    I don't recall any interest in heels when I was young or that much interest in footwear in general, other than a general feeling of being left out because girls could wear interesting boots and boys could not. Then, as now it seemed unfair. It was a fetish thing or an obsession, just a fashionable wistfulness that manifested itself in the autumn when new boot styles would appear in the high street shop windows and I would realise, ruefully, that all of them were 'forbidden' to me.

    Although there is much talk of genderless play and toys these days, nearly all of that is about making certain that girls do not feel obligated to stick to pink and girly toys, but feel free to explore their inner selves. Boys are still overwhelmingly directed to boys toys.    

    so true.....

    First I would like to say hi to all. I have just recently joined this forum.

     

    For Nigel, can I assume that you are not a heel wearer yourself?

     

    I have been a heel wearer since about 7 years old when my sisters friend asked me to wear hers...thats when it all started.

     

    Anyway it's a long story and I won't go into it now, but I'm married and my wife knew about my heeling way before we were married and at that time she was cool with it. Then 6 years ago my son arrives and everything was forced to stop. (Still in secret though:wink: ).

     

    Just a few weeks ago my wife caught him wearing a pair of her shoes. She freaked out and made comments like, "Jesus it must run in the family".

     

    I think that it's just a natural curiosity that kidds have. Some however, like most in this forum don't stop. I wouldn't worry too much about it. It could be just a phase he's going through. If it's not, then it's no big deal.

    I think you are correct indeed....Don't make a big deal of it for sure....You don't want the boy feeling shameful...I truly believe most boys/men have an interest in heels, we just have fewer inhibitions when we are young, society hasn't cast its stupid spell on us yet...

    Thanks for your kind words Freddy. If I don't feel 60, so why should I look 60? I bought my first ever pair of running shoes the other day to keep up with our stupid dog. I feel that walking in heels has really helped my leg muscles because I can run 1.5 k with out stopping, which is probably a first for me as I have never been into running. I still weight 67kg, not carrying to much weight helps too

    Good for you buddy, you sure don't look 60 years of age, have fun buddy

    The most awesome walk i have ever taken was today in my new stiletto heeled low cut ankle boots, i had just stepped out when i met a young women wearing 5" wedge heels and had legs up to her armpits. She loved to see men wearing heels, so after i offered her a smoke we walked together to her destination which was close to where i was going. It was so awesome walking with someone with so much in common. Both of us walked about the same speed and just chtted along the way. I wasnt even aware of my surroundings as i still tend to be keeping an eye out for anyone taking undue attention, not that that really happens, as i am sure more would have been looking at her rather than at me

    Damn, what a great experience for sure.....I am always hoping someone will ask me for a cig while I'm out in my boots, that helps lead into discussion and compliments....

    Well, I did it. Brent Cross in stilettos. I then had a walk in Stanmore, through a supermarket to the high street, then along the high street, bought some fish and chips and walked back to the car park. I then took the food into a park and sat on a bench, as per the picture here, with heels in full view to several passers by. What's the matter with people? I'm sure a lot of people noticed, but I got no reaction at all. What have I got to do to get people talking to me about them? ;-)

    Those boots are beautiful...Good for you having the courage to get out publicly in them, didn't it feel great?  I understand how you feel, I always hope for positive comments, have only gotten a few though...Most folks do notice, but would feel impolite or uneasy approaching and complimenting

    I think it's Melbourne based on the facebook posters profile.
    I should point out that the video is not mine, nor do I know the subject or the commentator.
    The commentator doesn't seem to approve, but many in todays West would simply shake their head and walk on, and some would be supportive.

    I have said before that what people wear and how they present themselves is up to them. People should be free to do and say what they wish so long as they don't infringe the rights and freedoms of others. However, society does have expectations, and if you push outside the envelope tooooo far, there are those who will take it upon themselves to push back.
    Society's norms change slowly, and I would argue that those who push the envelope are the main agent for change. the less stout of heart follow after?

    This young fellow is apparently attending a pride march.
    If 10% of western populations are gay, bi, or LGBT of some sort, you could argue that his outfit is really the male equivalent of a girl in hot pants or a mini?
    Having said that, I think the outfit is more appropriately clubwear than streetwear.

    So outfit critique, clothes and heels. Over to you.

     

    Well said buddy

    There is only the one, and he's 13. Lovely boy. We hope he stays that way....

    He would certainly know about the 'heels' and Mrs Freddy. There was a time when her family and friends expected her to appear in very high heels every time they met her. (I may have had some influence there...) Been a little while since that was the case, but her shoe collection is still 'Legend'. While my heels are not left out for him (or anyone else) to stumble over, an inquisitive person (he is) might not have found it too difficult to find the rack with my shoes and boots on. If he had suspicions, he might ask. Since he hasn't asked, I have to assume he doesn't 'know'. I'd like to tell him, but it might create some 'influence' (normalisation) and that could draw him down a route he might otherwise not take. 

