I finally got the nerve to wear my Hot Chicks to work this week after being encouraged by you all and the girls at work. I paired them with a more conservative Kate Spade floral dress to tone down the sky high heels a bit. I'll have to admit, after 7 hours, I had to switch over to a pair of Black Patent So Kates as my ankles were feeling it... :hrmm:View attachment 3438653

Wow Stilly! I am so impressed!:smile:

You have such style and wear them with classy panache, showing how they are completely office appropriate in the black patent!:tup:

I'm very impressed that you managed 7 hours on your first wear to the office and I'm sure that after a few wears you will be be able to last a full day - was this a "once only" thing, or are you now adding them to your work rotation? - I originally wore my Black Patent Pigalle 120's to work for an important meeting, & only lasted 4 hrs, but now I wear them once or twice a week and easily last all day (but feel it). (My other office heels are all 4".)

Can I ask some questions about the heel height please?

A good test is to try and raise your heels without bending your knees. If you can raise your heels, even a little bit, the heels aren't too high. I can only raise my heels about quarter of an inch in my 120's, so 130 may be too high for me?

Can you raise your heels in the Hot Chicks (or any of your 130's)? How far can you raise your heels in your 120's?

Was it only your ankles that were feeling it? Where the balls of your feet ok? Did your arches ache? Could you have pushed on for longer, or were you ankles killing you after 7 hours?

I hope you wear them to the office again! You are such an inspiration! :heart:

Thanks so much Jodie!

I quickly tried your test and could raise both the Hot Chicks and So Kates between 1/8" to 1/4". The pointed toe prevents me from doing much more. I can do much higher with a style like the Lady Peeps or Allenissima 130's that has the rounded toe.

My feet and ankles were both sore after that 7 hours. The balls of my feet weren't so bad but the toes and ankles suffered the most. Hot Chicks really aren't meant for this type of wear but I had too try it.

I should also have added that I used to only wear my Pigalles to work 2-3 times a month & after around 6 hours would change to lower heels.

Seeing your pictures here almost 3 months ago inspired me to wear them more often - now around 6 times a month & I started pushing through the discomfort & keeping them on the entire day!

I'm now thinking of buying a second pair of Loub's for the office - probably the So Kate's, but seeing how good your black Hot Chicks look for work has also made me consider them (hence my questions on you wearing yours to work) ...but if even the amazing Stilly isn't putting them in her work rotation... :hrmm:

Even if you can only raise your heels 1/8" it proves that they aren't too high for you.

PS: Loving the Crosspiga's! I love the white on you & love the toe cleaveage. They make your toes look so small! :heart:

I notice in many of your pic's you stand with your toes pointed together, which looks very cute & flattering.

Do you naturally find yourself standing like this, or is it just a pose for the pictures?

Love, J

No I do stand like this. I do love the toe cleavage on the Crosspigas which is why I have 3 pairs.
Great to hear you're putting your CL's to use and wearing them to work. They're far too beautiful to not wear them whenever you get the chance!
I may still wear the Hot Chicks to work more often...provided I can build up a little more tolerance in my ankles and feet...:smile:
