Thanks Dr Shoe.

I have been wearing mine for a week now and they are great! I feel like 3" at work instead of 2" but they still look like 2". Right now (at home) I have my 3" block heels on with them in and they feel like 4"! Even had to do a walk around the house (we just got it painted) and none of the workers even noticed.

I got ambisious(sp?) and made my wife and sister-in-laws as well. My wife said they are very comfy.

How Extraordinary!

I can fully understand why various guys would want to wear hidden heels to avoid embarrassment, but I am amazed that any woman would want to do so!

I would have thought any woman wearing high heels would be proud to be doing so and would want everyone to see her heels in all their glory.
Can you explain their thinking Scotty?

Cheerfully yours, Heelfan

Hi Heelfan,

Yes I can. Since they are both short, they can look "taller" by wearing a heel and looking taller;) Plus they can reuse their current footware which doesn't have a high heel and gain some more height out of it.

Hey Bubba,

Actually I am just guessing her reasons for wanting them, I have no idea. My thing is I don't really care why, she wanted a pair and I made them. Plus it gave me a way to bring up my heel wearing to her so it all worked out. I am sure she has her reasons for wanting them :lol:

I wasn't disparaging you. I can't think of any reason a woman would want to wear them either. However, what ever works is all that counts. Glad you and your sister-in-law are getting along so well. It does make things easier.

All,

I finally got around to taking a few pictures with my new camera phone and thought I would take a few of my inserts. I appologize for the quality, but hopefully you will all get the idea.

Here is the raw product. You can see it is oval shaped and has a bevel (not sure if that is the correct name for it) cut in it. I cut this in half and then the bevelled end becomes the bottom.

Anyway, after I cut the wood in half, I trim the sides of the wood down with a knife until it fits inside my shoe. I then turn the wood so the bevelled part is on the bottom and the round part is in the back. Then using a wood file, I file down the flat part until I have a comfortable angle or wedge. Once I get it shaped just right, I get soft inserts and cover the wood and then cover the entire then with a nylon sock. Sorry I don't have the intermediate steps photographed, if I make another I will take a more step by step picture, but here is the finished insert:

And the final picture shows how the insert fits into my shoe. Actually it's pretty comfortable!

I hope the pics help somewhat. Please feel free to shoot me any questions.
