I'm glad you had a positive experience with your sisters! Overcoming that percieved "barrier" must have given you more confidence!

I can only wish my partner could contribute here...Unfortunately, he has no tolerance for my hiheeled cowboy boots, much less my Jessica Simpson boots...

Wish I had great legs like yours, then I would love to be locked in those heels

Definitely not Nick's first time in heels...It's nice that he has a girl friend who appreciates how nice he looks....

My first experience was when I was quite young...My sister had a pair of red go go boots...Couldn't wait to be alone at home, so I could wear them..It's been boot love ever since...

I finally got a pair of Jessica Simpson boots! There is a guy who wears them on Youtube that turned me on to the brand... http://www.ebay.com/itm/Jessica-Simpson-NEW-Anne-Black-Leather-Platform-Over-The-Knee-Boots-Shoes-11-/350655617474?_trksid=p2047675.l2557&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&nma=true&si=km4sFmEH%2B6UldwS1lxMRM0cXRh4%3D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc All leather, substantial/sturdy 5" heels, great looking, and super easy to walk in... Can't wait to wear them to the hotel bar tonight!

Great job! I like the tall boots, or the cowboy boots! I applaud your resolve to "push on" in spite of some less than positive reactions. As for the wonderful sales clerk, write a note to her boss so she will know that her great people skills are appreciated. I had a similarly positive experience at Payless, I had ordered the boots online and was to pick them up in this store...Seems like their computer system is fouled up and got the size all wrong...The sales girl was happy to spend a little time with me and help find an alternative, but all too small... As for the rude middle eastern woman, she was probably just jealous cuz you looked so good in the boots!

Both pairs are great...Give yourself some credit for trying the boots on in the store in front of another customer!! Did she say anything to you while you were trying them on?? Don

Well, the heels were pretty well covered by my uniform pants...I will compliment myself when I can wear my boots under tight levis with most of the heels showing! Thanks for the encouragement...D

Jinx- Just wanted to thank you for all your encouragement....You are so fortunate to have such an accepting wife, but I realize that you know that already... I slipped into my 5" calf boots for the ride home from the airport/work...I do NOT like the way my boots look with my uniform pants, but wore them anyway so I could enjoy driving in them...Stopped for gas, first I heard one fellow that seemed to be asking me a question as he walked closer...I stood my ground, didn't flinch or get nervous, he was simply asking about the location of the local police station... As I was finishing up fueling, another guy walked up to me that was asking some question! He was asking about directions to a highway, told him I was headed on that exact route and to follow me...Again, wasn't nervous, and stood my ground without retreating! What a great feeling! Secretly wondered if either of these two guys had noticed my boots...I wished I was wearing my jeans, because I don't like the way my uniform pants look over my boots... But, nonetheless, a successful experience....Thanks for all your support! "Baby steps" for me I guess, but progress....D

Sounds like fun, good for you!!

Those boots look GREAT....Perfect for all around wear. A nice compromise between the killer stilettos you may really want to wear and not wearing boots at all. Those boots will look fine under a pair of jeans allowing you to go most anywhere without attracting unwanted attention. I'm sorry to hear about the wife, I have the same problem with my partner. I also know there is no way I can deny my love of boots.
