Some months ago I attended a work related class in Lorain County near Cleveland Ohio. My lodging was a courtyard style motel where each building has 4 suites. I wore a pair of thigh boots with 4" stiletto heels all the time except when I was in class. This included checking in and out, breakfast in the motel dining area, and going out to dinner several times.

While I was there I went to the Cleveland Museum of Art. I have found that the museum crowd has a very broad range of what they will accept. I was wearing a sleeveless turtle neck, light colored slacks, black blazer and boots. The museum guards noticed me (as they should) but hardly anyone else gave any reaction. One guard (female) walked up to me and said “I really love your boots”. I thanked her for the comment but there wasn’t an opportunity for other conversation. I spent a long time standing in front on one of my favorite paintings in the collection, Isabella Brant by Peter Paul Rubens.

Wow, could that guy paint. The image on the link doesn’t do the painting justice.

Other than a minor slip on the polished stone floor where a heel went to one side

(I took it in stride [sorry about the pun]), the museum visit was great.

For dinner I went to a Max & Ermas (family style chain). The hostess seated me at a booth and I had dinner. I asked the waitress if the boots were too much and she sat down in a chair at a table next to the booth looked at the boots and heel and said, “Well, if you can walk in them…”. I said, “That’s not a problem and they are very comfortable”. She said, “The people out here in the county (Lorain) are very accepting on all life styles and I shouldn’t have any problems”.

The breakfast at the motel was buffet style so I was walking back and forth across the dining area several times to get my food. I was wearing a long sleeved turtle neck, jeans and thigh boots with 4” heels. There was a family with children there and I try to avoid being around children, in case the parents object, so I took a table across the room from them and had my breakfast.

I had a great time on the trip.
