High heels -- C/D

-heels, classic without a doubt.

-heels with jeans, not so. Very 2003 and def. frat-ish. I'm loving pointy-toed kitten-heels or flats with jeans right now.

-I defintely find thongs more comfortable than briefs and if you find the right size and proper fit "wedgies" are not a problem. Also since you can get liners/pads in thong style (not to mention tampons) periods are not an issue. (who has periods anymore anyway? Sooo 2002.)

tapered are cut to fit tightly down through the ankle. the anti-flare, as opposed to the wonderful straight-leg cut which is more like non-flared. as silly as they often look, i can't bring myself to hate tapered jeans because they are the polar opposite of flares and flares = the grossness.

Taken today. Almost three full months I've had this blister!

CHEERS

Evidence against.

Heels don't kill people, trains do!

... from my cold dead feet!

(er, sorry)

I live v close to a subway station. Half the sidewalks are covered in subway grills. But girls wearing heels can't walk on subway grills. So they have to walk on the wrong side of the sidewalk. So everyone not wearing heels has to weave back and forth between the the people who can walk on the right side of the sidewalk and the people who can't. Funk that.

walk down other streets and stuff

In terms of "minor things that would have prevented the whole tragedy", I think the award really goes to "MADE A U-TURN ON A GRAVELLED RAILROAD CROSSING".

That is an x-post. I have no suggestions to prevent the tragedy of gabbneb.

eh. the laces from an ugly, sensible pair of shoes could just as easily have gotten caught on something, likewise preventing escape.

the tragedyie of gabbneb

I mean, what could be worse? "I swear to god you are the WORST navigator when you're drunk, now I have to turn around AGAIN. This barely-frozen river ice will probably hold us while I fix my lipstick, don't you think? Don't mind the ravening wolf pack or the zombies, I'm sure they won't bother us."

I would see Laurel's horror movie.

does anyone know if it is possible for a cobbler to take a couple inches off of very high heels?

also, what do you think of buying shoes that are a full size too big? is there any way to make them wearable?

Well, I think there's a metal rod inside the heel, actually, so they'd be grinding it down...also then the toe would probably point up, since the hinge was made for the front to be flat on the ground relative to the heel height. I've never considered it...perhaps ask a shoe place? Pref a good one, tho, since this sounds like a major project.

Re size too big: you can put in halters, which are the little cork pads that push your feet back into the heels. It seems like a pain for a full size, tho.

Now I'm curious -- what is up??

haha nothing really. i just wore some 4 inch heels yesterday and realized i can't walk more than 10 blocks in them. and so i was looking at flat boots online and found the exact same pair as a comfy pair i already have, but in brown, on sale, but they are a size big.

^but if anyone's an 8.5 (i think they run a little big, im usually an 8 but got at 7.5) these are awesome boots

In my opinion there's no point in getting shoes that don't (quite) fit, but maybe that's just how I talk myself out of the more borderline purchases that I don't really need.

Four inches is quite a lot of heel! But when would you be walking more than 10 blocks when you wd also be dressed up/secksy enough for such boots?

almost always! there's not really anything worth dressing up for in my hood (wore them to a sushi restaurant last night, eh)
