kneehighs Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 Today in Soho I saw a guy in stiletto boots. Luckily, I had my camera on me and was able to get permission to take his picture. It's the fourth time in the last two months I've seen a man in heels who APPEARED AS A MAN, on the streets of NYC (twice at Fashion Week, once at a bar on the Lower East Side, and today). EDIT: if you see a guy in heels and have a camera, even a cell phone camera, ask if you can take his picture! A simple, "I love your outfit, can I take a picture?" will do. © 2007 kneehighs.

Elegant Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 Nice to read that. Who knows, maybe he was inspired by you? The guy in golden pants is pretty good-looking, too! And yes, I really love the ankle boots. What is good for a goose, can be good for any gender! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bubba136 Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 hello friends i,m have no view men in Boot,s ohter Highheels in my Country. I am the only men in my country were go in Boot,s and Highheels. I don't believe that you are the only man in Germany that wears high heels. I can think of several others that are members of this forum, Micha for one. He has posted that he lives in the Frankfurt area. And, there are the guys at LaPizza shoes. They all wear high heels when working at their store. And, then there is Joak and Chris007. both wear heels in public in Germany. I'm sure there are others..Even, I bet our "sweet Gina" knows about some other guys in Gemany that wear them, too. Being mentally comfortable in your own mind is the key to wearing heels in public.

kneehighs Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 SOHO: Broadway between Prince and Houston Another man appearing as a man wearing stiletto boots spotted around 3:00 today in Soho. I couldn't believe it. I walked behind him for about a block and carefully monitored the reactions: none. I broke the ice with, "Excuse me, I like your outfit." He replied, "thanks" I replied, "You know, you are the second guy in the last week that I've seen wearing stilettos on the street" He said, "Really?" "Yeah. Can I take a picture?" "I'm running late for an appointment right now actually" and he kept walking forward, giving me a cold shoulder. "It will only take a second..." "What do you want a picture of? Just me?" as he slowed down. "Yes" as I stooped down on one knee and clicked the photo that you now see. A group of four blondes, most likely tourists on Broadway in Soho were passing by and watched me take a picture. I could see them look back at the guy...they giggled and smiled, but it was NOT in a derogatory manner...just something surprising to see I'd surmise. Again, if any of you guys see another man in heels, ask for a picture. © 2007 kneehighs. The following photograph appearing on this site is the property of kneehighs.

Bernheels Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 Gary 0618: i love the story! I ride a Harley too and love to wear high heel cowboy boots at times. I purchased a pair of 4 inch custom cowboy boots that I will wear when I am in the mood. I have gotten a few looks but who is going to mess with a guy on a Harley:) Bernheels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I don't think it makes it appear cold at all. I did after all take the picture. Spotting a man in heels is rare. Spotting a man in heels AND taking a picture is even rarer. I do everything I can to protect my property and reminding others of my legal copyright privileges is an important part of my defense against having others steal the pictures. And as far as copyright laws are concerned, there is no legal requirement that one use their real name to establish protections. Feminine Style . Masculine Soul. Skin In The Game.

HeelD Posted September 29, 2007 Share Posted September 29, 2007 I'd say guy number two is a guy. When I look at him I think of Richard Simmons. Out of the two pictures posted by KH, I'd say the first guy looks a lot sharper. Heel-D - Freestyling since 2005 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heelfan Posted October 11, 2007 Author Share Posted October 11, 2007 Hi Folks, Thanks to all who have posted in the last ten months since I started this thread in January 2007. A most fascinating and heartening response so far. Thanks also for your complimentary comments on this thread. The one and only criticism came from Micha who didn't like me asking for reports of men streetheeling because he felt that I was asking other people to do the work instead. In fact, the reverse is true because I got the ball rolling with reports of my own, and topped it up with others since, totalling as much as anybody! Personally, I'm confident that it is a valuable thread because the growing knowledge that male street-heeling is being observed increasingly in various nations can only give confidence to those shyguys that were too nervous to step out in heels because they thought they were the only one in the world. So again, great reports this year, and keep 'em coming in!!! Cheers, Heelfan Onwards and upwards! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lotsofheels Posted October 11, 2007 Share Posted October 11, 2007 Only a couple, but I live in a conservative area in upstate NY. Last year, I say I guy standing outside the bank with a pair of womens boots that had about 2 1/2 inch narrow heels. He was about 45 years old and was very nonchalant and looked great. His wife came out of the bank and joined him and they walked merrily off hand in hand. What a great sight. This year, I was out in a restaurant with my wife and a guy was sitting at the table next to us with a pair of heels that looked about 3 inches. My wife was very happy that my heels outdid his by about 1 1/2 inches as she would hate for either of us to be shown up by someone else with higher heels than ours.

kneehighs Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 Can anyone spot for sure if the one in Rayban's is a guy?

JeffB Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 I'm gonna take a wild guess and say that's a guy in the sunglasses. I dunno, something about the cheekbones and the overall shape on the face says "man" to me. Of course, I could be wrong, but that's my two cents worth. I don't want to LOOK like a woman, I just want to DRESS like a woman! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kneehighs Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 It's a guy. There have been other people on the internet fashion forums trying to figure it out and finally an esteemed fashion blogger from Palm Beach Florida put two and two together: click this...the first picture is the male fashionista who has made it to the Sunday edition of the New York Times... I wonder if Bill Cunningham realized he was taking a picture of a man in high heels? hehe Feminine Style . Masculine Soul. Skin In The Game.

on heels Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 I have only seen one guy in heels and that was two years ago. It was at supermarket checkout [near HeathrowAirport]. He was about 40ish wearing a shirt, jeans and black 2inch heel loafers. As for me, I was wearing ballerina style flats! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
