Default Attention All Shoe Lovers

hi my name is kevin (aka krazy kev) i joined this forum to obtain advice from other users. i wear womens high heels to raise money for charity. my last fundraising event was a 5 mile walk to raise money for a UK charity called HELP FOR HEROES. on this walk i wore a pair of PLEASER XTC 826 with 7.5'' heels and a 4'' platform. it was also my first time in high heels of any kind. i could not believe how easy the walk was and the fact that it only took me 3.5hrs including stopping to talk to people to explain why i had such high heels on my feet. the support i had was great.
i am now aftet advice from other users of the forum to pick a pair of heels for me so i can do a mammoth 10 MILE walk to raise money for CANCER RESEARCH. you only have to look at the picture i have posted and choose which one you like and then send me your reply. your choice does not have to be based on the fact that they will be used to walk 10 miles. just your favourite pair will do.
i will of course keep users informed of all progress.

I like the Seduce the best, but since Pleasers are more for show than for walking, maybe the Lip would be better. A little bit of cushion to protect the ball of the foot over 10 miles. Even us experienced heel wearers would hesitate to wear high platforms for so long. We call these bedroom or taxi shoes for a reason

Response so far.. Well the votes have been coming in fairly well. Just to inform you the most popular style so far in order is:
1/ LIP 109 with more than twice the votes of the next style
2/ SEDUCE 208
3/ DELIGHT 677
4/ CANDY 09
5/ KISS 209
6/ DELIGHT 609
Thanks so far for the votes but keep them coming in. i think that the top style will be a good choice if it wins as the platform is not too thick and it has a padded insole. Im not sure if they will be much easier to walk in than the XTC 826 as the rise is an extra inch.
Anyway thanks for the votes and keep them coming

OMG. My highest platform is 3 inches & they require practice or an adjustment period to wear. Even my straight 6" heels (No platform - they are 6 years old & platforms weren't as in fashion then) are easier to walk in than some of my platforms. Of course, these ones are a pretty chunky platform - but WOW. Most of us girls only wear shoes this high at home or as 'taxi shoes' (good enough to get you to & from the taxi, but you are sitting at a table the rest of the time).
