HeelD Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 Sorry I couldn't make this meet. I was working nights all weekend hence my days were for sleeping and catching up on things. Glad you all had a good time and I will try and make the next one. Regarding boots - yes, the only places I've seen boots in London today were in charity shops. Primark and Clarks had no boots in sight - not that I was looking mind. Heel-D - Freestyling since 2005 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
euchrid Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 An addendum to my report The footwear we were wearing at the heelmeet was:- Xaphod - black, block-heeled boots. The heels looked about 3½ inches high. They were quite noticable and a few puzzled stares and double-takes were seen on the faces of other shoppers. Excellent! I'll leave Xaphod to add the technical details (make, size, etc.) Calv - black wedge-heel boots. About 2 inches high I would guess. Again, Calv can give you the full specifications. Myself - initially I was in trainers (or sneakers to you USA folk!) After arriving at the main shopping centre, I changed into these for a while - I was wearing longish black jeans which covered them up fairly well but the heels were still on show. I was nervous as hell for the first 15-20 minutes - this was my first time streetheeling in daylight. I can honestly say that I enjoyed it though & I wanna do it again ASAP!

davefry Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 Oh oh oh oh! Lets have a Bluewater meet. I'm there everyday taking my wife to work, so I can easily pop along and met up with everyone, and maybe it'll be my first chance to wear heels outside in the cold, harsh light of day!

xaphod Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 Yes, the ankle boots were bought in 1998 from one of the shops in Camden High St. They are 'Red Sun' brand, long since unobtainable, I'm afraid. I'm a bit particular about having boots of reasonable quality and that don't get too sweaty if worn all day, especially if the weather is becoming warmer. These are leather upper and leather lined. Even after walking around Reading all day, they were still cool, although, on taking them off, you could see that the lining had absorbed quite a lot of moisture. This is why shoes should be rested for a day or so before wearing them again, to allow them to dry out and not get stinky ! Xa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone fancy a meet at Bluewater in the next couple of months? A day time when the kids are at school sounds best to me so maybe that's September? There's loads of shops to try on shoes!! It's my opinion, no more, no less Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recommend you start a new thread about it to seperate it from the earlier Reading heelmeet. Always High-Heel Responsibly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fog Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 I'd be up for a weekday meet towards the end of September. Bluewater sounds fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
