I kinda could not wait until friday to test out my new demonia boots in the outside world...
So I took a "little" walk outside today. Wasn't perfect weather but it was just spray raining a bit today. The walk was not that little even I was goind around the city for about I think 30-45 min.
Though I had quite a lot of anxiety before going out as well. So I did a anxiety special today. Scarf over the mouth, headphones on and hat.
tbh I wanted to test out the boots and the a bit warmer outfit. I never went anywhere dressed fem during winter, so I had to get a feel on what is good for this weather.
The Outfit consists of the following:
- cycling shorts (I had problems with getting abrasions in the crotch region easily when wearing tights and moving around a lot)
- fleece-layered tights for some warmth
- red tartan mini-skirt.
- long sleeved black t-Shirt
- knitted beige sweater
- "cat-ear" knitted hat
- red scarf
- and of course the Demonia Camel 300 Boots though I did put in some better insoles to make them fit slightly better
(- I specifically did not add my blister-resist-socks and went only on stockings into the boots just to see where the pain-point might arise)
Now to the walk itself:
Stairs will be the bane of my existence in these. Going up the stairs at the end of the walk was absolutely fine. But everyone who wore some heels for some time before knows. Going down stairs in heels is a challenge. I could stumbling down a set of stairs in these puppies lol. They are high and have lots of platform so going down stairs is kinda challenging.
I won't never look graceful going down stairs lol. But just take it slow and steady. But I made it unharmed. Going up stairs certainly was easier xD
Walking around in the boots was very fine tbh. The boots might get heavy with extended wear maybe.
I love how high they are though. I can't go fast in them, taking way smaller steps but it was so much fun. I could likely go through any puddles (as long as they are less than 4cm deep I guess) in these.
Walking itself was good. I strolled through different sidewalks, going up and down, crossing streets going through wonky non-flat streets. I generally felt totally fine walking the streets and sidewalks. I was having fun taking my time.
I was though kinda anxious the whole time.

(I know its unfounded but still...)
Now obviously these boots are still heels after all, so there is caveats, but I think I should manage in them quite good generally. They felt quite comfy for what they are. The wide, square toebox really helps make them comfier for sure.
Not wearing socks in them made me slide around a bit the boots (easily fixed with the blister-resist socks or socks in general).
Now there is some interesting stuff for me to take away:
- The right boot sits really well with the insole. Without socks I will certainly develop blisters over time on the ball of my foot. But I don't slide around too much in this.
- The left one is a bit more ... interesting. I slide way more in that one. Its also my longer foot of the two. I tend to hit the front of the toebox while setting my foot on the ground but only on the left.
MAybe they are too small? I will have too see. Nothing that would be unmanageable tbh (I hope). I may try lacing them again to prevent slippage maybe.
I wil just tag you as you might be interested
