I can't take my eyes off these

Whilst I don't mind goth ideology, I can't help but hate goth fashion not done properly.

those are nice boots.

you'll break an ankle

Those are a nice, chunky heel. It's the stilettos that murder your ankles.

I don't know how you ladies do it

I loves me some platform boots. I have five pairs. I wear 'em to work.

I don't know how most ladies do it either.
I have more than a couple pairs of shoes that I can't wear. But I LOVE them. But if I put them on and want to stand or walk for more than 20 minutes I am in unbearable pain. It's sooooo depressing. These are GORGEOUS shoes I'm talking about. Not cheap, either. And yet they just sit in my shoe rack. They are so lonely.

But a nice chunky heel on a boot like the above? That's a piece of cake.

Part of the allure of the impossible heels has quite the BDSM connotation in more ways than one. Sure, there's the look of the shoe, the way it makes the calf look, the way it thrusts your bottom out, etc. but there's also the pain involved in wearing them and the discipline it takes in learning how to walk in them. It's awfully freaky when you think about it.

someone wants to be the Kinky Boot Beast!

Nothing wrong with that at all.

I have boots like that. I rarely wear them though.

I have a pair of tall boots like those too (small heel though) and I haven't worn them in years. I stopped wearing them to clubs because my other platform boots give me more height. And they're too tall to wear to work so they've been sitting in the back of my closet feeling very unloved.

I recently watched NIN's "Closer" video again where Trent was rocking the tall boots and that inspired me to pull them out the next I go to the club. Even if it means I'll be a few inches shorter than usual.

I just can't get into the whole chunky heel look.

I am forever a stiletto girl.

sextonseven said:

Just how tall do you need to be anyway?

Sweeny79 said:

At least 6'. My tall boots only have like a 2" heel and I'm 5'9" so they don't cut it. My platforms are all 3.5"-4" so I prefer those. When you walk past those gravers in clubs with their damn 12" platform boots, you need to be as tall as possible.

sextonseven said:

It's not like 5'9 is short!

Why is 6 foot the magic number?

Sweeny79 said:

I dunno, 6' just seems like a nice commanding height. 5'-anything sounds short to me. I don't feel confident walking into clubs without platforms on. They are my security blanket. Like Fonzie's leather jacket.

sextonseven said:

I get it.
I wasn't busting you or anything I was just curious.

Sweeny79 said:

Cool.

And platforms are also mandatory at concerts. Gotta see over everyone's heads in front of me.

sextonseven said:

I can NEVER see at concerts! It's terrible!!!!
I'm like 5'2.

The worst was at Tool a while ago, I didn't see ANYTHING the whole time... I could hardly even see the artwork on the giant ass screens!
My bf is a little over 6 foot and he couldn't see that well either, but at least he saw the artwork!
I guess it was the venue.

i prefer creeper shoes..

Sweeny79 said:

weepingwall said:

I thought you meant creepy ...sorry

Sweeny79 said:

weepingwall said:

I never got into creepers. All my friends love them though.

sextonseven said:

i love them im like 5'4 they make look as if was 5'6

weepingwall said:

Not enough lift for me.

sextonseven said:

see in high school that is normal!

slicksight said:

I'm not keen. It's fair bet that I could fit my whole body into one of those. Why are Goths som miserable looking? Is everything so bleak as they make it out to be?
