D'you know, I never dream that I'm wearing heels, even when I've slept in them .... :grin: [Only slept in them 3 times though.]

....

Let me be the first to welcome you to the site. :cool:

24 years old and into wearing heels? Jeez, how lucky are you? :grin:

I hope not, this site is much more where I'm at than HHPlace where it's still got too many references to crossdressing and TV stuff.

I'll have to be careful with my comments then. :cool: ;-)

I make no secret to wearing womens jeans as these come in better fitting materials (read stretchy) and longer leg lengths. [32W 34L.] Primark are starting to do mens jeans in these sizes, and I already have 4 pairs!

Some tops that I wear as base layers, are also only available in womens styles. [Read long-sleeved T-shirts, or collarless polo shirts? :grin: But nothing with a scalloped neck! :-o]

And lastly, some of my boots are so 'snug' on my feet, there's only room for hose, rather than sock.

I suppose that makes me a cross-dresser, but I always look like a man, and dress in a manly style. No coloured bangles or lipstick either.

I accept the comment about 3 members visiting. But while here yesterday, I noticed there were a larger number of guests viewing the site, and I'm sure they wouldn't have all been Search Engine robots listing content.

It's a Catch 22 situation really. Visitors come to see new posts. If there's nothing new to read, then people don't bother visiting. When I visit, I try to post something, even if it's only where/when I'm wearing heels in public next and can be met by other men in heels.

Successful sites, like Rome, aren't built overnight. There's been a significant increase in the membership recently. [Trebled in size.] With 4 or 5 motivated contributors each making (say) 3 posts a day, there'd be 12 to 15 posts to read most days. I'm sure when the less verbose get used to visiting and reading, they too might start to contribute....

So what makes 'entertaining' posts to high heelers?

Since we live in a visual society, anything with pictures will be welcome.

The history of any two people will not be identical, so these unique sequences will be of interest. If not to everyone one of us, then maybe to spouses trying to understand the 'how and why' of our interest.

Daily/weekly incidents/experiences. A kind of mini-blog perhaps?

Where to buy, what to buy, special deals on offer. Reminders of short term sales from large stores, or the odd pair of interesting shoes/boots/sandals on auction sites. Links would be helpful.

Anyone? :grin:

Now beyond 160 members, and the site struggles to get one post per day? :grin:

Think I need to start a "My Shoe Collection" thread. That'll get people talking. :cool:

Beginning to look like Oxford Street this Thursday evening. :grin:

Spent the weekend working in the garden, so haven't managed to get to Primarni (Primark/Armani) to shop for long/straight/dark jeans. They have a style I like at the moment, at

She then made a condition that i had to wear womens clothing including shoes. It also had to be PINK from head to toe.

.....

i find myself being turned on. what do you think i should do?

Does your wife know you are getting turned on by wearing girls clothes?

I'm thinking that if she did, she might be less inclined to insist you dress up as a woman.

As for you enjoying it, what could (would) any of us say? .... "Don't"? ....:grin:

If you're enjoying it, the best you can hope for, is controlled (by you) indulgence. So, enjoy. :cool: ;-)

Members List is showing a grand total of only 26 !?!

Why doesn't it actually list all members (supposedly 146 as I type this)?

I think Members List might be those who have posted, as opposed to those who have registered for membership...... ?

It's an indication of how shy some of might be ..... Or how wise some might be? ~ Choosing not to write unless they have something "worth" writing.... :grin:

Looks like Camden as a starting point it is. :cool:

I maybe have tripped myself up a bit though, as I dicovered at 9.30am today I'm working tonight, so will need to be going homeward at 6pm. :-D

The job had been booked weeks ago, but I thought it was Saturday night. Turns out it's tonight AND Saturday.

If it wasn't for the fact I'll be spending the evening around 70 to 80 girls at a party of 20-30 year olds, who will doubtless be wearing high heels, I might be tempted to cancel.

