			<description><![CDATA[Been running the 3d printer 24 hours a day 7 days a week recently but I found an opening and so an old pet project of mine got printed. Specifically I like the strange metallic heel at the back of the portal 2 boot which has a very graceful look to it. I once grabbed the file for the boots, cut off the main part of the boot to make an independent heel. This time I sized it to be roughly anatomically correct at around 43 cm tall or Thereabouts and cut it in two to make it printable with a hastily put together dovetail joint. 24 hours of print time later I had a heel. <br />
<br />
Don't have the full boot yet as it would be difficult to print so I just strapped the heel to me with some rope. Not the best mount, kinda wobbly. The heel part actually worked great, surprisingly it diverted stress away from the back of my foot which was quite comfortable, the only downside being the lack of a toe pad or shoe meant that I had to maintain foot position by myself which is annoying and the heel liked to move slightly to the left or right due to lack of proper mounting. Photos are attached. I find it funny that the pose and camera angle exaggerates my calves. Also of note trying to get up or down from the ground  with the heel is an annoyance. It is just so long.<br />

			<description><![CDATA[I was just cleaning my two pairs of heeled boots (Pleaser type-black patent, one stilletto and one platform) - and I thought back to my first pair.<br />
<br />
They were a Black patent pair of padlocked lace up ankle boots, bought at great expense (I did not earn much in those days!) from a Fetish shop in Peter Street , Soho, London. I had purchased many items of clothing from there over an extended time, and also some classic bondage gear - leather cuffs, ballgags, rope, straps, etc and had gotten to know the enthusiastic proprietor quite well, he often asked if I wanted to try on some of the shoes or boots, which I had always declined. I suppose I was not quite ready to turn my Bondage leanings into pure transvestism at that stage, but then one day I had a bit of money and thought why not.<br />
<br />
I remember him finding some items in my size, and I chose to try on a pair very similar to these:<br />
<br />
<img src="https://ae01.alicdn.com/kf/HTB1LIakm3LD8KJjSszeq6yGRpXam/12cm-sexy-ankle-Boots-with-locking-DWT-TV-CD-Free-shipping-BY-DHL.jpg_220x220q90.jpg" loading="lazy"  alt="[Image: 12cm-sexy-ankle-Boots-with-locking-DWT-T...220q90.jpg]" class="mycode_img" /><br />
<br />
They were very exciting - extremely difficult to walk in at first (of course) and the most erotic thing I had ever worn! I had to have them and bought them on the spot! I think they cost around £95 which was an awful lot of money back then, but the urge to buy was strong, and the shopkeeper assured me they were well made and had steel pins in the heels for unbreakable strength.<br />
<br />
I had them for years, they survived many 'adventures' - midnight walks through the garden, along the sea wall in sussex, many tight bondage scenarios and even a few suspensions! The first time hogtied myself using the heels as the tether was ground-breaking!<br />
<br />
But ultimately they became worn and the Patent was cracking and flaking, so I decided to part company with them and purchase something new (cannot remember what I had next, you only remember your first love???).<br />
<br />
I have had Court shoes, low heels, heels so high I couldn't even stand, thigh highs, knee highs, lace up, zip, or strapped shoes in many colours and styles over the years, but these were the first and they were special.<br />
<br />
So, what were your first fetish shoes??]]></description>

I suppose I was not quite ready to turn my Bondage leanings into pure transvestism at that stage, but then one day I had a bit of money and thought why not.<br />
<br />
I remember him finding some items in my size, and I chose to try on a pair very similar to these:<br />
<br />

<br />
They were very exciting - extremely difficult to walk in at first (of course) and the most erotic thing I had ever worn! I had to have them and bought them on the spot! I think they cost around £95 which was an awful lot of money back then, but the urge to buy was strong, and the shopkeeper assured me they were well made and had steel pins in the heels for unbreakable strength.<br />
<br />
I had them for years, they survived many 'adventures' - midnight walks through the garden, along the sea wall in sussex, many tight bondage scenarios and even a few suspensions! The first time hogtied myself using the heels as the tether was ground-breaking!<br />
<br />
But ultimately they became worn and the Patent was cracking and flaking, so I decided to part company with them and purchase something new (cannot remember what I had next, you only remember your first love???).<br />
<br />
I have had Court shoes, low heels, heels so high I couldn't even stand, thigh highs, knee highs, lace up, zip, or strapped shoes in many colours and styles over the years, but these were the first and they were special.<br />
<br />
So, what were your first fetish shoes??]]></content:encoded>

