Love your sense of humourI love looking at all kinds of pretty shoes but obviously they're not part of my wardrobe.
Your post was fine, I didn't read it as assertive at all.Re-reading my post Holly, perhaps I came across a tad too assertive, A bit of a know all because I can dance. Forums are new to me, slowly but surely I am beginning to realise that how I write something is just as important as what I write. We can only communicate by the written word, all the other ways we communicate when face to face are lost. The body language, eye contact, minute nuance, none of that we can see. I will be more careful in future.
Just looked at some of those and a few are very lovely indeed. I may just go back to wearing a heel on occasion.Ballroom shoes have one drawback, they are designed for the ballroom floor. The soles are made of a compressed composite that allows the dancers to slide easily across the ballroom floor. Step outside in those shoes and the soles won't last long and if it's wet, they won't last more than a few minutes. That's why, if you have ever seen dancers going to their dance class or other function, they carry a small pouch like bag. It contains their dance shoes.
All is not lost however. There are dance shoes that can be worn in the street, further more, if traditional high heels are a problem, you might consider the more solid Cuban heel. You can still look "sexy" in that type of heel. There are so many variations, see here: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=image+of+ladies+cuban+heel+dance+shoes&t=crhs&iax=images&ia=images
It must be us Oregon girls because when I turned 50 I could have cared less to "dress to impress" anyone other than my husband. I still see women in their 80's trying to look 40 and wonder why. My idea of "high heels" these days are about a 1 inch heal but flats are my favorites!There was a time in my life when I liked to strut it and show it all off. That's when I wore high heels and hung out my boobs. Now I think, why would I want to do that? I also got rid of my dresses. I am comfortable where ever I am and what ever I'm doing. I stopped hanging it out when I was 40, and it still all looked good at that time. Women dress this way for a variety of reason. For me it is was a matter of outgrowing the need to have someone lust after me. Now, before I'm misunderstood for this, these are my thoughts about me. I am not applying them to anyone else.
At my age "high heels" have the same draw as "bikini". Ain't happening.I am a tall, large (2x) woman that loves to dress up. I always wear dresses but have trouble finding âsexyâ or at least fancy enough heels to wear with fancier dresses. I can wear high heeled boots with my dresses in the winter, but when Iâm at a fancy dinner itâs nice to have some sexy strappy shoes to go with my pretty dress.
I have rarely been able to walk in heels, and find as I get older itâs more difficult, especially with extra weight on me.
Iâm also in Canada, where we donât have as large a selection to choose from as in the States. I can likely find what I need online but shipping and returns can be a royal pain.
Have any ladies here found suitable, comfortable heels to wear with dresses?
Neither is a bikini for me!I love looking at all kinds of pretty shoes but obviously they're not part of my wardrobe.
You're such a dolly ..holly.I still have a few pairs of high heel shoes, although aside from an inch and a half or so on sandals, I really can't tell you the last time I wore shoes with high heels. OTOH I do more occasionally wear High heel boots... both ankle and knee length..
Thank you muchly....You're such a dolly ..holly.
