    Someone I work with from time to time, was requested by myself recently, (while at work), if she would ask one of our customers where the customer had bought her shoes.

    My colleagues immediate response was "You want a pair then?" before going off to enquire.

    I had thought that perhaps I was more transparent than I believed until last weekend, when I found out my colleague used to help run a lap-dancing club (in her younger days :cool:). Maybe there's something 'about me' she recognises? :o

    There's been no confession from me yet ..... but I've no inclination to lie. If I ever get asked, I'll report back here. :lol:

    I went to the 2007 heel meet and meet loads of people, was a really good day, 2009 was not as good even got a parking ticket, as you do in London. For me I normally keep a pair of ankle boots in the van, as and when I feel pull into a car park put my heels on and have a wander around, any town or village I feel like, you know look in a few shops go to cashpoint machine, go to the chippy, wander back to the van, and at the end of the day (pardon the pun) feel great I have done what I wanted got my fix and away home, must admit I have had a few comments nothing nasty, but to me well worth it. I will be the first to admit it is comments on this site and hh place which have helped me, and given me courage to wear my heels out and about with out thinking about it.

    You didn't park in the Multi-Storey car park, right next door to the pub?

    I too found the posts on the various sites useful and encouraging. Without them, I doubt I would be as adventurous as I am. I try to encourage others to 'join in', but have had limited success. Whereas I don't usually experience the concept of shyness, others must have a much better understanding of the handicap...... sadly. :cool:

    Since I travel around a fair bit, I find myself located somewhere people don't know me fairly frequently. As a general remark, I'm not too bothered these days by being 'made', but people laughing is likely to be a bit hurtful. Fortunately, shock has quite a numbing effect on spectators, so as long as I'm moving there's precious little time for people to comment. :o

    So I have to post five messages to have my name on the members list huh? Well personally I don't expect a huge amount of activity but hay who knows.

    5 posts in, you must be on the Members List now?

    Welcome! :lol:

    I went to the heel meet in 2008, and enjoyed the experience.

    Had a number of meets with other men heel wearers through 2008, but have been out in public more with girls, than I have done with other fellas.

    While I tend to be indifferent to what anyone else in the world wears provided it's in good taste, I doubt I would be comfortable walking around in public with 15-20 other men wearing high heels. While (discreetly) wearing heels with another couple of men doing the same seems attractive, being part of what might appear to be a protest group, does not. :lol:

    I own a ridiculous amount of black ankle or calf length boots with heels 4-5 inches high. There are few pairs I don't expect to wear outside eventually. My problem is making the time .... :cool:

    I won the auction for the boots. At the first bid price too.

    Any news? :lol:

    Went to Westfield again tonight. Wore my HD boots, rather than the 'Garage Shoes' boots. :cool:

    Took advantage of the 2 hour free (car) parking again, so had to get around a bit quickly. Have decided it's not a great place to find attractive shoes for men [meaning larger sizes] at reasonable prices [meaning 'in the sales'.]

    London's newest shopping experience.

    http://uk.westfield.com/london/

    I live less than 20 miles from this place, but it's located at a fairly difficult place to get to by car. I would travel there by public transport [rail/undrground] but the 2012 Olympic surcharge on London travel makes an expensive journey extremely unattractive.

    With a need to make a delivery in South London, I was practically driving past the front door during the evening last Friday, it made sense to stop by while someone else was paying for the journey.

    I arrived at 8pm, expecting an hours visit as I thought the centre closed at 9, with car parking at

    I recently bought some brand new cheapies off Evilbay too, but they weren't high high heels, just a bit higher than average mens shoes (just under 2 inches as I just measured them). Those my wife let me wear to MK cinema with her recently. But they do look pretty masculine, and quiet lol.

    2 inches is good. :cool:

    I'm pleased (really pleased) you got to go out in them. :lol:

    ..... in general society for the time being heels=feminine and a man in them is seen as less than 100% masculine.

    But cowboy boots somehow add masculinity even with a heel.

    Funnily I have just had a short debate with my wife over heels again, as we decided to clear out under the bed and every pair of my heeled shoes/boots got an "eurgh". She said I was going all feminine on her again. That's the general opinion as far as I can tell. People may tolerate men in heels, but they will think it's less masculine.

    Rather sadly, I expect that was a Royal "we"? I've got gazillions of lovely boots and shoes, many more than I could ever wear. At least 5 types I've 3 or more identical pairs. My wife isn't happy about it, but I'm reasonably confident she'd rather I was buying shoes than spending money on drink, women, or drugs. She doesn't expect me to be perfect (which is a good job).

