14 cm high heel Hey Si Mey mules customized as strappy sandals with long laces, for better support.

Im interested as to what the limits are when it comes to heeling in public. Do you restrict yourself to a dark alleyway or dont you care? It does not matter what your heels are like or how high. It would be interesting to know what sort of places you wear them. So where do I wear my heels? Well I have been wearing them almost every day for the last 2 weeks. In this time I have been shopping in a busy supermarket (Tesco). Been to my mates gigs a few times (i'm his roadie). Went to see my father a few times. Went to my girlfriends home. Today I even ventured into a busy builders yard for the first time. I dont care where I go to be honest. I have got over the shy stage of wearing heels as daily footwear.

I think you fundamentally misunderstand what this site is all about. It's not that your photos are technically inappropriate in any sort of legal sense, but the boundaries you are pushing are irrelevant to us. We are trying to change society one person at a time. You are playing dress-up in front of the mirror. There's nothing wrong with that, but it doesn't really fit well with this site. We're simply not pushing "raciness" in any way. We are about practical advice, general fashion advice, and stories about interacting with the public as guys in heels, and hopefully gaining some acceptance as such. I hope I don't come off as a jackass, I'm just trying to put the issue in perspective, calmly. I can't say that I speak for everybody here, but I know I speak for quite a few.

"Stuff" has gotten real here. I have not left the house for about 36 hours. Let me rephrase that. I have not gotten in the car for 36 hours. I certainly have been outside for a substantial amount of time, clearing snow. I will do so again today, not because it has snowed more, but because the winds have kicked up, and the snow has drifted substantially over what I cleared yesterday. Before I get off the subject, @Jkrenzer, I now know what you mean about snowpack, and it makes sense. It also seems like one of those things that I will feel compelled to study in more detail, even though I know it won't really affect my footwear choices in any given situation all that much. I like my block heeled boots mainly because the shafts fit my calves better, and because they are less "cheap" looking, not necessarily because they are block heeled. Speaking of block heels, I spent most of the day in these knee high low heeled boots from Easy Spirit. I did not buy these for myself, but they have turned out to be handy in several situations, one of which was this deep snow. I wore them because I realized that I had left my real snow boots in my car, which was then buried. By the time I got the car unburied, I realized that the Easy Spirit boots are superior to the purpose made snow boots in every way except warmth, so I kept them on. Being as I was only outside for less than an hour at a time, and I was doing physical labor, warmth was not an issue. Anyway, I am glad that my dad bought a bigger snow blower than he thought he needed some 15 years ago, which is now mine. It's not too big. I should be thankful that I have the equipment to dispatch the job easily. I may grumble about it, but this machine makes pretty quick work of what would be an incredibly daunting task if one had to do it by hand. The story is that my dad went down to our local hardware store to buy a snow blower, and they had run out of the model that he really wanted, so he wound up buying the next model up, because they had one right there that he could take home. That was serendipitous, because the model he really wanted would have turned out to be unsatisfactory in the years to come. Despite being equipped with the notoriously troublesome Tecumseh engine, I've kept on top of it over the years, and it hasn't caused me a bit of trouble. Thankfully, I don't put a lot of hours on it in a year. For the third photograph, this is what I had to deal with last night. Snow drifting over my intake pipe for my furnace. This causes it to quit working. I had to go out twice and dig it out last night. I must have accidentally created some kind of fortress, because the furnace is still working fine this morning as I write this. I was mentally prepared to put on my coat and boots to go out there and shovel it out, but I didn't have to. I did put that photo up on social media as a PSA to all my local friends to not panic if the furnace quits working suddenly. I got a message from a dear friend who lives in Buffalo, NY, saying "You guys have more snow than we do right now!" Edit: Pictures are in reverse order somehow. You'll figure it out.

I am now back to work, though I am not 100% yet. Whatever this is, and it's not Covid, it's kind of long lasting. Iowa just got dumped on with snow, so that has changed the equation a bit. I pretty much have to wear boots if I want to go anywhere, and will for a while. And it's supposed to snow more in the next several days. I'm down to basically two heeled choices--BCBGeneration stiletto heeled boots, and Vince Camuto block heels, both black, both knee high, and both effectively 4 inches of heel. I prefer the block heels because the boots themselves look higher quality, and the shafts fit my legs somewhat better. I have a couple other pairs of boots, but they are unsuitable for heavier snow either because of shaft height or material. Very bitter temperatures are next on the docket!

Bought on Amazon, seller from China, very cheap but better made than some more expensive European manufacturers, very solid until now. Size is CN 49 (equivalent to EU 47), heels between 8 and 9 cm, round toes, very very comfortable, I'm in love. Faux fur interior (very warm, it's -2 C here today and I felt hot), faux leather. So today's outfit for the office, let's see if they are durable enough.

It's been a while since I've posted in this thread. Part of it is because I swore off buying any new shoes for a while, and part of it is that I simply haven't shared every single thing I've bought. On display this time are shoes that I have no idea why I bought. Well, yes I do know why I bought them. Believe it or don't, occasionally I just don't feel like wearing super high heels somewhere. These Born oxfords serve the purpose quite nicely. At 3 1/2 inches, they are just enough of a heel to feel like you're wearing heels, but low enough that you kind of feel like you're not wearing heels. Furthermore, the styling is evidently not too much of a jump, even for those who are kind of negative toward my fashion choices in general. I guess I have pushed it so far that when I dial it back a notch or two, I suddenly seem normal. This is really my third time wearing these easy to get along with oxfords out, and they feel pretty much exactly like they look--boring, but functional.

Happy New Year to everyone! Even though I don't have to work today, I'm up at 4:30, whether I want to be or not. I've always been an early riser anyway, heck I used to deliver the Des Moines Register newspaper, back when kids were allowed to do such a job. That would have been an awesome job to do in heels. With the possible exception of Sundays. Yesterday was an unusual day at church. We had a single service, where we normally have two, and my son and I were given the day off as musicians. We didn't take it. Luckily, our choir director is very tolerant of us, and did not mind a bit that we showed up to wing it (in other words, no rehearsal). I did wear low heels to the service, however. I had no idea what to expect, so we brought everything but the kitchen sink with us, and I didn't feel like carrying all those instruments in super high stilettos.

You are correct @AlexC94 And yes they are very nice!
