Title: High Heels

I was wondering, being a tall individual (with large feet) hasn't really deterred me from wearing high heels ranging in heel lengths about 5 - 6.5 inch heels and even considering going higher. I am just under 5'11 and when in my favourite strappy heels, I feel i am definitely taller but it also gives me a lot more confidence. It's weird, I know that there are naturally tall cisgendered girls out there but the ones I have known are deterred from wearing high heels as they have had issues with men feeling uncomfortable with them being shorter than the girl. Funnily enough, I've had a few men displaying a little discomfort at my height when in heels but I always reassure them that everyone is the same height in bed ;)
Regardless, the question I would like to ask is are you deterred from wearing heels just because you are tall?
Also what are your alternatives to wearing super high heels? Kitten heels? Sandles? Mules?

I'm 5'5 and I will only wear heels at funerals and weddings.
I cannot stand them.

I love heels. I'm 5' 9" ish, but as Axelle said how long you wear them id the killer. I went to a fashionable horse race event and wore 4" heels for about 5 hours. I was crippled. I can't drive in heels, so I have a pair of flats in the car and i have a pair of fold up ballet slippers in my handbag to walk around in when I go to or leave the venue.

I am 6'2" in the old money and love heels! Unfortunately my bad back doesn't like them a whole lot. If they are well made I can wear them for a while, but no more than a couple of hours, and then 4" maximum.

the longest I've worn heels ever were about 10 hours and that was my first time ever in heels. I learnt a very important lesson that day, NEVER WEAR HIGH HEELS FOR LONGER THAN 4 HOURS TOPS! However, I have walked in heels for a long distance -for about 2 kilometres, and often go nightclubbing in them. However, I find heels that are open toe/peep toe or any really that are your typical stilettos are much more painful for me to walk on for longer periods as theres too much strain for me to keep the heel on as it just keeps slipping off -despite being my right size. I find that if there are straps or something like:

is much more comfortable as it feels more of an extension of my feet rather than as a shoe? Hmmm maybe its just me.

Hey Dani,
I'm 6 ft and I LOVE heels, now I don't wear them all the time but when I do I feel confident !. I'm pretty much into every heel height from 1 to 6 inches in height. I have found anything higher is beautiful to look at but too dangerous to wear unless your a celeb who can afford them stylish 7 - 10 inch heels like Lady Gaga wears.
For me i've never felt deterred to to wear heels regardless of how tall I am nor anyone I have ever dated. I think that if YOU like them then wear them. I also feel they do give a boost of confidence as well and they make legs look incredible.
However like many others after a few hours id rather slip into something flat and more comfortable just to give my feet a break. I don't think heels are something id wear for a full 7 + hours cause it'd cause extreme pain for me.
Best of luck with your shoes though :-)
Btw love the shoe pic you posted !! their gorgeous :-D

I rarely wear high heels because they're really not good for the feet and legs, but I love the way I look in them when I do. I'm long waisted, so heels make my legs looks long enough in proportion, even though, at 5'11", they put me up there a bit. These days there seems to be a lot more taller young women than when I was younger, in America, at least. I only wear heels to places where other women are wearing them, though. For me, that's fairly rare.

I am 5'6 (which isn't really super tall) BUT I love heels. In the winter I wear high heeled booties and when summer comes around I have a bunch of five inch platform wedges that I like to wear. They make me look taller than my boyfriend, but I don't care.

That's what I've heard too.

I'm about 5'5", which isn't very tall, probably around average. Anyway, I love heels. I think they look awesome.
But I've worn heels for extensive periods of time, and I didn't have any problems with them. When I was done, I was exhausted, but I was fine after a few minutes. So, just by that I think I'll wear them even more.
The only problem that I have with them is that they're not really for doing anything other than looking good or walking. So, I kinda feel limited when wearing them, like I'm somehow less able to do stuff.

I hope to be a shoe designer one day actually, for ciswoman and transwomen alike!
But yeah, my height doesn't stop me from wearing heels, and not just heels, PLATFORMS girl.
I love myself a nice pair of platforms to the grocery store. :)

I am only 5'6" and would love to wear heels at times. But my biggest problem buying shoes is that I am 60 lbs overweight and wear size 13 men's shoes which translates to about size 14 to 15 in women's shoes. I can get by wearing size 12 women's if they are open toed. And a narrow heel is not really good for me.
??? Now try finding a pretty pair of women's shoes size 12 to size 15 at Payless or Walmart. Or even finding women's shoes that size at all.