			<description><![CDATA[How many people here love ballet heels/boots as much as I do?<br />
<br />
They are my go to footwear for me. I have a couple of pairs of high heels. But I always gravitate back to the ballet heels. I think it’s the fact that they really make your legs look long, combined with the fact that they are uncomfortable and very restrictive for movement. <br />
<br />
What are your thoughts?<br />
<br />
Love them? <br />
<br />
Hate them?]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I've been thinking about going out for a walk in high heels, but there is a problem. Where I live, there is no place I can go out without (the posibility of) being seen.<br />
I wear size 41, but I feel comfortable with women's size 40. So my first option was to buy myself some mountain boots size 43. Inside i can hide a women's wedges size 39 without anyone seeing I'm wearing high heels. The problem is that the narrow heel started to cut through the sole of the boots. Not a viable solution for more than a few meters walk.<br />
<br />
Any other ideas on how to hide high heels?]]></description>

<span style="font-style: italic;" class="mycode_i"><span style="color: #1f497d;" class="mycode_color"><span style="font-size: small;" class="mycode_size">I was indeed going to send you the mock boots first to try on and they have been cut ready to be made up. However due to the long wait you have had to endure and the volume of work I have to get through, have decide to take a chance with all below knee boots and get the final products finished for all customers instead in an effort to catch up on the backlog. As I am making all patterns myself now as well as all the shoemaking, albeit with some help from the trainees, I am quite confident you will not have any issues with the fit. Most of the boots which have been sent out recently have had no fitting problems and I am sure this will also be the case with yours. Some time saving decisions have to be made in order to get back to shorter delivery times without sacrificing the quality of the products and this is one of the few areas that can.</span></span></span><br />

<span style="color: black;" class="mycode_color"><span style="font-size: small;" class="mycode_size">I don’t appear to have received replies to my previous emails of 1/11/2015 and 3/12/2015.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: black;" class="mycode_color"><span style="font-size: small;" class="mycode_size">It’s now eleven months since I ordered my Ring Master boots and it seems I’m no closer to receiving them. I know you’ve had staffing problems but I intend to draw a line under this transaction.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: black;" class="mycode_color"><span style="font-size: small;" class="mycode_size">Ideally, I’d still like to receive my boots and I’ll give you four weeks from today (until 3rd February 2016) to supply them. That’ll be a year to the day after my order and payment. </span></span><br />
<span style="color: black;" class="mycode_color"><span style="font-size: small;" class="mycode_size">At that point I’ll expect to have either my boots or a full refund of £390 in my Paypal account. If not I shall be making a claim for my money plus interest in the Small Claims Court. I’m sorry that it’s come to this but I don’t see the problem being resolved otherwise.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: black;" class="mycode_color"><span style="font-size: small;" class="mycode_size">I've attached a pdf of our correspondence over the last eleven months.</span></span><br />

<span style="color: black;" class="mycode_color"><span style="font-size: small;" class="mycode_size">A year today from my order and no sign of them yet. I'd still like to receive the Ring Masters but I see on your Facebook page people who have been waiting thirteen, eighteen months and frankly I've long lost faith in the whole process. So, give me a realistic, set-in-stone deadline because if they're not with me on time this time (and I don't have a full refund) I'm going straight to the court.</span></span><br />

<span style="color: black;" class="mycode_color"><span style="font-size: small;" class="mycode_size">I am sorry about this but the relocation process has really taken much more of my time than I anticipated. I have now finished with this and can focus my attention fully on the production issues. I can assure you I will have these finished for you shortly. I will give you a final deadline date of 4th March but can promise you will receive them before this date.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-style: italic;" class="mycode_i"><span style="color: #1f497d;" class="mycode_color"><span style="font-size: small;" class="mycode_size">I was indeed going to send you the mock boots first to try on and they have been cut ready to be made up. However due to the long wait you have had to endure and the volume of work I have to get through, have decide to take a chance with all below knee boots and get the final products finished for all customers instead in an effort to catch up on the backlog. As I am making all patterns myself now as well as all the shoemaking, albeit with some help from the trainees, I am quite confident you will not have any issues with the fit. Most of the boots which have been sent out recently have had no fitting problems and I am sure this will also be the case with yours. Some time saving decisions have to be made in order to get back to shorter delivery times without sacrificing the quality of the products and this is one of the few areas that can.</span></span></span><br />

