I've only tried women's jeans once, I think they made my ass look great!

Sorry

Don't be, your entitled to your opinion

Finally extracted the pictures from my phone... Here are one pair of the heels I tried.

Quite a story! Must have quite a sight as well. Kudos to you Eoneleg! You also seem to have good group of friends.

Crutches and one foot in heels must be hard.

Thanks for sharing.

My No.1 and No.2 heeling fears wrapped up in one situation. Potentially abusive teenagers and video/pictures published on the Internet.

Indeed, cell phones with cameras are everywhere now.

You must have some considerable will-power. Finding myself in an identical situation, I'd have left the store $25 poorer and one pair of shoes richer.

The only thing that stopped is my wife.

Great report.

Very interesting read.

Doing me best to share my experience. Glad you liked it.

Aren't these great? I'd love to have them!

Walmart is a big department store with really good prices. Just for kicks I decided to go have a look. I saw a pair of peep toes 5 inches heels that seemed nice. I was also able to find a size 10. Tried them on right there, with an older in the alley. I know she gave a glance but nothing else. The shoes weren't too bad and comfortable. I also have pictures but didn't extract them yet.

In the next alley were the boots. A nice over the knee suede like black boot with about a 3 inch heel. Also found a size 10 (and an 11). I was able to get the left foot on but for some reason the right foot was too tight. Should've tried the 11 after all. As I removed the boots, I saw another model of black, about 4 and a half inches sandals. As I put them on, a young mother and her daughter came in my alley. I was nervous but continued to put the sandals and took a few steps. These were not that comfortable. The mom gave a few discreet glimpses as she passed by me but no idea about the girl as she was behind me when I walked in the shoes.

Finally, I tried another model, no pics though, that was really pleasing to my eyes. an open toe with kind of a strappy-mesh like pattern. These were very nice and comfortable. Just as I removed them a group of 3 teenage girls came in my alley. They didn't see. Not sure of teenage girls reaction plus they all had their cell phone. I wouldn't want pictures of me in heels on the web, at least ones where I can be recognized.

I didn't buy anything but the price would have been right. 25$ for the last pair. Maybe someday...

40$ USD for the Mercy on Beyond The Rack.

In what type of work environment do you work? I'm curious as there are no opporturnities here to work in a skirt for a guy.

In the UK, 'students' [18 to 21 year olds at University] have something of a reputation for spending as much time drinking and socialising, as they might spend studying..... Over here, you'd be getting plenty of 'me' time .....

Maybe be an unrealistic notion, but it could be an incentive to travel out in moderate height heels, that might be something sensible your wife owns? Just a thought.

....

I wish I had the courage to take walk outside in heels but we're in a pretty tight neighbourhood and it would spread like fire. I'm more afraid of the repercussion on my wife than myself actually, I could not do this without having my wife's consent.

I wouldn't mind so much walking around in another city though, but the opportunities are very rare. And when I'm out of town, it's for the job and usually don't have lots of spare time.

Although its been running for 6 months there are still only 11 voters? Slightly disappointing, because it suggests only 11 members have been outside in heels? Given how many members here really like wearing heels, it would have been more reassuring we had made some progress in our style choice if more of us had experience to report.....

It is an interesting poll that continues to get votes cast. With a trend that so far shows mostly a positive response.

....

It's a pretty quiet forum, the most active member is you FastFreddy2. At least from what I can see from the time I've been here. I cannot say I've been out in public. I've tried heels in a few stores (Aldo, Globo Shoes, Yellow) and in adult shops. Otherwise, the most public I've been is wearing my wife sandals to take out the trash

Unless I misunderstand ...... My calendar says there's another 3 months left of this year? You won't get any 'alone time' for over 3 months?

'Blige, that's a long time without something you like (and doesn't do you any harm).... Though those 6" high sandals look pretty dangerous.

I hope I have this wrong?

Nope you read that right. We'll be hosting a student starting this week so that's why I won't have "me" time.

Glad you had a good time Freddy. Thanks for sharing.

Yeah, my comment contradicted itself... Sorry about that.

I was just imagining, maybe hoping, you were more comfortable with being in public... I guess I also got the wrong impression that London was more "tolerant" to out of norm behavior. Here's as well, in Canada, for a guy to wear heels in public is most likely interpreted as gay.

I have no issues trying heels in the middle of the store in an adult store. But in a shoe store, I'm certainly more nervous.

I like the shoes. Why do you say though "if I hold my nerves"?

And as for security, if you go out in public, you'll be seen of course. Why would security be more of a concern than any other one?

Now, I can certainly understand part of the excitement because I cannot be in public in heels and it would be nerve wracking for me for the first attempts at least. Yesterday I went to a cheap shoe store and tried some half calf boots. When people came in I became very nervous. They were nice and at 40$ not too expensive but since they'd be hidden in a closet...

Another hour today, but it'll be the last one when I'll be alone until next year... Anyway, here's a few more pictures, but these are my wife, we have about half a size difference. Didn't wear them long to not stretch them but I couldn't resist

and currently, I'm wearing these:

My wife threw them away but I kept them. Not sure she knows that though...

I prefer style 1 and Dorothy Perkins boots as well. I don't like wedges at all. Personal opinion

I went to an ALDO store not too long ago. The store was almost empty, only two clerks. I spotted the sale rack and asked if they had any in my size. She looked up the computer and then went to fetch them. Tried them on right there. The two girls looked but didn't offer any help. Didn't buy them as they were still too expensive.

Thanks.

It does feel a bit weird to cook and be 6 inches higher than usual

Had about an hour of free (alone) time today. Decided to put my favorite shoes while I cooked dinner. Felt great!!

new votes are similar to a new post.

Do you wear your heels in the house, or do you wear them out?

Never out, my wife would not allow it. In the house I wear sometimes plain sandals and my wife asks me to to put her new shoes to stretch them out a bit. But it remains a very short period. When I'm home alone, I try to put on heels but with my other interest (wood working) it's not very pratical.

Hello Ludovic, and welcome.

Do you have a preferred style? Shoes, boots, or sandals perhaps?

Tough questions. I have a pair of 5 inch sandals and a pair of thigh high boots. I currently would have a big interest for ankle boots.

Thanks for the welcome. I'm in my late 30's, I love heels, both looking at women wearing them and wear them myself although it doesn't happen very often. My wife knows I like to wear them and we are almost the same shoe size. I love to go in stores and try on a pair or two. Always a thrill.