I absolutely adore high heels. At 5' 6" and slender, I find myself gravitating mostly to 3 and 4 inch heels. I work an office job where I wear high heels all day everyday. I know a lot of people say that wearing heels so much causes them problems, but that hasn't been my experience. I'm fortunate to wear women's size 10 shoes, so finding fashionable, good quality 3 to 4 inch shoes is relatively easy.
I'm also a competitive pool player. I compete against mostly men, but there are plenty of women in the competitive pool community here in Portland. I really enjoy standing out in the pool halls, standing tall in my 4 inch heels, waist length hair, pretty clothes and hot pink pool stick. The boys often admonish me to trade in my heels for a pair of flats; they say that I'll never be a great pool player if I insist on wearing heels. I see it as my mission to prove them wrong... and I'm getting to be a damn good pool player.
So yes, I wear heels with relish. I put them on in the morning before I leave for work, work all day, turn up at the pool hall in the evening and compete all night. It isn't unusual for me to wear a pair of 4 inch heels for 15 or 16 hours in a day. And I'm eager to get up the next morning and do it all again. I guess that makes me a freak of nature. Sweet!
Peace,
Miharu

I'm 6'2" and wear heels. But the highest I go is 3 inches. I really don't care if I stand out or not, because if I'm in them, I'll OWN IT!!
And besides, the way I look at it, is I'm not coming this far only to not wear what I want to wear. After all, that's what I did most my life, and we see how THAT worked out! LOL.

But not available for my foot size. Instead I ordered this one with size 11: (https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi943.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fad278%2Fbarbie_pictures%2Ffashion%2Fsandals.jpg&hash=9274b42dc64a4f1da5f161ec785381f910092dd1)
Black is fine too, but I already have several black heels.
These are imported from the US, and the price tag is about US$70. I usually wear size 10, and most heels I can order here are imported ones. No so many styles to choose from imported products, and more expensive than domestic ones. Although various styles are available for domestirc shoes, the biggest size is equvalent to US women's 9 at most of on-line stores here. This is a drawback to me. Sigh.

I really like both of those, but I tend to have problems with ones like that - specifically the ankle straps. Most of the time the ankle straps won't make it around my ankles all the way so I normally have to go with slingbacks instead. :(

For me , clubbing, fancy dinner, an occasion with any sort of formality... heels are a REQUIREMENT!
I LUV my heels... BUT... after a few hours they WILL hurt. I was out dancing the other night. Arrived at the club at around 11- 1130. Danced till 3 am. Walked 8 blocks to the car. How do you think my feet (and ankle) felt after that?
Ya shoulda kept flats with me
Tessa,
Some 4 inch heels are very comfortable to wear and walk. The following is a 4-inch heels my wife purchased for me at Priceless shoes about 9 years ago, and I can even run with it. A problem now is that some strips came off, and I had to attach them with glue. Thus I need new one. It was delivered yesterday, but I have not yet opened it.

There are some online shoe stores that offer free shipping and returns so you can exchange something if it is the wrong size or return the shoes if they just don't work out
Of coarse there are time limits and you can't return shoes that have obvious wear to them

I just returned from Seoul where I had a chance to walk in the street with the new heels. It was a kind of old town. Record-breaking heat wave was hitting the street. I had to take shower twice a day.
As I sweated so much, the sandals became slippery, making it difficult to walk. Another lady also wore high heel sandals, and she also complained that it is hard to walk. But anyway it was thrilling to walk like an acrobat, especially when descending the long stairs.

I absolutely LOVE heels. They make my legs look good.
On my first night out en femme I wore strappy black open toe sandals with a 4 inch heel (the ones in my avatar). I was a little wobbly walking in them when I started the evening. We did blocks and blocks of walking, and at the end of the evening I was far more confident walking in them... and sore too! A friend suggested that I take them off for walking but i refused - If i own them i'm going to wear them :D
I'm about 5'8" and I enjoyed the extra height that i got from the heels.
I also discovered that night that driving and negotiating stairs are very hard to do in heels. I have a new respect for women that regularly wear heels.

I've wanted to try them for years. Not sure if a EUR 42 size exists, though. I need to see If I can find something cheap on the net, I still can't go and do it at a physical store.

