Back to this thread...

I still have to take the pictures, I was too busy at work, there wasn't time for it. I promisse they will come.

I've got some news, I did it again! This time I was wearing the boots on this thread http://www.hhplace.org/discuss/guys/6091-street_party_heeling_i_did_didnt_hurt.html but with black pants and grey shirt, in another edition of the party.

This time I came with my wife. Sincerely, I don't think that someone (that didn't know me) saw that I was wearing 5 inch boots. No one asked anything.

The different thing is that these boots are too high and my feet were painful at the end, because I stayed the most of the time at my feet, no time to seat.

It was a fun time again and can't wait for the next time to do it.

One thing to remember: sandals, even beeing 4 inch, cause more fuzz in men's feet and take more attention from other people.

I think I can walk in black boots at night and no one in the street will notice at all!

Wow (5 min silence) Crazy experience and stunning classy super beautiful wonderful shoes.

US women's size 13 or 14, depending on the manufacturer. Big, very big...

Don't get bored by it Higharch. It's the same situation for me.

Since the foot appears to be smaller when in heels it's fine to have a big pair

And if she comes with the shoes?

Santa Claus wears black boots, doesn't he?

Wow Johnieheel! I'm cleaning my mouth here. A lot of incredible boot styles in that link!

After some replies I understood the real meaning of this thread. Yes, it's a lot difficult to find out when it's time for shopping. Women have made misery in credit cards because of fashion. For sure some people need to control their expenses in shoes, I think. Had some conversation with my wife about this subject last week.

Now if my wife comes with that Gillette in christmas I'm gonna kill her!

Was fun to read your story. The boots are just beautiful!

It's a great project Histiletto, I like the idea and will think about it. I just have to remember you the advice given by other experienced streetheelers here. Since man in heels is such a social problem for more then half of our members, make it public can be complicated to them, and they like the way we are here, anonymous faces on the internet. I'm one of the ones that are getting out of the closet after several years of shame in four walls, and I don't think on wearing it regularly as daily shoes yet. Just to think about it, please. Another idea to talk about the subject can be writing a book with compiled stories and anonymous names. It's more to the cult side in my opinion too and a easier, cheapier, faster project to realize.

I really never saw a one-legged lady in heels before (but this thread) but a week ago I saw a blind one, in nice 4'' heels and tittering with her bengal around the walkway. I was impressed! For those that don't know Sao Paulo, there's lots of holes in the walkways around here. When I was freestyling last saturday I changed to lower heels because of holes. The blind girl looked like a heroine for me!

Why don't you send us the links or your Id to find out your videos on youtube?

(...) I've been considering those kinde of parties myself, especially since I learned that many of the women that come to them actually enjoys men in heels.

You're quite right! Some women came to me to say "Your look is incredible, black pants and sandals match". Since I'm married I didn't want anything with those girls but it is clear enough to say that yes, they enjoy it.

At fetish parties you are always welcome. People that go there are very open-minded and nothing can make them loose their face. They have seen everything you can imagine, plus more.

I was at one yesterday evening and it was a blast, as usual. Although I have to admit I go a "little" bit further in my outfits than just the heels. Those of you that comes to Torture Garden in February will see it.......

Also, as you say, you make a lot of friends at these places. And if any of you have any doubts, there are numerous girls/women that are interested/likes guys in heels.

That was amazing. I was more than welcomed there, much more than any other regular party I was on. Seems that the open-mindness in this public is a norm (I can think why).

About the fetish outfit, It was only heels for me. The rest was regular clothes.

A lot of friends, for sure. And some business too!!!

Wow! Spend a night in high heeled sandals...great!

Waiting for the pics.

My dear brazilian friend, I was too happy and thought about your love for sandals when I was there. I discovered a party like this in Rio de Janeiro, it's called "GoGo Night". Why don't you consider taking your wife to such an open-minded place? Keep waiting for the pics, please, the clothes are still not ready.

Congratulations!

Maybe you can start wearing high heeled boots with block heels as I do here eventually during my job's lunch time at downtown Rio de Janeiro. Used with normal jeans nobody gives it a damm, even with its 9 centimeters fully exposed.

I have come to the conclusion that the thinner the heel, the most people notice it (and make strange looks), independently of the heel height.

Keep on heeling, my friend!

Thanks Celso! I really like heels but my favorite are the most feminine ones. I think I'll keep my heeling for special places for a while. And it's good to have some adventures sometimes.

Cool! Sounds like you had a great time, and nice shoes!

Many thanks radiodave! These sandals are very confortable for a night out in heels. After 15min walking around I just forgot that I was in heels.

I really don't like it. The design is not for my taste, sorry. Nothing related to heels or no heels. I like boots with and without heels but these.

Hello everybody... and... YEEEEEEESSSSSSS I DID IT !!!!!!!!!!!

Some of you should remember the thread bellow:

http://www.hhplace.org/discuss/guys/6091-street_party_heeling_i_did_didnt_hurt.html

That was my first street heeling, or better, my first heeling in full view of lots of people. But since I'm not a real crossdresser, I did that for a costume party.

