Bob, I now understand the context, thank you. I'd venture to suggest that getting upset about the attire worn by someone else, is an extreme response? The behaviour of someone perhaps not fully mature in their outlook...... Conversely, if I've spent

I bought some BHS 100mm heeled ankle boots off Evilbay (claimed used but looked in very good nick) for 99p plus carriage. Have quite a masculine toe box ..... I bought a pair of these: http://www.garageshoes.co.uk/scripts/prodView.asp?idproduct=2308 for

I'm up the M1 later today. How you fixed?

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

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. 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? 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! ......

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? I still haven't been.....

Bonjour, mon ami.

Lucky, lucky man.

Wise words indeed. I hope you are keeping well.

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

Told my mother some months ago. Her main comment since has been, "Why don't you wear them all the time?" Bless her. She's now (just) turned 80 years old. Past caring what the rest of the world thinks about anything.

Thanks for the suggestion. I had thought something a bit more flexible? Don't know if it's available in the US, but my thing was Evo-stick. Closest I know of that's similar to the glue used by a cobbler. An alternative might be clear silicon. Sticks and fills gaps.

A recent addition to the collection are these: http://www.shoebuy.com/pm/camut/camut280359_104100_jb2.jpg Come up about half a size larger than stated. Lovely leather, comfortable, with a well padded footbed. 8) Cost me UK

I have a pair imported from the US a year ago [Weilkin?]. REALLY comfortable. Currently have one boot in bits, as the heel got a bit loose, and started to squeak. [Which was a bit annoying, sadly.] I'm not sure how I go about glueing the bits back together? Sure, I know what glue does, but which glue? The two mating surfaces aren't matched, so something that will fill gaps would be useful.... I hope to get them fixed. They really are comfortable, wear-all-day boots.

I'm sort of 'playing' Devil's Advocate here, but the suggestion from these two remarks is that only something truly unique would be considered for this site? Is that something that exists? I can't imagine anything that could be written here, that won't have been covered/mentioned/related at HHplace? Or other unrelated sites? Even the 'critique' Forum suggested by the Admin team is covered at HHplace in many ways. As a man wearing heels, I have (for the most part) 3 or 4 interests/concerns, and these are unique to my situation (as a man wearing heels). Availability. [What/where/price.] Suitability. [Fit/function/wearability.] Compatability. [How do I blend heels with my other attire.] Opportunity. [Where to wear them, and how safe is it going to be.] I doubt these considerations are unique anywhere else? If they are, please someone, provide a link. Sure they may be covered elsewhere in general, but this site is for Men wearing high heels, where other sites are for anyone wearing heels (surely). If I have this wrong, I've completely misunderstood the purpose of a Heels for Men Forum. [And will need guidance about this.]

Well, by contributing with what I hope are interesting/stimulating posts? I'm interested in contempory Fashion, and spend a fair amount of time in stores, and on-line keeping in touch with what's available. I spend as much time as I can wearing heels, mostly in public. I suppose starting a Blog might be a useful reference to some in the UK, though I don't know if the facility here is functional. It may be that the posts aren't that useful to US members or guests because the links will doubtless be UK based [though Overstockers.com recently had me spending money with them], but I'm sure some of the UK links will be useful to UK high-heel buyers. As you know, I'm a bit of an evangelist. At some of the smaller London meets, I've played "mother-goose", (not my quote) encouraging other men to walk in public wearing their heels. I'm doubtless being a bit naive, but I don't readily see a down-side to my posting here..... But I can be a little optimistic sometimes.

That seems like a double tragedy? Not only lose your lover and companion, but someone you could share your love of heels with. I hope you find another understanding friend. [sorry for your loss too.]

The site only needs somthing interesting to get more views and more posts. Call it 'critical mass', if you will. Possibly, I have the chance to help?

Hello all. I'm posting from the UK and am very pleased to be here. I've been a member of HHplace.org for a couple of months, and been directed here to the home forum of Men Wearing Heels, a lifestyle to which I'm becoming increasingly attracted to..... :-D ...