I DEFINITELY wear high heels, and even platform heels at times - the higher, the better! I'm 5'9. It's really all about the shoe, though, and I definitely wear kitten heels and sandals a lot, too. I worry that some flats can make my feet look big ( I'm a size 12), so I'm careful with them.
I used to be really self conscious about my height, but now I like it, and I've experienced some definite comradery among other tall women, which is awesome : ) As far as guys are concerned, playing up on how leggy you are as a tall lady pays definite dividends : )

Barbie - I like those heels a lot. ;D
In general the majority of my shoes are heels, I tend to gravitate towards heeled booties or slingbacks as a lot of the nicer heels (such as Barbie's new ones) have ankle straps that don't fit me very well. My biggest frustration is that I normally wear a size 12 in most heels and quite a few stores (at least around here) only carry up to size 11. So I either have a limited selection or I have to go online and I really don't like to order shoes online as I want to try them on first.

Old ones. I guess I purchased it in 2004, but have never tried outdoors, mainly because I think the red color is too bold. I am not quite sure whether this red color matches well with black jeans. The heel is very high to walk (5 inch).

Hi Madison, I understand your problem. It's the same to me. I usually wear size 10, and found that ordering online from amazon.com is more economic.
The red ones are 5-inch heels, and the black ones also 5-inch heels. 4-inch heels are fine to walk, but 5-inch caused some pain in the street of Seoul. Fortunately the last ones I got are 4-inch heels and I like it. I may try it outdoors during my visit to Seoul this weekend.

I like the red ones, but I think they are just a kind of toy. The bottom of the heels also should be red. Practically it is very difficult to walk outdoors, and I may try during indoor parties.

Finally I walked outdoors with the new high heel sandals. The heel height is said to be 4.1 inch, but it was felt like 5 inch. A little bit difficult to walk. Hopefully my feet will be adjusted to the new ones.

Like Cindy, I love wearing high heels, but I find as I get older that I cannot take the really high ones any longer. When I transitioned previously I had this pair of open toe pumps with a 5.5" heel that i loved to wear out but only in the evenings with girl friends or clubbing.
Mind those clubbin years seem an age ago. These days I have found that I can get the height by wearing wedges without the discomfort. My tallest wedge is a 4" inch, but generally my heels these days are 2" or 2.5"
I am 5'7" tall so this means I don't look too tall even in heels.
One thing to remember though is to make sure your legs are hair fee if wearing a shooter dress or skirt. I never shave my legs only get them waxed at the beauty salon. A good full leg wax and bikini line wax keeps me hair free for about 28 days. I also moistureise my legs and thighs daily to keep them looking good even today. Also dont forget to wear ultra sheer stockings or panty house - preferably 10 denier.
One interesting little gem I discovered is that Marks &Spencer in the UK have a very nice line of 10 denier open toe panty hose that look absolutely great with well manicured and painted toenails with a open toe sandal or high heel pump.
In fact looking at my JudithLynn wardrobe I have about 26 pairs of shoes with only 4 pairs of flats. I also like to wear high heel boots especially in winter. When working in the UK as JudithLynn I always wore my high heel boots to work changing into high heel pumps (3") at the office. Of course walking in high heels has its advantages as it gives ones hips a natural sway.
Hugs

Me, too. But I sometimes wear them. Here in my country, high heels are very popular. Young girls wear them even in beach. Then why not me?
For curiosity, I compared my legs with the model. My ankles seem to be thinner than her, but her skin is far better than mine.

Foot pain results from bad shoes, bad posture, and bad walking form. I own only a few, well made heels and I could wear any of them all day long, so long as I maintain posture and twerk it properly.

well if you have a high heel fetish like you say you do (you do have about 450 pics of your feet in heels), then you answered your own question of why you are preoccupied with heels.
Heels have no sexual thrill for me whatsoever..they are just shoes in my opinion...so I am not preoccupied with them. Don't get me wrong...I enjoy a good pair of shoes as they can accent any outfit but I don't wear them because they arouse me. But to each their own :)

Check out Zappo's, shoes.com, shoebuy or shoemall and I imagine there are others :)

well if you have a high heel fetish like you say you do (you do have about 450 pics of your feet in heels), then you answered your own question of why you are preoccupied with heels.
Yes. I have strong fetishism on high heels, bangles, hand bag, stockings and etc. Strangely, earring is exceptional. I have no penchant for it.
My wife said to me that most young women are preoccupied with high heels. In any crowded downtown, many young girls wear high heels, but in rural areas, fewer women wear them. After I wear high heels and stockings enough, the strong fetishism diminishes, and I try to purchase another type of heels that look new and sexy to me.
I am sometimes aroused just by own my naked body. My body is also fetish to me :o

where i live it's pretty rare to find a lot of girls in heels (even in Philadelphia).
I know where I live, there are usually used to going out to nice places in the evening or to a formal job. Other than that, flats and boots are the mainstay here.

