Well at least you may have broadened their tiny minds just a little in the short time they took an interest in something out of the norm in front of them. And as you say, no harm done to any parties, except maybe that expansion of their experiences.

Would be great to meet up with you guys some time. As busy as all of you too, so weekends are out.

You are showing your hand too early Euchrid, should have started low. They do look good Freddy, and only you can decide whether they are something you can pull off as part of your outfit. In honesty most people won't notice the zip unless they get another clue first to look at your feet. Your gait may be the clue that draws the eyes down though.

Some of the tales do seem unlikely, but who knows what's true or fantasy? As you say Freddy without knowing someone how do you tell if they are real or just someone living out a fantasy on a virtual medium. At the end of the day though the posts which have been removed are mainly those delving too far into CD/TV areas which this site is not intended for.

The first two pairs are very nice Freddy, but the last pair isn't my cup o tea. Definitely think you've been spending too much on shoes though. Might be in MK myself tomorrow not sure what time though.

Exactly what I thought, the platforms just look wrong.

Some very nice shoes you found Freddy. Like them all :cool:

Wow, that was forward of you Freddy, I hope we get another new member from your swift action. If you are that shopper, then welcome to the site.

I noticed something about noisy heels on my latest walks. When out with my wife I thought the heels were a bit loud but she didn't notice anything. I also noticed the more I tried to quieten my steps the worse they sounded. Ignoring the sound made it go away, so most of the heel noise seems to be in my own head.

Been off the heels for a while, but tonight I was back in the acceptable boots for walking the dog with my wife. Just feels good to walk with the extra height and comfort. I have noticed that the soles are wearing already, and there is a hole in the heel rubber. It's to be expected of cheap boots of course, but it'll be an achievement to wear out a pair of heels :cool:

Those look very nice, I'm more a fan of the rounded toe like these than the pointier ones you seem to favour if your other links are anything to go by.

Good find Freddy, don't know why but I do like the look of those. A bit disappointed on the lack of thick socks though lol.

Thick waterproof socks if the current weather keeps up.

I don't understand it either, boots for winter, with open toes?? I also didn't understand the "why" of these, but they do look good to me even if not practical.

It does look interesting, but noticing Nigels post made me think again about it. As it's sponsored by a magazine it's going to be high profile, and I'm not ready to step up as a poster boy for the men in heels campaign yet lol.

Great visit then, at least they were open to alternative lifestyle choices lol.

Might have slowed me down a little, but I walk too fast for my wife so that's not a problem lol. Might have been the overall look.

We often do the evening walk together, and last night Mrs Shyguy was waiting at the door when I appeared in the higher heels. The others she has accepted, but add just over 1/4 inch to the height and a different toe box and they were just too much. Still did the walk together but even though the evening was warm there was a chill lol.

Tonight I upped the ante a little by wearing a different pair of boots with a slightly higher block heel. Pushed the boundaries a little close to the edge for mrs Shyguy though oops. It answered the backpain question though. Even the heels are harder (and noisier) I still didn't suffer back pain from walking, so it looks like the height rather than the type of heel doing the trick.

After about a week or so of not wearing heels again, last night was dog walking alone time again. So I got my jeans and heeled boots and went for a bit of a walk with the pup. Saw a gang of youths looking for trouble and decided that with or without heels I wanted no part of their evening and took evasive action. Still had a fair walk, and found my back pain even with the harder heels is lessened. It's either psychological or the change in posture. This morning went for a very long walk with the dog, and wore my boots which are very comfortable considering they are cheapies. It was in daylight but saw hardly anyone around and don't think it would have mattered if I had, as the heels are pretty nondescript. Even after a long walk my feet were fine and my back didn't ache. Enjoyable way of both me and the pup getting out and doing what we want to.

I like those boots you linked at Dune, very ice and look masculine even with the heel. I agree in the main about swearing in songs although sometimes it gets a point across. A lot of music these days seems to contain profanity just to get the kids to listen as their parents won't like it. My daughters used to keep playing certain music for that reason, but by me not complaining they soon got bored with trying to get a reaction from dad. I must watch the Rocky Horror show again on DVD and remind myself of the songs.

I want to get to the Rocky Horror in MK, and may get to go with Mrs Shyguy (just maybe). It's one of those things I want to do someday anyway.

Isn't Faux a French word for false lol. Sounds dead exotic though Faux Leather. Nice looking boots though, not going to bother saving to buy them though.

Underwhelming. Missed the fancy dress judging and the "Rockyoke" turned out to be just pop Karaoke with the Rocky Horror Hearse in the back of the stage. All in all a wasted journey.

I prefer the Lip 109 styles.
