petey86 Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 Hey guys, Just wanted to kick off my introduction (no pun intended ) as I've been following the site for a few years now. Basically liked heels since I was 10 years old attemping to wear my sister's boots and heels without her knowing, then bought my first pair of high heeled boots when I was 19 and have been addicted ever since. I guess it was due to the fact that womens shoes look and feel nicer than any mens shoe and the sensation you get whilst wearing a nice pair of heels. Currently have 5 pairs of heels, most of those are boots and only wear them in private. My soon to be wife also accepts my interests in heels, as long as I don't expand my collection too much and wear them out in public.

Histiletto Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 Hey petey86, This is going to sound a bit harsh, but I'm concerned that you both start your marriage together on equal terms. Apparently, your fiancée knows about your interest in high heels, but doesn't realize that you have just as much of a desire to wear them as often and like she does. However, if you are OK with the arrangement of only privately wearing them and won't later feel like a second class person because you had to closet your high heeling interest, I guess you should discuss it with her.

petey86 Posted November 10, 2014 Author Share Posted November 10, 2014 Thanks for the input - I'm quite happy that she accepts my desires, as it was quite nerve racking to tell her at the start of our relationship. I have ventured out in a public place before in high heel boots (quiet park) and these days I just wear them around the house including outside. I'm not aiming to wear them all the time and we talk about it openly about the heels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

petey86 Posted November 14, 2014 Author Share Posted November 14, 2014 Sorry about the typo - i meant faux suede lol. Actually had the exact pair a while ago and after seeing some recent images online, I had to get them again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SleekHeels Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 Nice boots, sounds pretty lucky to find them again. I guess with summer coming the next few months won't really be boot weather in Melbourne, but they're a nice addition to your collection. If you like it, wear it.

petey86 Posted November 15, 2014 Author Share Posted November 15, 2014 Petey At this rate you will have more heels than your partner Lol, I think I might! She doesn't wear heels that often although I did buy her a pair of Jeffrey Campbell "Lita" boots similar to mine a few years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bikergoth Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 Hey Petey! Congrats on the forthcoming wedding & I love the photos of your collection - I'm very pleased for you. There's nothing better than having an understanding lady behind you who's into boots & heels. I understand how you must be feeling as my lady also supports me fully with my wearing of boots. Love your Lita's btw - My lady & I now have a dozen pairs of them between us in different colours, materials & various stages of spikeyness! We find them really comfy - a lovely style of boot. I think our favourite pair are the white leather which are totally covered in spikes. Not the sort of thing to wear for a cosy evening by the fire, though! The spikes do tend to cause damage &/or injury if we're not too careful...! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's cool that you and your partner share the Litas and I absolutely agree they are comfy....even better than some mens boots i've worn. However I don't recommend driving in them due to their big platform (tried it once and had to take them off lol) so something with no platform or a very small platform is best for pedal feel.

Bikergoth Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 Lol! Very true Petey I don't recommend trying to ride a Harley in Litas either... Hellishly difficult to change gear, not to mention the funny looks! I wear an open face lid & more than once while I was waiting at traffic lights I heard someone say, 'That bird's got a bloody beard!' Quite funny in retrospect but at the time it wasn't - I was quite a way from home & pulled over to put the boots on as an experiment just to see if it would be possible to ride a few miles in light traffic. Unfortunately it got very busy really quickly & I couldn't find anywhere to stop & change back into my normal bike boots so I ended up riding nearly thirty miles home in them. One thing I did like though... It's a lot easier to hold the bike up wearing platforms if you've got short legs... Lol! In any case both experiences, (driving cars or riding bikes), can really damage the 'spine' of any high-heeled boot or shoe. (Improper angles of strain on the heels & all that old scientific stuff - No doubt someone will enlighten me as to the correct terminology - Dr Shoe perhaps?). Sad as it may seem it's flats only for driving for me I'm afraid. There's enough idiots in the UK that don't seem able to control their vehicles without me adding to them! I've probably now left myself wide open to the wrath of the 'road safety brigade' but to be honest it was a silly one-off that I won't be repeating ever again.

hhboots Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 Nice growing collection you have there. I have some words of caution for you: it easily can get out of hand. I have been well above 50 pairs for the past several years (at one point it got up to about 80 pair) and I feel a lot of pressure to purge/sell/donate a few older pair every time I add new ones. But I have a really hard time letting any of them go and it's a challenge to keep the collection under control after a while. I'm going to have to expand our closet or add storage somewhere just for mine and my wife's shoes since our closet is rather overcrowded. OK, enough of being a downer... haha Anyway, enjoy all of your new shoes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petey86 Posted December 29, 2014 Author Share Posted December 29, 2014 Thanks for the comments hhboots At the moment I have around 10 pairs in total and will eventually some off for a few reasons... - Impulse buy at the time - Doesn't fit as expected - Not my favourite style etc As I buy all my shoes online this happens quite often, although the plus side is I can gather my favourite styles that I've been searching for a long time and have a nice collection without the closet overflowing.

SleekHeels Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 Some of my early purchases were a bit hit-and-miss like that too, in my case not because I was buying online but because I was too embarassed to try heels on in store or to return them if they weren't quite right. Since I started trying on in store it's reduced my bad purchases and increased my good purchases, and as my collection has grown I think I've made better purchases overall. I like your latest additions, especially the black patent courts - they look very high but not too extreme, very elegant. That looks like quite a winter-like selection which is a little surprising as it must be the height of summer in Melbourne now. If you like it, wear it.

petey86 Posted December 30, 2014 Author Share Posted December 30, 2014 Thanks Sleekheels - the patent heels look stunning despite them being a little too tight. Yes it is getting warmer here in Melbourne although I don't wear my heels out anyway to be affected by the heat as such. Another bonus is people like selling off their boots around this time to make way for summer shoes and the upcoming cooler seasons, which means boots can be had for a really good price and less competition from other buyers (eBay).

petey86 Posted December 31, 2014 Author Share Posted December 31, 2014 Hey Petey Love the pumps. They look similar to the Sassy's but with a smaller platform. What brand are they? They actually are the Sassy patent pumps by Wittner . Oddly they fit smaller compared to the same pair I had in suede and the only other difference is the branding on the shoes - Zoe Wittner on this one and the suede ones just Wittner so I'm guessing it was the early batch.

mtnsofheels Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 A recent buy from eBay - They are a tan faux knee high boots by Bongo. Still love a nicely shaped block heel boot Agreed Petey86, nice looking boots! I like the heel as well. Heels can be a tuff for driving in (can't say that about motorcycles) but I find that wedge heels work very well if fact really like them for that. "Sad as it may seem it's flats only for driving for me I'm afraid." Bikergoth, wedges may work for you as long as it is safe to do so! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Degam Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 Glad you enjoying the freedom of wearing you heels when you want, My wife also accepts me wearing heels when I want, still wearing my block heels lately though, there a new silver stiletto pair I spotted in Myers last week, we going tomorrow to buy them in the sales, best to get shoes you want, not just any pair.

"Sad as it may seem it's flats only for driving for me I'm afraid." Bikergoth, wedges may work for you as long as it is safe to do so! Thanks for the comments - Have driven with the tan suede boots a few times with no problems but the heels on them wobble a little from the sole (not the best quality) so really depends on how well the heels are made and shouldn't have little flex if not any. Glad you enjoying the freedom of wearing you heels when you want, My wife also accepts me wearing heels when I want, still wearing my block heels lately though, there a new silver stiletto pair I spotted in Myers last week, we going tomorrow to buy them in the sales, best to get shoes you want, not just any pair. That's great your wife supports your heeling, however for me it's privately as I'm not at the stage of wearing heels out in public. Have a link to the stilettos? Yay Jeffrey Campbell lita's They're a really cool boot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
