Interesting comment re men's heels

[onyourtoes]

I went into a donut shop recently on a snowy day. I was wearing my Payless woman's snow boots, no heel, just tall and warm. The woman working there immediately exclaimed about what great boots I was wearing. I told her they were from Payless and they're actually sold as a woman's style. She then said, "I wear size 11 and half the time end up buying men's shoes. I wish men wore heels, though, then I'd be able to find some that fit."

She's so right .. Always when visiting oversize shoe shops for women I'm getting a hammer blow on my forehead. Either the shoes are endless ugly or endless expensive. Usually they are both As a 6 inch girl I were greatful for the support of us guys. It's a pity, the most tall girls believe that they are not built for wearing high heels. But what shall I say? I'm already without heels 6' 4'' tall! micha (*at least EU 44/UK 10/US 12 and always again sending stubborn complaint mails to my favourite shoe companies*)

I like tall warm winter boots too. Doesn't matter about the heel, it's about the shaft, taller the better.

I wear tall winter boots also. I have a pair of custom made shearling boots that rise just above my knee. Very warm. It's all about being comfy!

Did you tell her we're working on it?

I completely agree. These are my favorite pair.

I finally got a chance to take a picture of the boots mentioned in my original post. At least they keep me warm and have opened a dialog with the woman at the donut shop.

I agree with all of you. Long shanked boots, high heels or not, are wonderful in the winter.
