Long boots

[KabitTarah]

I'm a W11 but a W12 by width Very few places have W12 it seems (and wider sizes? HA)... hopefully my feet get a little narrower with HRT and more weight loss.

These are the boots I want:

$114 is way too much...

Once again, Payless has 11 wide. Try there.

I think it will be my first clothing stop in January... I've been trying to stay under $100 for girl stuff per month.

I picked these up at a second shop for 7 dollars. I wore them in the storm today.

Wow! Cindy, your area has a lot of snow and definitely you need long boots. They look perfect for the weather in your hometown.

In snowy day, you may need to fix the camera by a tripod or something to have a nice shot.

I also have a similar long jacket like yours.

It doesn't surprise me you found those cool boots on eBay, Barbie. I hope you like them. Since that seller is in England it may take quite awhile to receive them.

Lyric,

I have received a message that they already shipped it. The delivery cost is far less expensive (ca. USD 20). I wanted to add another item to save the shipping charge, but it was too late. Next time, I will order 2-3 items together.

There are so many sexy and stylish shoes in e-bay at reasonable prices. This winter, I have already ordered 3 pairs of winter boots... I think it's enough now.

Anyway, thanks for your nice tips!

It's best not to order too much from a seller the first time, just in case. I like to do smaller test order before a big one to make sure there are no problems.

I went to the mainland, coming back today. I expected it would be very cold in the mainland, but it was not.
Anyway I wore the long boots and they were very comfortable. Probably stiletto long boots are not comfy to walk.
Some graduate girl students there commented on my new long boots.

Following the suggestion of Lyric, I ordered the following item from ebay.

There are far more diverse items in ebay, but the problem is that it is very addictive....
And, converting currency from GBP to US$ and then to KRW
And, converting UK 8 to US women's 10.5 to 265 mm

Anyway, I love Stiletto!

Yesterday I got the stiletto boots from England. The heel height is too much (14 cm = 5.5 inch), and they look like a toy. Although I can walk comfortably, I just worry that people might think I am a kind of whore. But the quality looks fine.

I am thinking wearing them when I visit Seoul next year. In Seoul, a lot of girls wear > 10 cm (4 inch) heels, and I will not be so much noticeable. With that, my height looks like 184 + 14 cm = 198 cm (6'6"), and I don't know how people will react....

Very nice !!!

The other day was reading about former supermodel Elle Macpherson and looked up a lot of images of her online. I believe she and you are close to the same age. She is six feet tall, wears tall stilettos all the time and looks absolutely incredible. I make kind of a hobby of following celebrity fashions as a fun shortcut to ideas for my own wardrobe and Elle is a good one to keep up with. I think you'd fantastic in just about anything she wears.

Very nice !!!

Cindy, thanks!

The president of the research institute where I worked previously encouraged me to be a model in lieu of his institute after watching this photo in facebook. People are so much accepting in facebook, and it is a surprise to me.

Lyric. Oh, Thanks you.

She indeed inspires me. Her waist is slimmer than mine (25 vs. 27 inch), but other features are similar (except boobs). Strangely, my height recently increased by about 2 cm or about 0.75 inch. I do not know the reason, but I guess some change in my posture has made it.

I may try this type of boots too, but I already purchased too many boots this winter. But one more pair?

Oh, my. I'm going to have to give up Mexican food again. (sigh)

Anyway I ordered the following high heel bootie from a Korean online store where they purchased in lieu of me:



http://www.amazon.com/Venya-Delicious-Studded-Buckle-Bootie/dp/B00F9JUYLM/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1387099603&sr=8-1&keywords=venya+delicious+buckle+high+heel+ankle+bootie

The price is just US$22, but amazon.com suddenly stopped international delivery to Korea, and I paid ca. US$65 to the Korean store, including international delivery fee. Still, it is too expensive, as international delivery costs about $20-25. I will try ebay.com.

I got those boots a few days ago, far belated than those ordered from e-bay.

4.75 inch heels are not a joke. To diagnose any potential problem I may encounter while walking in Seoul next week, I tried practicing with them while coming to my office. They were very tight, but I manged to put my feet in those small L-shaped caves. Driving with those heels at first was a little bit awkward, but soon it became fine. Walking is not comfortable, but I guess walking for 20-30 min will be fine.




I love the design of the shoes... but it is anyway challenging to wear them in public. I may need more practice...

Heel height?

3-inches, I hope.. If so they'll put me at 6-feet tall, but I wouldn't wanna go any higher..

[Lyric]

Nice boots, Ashey. Those have to be well over 3", though. The soles alone have to be an inch.

I like those boots, Barbie. I've known lots of very short women who wear 5" heels every day to work and walk OK. You would think it would be easier for a taller (longer-footed) person to walk in taller heeled shoes than a short person. I watched a couple of videos on YouTube on high heel walking technique. You want to keep the back straight, chest up and belly in. Of course, anybody who has tried walking in heels knows it's best to walk putting the heel before  toe. On softer surfaces it's better to walk more on the ball of the foot than the heel, too.

Lyric, thanks for the great tips! They will help prevent me from any injury from a fall.   

I am thinking the ankle boots from payless shoes. That one is 4.25 inch heels with 1 inch platform, far easier to walk on. I want a pair for everyday, not for occasional events. For delivery, I am contacting one of my friends who is now staying at the states.