    Only last night I wore my Harley Davidson 'Harness' boots (like cowboy boots) to the cinema at Stevenage. [i also wore some slightly flared trousers I really like, from M+S.] Think I'm the only person who noticed anything, and what I noticed was how reluctant I was to go into the Mens loos with noisey heeled boots. As is often ~ though not always the case, us men wearing heels are our own only real barrier to what we want to enjoy?

    I wonder how many heels have been purchased, collected and thrown away because wives said "get them out of here!" As we all know, the desire doesn't go away. It can go into hiding for a while but it returns with a vengeance -- and a new collection of heels is purchased.

    Back to the original question: "Is this place dying?" I have opined earlier that it was just getting started, only the startup was going slowly. Basically, that's still the case -- it is difficult to get traction and build up momentum.

    HHplace casts such a huge shadow -- there is so much activity there that so many of us barely remember this site exists. Unfortunately I do not know how to change this situation.

    Traffic.

    People don't visit empty places. More posts, and more importantly interesting posts, will generate an increase in visitors. That and not limiting the site to a single theme. Obsessives are the only characters who can stomache a single subject lifestyle. [Elvis Presley fans spring to mind. :o]

    More rounded individuals, those most of us prefer to associate with, will also prefer to converse with people with a variety of interests.

    The only time I have seen it said that "they are just shoes" was in the mens forum at HHPlace

    The "they are just shoes" originated, I think, from Jenny on the original site, spelled "shooz." I have also seen it somewhere else, but don't remember when.

    Clothes, our own personal styles (restricted by our physical size and attributes) are a reflection of our personalities. Anyone who thinks/says "they are only shoes" understands nothing of fashion, nor culture.

    How many Hells Angel friends do have? How many Skinhead friends? How many Punk Rocker friends? None, and it's because I've no association with these styles. In fact for the most part, I find them wholly unattractive.

    A man wearing high heeled shoes or boots, is making a statement. It may be a statement that many don't like, and some won't accept. But a statement it is.... As is involving ourselves in other style statement, like those listed above.

    Uy, I watched the whole series of 'Allo 'Allo.

    Please don't be offended, but on a scale of 1 to 10 of "sad", watching such an old series with all that pantomime grade acting, must put it somewhere in a low 12 or at least high 11. :o:lol:

    Love the waitress though. [Renee's girlfriend?]

    I'm out of control.

    I like the Jessica (Rabbit) Simpson boots so much, I've bought a second pair. Too late to get the slightly large 10's from Overstocker.com, I went to Street Moda, and bought a 9.5 in the same style. These will doubtless be a bit snug on the toes, but the boot leather is so soft, I'm sure I won't notice.

    A bit of a tongue in cheek response from me .... But do you mean ....

    A place where MEN can be REAL men? :o

    I think I understand what you mean. But I just can't (myself) seem to separate high heels from femininity. Some of that, has me not wanting to I suppose.

    One of the interesting questions I saw posed on HHplace, was; "Do you want to wear girls shoes, or do you want to wear high heels?"

    I recognised many who were interested in the more feminine footwear styles, wanting to wear very girlie types, whereas I just wanted the heels. [And as close to 5" as I could get away with, the better.] Not that I had a problem with anyone wearing strappy sandals ...... as long as 'the look' indicated good taste with the rest of their attire.

    Is it possible [serious note this] for a man to wear high heels, and anyone other than himself see him, as 100% male? I fancy not, but it would make an interesting debating point.

    Ahhhh!

    What do you think?

    I think it's a great idea. And for starters ....

    Oxford Street frequently on a Thursday evening [3 of last 4]. Sometimes Brent Cross.

    Sundays, Camden, or Oxford Street.

    There is a Restaurant around the corner from Oxford Circus I've been to a coiple of times now. Very inexpensive, huge portions. Helpful, pretty girls serving. They MUST know I wear heels. Will be there again soon.

    Anyone going to Westfield? :lol: I still haven't been..... :o

    In order to progress, manufacturers need to see a demand. A major chain shop like Russel & Bromley - high end admittedly but nevertheless high street - have a 2" cuban heeled mens ankle boot available and that is good news. Also there is a trend to make mens shoes more sleek and thankfully lighter. Drawing no doubt from the female styling.

    Simon.

    Wise words indeed.

    I hope you are keeping well. :o

    I don't know I would go so far as describe it as "what she would like to see me wear", but my wife certainly knows what styles I'm going to like. Higher the better, and suitable for street use.... So no 5" stilletoes. :o

    But 4 1/2" block-heeled ankle boots, well ..... :lol:

    I doubt she would go out and buy them for me, but I've had the offer from her to pay for a couple of pairs I really wanted, and were a bit expensive.