But like most people, I need the money. ;-) ;-)

fastfreddy and fxhh my advice just do it the more you do the easier it is

I'm trying, but I don't do anything in a hurry .... :cool:

Symptom of my success, is some hard skin forming on the ball of my left foot. Until this appeared recently, I'd had the soft feet of a baby, all my life. :oops:

Recent conversation with a neighbour as I passed him on the way out ....

"Hey, what you got on your feet?" <pointing>

"Cowboy boots" <with 4" heels>

"Why are you wearing them?" <possibly thinking I was going line dancing :-D ;-)>

"I like them"

"Oh."

This was in full daylight around 2pm. ;-)

But which is better, HHP or H4M?

There's only one way to find out... FIGHT.....!!!!!!!

"Heels" at dawn? :-D

Does seem strange, to close parts of a Forum that were reasonably active? ..... If members of HHp were unhappy at sharing with men who had a taste for other feminine attire, why didn't those members just migrate here?

I recently had the opportunity to sleep in heels without the worry of stabbing the person I share a bed with. Dunno why I would want to sleep in heels, other than to shorten tendons, but I did try anyway. [i'm a bit wayward? ;-)]

EVERY night I tried, I woke up with a cramp in my toes.... :-D :cool:

Perhaps 15 months ago ....

While queueing at a Post Office, I was practically 'pressured' to move closer to the person in front of me, by the girl behind. Insistant I stand closer the person with a cold/flu in front, I offered her my position ~ which she took. :-D It gained her nothing, as we both got to the counter at the same time .....

About a week later, and while still in 'go out at midnight only' mode with my public heel wearing, I was out in my home town wearing some OTK boots under jeans. The noise from the heel was instantly recognisable, as was the pointed toe.

I had thus far been moderately careful to avoid contact with anyone, and leaving home at midnight must have helped. ;-) The wife thought I was behaving a bit weird, but my desire to wear heels ~ having been ignored for over 20 years ~ was almost irrepressable.

While out at what is a fairly desolate path and cycle crossing over a motorway, I approached the bridge sure I was alone. I hadn't noticed a fairly short girl, returning home from what was possibly a shift at a pub or restaurant somewhere. The concrete sides of the bridge had hidden all but her head, which due to my other preoccupation (walking in heels) I had missed. :cool:

Only 3 or 4 yards from me, I noticed her. Still as many yards from the bridge entrance, I was able to walk onto the grass verge of the path, and wait for her to pass. [The grass covered the noise of my boots.] Standing still to let the girl pass, I turned away from her. Though she hadn't recognised me, I had remembered her as being a local I met in the Post Office a week before, and I didn't want her to remember me at all. ;-)

The corner we passed at was well lit, as was the bridge and the pathway from it. I waited for her to pass, which she did, but she didn't carry on walking......

Now ... Mindful she had already shown a lack of social grace by asking me to move along a corridor at the Post Office, I shouldn't have been surprised she stopped and started to speak to me. My home town isn't an inner city, but we were 200 yards from the next/nearest person (who would have been aleep behind locked/bolted door and windows), and I'd suggest 12:15am in such an isolated spot, probably wasn't the most prudent time/place to start a conversation ~ but she did ......

Firstly, she wanted to know if I was alright, and did I need any help? No, I was fine, I just wanted to be left alone. [boy did I want to be left!] But she was worried about my proximity to the motorway, the time of day, and my wish to be alone. I assured her I was fine, and only wanted to be left in peace. Took almost ten minutes to convince her, but eventually she left.

Usually, I'm keen to promote acts of kindness, but this one embarressed me so much, it took a couple of days for me to 'fess up to my nearest and dearest. ;-)

Fortunately I've not seen her since. We are a University town, with plenty of transient habitants. Hopefully, she is/was, one of them. :oops:

Now, somewhat more experienced with street-walking around the general populace, I would just keep walking across the bridge should it happen again. [Thinking about it, late last year while out with my walking partner, it did. 4 or 5 youths walked across the bridge we were on, from the opposite direction, me with nowhere to go except forward. We passed the group, on the much smaller railway bridge, and I don't remember anyone noticing or passing comment.]