    My concern, is this: If he knows men wear heels, he will try them on (his mothers.) If on trying them he both likes/enjoys them, that will never change. (Experience tells me.) That could in turn, lead him along the same line of 'interest' I have had for the wrong side of 50 years. I found a way to make it a pleasure for me for all that time, but it was a challenge to make it a pleasure. I was brought up in challenging times, so it wasn't something I felt was a hardship, as with everything else, you just 'got on with it'.

    Our current youth don't have this sort of environment (school of hard knocks) to toughen them up to the challenges they will experience in their lives. They are (frankly) soft of mind and body compared to those of the late 50's and 60's. Back then, people were still going hungry. Still struggling to own a car. Using a phone meant walking to a street corner to use a public phone. TelevI isions were often rented not owned. Dirty work often killed parents prematurely.

    So my concern is: My influence might lead a 'soft' (malleable) mind toward a path they ultimately struggle to cope with. If it (the mind) gets there without influence, then 'fate' (or DNA) is responsible, not me. If it (the mind) does get there, I can offer support and experience, provided either would be welcome. (As with all young people, they all know everything, so are usually unwilling to take guidance.) 

    Why am I so sure this situation is a prospect? He is considered to be quite a 'genteel' lad. Not interested in sport because he is tall and slight, lacking 'strength' but is a very bright lad. Has more girlfriends than 'mates', though he does have mates too. In many respects, he has quite a worldly head on his shoulders. He has the intellect to cope with unusual situations, but I don't know he (yet) has (or will ever have) the strength of character to walk away from temptation ~ even when knowing there could be a precipice somewhere along the route. Coming full circle, my own experience suggests that's a challenge my family are not well equipped to deal with. I might have been in my mid-thirties before I realised I could be my own person. That's too late for some.  

    Well, I truly admire your concern for your grandson's well being and emotional health.  This is a tough situation for sure.  But, I feel that if your Grandson has a possible interest in heels, he will discover them sooner or later, even without knowing you enjoy wearing them.  So, perhaps it is  better to talk with him now, kind of "feel him out" on his opinion of you wearing heels.  It surely sounds like your Grandson has been raised correctly and would accept your heeling fully, even if he is not interested in wearing them.  But, in case he is/might be interested in wearing heels, perhaps you can help him by exposing him to your heels now, so this will help him to feel that it is "OK", and he will be accepted and encouraged by family members.  I spent so many years trying to "hide from myself", crippling myself with self hatred, I just hope I meet a young guy someday that I can help avoid wasting so many valuable years. 

    You are not exposing your Grandson to anything "bad", you would not be giving him his first cigarette or beer.  I know that you only want the best for him though, and I respect you greatly for that....Don

    To be honest Mr Fred I have two grandkids, a girl of the age 11, and a boy 7 and to be honest I have worn my heels every time I take them to the shops to buy sweets etc, and to be honest they have never noticed or said anything, but saying that granddaughter did say something about 4 years ago, why are you wearing nannys boots, but that was it, nothing since.

    Great job DWW, kids are more durable than we believe.  It is best to expose them to your heels when they are very young.  Like you say, they will ask a few questions but that is fine.  They will grow up knowing that men in heels is perfectly normal, and won't be bothered by any other kid's  (or stupid adult) comments..........

    Well, a first for me this morning... Our number two son turned up last night, about two hours before we expected him, and I took my heels off quick. (The same son I mentioned in an earlier post.) This morning I was determined his presence wouldn't make any difference to our household arrangements, so I put my 'work' heels on before leaving the house. I'm almost sure he saw them - he probably noticed my difference in height, if nothing else. He didn't comment, though. I'll be interested to see if there are any repercussions - I don't think he'd mention it on Facebook...!

    Of course you are joking about your son posting on facebook...

    I'm thinking your kids are aware you wear heels and are OK with it, they just don't bring it up....


  10. Well, I like the way I look in high heel boots and jeans as well, somewhat due to being taller and making my butt look better.  But, I have always been interested in, and attracted to boots ever since I was a kid.  I think this look can be very powerful on guys who can pull it off.

    Just have your wife to take som pics of you wearing heels and dont check her facebook albums...!

    Yesterday I checked my wifes facebook photoalbums...and I found a picture of myself wearing my 5" heeled boots...

     

    JIPPI!!!.. I think.. :P

    Anyone have a good explanation I can use if anyone ask WHY?

    Like everyone says, your wife is obviously comfortable with your love of heels, and must think you look good in them, she wants to show you off!  I realize she may have overstepped a bit by posting pictures online, but I believe she is just trying to help you "out of your shell" so you will feel more comfortable in heels publicly and with friends/relatives.  The wife's intention are good, and I'm hoping her public prodding will have an overall positive result for you.  You are actually a lucky guy, wish my better half accepted/liked my love of high heel boots.

  12. Welcome here buddy, I too am particularly fond of tall boots with high heels, usually wear my boots with jeans/leather jacket/gloves.  I am always looking to meet up with like minded bootbuds, travel the US extensively.
