highestheels Posted July 23, 2008 Posted July 23, 2008 Hi everyone, What do you think of these but in matt black leather for walking out in the public as an incentive for me to keep on trying to get to this height. I am currently walking in 5.5 inch and find 5 inch easy now. Reason is that they have a chunky heel that can be overlapped by long trousers or jeans. Thanks for your opinions (they are expensive and have to be made) HH
Stilettoscot Posted July 23, 2008 Posted July 23, 2008 I am usually a stickler for stilettos for a heel that high, but those are super sexy!!! Walking in ultra-highs because it's exciting...and it is!!
onyourtoes Posted July 24, 2008 Posted July 24, 2008 What brand and style are they? Where did you get them?
highestheels Posted July 24, 2008 Author Posted July 24, 2008 Thanks for the comments. They are 6 inch chunky heel knee boots on ebay and are a UK size 9 from burlesque blue, but haven't bought them yet. Hope this helps.
Spikeheels Posted July 24, 2008 Posted July 24, 2008 They are great boots, the heel is just the right thickness I would love a pair as I haven't got any knee highs at all in my collection! Very nice!
Guest Loveshiheels Posted July 24, 2008 Posted July 24, 2008 Nice pair of boots. You will get notice if you wear those boots out in public.
PatentHeel Posted July 26, 2008 Posted July 26, 2008 Yes, they are a smashing pair of knee boots. Don't get matt though get the patent style as shown in the picture.
Handsomeboot Posted July 30, 2008 Posted July 30, 2008 Sexy black boots....Love the shape off the high heel!
Thighboots2 Posted July 30, 2008 Posted July 30, 2008 Absolutely fine to continue you aim to wear very high heels. But for public outings, I really don't think so. Your walk will be very noticibly altered. It will be noticed by all around you because of this and unless you are supreemly confident and have absolutely mastered these heels, including the ability to raise them 1/2" off the ground (This was Jenny's recommendation from her how to walk in heels information), then you will find yourself feeling very uncomfortable being in public in these boots. There are very few women who can pull off wearing such extreem heels and not look ridiculous. Ultimately the decision is yours. Sorry to be negative but that is how I see it. Simon. Are you confusing me with someone who gives a damn?
Dawn HH Posted August 3, 2008 Posted August 3, 2008 I realize that that isn't a spike heel, but I wouldn't call it a chunky one either. To me a chunky heel would be twice as wide at the tip. As mentioned before about the walking in them in public, there is also the variances in pavement and terrain that you may have to traverse in your public heeling. You will have to be well versed in your heeling abilities to be successful and not bring undue looks from the people that will be passing you by. Don't take this as a negative---just my observations to you. I would stick with the matte finish as the patent would be quite noticable to the public. That is a great looking pair of boots and if you can wear them successfully in public the more power to you. Cheers--- Dawn HH High Heeled Boots Forever!
Thighbootguy Posted August 4, 2008 Posted August 4, 2008 Highestheels - ff2 and dawn- hh offer some good advice. In my part of town, I have to walk up and down a sidewalk that goes up a 3° hill. Walking up is not a problem but walking back down again requires my ankle to bend an additional 3°. If my heels are at my 5 ½” limit (on a flat surface), I have a real hard time walking back home so I stick to 5” heels. Always give yourself a little slack. Other than that, the boots look great. I dream of a world where chickens can cross roads without having their motives questioned.
highestheels Posted August 4, 2008 Author Posted August 4, 2008 Thanks for the advice everyone. What do you think I should buy in a 5" to be sure of feeling confident?
Guest Posted August 5, 2008 Posted August 5, 2008 well thighbootguy, I live in a hilly area (mostly hills as a matter of fact) & since I do have have a car (or a license to drive it as of yet) I can tell you that wearing any kind of high heel footwear (boots or shoes for example) is really NOT a good idea, bad for the feet doing it up & down hills- thats why flat footwear is the ONLY "sensible" way to walk in such surroundings without falling & breaking your ankle (or worse) because to tell the truth, it would look rather strange to see ANYONE trying to walk up and/or down any kind of hill of any kind of steepness-it simply isnt done by most people.
