Shoes

I used to wear heels, the higher the better for me they were. But since my ages advances rapidly, I lately am purchasing flats. I am addicted with loafers. 

I have an eye for this one in lilac color Franco Sarto

 

And you ladies, what shoe do you fancy wearing it?

That's a pretty shoe, but I would prefer sans tassels.  Just a thing for me, I've never like tassels on anything.  Have seen that cross strap a lot lately so I take it that's current fashion.  On my screen it looks white.  I was expecting pale lavender.  I think my screen colors are off.

It's been over a decade since I wore high heels, but I still like a low heel.  However, like you said, age makes us want flats more and more.  All my life I've wanted leather moccasins and I just got my first pair.  As expected, I don't even know they're on my feet.... soooo comfy, but I only wear them to town.  Out here in the country I spend most of my time in boring sneakers and house slippers, lol.  Traction on lumpy ground trumps fashion.

So, rather sheepishly, I have to admit that I'm still addicted to high heels. I know they aren't particularly practical for everyday wear, but personally I'm just not inspired much by flats.   My favorite heel height is between 3 inches and 3 3/4 inches, just the right height to meet my fashion standards, yet not too tall to walk in naturally.  

 

I do have a couple of pairs of flats for extremely casual events, but I always try to find an excuse to wear high heels.

I love high heels too.  Even though I haven't "mastered" the walk yet, I just love the way they make my legs look ?

I would love a couple cute pairs, of varying heel heights, nothing to crazy, as I'm 6'2". If anyone knows where I can find some that delivers to Canada and stocks cute ones in size 13 please let me know. Stripper heels are not my style, and that's all I can find so far.

 

Same goes for flats, sandals and boots. Why do they have to be utilitarian and ugly in my size. ?

I completely feel your pain. I'm a size 13 also. I've got a few pairs from Long Tall Sally (including my cute boots). They're currently going out of business, so I'd hurry. I can get gym shoes and sandals from Amazon. Exotic High Heels has stuff in our size, but nothing I'd call daily wear. DSW has a selection in our size as well. Not a HUGE selection, but they've got some stuff we can wear. Avenue and Torrid also offer a small selection.

 

There seems to be an unwritten law that the bigger shoes become the uglier they have to be. Finding something you like in Sasquatch can be challenging. Good luck!

 

Hugs!

Thanks Jackie. I am thinking of taking up shoe making as a hobby at this point. That or medicine so I can develop a surgery to make me smaller.

Hi Sara.  Size 13 Women's? (that would be size 11 mens).
I have had some success on Amazon.  In the shoe section do a By Size search.   Good luck❣️

So I ordered these in 12 and they just fit my 13 feet. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0784HDKK8/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1. I almost killed myself in them so threw them away. lol. Right now I would settle for any shoe I can find in a 13.  I've discovered size 11 sandals that fit me but 13 sandals not.  My foot measures a 13 solid.

When I was first coming out and starting my transition, I'd clomp around campus in these big platform heel boots that I got off Amazon. They were labelled size 14, but fit more like a size 11, and they had a 4.75 inch heel so needless to say they were pretty killer on my feet. The first time I wore them, I missed a step going down into our dining hall and fell in front of everyone. I'm pretty tall, had bright pink hair at the time and let out a very creative string of curses on my way down so it caused quite the scene. Since then though, I've opted for much more practical shoes, mostly flats and the few heels I have are lower and blockier, or wedges.

The last time that I wore stiletto heels, was when the Parthenon was built.

 

You're not that old @Dinaki!!!  But I can relate.  I wear flats mostly.  I don't wear heals over 1.5 inches.  Too wobbly!

      Good afternoon,    I have a young friend who is vegetarian and married to a full on meat eater. They have two areas of their grill clearly designated for their different cooking requirements. When she’s cooking she uses tongs or chopsticks to handle any meats. When he’s cooking he respects her request not to cook her meals on the side where meat has been. They get along fine and respect each other.    When she attends our house, she usually brings her own food, but knows I will clean my grill to meet her requirements. We love and respect her commitment to be vegetarian. I love that she trusts me to make her comfortable when visiting us. There are ways to make it work.    Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      I was going to call it Numbness, then I realised well.. it isn't. basically, yeah, it isn't.   this only happens to me sometimes. I'll be lying down and my legs will.. well, I guess lock?   If I straighten them out, they will unlock- when I roll over again, they will lock again. this lasts for around 10/ 15 minutes I guess   it's not pins and needles either

      In this case the MAGA GOP transphobes Just my opinion of course
    • atlantis63
      so, a close friend wants to cook for me   the issue is, she is a vegitarian and won't handle meat- I, on the other hand, won't handle vegetables- hate the things   every time she goes out to the shop, she comes back with something.. a cake, a fruit smoothie, a coffee, I won't eat any of it. please help me think of something that she could make for me that I'll actually eat   disclaimer: you are talking to the most pickiest eater in the world. good luck

      I think there is some truth in this.  They intend to implement Project 2025, whether or not he spends his energies persecuting the Democrats who have been persecuting him (in his view, a debatable point) and does nothing else.   I have seen numerous accusations that the document is about "Trumpism", whatever that is, and is merely a vehicle for him to become dictator.  From what I have read so far, that is the same sort of truth as the Steele Dossier, denying the validity of a certain laptop, Schiff's non-existence evidence of collaboration and a host of other things, many directly from Biden, that are simply not true.   I will continue reading it.

      Who, precisely, are "they"?

      Wife of mine pointed out that not getting a haircut for a month looks hideous - weird bald patches.  So back to super- short buzz cut.  This morning I braced, looking in the mirror.  I look like a woman trying to pass as a a guy, maybe  a small-breasted woman with enough T treatment to grow a mustache.    I would not believe me if I read what I write about me.  This is nuts.   White t-shirt: that they sell in the back of WM so you can tie-dye them or otherwise decorate them. They are thick and long lasting and slightly fitted, so that they could be a man's.  I like them.   Jeans, flip flops.   I will no longer point out these are women's.  What else would I wear?

      That is all that is necessary. I did the same thing. I must have gotten something wrong.

      Quite right mate! I have been letting my hair grow out again (I cut it all off when I was 18).    I'll never look this good:    But I'll aspire to look my best! ☺️
