  1. Today
  2. White go go boots are on top of my wish list for sure... Not as long as we can still rock it in heels!
  3. Wow, missed this. Those are beautiful heels. Watch out, you're turning in to the pumps guy. Join the club
  4. Beginning to think we are grey hairs here. Site should be call GERIATRIC HEELS FOR MEN
  5. I’m older than you. I was at university during the clog era, my interest in alternative footwear had its origins some years earlier, around 1969, with go-go boots - how I wished I could have s pair of those! I would have liked a pair of clogs too back in the day, although never as much as I wanted a pair of shiny white go-go boots
  6. Unfortunately, this seems to be the case. Most times, when I compliment a guy in heels, I am usually working and only wearing my regulation cowboy boots. Nine times out of ten, the response is a very muted "thanks", with no interest in further conversation. I "get it" and understand, my compliment could be interpreted as "creepy", the guys are probably not interested in drawing any attention to themselves, especially from this old fart. So, for me, I still compliment guys in heels, but have no expectations of any response and am not upset by it....
  7. For sure. Normal looking heels, not the crazy stuff seen on runways that most would want to wear. I've seen Harry in a few pairs, they all seemed pretty tame to me, would be interesting to see pics in the heels you are referring to....
  8. I have no idea how much such shows influence pop culture. I haven't owned a TV for 12 years, and I haven't watched any kind of series for much longer than that. I will say that at least his heels are real heels, unlike those of some other male stars (Harry Styles comes to mind). In other words, even if he hadn't pointed it out, one would kind of notice that he's wearing heels. Even at that, they aren't crazy, and they go with the rest of the outfit.
  9. Our family, along with three other families, took a trip to Chicago nearly six years ago. I wore heels the entire trip despite the tremendous amount of walking we did. None of the girls even attempted, even though it seems like something they would have done when they were younger. What is your secret for endurance in heels?
  10. Yesterday
  11. That's what people always think, init? My wife would not answer in such a way, she would say something to the effect of, "he is super-crazy!" But ever since the Chicago trip back in 2018, she never questions my choice.
  12. As it turns out, my presence was not really needed after the setup and settling in. I was only there for about 3 hours in the morning and a couple right around closing up time (10 p.m.). I wore some Bebe wooden heeled sandals with an effective 3 3/4" heel, and they didn't bite back. I was actually rather glad to have them when it came time to open up the side wall of our tent, as I am barely tall enough to reach the hooks. Their one inch platform with 4 3/4 inch heel gives me an effective 3 1/2 inch boost in height. Perhaps today I will choose some type of shoe with a really big platform for that very reason. Nah, probably not. Today I will have my son with me, and he will be my effective boost in height. One person said something to me the entire time I was there, and it was some random 20-something woman, who simply smiled at me and said "Fabulous!"
  13. Oh yeah! I remember the clogs now that you mention it. But that was a thing when I was somewhere around 10 years old. I'm sure I noticed such things at that age, but my preference for heels did not fully form until several years later. I know I never cared for the giant disco platforms of Saturday Night Fever. I rather liked the Dr. Scholl's exercise sandals, which were also everywhere during the Clog Era. Both on college campuses and the elementary school classroom.
  14. Well here we are in london with my partner and her mum and dad. they know i wear heels and seen me in them but mot 4” was a little worried. was walking around the streets and i was just in front of her mum when i heard her say yo my partner “his feet are going to hurt in them” my parter to my surprise said “he walks better in them then he does trainers” omg amazing. Spent from about 13 hours in them yesterday. Busy day today.
  15. Last week
  16. here is a link to Brock: https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/vanderpump-rules-star-brock-davies-115521260.html Yep, that is Brock for sure. Glad to read the article to see that the boots are his choice, not something a stylist put together for him to wear. Brock is a "guy's guy" and looks great, looks like he is taking some heat for it as expected. Hoping he won't back off, I'm thinking he likes the way he looks and feels in great boots...
  17. Nice crisp look. Love the tie and shoes. Interesting situation. If I were you, I’d take along a spare pair just in case. You never know how deeply involved you are going to be anytime your wife is “involved.” Please let us know how things go.
  18. Wow! For starters I wish I could go to this festival and stock up on some nice food! I love the sound of the stuff you guys have on offer! to your point on footwear - those are long days. Although your vehicle will be a ways off it might be wise to bring a spare pair just in case - either because your feet need a break or because it may be useful or desirable not to be heels for some reason. If you don’t need them a spare pair don’t take up much space and if you do you’ll be glad you have them handy
  19. Indeed! When I was in college back in the 70s few girls wore heels but barefoot was not at all uncommon. What were really big were wooden soled clogs. Lots and lots of clogs
  20. A long time ago, I mentioned something about my wife partnering with another Vietnamese woman for the purpose of selling food and making money. At the time, I think I mentioned something about not wearing heels to meet her so as not to project myself into something that is none of my concern. Today, that partnership truly begins, and I have already forgot about being invisible. There is an Asian festival taking place in the city, and it's one of those things that is well organized, well funded, and well attended. We went to set up some things last night, and I didn't even really think about it, but I wore some casual heels. My wife didn't say anything, the other woman didn't say anything, and her husband didn't say anything. Today and tomorrow, the festival is open from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. I am assured that I will not be obligated continuously for that long, and I hope that's right. I am not finding any joy in any of this. But, I am seriously not sure whether to wear heels to work this thing. Since I won't have a vehicle available right there (we have to park several hundred meter away), do I carry backup shoes with me on my person? I cannot recall ever needing the backup shoes in the past when I have brought them. And if I do decide to wear heels, which heels? Naturally, it is thunderstorming outside my window as I write this. It's supposed to be over by the time the festival starts.
  21. Here is a link to his instagram with a quick vid of him rocking the heels you are probably speaking of @pebblesf https://www.instagram.com/reel/C61hRugpqND/
  22. couldn't make it through 15 minutes of MILF
  23. Have not seen the show but glad to hear what you are reporting. On the topic of watching idiotic shows, my gf and I are watching season 2 of MILF Manor lol. Very cringeworthy and kinda gross but we get a good laugh. All new low for my tv watching
  24. I don’t own a TV and I live in England so I’ve no idea about the show or the actor. But it is nice to hear that a guy in heels is being presented sensibly
  25. I guess you could always go for a Dutch barge …
  26. Well, I guess I will have to admit to watching mind numbing, useless Bravo TV shows, but it is worth for this topic. "Brock", a very masculine husband to one of the stars of the show, is just the type of man we need to help promote heels as normal mens' footwear. The last three "reunion episodes" show Brock wearing some great looking pointed toe ankle boots with 3" block heels. Oftentimes, many actors look foolish with some of the outfits picked for or by themselves. But, big ol Brock really looks great in those boots. I'm wondering if he picked them out, of if one of the show's stylists picked them for him. Hoping he enjoys wearing them and thinks he looks good, because he does. Again, seeing normal, popular "celebrities"/regular guys wearing boots like this really does help normalize the fashion. This also helps regular guys summon the courage to try out fashions like these ankle boots, that they have only secretly admired in the past... OK, so now let me have it for watching idiotic TV shows like this... I'm not afraid to admit that I enjoy just letting my eyes roll back inside my head while enjoying silly stuff like this, even though I can feel my last remaining brain cells just melting away! D
  27. Even if I lived in a trailer, I'd have to have a double-wide, I guess. 😆