Yesterday things were a bit different. I went to a party again, but at this time I was dressed as a man but in heels, or freestyling.

I decided to do that because I discovered this http://www.projetoluxuria.com.br that is a fetish party like you have in UK ("Torture Garden" I think) and people in those places tend to be more openminded. The dresscode says that you should take your desires to the extreme or you won't get in the party.

The look was a red shirt, jeans and the same boots of the other party, under the jeans. A good guy look.

So I took my car, unfortunatelly my beloved wife was too tired of the work week and didn't go with me. When I arrived I found a park place close to the front door. The street was crowded of people, since that is a place where several night clubs and pubs in Sao Paulo are.

Well, I had to take my desires to the extreme! So I weared my boots in the car, got out of it, locked the doors and walked with all my pride to the party's door. NO ONE NOTICED MY BOOTS IN THE STREET. Not even a second look. At the door, the hostess is trained to let fetishes get in. She looked to me and said "You are in jeans and a regular shirt! You'll have to pay the extra tax."

I said "But I'm wearing these boots!" and showed her my left foot rising the pant's leg. She said "I'm sorry, jeans are too regular!"

I got a little mad about that hostess, but HEY! My boots don't get noticed at all!!! This is great!!!

Ok, I got back home (35 min drive) and changed my look. I weared black dress pants, dark grey shirt and this pair of sandals http://s33.photobucket.com/albums/d57/flavetz/?action=view&current=sandal1.jpg. Black is a norm in the party, said the hostess, so I thought I was ok.

Drove back, this time there was no place near the door to park. Had to let the car half a block far. A guy that take our money to "watch" the car parked (they are everywhere in Brazil) came a said "Are you going to that party" I said "Yes" and thought that the guy should see "strange" people everytime that party happens. I decided to put my sandals and walk through the block! The guy just gave me my payback, said good party and I walked with my sandals, NO ONE NOTICED AGAIN!

This time the hostess at the door said "Ah, now you're ok!" and let me in. I entered the door and was surprised by what I saw. Lot's of people beeing... WHAT THEY ARE! Crossdressers (both sides), sadomasoquists, TWO GUYS JUST IN HEELS, a guy in panties and hosiery and some "regular" people that paid the tax just to enjoy the party or wear other fantasies.

I was alone, didn't know anyone and made A LOT OF FRIENDS. People (man and woman) started to came to me because was my first time in the club. All of them said that my sandals were amazing, including Crossdressers with amazing shoes too. A married girl (her husband was there) came to me and said "I loved your look with the sandals, they are incredibly matching the pants. You could wear this to work!" Unfortunatelly I can't, since I visit customers, but she was right, everything is just a matter of what society thinks.

I took a lot of conversation about shoes, fantasies, desires and fetish with several people, conversation about regular subjects, about everything! I WAS TOO HAPPY, way more happy then in the costume party. Next time I will see if I can get my wife toghether to enjoy a good night in HEELS! Total freestyle.

The best part: the party is not about sex, even beeing about fetishs. People there makes us feel right that desires, fashion, sex and fetishes are not necessarily related. The party is about having fun in whathever clothes you want to.

What is good come to an end, I walked the block back to the car... time to take the sandals off, it's illegal to drive in heels in Brazil. End of night. Happier than ever.

I'll arrange pictures of the look when the clothes get back from the wash machine and I will post here. Comments allowed and wanted!

Hello, I'm 6'8" without heels and have to duck in doorways sometimes. I'm not a street heeler (yet) but I wonder how I will feel when in heels at the street. Actually, I'm so tall that maybe the extra height will be no clue for me.

Bootylicious, loved your pairs, both! The black ones can be managed to look as "regular man's" shoes and be worn all and about. Many thanks for the pictures!

Thanks for the update booty lover! Nice boots in Portugal!

They seem to be nice and good looking classic boots, but larger pics are very welcome to see them fully _boot_lover_

Wild and great pair jagman, a must have for me! But I keep my vote to booty lover. That one is fantastic for now.

I'm reading this while in a hotel during a work trip, so it's not possible to take a good picture from my boots this week.

You can see some old pictures of me in a costume party, I was crossdressed even not beeing a former crossdresser. The boots are in full view but the pictures don't help too a good watch.

But that's fine, I lost already... these boots from booty lover are a winner at this moment for me. What a gorgeous pair, dude!!!

Here in Brazil this kind of flat boots are the latest fashion for... well, for girls. They don't even have a heel!!! Well, that's life... girls are also wearing what they call "horsemen boots". The other day someone stated that a guy wearing them is gay. You can imagine what a "macho culture" does in my country.

This pair is great! Congratulations! I just think that the close-up in the toe box is a bit strange, but it's just the angle of the camera.

OK, so in which cities are you 4 living?

Regards.

I'm from Sao Paulo, DeSalto is from Rio de Janeiro, Gony is from Belo Horizonte and Kennard is from somewhere in the northeast (I don't remember now).

Many thanks for your participation here and, by the way, your city?