Well, you're lucky. You can wear high heels and actually look like a stunning young woman. I don't have a fetish regarding them, but I love the way they lengthen my legs when when I wear skinny jeans.

I wish I could be preoccupied with heels. It would certainly make life easier. I got rid of mine when I moved house. I only wore them when clubbing. I may fancy a pair when I'm post-op and dating again.

When I was dating my friend Peter, he loved me in Black 5" High heels, black very sheer 7 denier stockings with the seam at the back and suspenders. He told me it looked really sexy and was a big turn on for him.

i love you all to death
But the measure of how someone really cares about you is wearing "regular" clothing and see how they respond to you.
If I wore provocative clothing and my BF was excited by me and if I wore regular clothing and he was "ho hum" I really would rethink the relationship.
This is why I never wear anything construed as sexy....especially on a first and subsequent dates. I do this because I want to gauge him and see if he is attracted to me because of ME rather than the pair of stockings or heels I would wear.
Not saying I ever wore anything sexy to bed with a BF....but it's usually after a GOOD WHILE of dating to know he is attracted to me more than me being trans or me wearing sexy things.
I guess i'm becoming an old fart or something lol

I wear high heels more frequently than my wife, but it is usually less than 10 times in a year. In everyday life, I mostly wear flat sandals to prevent the growth of unidentified fungal species in my toes. Yesterday:

My wearing heels is to attract people's attention or to compete with other girls in the street, and I can enjoy it. While walking besides me, my friends are surprised that so many people watch me. Actually, my friends like my wearing high heels, because a lot of people, including young girls, pay attention to us in restaurants or bars. Without me, nobody turn their eyes on them.

Also they become hilarious and drink more at night when I wear high heels. Girls also tend to become playful with me. I am a kind of entertainer? Maybe.

I love heels.. usually around 4 inches is perfect for me. I'm VERY anal about the architecture of the heels I buy...
Anyways I love heels for going out with friends, But I rarely use them with my boyfriend because I'm 5'6 and hes 5'7 so if i slip on heels, BAM Victoria Secret Angel and he looks really small.. So only on girls night out occasions or at stage events.
As for size I'm a womans U.S 8 so the world of heels is completely open to me . MUWAHAHAHAHA >:-)
I used to be a ballet dancer and danced for hours on end with pointe shoes, so heels are a walk in the park in comparison.

Most of the time I am doing casual things so I don't go out in heels much but I want an excuse to wear these cute new booties I got. Well anyway, I live by the beach and all the girls here still exist in sandals this time of year (including me 'cause why not, and I like being normal height right now).

I would wear heels every day if it was practical. I love fashion and heels are pretty essential. however i dont want to overdress all the time so i tend to try to wear chucks or I like to wear flats as well, which are super cute and comfortable.
Im around 5'10" and I dont mind if im super tall in heels. I think everyone should wear heels more often to express how classy you are. Plus it will make your butt look amazing.

Yes. Heels 2.5-3.5 inches are most comfortable and, above all, accentuate well your leg lines.
But, I always want > 4 inches...

(https://scontent-a-mad.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-prn2/1513227_189547207920188_346888901_n.jpg)
The heel is 13 cm (5"), and I am not used to wear more than 5 cm (2"). I'm keeping them for partying with a black dres, but with this my height will almost be 190 cm. One friend tos me that it won't work on my favor, making me look "too ->-bleeped-<-". So:
a) My face looks ->-bleeped-<-. Nothing lost here.
b) I party in gay bars, so who cares
c) As I told the GD shrink, "You can say what you want, but I'm wearing whatever heels I like. I'm not bargaining with that".
The weird thing is that the shop I got them is specialised in latex and fetish things, but they look fairly normal to me. I was quite tempted to buy some long sleeved black latex gloves... But you know, you can't complain when they have up to EUR 50 sizes.

Barbie,
We have a very warm winter in Belgium. I could go run again, before was much too cold. Sometimes up to 10 degrees or more. As for me, I managed to get Spiro and Avodart from my doctor, they are testosterone suppressors. I should be active here I suppose but I only read a lot. Watch this, maybe an idea for you ? IN HIGH HEELS.