I suspect confidence is the main difference in these two situations. The first incident happened before I'd ever worn heels in daylight, and only worn them publically in Clubs or Balls some 20+ years before. While I'm still a bit self-aware at the start of every trip out in heels, I'm a lot more complacent about the reaction [when there is some], from others. While I'm fairly discreet, I do get 'made' from time to time. So far, without adverse comment. Had a passing smile once or three times, a giggle from one of two off-duty Clarins advisors browsing in the store they worked in (still in uniform), but otherwise ~ no adverse reaction at all.....

So far, so good. :cool:

so looking back at the original post a few months ago!!

it does look like this place is actually starting to grow!!

GREAT!!!!;-):-D

With membership now showing 144.

Some of that figure will be the original group of around 50-60, if I remember the figure, when I became 'active' on the board a couple of months ago.

Since that time, many more have joined, and there are new posts most days, making it worthwhile visiting. :-D

The site still hasn't developed a personality yet though ... This will need more posts from the membership. The "Hello" section is doing well, with new members giving us all some idea of how they got started with their interest in heels. Contrary to what might be believed, these always make for interesting reading.

Dunno an 'incident' [caught, nearly caught) thread somewhere, might be useful? .... Now there's a thought.

I might write up a sizing thread, comparing different sellers sizing to indicate what is likely going to fit. Almost all stores now do mail order, which is helpful, but the cost of returns is always unwelcome. Certainly with a company like ASOS, the delivery and return charges, can be all but prohibative. :cool: Getting it right first time is always best.

....

Looks like Camden it is. ;-)

"Select" currently have a PU 4 1/2" stilletoe court shoe for

Do you think full pantyhose is better then just a knee hi. I have never worn pantyhose and I am interested in the fit and feel of them..... I know they have all kinds like control top and sheer to waist.. but not sure what to get... In addition.... I like the sheen of hose that i see sometimes... guess that depends on the quality ;-)

I think it prudent that you be advised, your thread is showing signs of becoming something outside the accepted remit of the site? [For the most part ~ men wearing heels.]

But to answer your question .... :cool:

"Sandle-toe" hose doesn't have a reinforced toe, and is probably most suitable for shoes. High 'sheen' hose with body control will look something like >> this << though my feeling on this type of hose is that it isn't really suitable for men....

Experience suggests >> this << is more practical. :-D

Looks like I may be visiting London on Friday, in heels.

Subject to confirmation .....

Camden late afternoon, possibly around 5pm, with a short journey to Oxford Street for more browsing. Some inexpensive Italian food around 8 or 9pm.

Or ....

Westfield for a short walk and some food, around 6.30pm, to around 8 or 9 pm.

Will be joined I hope by one other member, and probably my (female) walking partner. :-D

I can confirm that, having met Freddy once, I wouldn't have looked twice even though I was looking for a guy wearing heels when we met up.

Yep, the green skin and second head are great distractions. :cool: :-D

Post borrowed from another Forum on this site:

Well tomorrow I am going to Huddersfield, will be there at 9 o'clock quick delivery, rest of the day will be mine, start out at about 4am, most probs a slow drive home.

Just click on the post link [arrowhead immediately to the right of the authors name] to see the original. :-D

I've a number of times found myself going to public places in heels, and would have liked to have shared the experience with other like minded people.

There are regular places I go to, mostly around London, though Lakeside (Essex) and Bluewater (Kent) are also popular.

I've started this thread as 'primer' to anyone else who might be out in heels around the UK, and would like to meet F-2-F with others who share our interest. I for one don't expect to meet others wearing their heels, especially if they are joining me at a local (to them) location. That said, what I mean is; I don't expect to meet men wearing their heels. ;-) :-D

I'm fairly discreet. I'm slim-ish, and for the most part wear long jeans/trousers over thick-ish 4" heels. Basically, I look taller than I usually do, and other than that don't look much different to when I wear flat shoes. ;-) So should I be fortunate enough to meet of you while out and about, it won't be me 'sticking out like a sore thumb'. :cool:

Huddersfield? :cool:

I think I'll start a specific thread in Chit Chat Cafe, where a last minute meet thread might be more appropriate? I certainly won't expect to be looking for it in the Website Requests Forum. :-D

now I just have to decide on what hosiery to get with them.... i don't like the bare legs with heels...