<span style="color: black;" class="mycode_color"><span style="font-size: small;" class="mycode_size">I don’t appear to have received replies to my previous emails of 1/11/2015 and 3/12/2015.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: black;" class="mycode_color"><span style="font-size: small;" class="mycode_size">It’s now eleven months since I ordered my Ring Master boots and it seems I’m no closer to receiving them. I know you’ve had staffing problems but I intend to draw a line under this transaction.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: black;" class="mycode_color"><span style="font-size: small;" class="mycode_size">Ideally, I’d still like to receive my boots and I’ll give you four weeks from today (until 3rd February 2016) to supply them. That’ll be a year to the day after my order and payment. </span></span><br />
<span style="color: black;" class="mycode_color"><span style="font-size: small;" class="mycode_size">At that point I’ll expect to have either my boots or a full refund of £390 in my Paypal account. If not I shall be making a claim for my money plus interest in the Small Claims Court. I’m sorry that it’s come to this but I don’t see the problem being resolved otherwise.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: black;" class="mycode_color"><span style="font-size: small;" class="mycode_size">I've attached a pdf of our correspondence over the last eleven months.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: black;" class="mycode_color"><span style="font-size: small;" class="mycode_size">Please acknowledge this email.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: black;" class="mycode_color"><span style="font-size: small;" class="mycode_size">Regards</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b"><span style="text-decoration: underline;" class="mycode_u"><span style="color: black;" class="mycode_color">3/1/2016</span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: black;" class="mycode_color"><span style="font-size: small;" class="mycode_size">‘You have my personal assurance that you will receive your boots within the next few weeks’.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: black;" class="mycode_color"><span style="font-size: small;" class="mycode_size"> </span></span><br />
<span style="color: black;" class="mycode_color"><span style="font-size: small;" class="mycode_size">A year today from my order and no sign of them yet. I'd still like to receive the Ring Masters but I see on your Facebook page people who have been waiting thirteen, eighteen months and frankly I've long lost faith in the whole process. So, give me a realistic, set-in-stone deadline because if they're not with me on time this time (and I don't have a full refund) I'm going straight to the court.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: black;" class="mycode_color"><span style="font-size: small;" class="mycode_size"> </span></span><br />
<span style="color: black;" class="mycode_color"><span style="font-size: small;" class="mycode_size">Regards,</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black;" class="mycode_color"><span style="font-size: small;" class="mycode_size"> </span></span><br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b"><span style="text-decoration: underline;" class="mycode_u"><span style="color: black;" class="mycode_color">6/2/2016</span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: black;" class="mycode_color"><span style="font-size: small;" class="mycode_size"> </span></span><br />
<span style="color: black;" class="mycode_color"><span style="font-size: small;" class="mycode_size">Hello, </span></span><br />
<span style="color: black;" class="mycode_color"><span style="font-size: small;" class="mycode_size"> </span></span><br />
<span style="color: black;" class="mycode_color"><span style="font-size: small;" class="mycode_size">I am sorry about this but the relocation process has really taken much more of my time than I anticipated. I have now finished with this and can focus my attention fully on the production issues. I can assure you I will have these finished for you shortly. I will give you a final deadline date of 4th March but can promise you will receive them before this date.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: black;" class="mycode_color"><span style="font-size: small;" class="mycode_size"> </span></span><br />
<span style="color: black;" class="mycode_color"><span style="font-size: small;" class="mycode_size">Thank you for persevering with this.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: black;" class="mycode_color"><span style="font-size: small;" class="mycode_size"> </span></span><br />
<span style="color: black;" class="mycode_color"><span style="font-size: small;" class="mycode_size">Regards,</span></span><br />
<span style="color: black;" class="mycode_color"><span style="font-size: small;" class="mycode_size">Cos.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: black;" class="mycode_color"><span style="font-size: small;" class="mycode_size"> </span></span><br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b"><span style="text-decoration: underline;" class="mycode_u"><span style="color: black;" class="mycode_color">7/2/2016</span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: black;" class="mycode_color"><span style="font-size: small;" class="mycode_size">Hi,</span></span><br />
<span style="color: black;" class="mycode_color"><span style="font-size: small;" class="mycode_size"> </span></span><br />
<span style="color: black;" class="mycode_color"><span style="font-size: small;" class="mycode_size">OK Cos, one last chance. But if I don't have my boots or a refund by the 4th March I'm going straight to the Small Claims Court, no more correspondence.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: black;" class="mycode_color"><span style="font-size: small;" class="mycode_size">Regards,</span></span>]]></content:encoded>

			<description><![CDATA[I love panties hose and Stilettos. Lately I've had the opportunity to wear them all day for several days in a row. I've tried taking my evening exercise "health" walk but find that I just can't make the 3-4 mile walk.  So the question is:<br />
<br />
What is the furthest you have walked before giving in and taking them off ? <br />
