Not yet, that will be a project for this evening (AM here atm).

I'm curious!

Why Thank You for the thought Sir.

It is on my wish list to have some knee high boots with a stiletto heel. However I have small, but broad feet - what sort of toe do they have? Colours? Leather?

Did you try 1 size bigger than yours?

Does that work?

I have to admitt; most boots that I have are vintage, and they're quite small.

Did you check on Ebay?

An academy in Vienna, Austria learns guys to walk in heels.

What do we think? ;-)

Same here. Makes me smile. I have done a lot of cycling - I mean a lot - as well as fencing when I was younger so I have strong and flexible feet and ankles which help a lot. Even when I first tried them on I could walk okay, just not with style. That’s the elusive part

you are way further than most of us, so still The Man! :-)

what about this??

I’d like to walk gracefully in them - not in a feminine way, but with masculine panache. I enjoy wearing them. Want to do it better, be fluent. Ike learning to speak another language, but without an accent. Something you Dutch people excel at!

Amazing discipline you have, I like it :-)

I'd like that too; walking gracefully in them.

Something I still can't, but the idea makes me smile.

Although this is an 'ancient hello'

Welkom Nederlander :-)

I'm new here. I love heels and have many of them. Without heels, I feel naked. I'm curious, what I experience in this forum, I am looking forward to it.

Those shoes are amazing!

Very nice toebox and good leather quality!

more please :-)

Thank you. But I have a lot of work to do if I am ever to glide in them like some women high heeled aficionados I know!

well...you are a man.... so why even bother?

You do what a lot of us aren't able to, nor dare!

If you have £60 or £80 you'd like to spend on your nearest and dearest, (or yourself) this might make an interesting ornament.

 

I want one! :-)

Pretty good movie for us heel-aficionados.

Plus the (nearly) always lovely Charlize Theron wearing them  

 

The shoe that he's holding, is not the one she's wearing in the other photo.

Look at the shape of the heel.

The golden sandals that the girl on the right is wearing....woohoo!

Well, I wear them all day, but in my office I don’t walk terribly far, obviously. I eat lunch standing up, and try to get up from my desk every twenty minutes or so, and walk around, so I suppose I do a bit of walking through the day.

You are a star!

I'm jealouse :-)

Nope, those particular boots are flat. I have brown knee boots with flat (low heel) soles and a pair of brown knee boots with 120mm stilettos.

I wear my low heeled brown knee boots everywhere, and over skinny jeans.

The boots are lovely. Custom made and fit beautifully. 

My stiletto knee boots I wear just in my home office.

How long can you walk in the 12 cm.??

The brown knee boots referred to there are from France!

As long as they have a stiletto, I'm in, haha :-)

I just read it! cool story! :-)

Nice photo's added :-)

My New Year's resolutions revolve mainly around finding agents and publishers for a couple of book manuscripts I have written, but also getting more mileage on my bicycle, renewing my blogging, and learning how to walk really well in my stiletto boots. For a variety of distracting reasons I have not worn them nearly as much as I had imagined I would, but I hope to do better this year. On the bright side I have worn my (flat) knee and over-the-knee boots so much they have pretty well become my standard footwear, especially this winter. My chocolate brown knee boots, worn over skinny jeans, are worn everyday.

  

Your 2019 sounds interesting and exciting!

Good luck in finding this publisher, and keep us posted on the brown italians ;-)

Their boots really are first rate.

You pay a 'bit', but than you quite something.

They use high quality leather.

You have style, @Shyheels :-)

I have, has a matter of fact. I have a pair of stiletto boots from them - their Tina style, a classic knee boot in chocolate brown. I am not really that much into heels, as a rule, but like flat knee and OTK boots, but I did want to try a pair of stilettos and bought myself the Tina's as an adventure. I like them very much, although I am not a fan of pointed toes and would much prefer if they were round or almond shaped. But that's by the by. The important thing was to try stilettos and I really enjoyed it, and war them often in my home office.

Wow..amazing!

I know the Tina boots; very nice ones. I have the Chionia in red. Lovely leather. I do agree, they 're a bit too pointy, but other than that.. great quality for a good price.

A 45 or 46 here which is why I have custom made boots.

Have you heard of Italianheels?

Very nice quality, also custom mafe if you like (and can afford)

Thanks!   Yes, I saw your photos but wasn't sure of heel height - and in your modest (size 40) size, the height can look greater.    I envy anyone who can wear an Eu40 - I am usually Eu45!

It's way easier to find boots in a size 40, for sure!

But i look for specific vintage made between 1950-late 80's and not much woman had feet size 40 back than; mostly smallerike 36, 37, 38.

So still.. not easy for me, but I can't complain at all : )

I'm a 39 or even 38......

You are a lucky guy!

I might have very nice noots for you in stock (I collect boots) but not sure if you wear 3 to 4 inch stiletto's??

I have a website for my photography it - together with 35 years worth of contacts - generates enough business for me so that I don't need to worry too much about Instagram. If I was just starting out it might be a different story 

Indeed!

Quite a difference compared to this site ;-)

I'll check your site later.

I've been a model photographer for many years, so I'm interested!

I'll continue to steer clear of social media, but am certainly willing to take a more active part here.

I am a professional photographer and so I know about the promotional potential of Instagram. Some of my colleagues use it a lot, others steer clear. Kind of a tough call.

I agree with everything you said. The tool is good, but you have to use it properly, not only to use it for 'showing of'.

It's all about he use of the right # 's
