I was at my elder son's flat for a couple of days, doing some DIY for him (yet again!), which included work in their bedroom. His partner is a good deal shorter than him and invariably wears heels when out with him. She has a fair collection of heels, some of which were on open show in the bedroom. (They included some Office patent courts with a slender 4.5" stiletto, although I have not yet seen her wearing them.) I could not help noticing a pair of boots very similar to these, with a 3.5" heel and nicely tapered toe, which she wore outside later when we all went out for a curry. To my mind, a very nice boot for male wear in public, with a minimum of concealment; I was jealous!

Yes, I was aware of your unhealthy interest in the Office red courts, Freddy. I think that K's black Office courts were the same model but the heel was no more than 4.5" on her size 37 or 38 (I forget which). I may be in for a long wait to see them worn; K is pregnant with my son's first child and may not venture out in such high heels 'for the duration'. And she went off to work in ballet flats on Friday - but that may have been because she was driving.
