We here in the United States definitely tend to have a larger footprint. Don't get me started on MY shoe size. ;-)

Nice. Did you purchase?

One advantage to living alone. I don't have to worry about such things. LOL ;-)

That heel looks dangerous. Watch out for cracks in the sidewalk.

You're right. The price WOULD be a problem.

That IS an interesting heel. If they offered it on a Taller boot I would consider it.

I have wanted to spend a silly amount of money on a pair of boots for a couple of months now. Initially pencilled in a Christmas present, it was more a 'mid-life-crisis' amount of money. It's that or get a motor bike, which has the potential to be seriously less healthy.

If I'm honest, my thinking is if I do that, it should curb my interest in owning so many more less expensive styles. It sort of sits on hh4evr1 remark that it's better to own one good pair than lots of cheaper ones? Certainly makes sense as I only wear about 4 styles. The rest are just eye candy!

The decision process went something like........ Over £500 and I'd never be able to look at myself in the mirror, nor maybe anyone else come to think of it. [it's a ridiculous amount of money for a pair of shoes!] Then anything less than say £250, is practically high street pricing. [LK Bennet, Russell and Bromley, Kurt Geiger all have shops with shoes/boots for this sort of money.] So probably over £300 and under £500.

I found a potential boot, by Azzedine Alaïa on sale for £425 at Net-a-Porter. Quite stylised, so not likely to be copied. High heel with slim hidden platform, so probably comfortable. Sizing maybe an issue. Italian sizing [usually slim] might be okay, but I'd want to try the largest size first. But .... "Out of stock". I've been watching the site every day for what must be a couple of weeks. Think it was last Friday, stock popped up in the EU41 size. I was too busy Saturday and Sunday to sit down and order, so had a look Monday morning, already having decided I would buy. To my dismay [and maybe relief] both the 41 and 40 1/2 had gone! Not sure why, maybe an earlier error being remedied. Maybe someone else unsure of their foot size ordered both?

The site provides free returns, so why not? I had considered doing the same thing myself. The answer will be if one size reappears. Thing is, I'm not sure I could make the "I'm buying" decision again on a £400 pair of boots?"

Something like >> these << ?

My favourites there ,,,,,,, >> wearable ankle boot <<

That's the exact pair. 6 inch heels don't frighten me. I get around quite well in them. ;-)

Sounds interesting, do you have a link?

Unfortunately, since I'm accessing this site via the mobile site, I can't post a link. They are knee-high boots with a 6 inch heel and a pointed toe. The next time I'm on my computer, I'll try to post a link.

Merry Christmas to you too. And yes, I am ordering a pair of Fuss stiletto boots as a belated Christmas present to myself. (I live alone)

Many of the newer Android phones are really good for this sort of thing. ;-)

Big boot weekend coming up. Halloween here in the States. Costumes=boots. ;-)

Cooler weather has finally arrived in our corner of the world. Boot time. ;-)

The fact that Winehouse's boyfriend is a criminal doesn't help her much. There's no one around her to provide a positive attitude. The blind leading the blind.

I have to admit, I was expecting a little more activity on the forums on this site. All of those names in the members section, and it seems the same two or three people are the only ones talking. Hmmm.

They are all Pleaser brand boots. Seduce 3010 and Domina 3013. They are all thighboots, so you can imagine how uncomfortable they are in hot weather.

Those are indeed my boots in my avatar, FF2. If you want to see more pictures of my boots, I'm on Flickr under the name bootheel65.

The summer heat has finally arrived here in Texas. Time to put the boots away until fall. Absolutely too hot to have that much leather covering the legs.

I realize my response is a little late, but that is a great looking boot. Must be nice to have a reasonable shoe size.

11 pairs of stiletto boots. 9 pair thigh highs, 2 pair knee highs. In black, red, and white leather.

I've always found something empowering about boots. They are definitely my preference. Just wondering what everyone else prefers
