Waht is great though is the outfit was warm enough for the weather. I was kinda sweaty at home though. Might be because I begin catching a cold.

I do really hope I can go somewhere in these this weekend. I planned to visit a queer-cafe in Freiburg on friday and then go to the CSD in Emmendingen on Saturday.

Though I do feel like I am catching a cold right now... (like fucking always when I actually want to go somewhere.... I hate my body sometimes in winter)

I really hope to feel better quick. Though i might skip the cafe in friday and aim to go only to the CSD in saturday...

urgh

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 @Nukumori @alexseifert @ritahayuni @guyinaskirt

@hoshi die sind auf Fälle süß

@hoshi Sinds echt schon so viele? Wow krass. Ich muss leider auch zugeben dass ich die Comics doch gerne mal verpasse

Auch wenn mein heutiger Comic eher unbeachtet blieb bisher, möchte ich dennoch das "Tomato Friends" Jubiläum nicht unerwähnt lassen. Mit dem heutigen Comic haben wir sage und schreibe 500 (!!!) Comics erreicht! 😳 Könnt ihr das glauben? Ich bin selbst sprachlos. Ich danke allen, die die Geschichten der Tomaten mit Favs und Teilen belohnen. 🤗 Ich freu mich, wenn ich wenigstens ein paar Leuten damit eine Freude machen kann. Auf weitere 500 Comics! Ich hoffe auch künftig auf eure Unterstützung! 🥺 😉

@3psboyd he is not mad at you for sucking at the game. He is just very dissapointed...

Im sächsischen Neschwitz stand nur ein Kandidat auf dem Zettel zur Bürgermeisterwahl – ein AfD-Sympathisant. Und er konnte nicht gewinnen. Wie demokratischer Widerstand auch aussehen kann. https://www.volksverpetzer.de/aktuelles/neschwitz-verliert-wahl/?utm_source=mstdn

@jsstaedtler @feff both of you can have an emotional support blahaj (sadly I dont have an emote for that one on this yet so please imagine)

@rick henlo rick

@Erpel did you hire fedizens?

every time i come home she just sits there and stares at me like she's never seen a human person before in her life and she can't process what she's looking at

@puniko @foxhkron Das man überhaupt so richtig Linke einläd ist ja schon ein halbes Weltwunder tbh

@Baa and yet the people doing the hammering and stuff need functioning computers to do their jobs and get paid as well.

Sure you may do all the stuff of say accounting manually but thats not feasable. Especially when it its into your time where could make money instead.

You are also doing real work. Maybe just not as tangable as handicrafts

@NeonPurpleStar Henlo enjoy your cofe

@rick Soo... Wero Install when?

I am on the fence about Wero but lots of shops don't take it and it requires the use of an App seemingly. Which I don't really want to use on a rooted android

@alexseifert I mean I did run around in like 6 or 7.5cm heels already on some occasions. You do learn stuff as time goes on for sure.

I was mostly quite lucky when it comes to blisters. Though being prepared is always a good idea. ^^'

Stopping your feet from sliding around in the shoes does help prevent blisters quite good. Its also a reason I love Heels which you can really secure with laces.

When I was in Utrecht with a friend I went out in some nice blocky heels with only pantyhose on and then the heels. We walked like I think 1km from the hotel to the station.

I noticed there I will certainly be problems like that down the line. So went into a primark and I found some "Blister Resist Socks". Basically some thicker like 2 layered socks. They worked well. Though you really need space for them in the shoes. Which I had.

I then spend most of the day running around in heels through the city. Though before dinner I did change into sneakers just to prevent bad stuff lol. I enjoyed that day so much. Meeting friends, talking, having fun. Looking at myself in all the shop-windows. I was so cute!

@NeonPurpleStar I know that feeling

@grillchen enjoy! but do not zirp to loudly!

@alexseifert The big plan was to wear them to a con next year with that skirt I am making atm. So if I can manage CSD in them the event might be doable (maybe since cons require lots more walking) But I will have tested them on cobblestone as well after this weekend
