Stilly's Pigalle Parade Plus!!!

[giggles00]

Black Hot Chicks Out For Dinner last night. These were fine until we were walking out of the restaurant and the heel tip broke and the heel then hit the ground rolling up the patent leather. I hobbled to the car with one shoe. I'll send them out for repair next week...

I never wear my Loubies in "concrete jungle", maybe smooth concrete in parking garages. The heel tips (esp Hot Chick) will get torn up pretty quick. My old reliable Pigalle 120 black-patent finally blew a heel tip (see my avatar), with above gentle approach.

I would get a "street use" 5" heel for concrete, carry the Loubies in my purse..then do a swap when I get indoors. I even have Mary Jane flats from Aerosoles, which I will use on long walks ("malling"), then whip out 5" Loubies at my destination.

I have 150mm (6") Ernest black-patent Defi, which has steel tip heels. It's well worn (inside use only), but I would now wear it outside. I have some old Adige 5" pumps (Made in France) from early 80's, which have steel tip heels. Do they even make any shoes with steel tip heels nowadays?

Gorgeous wardrobe and you wear SK so well, have a great evening.



Oh no, sorry to hear... I must admit these sexy stellito are very difficult to walk in so I raise my hat off to you! I only own the black pair and I think that is it for me. I will be living vicariously through you my darling friend.

Thanks BirkinLover!


The Hot Chicks certainly aren't easy to wear but I wish they just made the heel tips a little more durable.

I sometimes wear another pair of heels and change into my CL's when I get to work but usually I'm wearing them outdoors regularly and taking my chances.


Thankfully, most of the good cobblers can fix almost any damage. I'm hoping to have them back from repairs next week...

Tissu Etincelle So Kates in Black & Sliver. These are a nice change of pace to my usual black CL's...

Violet Watersnake So Kates... I actually fell walking in these last night. Thankfully the shoes are fine and only my butt was bruised. If you wear tall heels like this a lot like I do I think falls are inevitable so I take it in stride and move on... Wearing these in the dead of winter has its risks...

The ultra thin heels (So Kate, Pigalle Follies, Hot Chick) can get caught in a crack, incl escalator crevice. Recipe for disaster, imminent fall. A friend slipped on his kids stroller, landed on his wrist..clean break. Ugh. Rugs can be tricky, the heel tip can get caught in some loose threads.

A butt landing is a good landing! There was a gal at an office store who always rocked 5" pumps. She told me how she fell, then tossed the shoes in the garbage..broke-out-laughing as she told me over the phone!

There are a thousand ways to walk in 5" stiletto heels. One gal let the heel wiggle "lavishly", very flirty. I like to let my (foot) heel move inwards after I plant the stiletto heel, then repeat with other foot. A nice subtle flirtatious walk. Couple with a tad bit of "nose in the air" (snobby haughtiness), it garners some negativity from observers. I'm just "acting out", after all

Here's a nice gait by Stilettocouturebella:

foot forward in a crossing motion, as opposed to a conventional gait. ChristChrist (Teamyummymummy) also has this "down"

Both these ladies are competing in the "stiletto challenge". I'm learning from their technique, and I consider myself an expert!

Stilly, you need to jump in the game and get a Youtube channel going on!