Emma's youtube channel Starrynowhere is full of cool videos. Tutorials in fact. She's really amazing just like you.
http://www.youtube.com/user/starrynowhere?feature=watch
As for me. Stress is killing me. Anxiety. Might be from the testosterone suppressors as well. Yet, nothing gives more stress than a financial job. Fish stuff is better. ;D Add to that lobbying and interventions from 'the sovereign' to mess up extraordinary results.I broke a few (national) records with my work. My "hobby" is an escape from the pressure and my wife is understanding. My daughter takes away my nail polish all the time. That's for girls she tells me, not for papa.
We have solden here by the way now. It's a period when prices drop and I am just a drop away from the shopping streets.
I still have your paper about markov chains. I started to develop some intrest in fish populations since they are evolutionary models just like what I need for my timeseries. I found formulas that model fish populations when older generations use younger ones as food. Enough of that.

In winter, I mostly wear the long boots I purchased a month ago. The heel height is no so much high, and they are very comfortable to walk on. A few days ago, a lady commented that I look like a fashion model. I can wear the long boots at my campus, but for other high heels, it is a little bit challenging.

I love high heels but I must admit I do feel a little uneasy with them on. Although I am only 5'6, in heels im about 5'10 and taller than most girls in the club. I never wear platforms and always wear heels that are 4 inches, or 4.5 inches. Sometimes 3.5 inches. Any shorter than that and it just makes your feet look big and your legs look wierd. I think 4 inches is the perfect height. I wear alot of Louboutin Pigalles in 100mm since they are 3.9 inches and still look great!

Nice heels, Barbie. It looks like I'll be taking the summer off from heel-wearing. I broke my big toe while moving wood around in the garage a couple of weeks ago. I have to wear flat sandals and step on back of my foot, which makes me look kind of hobbly. Avoid breaking your toe.

Lyric, take care of your big toe. As a runner, I have always got one or two wounds in my feet. Now my small toes are swollen. Fortunately, the strap of my new heels does not touch it.
Yes. It is risky to wear 4.5 inch heels, but it has 1 inch platform, not so much difficult to walk on.
On the day when the photo was taken, I passed a fishing market with my colleague at night. I was a little bit drunken, but I could walk without any problem. And all of about 40 women who were selling fish there turned their heads and watched me. Nearly all of them commented on me, but I could not hear, except the one like "She walks gallantly." My colleague later commented that he was surprised that so many women watch me, and added that usually women watch me more than men in the street. Probably I was the tallest in the market, as my height looked like 6' 5" (195 cm).
For better walking I plan to decrease my weight by 2 kg (4.4 lbs). Currently my weight is > 67 kg, and my goal is 65 kg. At 65 kg (143 lbs), I can walk on high heels like a ballerina. The difference of 2 kg (4.4 lbs) is actually huge in walking on heels.

I'm 6'0" even and I'd love to be able to wear heels, but I'm not sure if I will ever. I'm a size 10 men's and have bought a 12 women's and I sort of walk out of them. I'm probably more of a size 11 women's or possible a 10 if I push it...

I'm also 6'0" and wear US women's 10 shoes. If the 'wide' size is available, then the size 10 women's sandals will be fine for your feet. For high heel pumps, add 1 or even 2. Sandals are more flexible in size than pumps.

I'm pretty sure you'd wear usually wear a womens 11 (USA sizes). I wear a 9 1/2 mens and 10 1/2 womens is about right for me, if I can find it. Half sizes are scarce in larger sizes, though, but I can get by with an 11 for boots by wearing socks.

You just need some practice. Search YouTube for good videos on walking in heels. With heels you want to take small steps and keep your feet closer together.

As I live in a volcanic island, there are many igneous stones everywhere. It is inactive, but the culture here is based on that.

I'm 5'3 and would wear them on occasion if I could... only because they'd look good with the outfit over anything else I have. Unfortunately I'm having a lot of gait issues, possibly due to a lesion in my brain, that keeps me from wearing them.

I also love heels, and prefer 3", and occasionally wear 4" if they fit me feel. But the more shoes I try, the more new styles I like. There is something about walking in heels, it just feels right though. Finding the right size is always complicated, specially for close shoes (peep toes are more forgiving). If I could i would wear them every day.

