Until a few days ago, I hadn't been planning to attend the Rocky Horror Show again this year. I knew it was showing this week in Oxford but I didn't know if I was free, didn't know if I really wanted to go again so soon (the 'Too much of a good thing' syndrome ) and i didn't want to spend another £30+ on the ticket plus bus, taxi, drinks, meal, programme, whatever. However!!! An 11th hour suggestion from a female friend had me impulse buying a pair of Circle tickets online & making plans to go to the final oxford show (saturday night). Fast forwarding to Saturday; I was obviously hoping to be able to wear heels but the thought of doing so in oxford city centre in broad daylight from time of arrival (6:00pm ish) to show time 2+ hours later put me in two minds. I also wasn't sure my friend was as open minded as she said she was "wear anything you want, I won't mind at all". After a nervy morning trying different heel & trouser combinations to ensure thorough heel coverage, I decided on some 4.5" stiletto ankle boots. The boots are cheapish, non leather, non branded but are surprisingly comfy & well made. I've worn them with ease at a gig previously so that took some of the wearability questions away. So, off we went and I can report that a superb evening was had. The show was absolutely great as usual ----- i cannot recommend it highly enough for a fun evening at the theatre. Walking around in Oxford before & after was icing on the cake. We stopped for a pre-show drink at Chequers (the pub) and sat in their courtyard, heels on show. Tricky cobbled alley to negotiate to & from!!! Looked in at the Wheatsheaf pub beforehand (another cobbled alley) but didn't stay in there as far too noisy . After the show, we walked a large distance to the Weatherspoons. Sat drinking and admiring the many high-heeling young women while making no attempt to hide my own (sometimes higher) heels. I tell you guys, this heeling lark is so much easier when you have a woman accompanying you. In all, a great night & something to be repeated at the earliest opportunity.

Great weekend behind! First of all, I decided to go in stealth mode, bootcut jeans with new ankle boots. But hey, 2 days in a row in heels (even not that high but still) Unfortunately I don't have any pics from the night or my outfit in general. I asked my wife to take a pic of me during the night but we both forgot whole picture taking, we had so good time that my shoes were not in mind at all... kind a good sing, it was so natural. But report... hmm, where should I start... it was evening and night with 14 women and me some in heels, nothing spectacular except my wife, she had my favorite nude calf high boots with 4" heels first we gathered to one bar/pub, where we had few beers and got to know each others. Some knew others already, but there was many new faces. Then we went to Italian restaurant where we had cabinet reserved for the dinner. At that point some had noticed my shoes, I could tell it from the quick looks down to my feet, but no one said anything, it was silent acceptance in my opinion because shoes (mine or anyone else) was not topic during whole night... ok, some were discussing about heels for few minutes but nothing major. In the restaurant our cabinet was in upstairs and stairs was wide open from the side to other restaurant and when I walked the stairs few times, I really got some long staring and looks from the people sitting towards to stairs, but I didn't hear anything said or shouted, at least when I was around. For sure I caused some discussions on the tables but why should I care? even with bootcut jeans the heels are exposed full wide when walking the stairs. After dinner we walked cross half of the town to find next bar to hop in, after awhile we found place where they had karaoke, but unfortunately list was already full so we had to skip the singing part for the night. But anyway we had good time in the bar, bar was fully crowded and I didn't notice anyone noticed my shoes. Next morning I decided to wear the boots still, so second day in a row in heels. We shortly met some of the others from last night at the city center. Still no single word from my shoes. Everyone hugged and we said goodbye, I guess next meeting is already in plans.

Thanks shyguy. I finally bought the boots in my previous posting. Went shopping with my wife and our youngest kid. I tried the boots on at the fully crowded shop, while my wife and kid was looking for kids shoes. I had some looks and grins from other guys at the store, but nothing bad or finger pointing. Very good experience, sales guy was treating me and and heel trying and buying as any other customer with any other shoes. I wore the new boots to local bar later that night, that's me singing karaoke in the bar Got looks, I think almost everyone noticed my shoes that I didn't try to hide at all, but no comments or anything, very very good experience again. Friend from previously married couple was in the bar with us, I got compliments from her for my shoes Another event, couple of weeks ago I spent half of a day in these I was in shopping mall with my wife, walked around probably couple of miles, few looks but no comments. This time I had long pants to cover almost whole heel. No pictures of that outfit, we were just wandering around and buying stuff

What a weekend! Not maybe heelwise, but wedding was just perfect. Wedding couple was so touched by the songs and the whole party was success to every minute of it. Unfortunately there was no one shooting with video camera so there is no videos to show. I didn't wear heels to wedding, even thou I was prepared with black leather ankle boots with 10 cm spike heels, but I decided not to. Next morning when we got to the hotel room of wedding couple, I put the heels on and showed them to the wedding couple and my wife, and sort of delivered the promise and dare to wear the heels for them. Other half who dared me for the heels, hugged me with tears of joy and said that she was sure that she can count on me... and for sure I will be wearing heels with them in short future, I know I have full support!

Acceptance is respecting others' opinions and choises. And in relationship respect is one of the fundamentals one should build up. You can argue and have different views of things, but as long as both have respect on each other, things will work out. My wife, well yes, she is something very special. She have never said a single word against my heel wearing. She is always very supportive, no matter where we are going or whom ever we are going to meet, she always encourages me to put heels on if I like. We love each other, we respect each other and we are honest to each other. We do have argues and we don't agree on every aspect of everything, but we still respect each others views. I told her day one when we met that I have thing for women shoes and I wear them as well, and that is something that I can't change or I can't hide, it is part of me and it won't go away even if I would like to (which I don't, also said that). And she didn't blink an eye, just said with a warm grin on her face, 'then show me you shoes man, impress me', and here we are