Should I get lighter colored hosiery or dark to match the heels??

As a general fashion statement, (so applies to men and women alike), the whole purpose of shoe over boot is to show some flesh. ;-) :cool: Okay, not necessarily naked flesh, but dark hose seems a bit counter to the purpose of a shoe over a boot?

Since you asked, I would suggest flesh/neutral coloured hose of good quality and low denier rating. I too would be loathe to wear any shoe without some sort of foot covering (hose/sock), so appreciate where you're coming from with your remark. I've recently acquired, some all but transparent flesh coloured "knee highs" (go to the top of my calf and no higher). Look absolutely awful on their own, but hidden under jeans, allow the wearing of pumps/court shoes with a 'naked' look, even when my ankle and foot is covered. :-D

just to say hello,

well, im a proper newbe to this sort of thing (iv never joined a forum before, at the age of 22). i decided that it would be good for me to have a chat to other peeps in the same situation, as my partner has recently told me about his shoes. as i love him dearly, (and this is unconditional) i am on track to accepting this into my day to day life, but am still a bit shocked lol!

Hope you continue to support each other, and that you can both enjoy life together regardless of footwear or any other minor matters. Thanks for joining in.

@shyguy:

You know I've said this before (once or twice) on other forums .... but, my thinking about age being pertinent to our interest ~ is this;

Around 16 years old to perhaps late 20's, younger people are not so bothered about the personal tastes of others, if they aren't 'mainstream' as most of us understand it. Meaning, were I 25 years old, and I told my 20 year old girlfriend I was interested in wearing heels, I suggest (because I can't know for sure), that there's a better than even chance this would be acceptable to her. Possibly because at that age, I would not necessarily be considered a longterm marriage (ie family) prospect....

Again, later in life maybe when closer to retirement age, to a point where age/time together has given two people both confidence in their relationship and place in life, men wearing heels may not be a complete catastrophe. Some have reported their spouses offer full support if it makes the wearer happy. And if I were to fall into a category at all, I suppose it would be this one.

Seems for most (though not all), the middle years might be the more difficult? The fear of creating the wrong impression in the immediate circle of friends/work colleagues, can be quite a threatening prospect that becomes an effective barrier to experimentation.... What say you?

@purplespirit

Welcome. :-D

Please do let us all know how you get on.

Your views, experiences and suggestions will be of interest to us all. :cool:

I only had one pair at a time and when they wore out i just bought a new one. Well now I currently own a pair of 5" pumps with ankle straps, that i like to wear around the house when I am alone.

You've a lot of self-control to own the one pair. :-D

"Hello" and welcome. :cool:

... that im starting to find out, im not alone at all and to be honest its making me feel alot more normal, like a grim weight has been lifted.

I hope my intro hasn't bored you all to death! lol i just had everything rush into my head all at once about all of my experiences. Thanks for reading! and i hope to hear from you all..

p.s - What is the average age of members on here as a guess? Just wondering if there is anybody else as young/younger than me here?

Great story. Not at all boring. I'm sure many of us here, have had similar experiences over the years. But most here are men dressing as men full-time, but have a taste for wearing heels rather than going the full 'en femme' route you have now tried. [Have you looked in at HHplace.org where it's maybe not so unusual for some of the membership to have tried crossdressing?]

Interesting remark about age, and the single (so far) response. I'd offer that historically, younger people would be out practicing whatever their interest is/was, rather than writing about it online.

More recently, with the upsurge in self-publicity [Facebook, Twitcher, Blogging,] it's maybe not so unusual for younger people to spend time sharing their personal experiences as/when they happen? I wish I had the confidence I have now, when I were younger. It may not have led to me wearing heels full-time, but certainly everyone who knows me, would know I wear heels..... And possibly everyone would have seen me wearing them, at least once.....:-D
