nevertheless, despite the fact that it's at the upper end of my limit (4 inches), it's a fairly comfortable heel. One thing I, personally, don't like about is that I'm a male, and it looks far too "dainty" to me - almost as if I were wearing a tutu. The second thing I don't like is that the designers at Fredericks are clueless when it comes to the human anatomy. Evidently, they're of the opinion that a woman's toes are bunched up in front, and taper to 1 inches across, just 2 inches ahead of that toe strap. Ridiculous! My toes hang over all the time. The third thing I don't like about it again has to do with ergonomics. I've worn many a comfortable high-heel shoe in my size. But this heel from Fredericks is about as hard as the concrete floor itself. No padding in the sole, particularly the toe landing, where it's needed. Rough! Finally, there's the heel rake, which is perfect for a size 9, but not enough for a size 11. As a result, the heel cants too much towards the front of the shoe, and is slightly unstable while walking unless one remembers to lean into the step - which is still unacceptable workmanship to offer a high heel with an improperly canted heel! Nevertheless, I do agree with my wife that it's one sexy shoe, which is why I decided to get used to it (seems to turn her on...). It's even sexy on my foot, as noted in the pic (B&W to save bandwidth). Thus, if I could ever get it through the heads of the buyers at Fredericks (I've tried several times), they should insist on the following: 1. Padded insole. 2. Properly sized/canted heels (for the larger sized shoes). 3. Fix the pointed-toe look. It looks ridiculous when a woman's toes are dragging the ground over the overly-pointed end of the sole. 4. Market your larger-sized heels to the buyers. Although some larger-foot buyers on this board and others do indeed want dainty heels, most of them want heels, period, and would be more happy to get them in a more conservative, perhaps more masculine cut (with the only exception being the height of the heel). Ok, I'm gonna get flamed for this post, I just know it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawn HH Posted May 24, 2004 Share Posted May 24, 2004 Genebujold:-) Why would you get "flamed". What you said about the shoe and Frederick's is true, but they don't seem to be listening. I bought a few pairs of heels from them in the past, but now I don't since they haven't fixed the problems with their shoes yet. Looks is one thing, but form, fit, quality, and usefulness are another. Cheers--- Dawn HH High Heeled Boots Forever! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
genebujold Posted May 24, 2004 Share Posted May 24, 2004 Exactly, DawnHH. Unfortunately, there are a few Fredericks fanatics who've dumped on me before for putting them down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
