Love4heels Posted June 24, 2012 Report Share Posted June 24, 2012 Took a test to see how my 4" heeled boots will fit on my BMW R1200GSA and if they can be used for riding. Ant point of view? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shyguy Posted June 24, 2012 Report Share Posted June 24, 2012 When you consider the original stated reason for the invention of heels was to help keep mens feet in the stirrup while on horseback it makes sense that they should hold onto the footpegs better than flats I'm also looking how your foot ends up probably further below the gear lever for moving it upwards, but conversely on the brake your foot will end up too low and make stopping difficult = dangerous. Lower heels however may work better. Liking the boots though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That bike looks brand new? 2. Pegs look very shoe-unfriendly? 3. Still luvin' the boots! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lower heels however may work better. Liking the boots though I guess there are custom made adjustable brake & gear pedal on the marked, also pegs that would not scratch up the boots...but high heels on a big offroader does still not match. A custom type of a bike with the legs pointing forward I beleave could be okay with heels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still luvin' the boots! 2011 model Pegs are NOT made for being used with high heels.. My second favorite boots. My 5" are the favorite, but to high for me walking normal.

FastFreddy2 Posted June 25, 2012 Report Share Posted June 25, 2012 I would agree, big off-road bike and heels? No. Special pegs/levers wouldn't make it much safer, especially as you might had to put your foot down hard (on the ground) from time to time, when using it off-road.

Ludovic Posted June 25, 2012 Report Share Posted June 25, 2012 Love the boots. The pegs on my motorcycle were not as aggressive as yours. Not sure it would be a great fit to, looks like the pegs/heels certainly could block your feet from certain movement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FastFreddy2 Posted June 26, 2012 Report Share Posted June 26, 2012 (edited) Excellent pictures, thank you. All I can say is, it's a good job I'm not a neighbour. I'd be a real pest [for the first month at least]. You two wearing heels, motorbike ..... landscape .... and looking at the pictures, sunshine too! You seem to have a very good life. Well done you. P.S. Just checked a shoe conversion chart. EU36 is a US 6 and UK 3½. That is small! .... Edited June 26, 2012 by FastFreddy2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FastFreddy2 Posted June 28, 2012 Report Share Posted June 28, 2012 Oh to have the charm, charisma, and probably good looks to have so much choice! I think with one exception I can remember, all my girlfriends (and wife) came with size 6/EU39. The exception coming with a size 5/EU38, and she with feet now in such a poor condition now, she struggles to walk any distance. I've mentioned her before, having had many operations to straighten toes bent and crooked through 25+ years of wearing fairly high heels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
