Any advice for these boots? - YouLookFab Forum

I stepped (pun intended LOL) out of my comfort zone a little last week. I was out shopping last Wednesday (the post is in What I Wore). I got the boots in the photograph. I've always avoided such ultra high heels, as the arch often looks ridiculous with the foot almost vertical, but these ones did not. I tried them on in the shoe store and decided to get them. It was not this brand name, but these are the boots.

The heel is 6 1/4" and the platform is 1 1/2 inches. Never owned a pair of heels this high, so this is different. I would like to wear them on a date at least once before boot season is over, but for now I am weeing them inside the house, to break them in and get the hang of it. I'm a little leery still of doing steps but almost ready to try.

Have any of you worn heels like this? What has been your experience? Any suggestions? Also, have you tried to drive in them?

Well, I’ve never had platform boots, but I’ve certainly had 4-5” high. One was a pair of Manolo Blahnik spike slings. Beautiful and incredibly flimsy...reminded me of the movie about him and his collection of rubbery shoes. A construction disaster, but people thought the models were being all avant grade walking funny. They were definitely just for standing in the lobby at intermission at the opera: someone had to bring the car round for me. Lol! Your boots look sturdier

Be careful wearing such high heels when the walks could be wet and slick. I have even given away wedge heeled boots as too high in actual boot weather, but you are much much younger and can handle the height. They really make a statement.