I'm 6'2" (like Maria Sharapova) and I'll rock a 3-4" heel if the outfit calls for it or I'm feeling it. You just gotta own it and resist the urge to slouch when talking to women and men shorter than you. I'm a size men's 10.5-11 so you would think I'd be limited to women's 12 but actually, with heels I'm able to "work" an 11 by breaking in the leather/faux leather with tried and true techniques like socks and a hair dryer. 8)
I've had good hunting on Zappos.com, and Nine West but also in store at DSW where they make it so very easy to spend your month's paycheck. Their clearance section is divided by size and you can get some GREAT deals there.

I haven't tried that method, but might sometime. I've gone the other direction, though. I wear 9.5 mens or 10.5 women's but that women's size is pretty scarce. With women's boots I can buy an 11 and wear thick booty socks that don't show.

Nowadays, I am bombarded with ads specifically targeting me. Google and Facebook seem to monitor my internet usage to profile me. The following shoe ad (http://www.zizhel.net/) has appeared for more than 1 month whenever I visit Facebook or other news sites. I am tired of it.

But the sequel is that I eventually purchased one pair, and now I consider ordering another one.
The prices range from US$120 to US$150, relatively expensive, but the products are custom-made to be fit comfortably to my feet.

In male shoes, I wear a 10.5EEEE or 11-11.5XW, so for finding a pair of women's shoes, it usually means that if it fits in the width, the length is off. Ebay, I got a 13W that fit perfectly, but with payless- I've had 1 pair (size 13M) out of 3 not go back (ordering online) as they were cut different. One had an extra inch to the length but the width was amazing, while another was perfect in the length but a tad too narrow. I tried using the '13W=12.5WW=12XW=11.5EEEE' trick with maybe 50% success. Would I be better off buying a smaller size and stretching it a bit?

I love heels maybe up to 3 inches or so, size 9.5-10 medium width womens size shoes. I'm only 5' 8" so they look great but one big toenail hurts some, not sure why, maybe too tight shoes, but it just hurts if I wear nice shoes for very long. So frustrating if I go out for the evening with only this one pair of shoes. So anyway GF's have fun before your toes start to hurt. I'll try back this fall & see if all goes well, maybe.

Every shoe is designed and constructed differently, so even if this worked for one, I probably wouldn't for another. Your best bet is it just try it on a cheap pair and see if works.

A girl can never have too many shoes/heels. Just a suggestion to some. Thrift stores have lots of discarded but nice slightly used women's shoes very inexpensive. Most women will not wear another woman's shoes so there is very little demand. For myself I wear a woman's size 10 normal width which is common, I try on each pair & walk some to make sure of a nice fit. So if you wear a size 10-11 or down you might want to at least go thrift store shopping, you can always find something nice for very few dollars. Good luck GF.

I'm sorta giving up on heels for now. As far as thing goes, 90% of standard heels, even in my size are too narrow for my feet. The only ones that I have and I could surive hours on them are 10 cm and with an "E" Wide. I've been looking at Clarks online shop and most of them have both my size and width, so despite the high prize it may be my salvation.
My issue is always with a closed front, so open toe or really open heels is something I can get away with far easier. My size is usually a 42 EUR, which translates to an US10 or UK8. But the real problem is that they are clearly man-feet.

The general wisdom is that you add one size number to convert from men's to women's shoes. In this age of lousy manufacturing controls and deliberate size confusion, though, it's always best to try them on first.

I guess I also have relatively wide feet, but the shoes I purchased are custom-made, justifying their high price tags, ca. US$ 120-140. When I order, I gave them my feet size in circumference.
ankle 24, the top size 24.5, foot pad 24.5 cm.

Any one like boots?? I just tried on a pair of my winter boots & they feel great. Plain boots with 1-2 inch heel. I'm going to add 2-3 more pairs of nice boots for this winter, 3 inch heel range. It feels good to zip them up.
Yes! I am anxiously waiting for cooler weather to wear my boots.

OMG, I love heels and they are a must for me.
I have actually looked into getting my foot made smaller to fit in heels better. I believe they do the operations in Russia or Thailand. If anybody does know please let me know.

Somebody dropped this at work for me:

Old heels, all 41. On the belief that being open I maybe can fin them. A lot of them are severely scratched, but... I'll have to see what can be salvaged.

Overall, I more or less can use two out of six pairs. The rest are too small or too damaged.

That's OK, give the rest to some resale charity operation, help some other person/woman.
