[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Random question: does anyone know if it's possible to have the heels on a pair of boots completely changed? Say, if a pair of boots had impossibly tall louis-style heels, could I take them somewhere and have those heels removed and replaced with more sturdy heels of a sensible height?
(I'm betting the answer is no, but I'm just not sure.)

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Jilli, I'm totally talking out of my ass here, but I'm thinking the answer is no. If you change the height of the heel you'll change the angle of the boot in relation to the ground (and the point where the front of the boot contacts the ground), as well as the angle of the ankle. I would think that boots are designed to a specific set of angles. If you did this it'd be as if you were walking while leaning backwards, and the ankle part of the boot might not like that.

possibly, but you'd have to find more than your garden variety shoe repair place. You'd have to find a place that could replace a broken heel. And it might cost you a lot.

Trust my rage
I was thinking what Tommy said, but I didn't want to say it for the same reason. Also, if the heels are high, I would imagine that the soles are pretty stiff and I"m not sure how you would bend them to the right angle.

I have gotten heels completely replaced when they were all worn down before. Shoe repair places can do some amazing things. I can't see how you could change the height, really, but changing the type of heel seems likely to be possible, and maybe there's magic that can be dpne with the height.

tommyrot, that's kind of what I was thinking. Which is probably for the best, because I do not need ANY reason to think I could make these boots practical in any way. Because they run about 400 Euros, and I should not covet boots that are that pricey.
But oh gracious, they're pretty.

If anyone deserves those boots, it's you Jilli.
American [people], you know what they have. They don't have families. Well, not that they don't have families, but they're not close.
Ha! My father notwithstanding, that side of the family is very very very close. Hell, we have a whole hill that's just our family's trailers. Mimi and Grandaddy, Samantha (Dad's cousin's daughter), Rita and Bo (Dad's cousin and her husband), Uncle Bobby, Aunt DJ, and Uncle Johnny and Aunt Mingion- and that's not counting the summer trailer Uncle Don and Patti have around the way (that's K's dad). K and I were raised like sisters, and I know all of my dad's cousins and most of their children. I was very close to Grandaddy's brother and his wife, Uncle Acey and Aunt Dorothy. I almost gave a lapdance to a 3rd cousin.
So yeah. We're close.
