flavio

Congratulations on your outing! But I'm here to say that your look is fantastic! Your boots, jeans and the coat matched very well. Keep up the good work.

Hey rmaciej1983 You for sure have a lot of points that can make you feel miserable about your desires. I think that our admin Tech had the answer he asked for. I know it's terrible to show happiness when you're down. Since I believe your story is true, I think that you're the full exposure of what all of us around here are affraid of: beeing misunderstood, criticized, misconcepted and, the worst, even injured. All I want to wish you is that you can solve your problems or, who knows, time can tell to the people that hurt you that you're a great guy and the clothes and shoes you wear are the full expression of your great personality. I'm trying here to help you but I really don't think you want some help at this time. But think of the following: - you live in a huge society - some people maybe like you the way you are; - you have a job, regardless you clothing preference, and you even WEAR them to work - a lot of people today are affraid of loosing their jobs due to the financial crisis; - try to forget you old gf, I'm sure it's not your soulmate even if you love her with your full heart; - I'm sure you're a good guy - people around you will treat you worst if you're always showing what you're not. We all are here to support you and appreciate your courage to wear what you pictured in the streets of a so terrible country and society. My best regards

Thats great stuff flavio. From what I have read here about Brazil, society is pretty much genderized. Thats a word you know.lol Kind of black and white with no gray area if you know what I mean. Sounds like it's opening up a little. Keep up the good work and heeling friend. Sounds like you have a really great wife and also had a really great time.

Thanks a lot Johnie, you and all your family are examples to follow!

Actually my wife doesn't go with me to the last party, the post that tell she was with me is quite old. She says that she really don't appreciate the lasciviousity in the place since she went there and saw by herself. She is a great person, yes, and she always encourage me to go there. Unfortunatelly she's not keen of me going anywhere in heels specially when she is around.

Agreed! Any info on where you bought them, heel height, etc?

Heel height is 12,5cm (5 inch), up to the knees, pointed toes, black and real vestuary soft leather. They are absolutely roomy and comfortable, that pair is custom made. Standing up for long periods can make my feet a little sore but that party is for dancing

There's a shop here in Sao Paulo that does a very good job in custom made shoes and, of course, it's not cheap. They are specialized in boots.

You can see some of their styles in http://www.aubottier.com.br

Since the site is in portuguese, click on "Produtos para venda", it's the second button on the bottom area.

A lot of kudos to you! In my opinion you're lookig very much better then the last time I saw pictures from you. Keep up the good work!!! You have great taste.

Thanks all for the kind words but...

Folks, you have missed the main point of my last post. Yeah reel to reel is cool, and the leather jacket looks good with the thigh boots, but what did you think of the music for the video? When I heard that song again, for the first time in many years, I thought this is exactly what the experienced heelers have been telling the new folks. I would be interested to have a few other opinions.

Agreed. It's a deep song and deep songs always try to show us different ways of thinking and openning the mind.

I never heard that before since I'm... just 32 and it's way back in time. But it was good to hear it with your walking in the park in that outfit.

I'm this way: good songs should match good images, even if the images are just your imagination. A well made video clip is a lot better.

Ok, I promised pictures and they didn't arrive. Here is one! I went to last party and since the habituées are just 15 or 20 people, the organizer knows everyone, me included. Taking pictures in the party without authorization is forbidden and the official photographer was invited by the organizer to take a picture of my boots. The picture is in the official site of the party. Here it is, my boots under my pants. That's how I freestyle in the street when I go to that place.

Reel-to-Reel tape - - - now that's the way tape should be!

Yeah, I remember reels -- still have a few in fact, and a tape deck capable of playing them.

Always loved 'em.

Copied, audio addicted here.

Was, and still is, the best analog recorded sound you can obtain. A good reel-to-reel tape is better than a long play vinyl. Unfortunatelly tapes are prone to aging and I threw my collection away. I still have my LP collection and a good turntable to play them. The problem is to find styllus, so I have a 4 piece stock that should last for about 15 years.

Thanks Thighbootguy for the amazing video. It's one of the best looks you've show here, congratulations!

My first time can be read here:

http://www.hhplace.org/discuss/guys/6091-street_party_heeling_-_i_did_-_didn_t_hurt.html

but since I consider that a cheaty situation, costume party, I prefer to consider this a real one:

http://www.hhplace.org/discuss/guys/9534-my_first_real_freestyling.html

Both was nerve wracking situations. It's a lot easier today.

I voted Privacy because it's mostly what I do. Sometimes I do public wearing but it's in selected places and with people that really don't care about others are wearing in the feet (and clothes at all) but I'm not a regular street heeler even with the most discrete and hideous ones. When in public I'm in high stilletos and boots.

everyone,

In France, we haven't got chance like English or American people, it's not easy to wear heels for men.

I create this thread in order to have more ideas about going well heels with clothes, and for me, the better way is to have some pics...

Although people are thinking that in France, we are a country where the fashion is very developped, spirits are quite closed

(...)

Now you know about the thread for members pictures and the galleries, I would like to take the time to speak about France.

I was there for vacation from september 19th 'till october 4th with my wife. What I have to say is that I agree with Wille_E_Coyot. French people is very conservative. I didn't see any public expression of fashion freedom, sexuality (gay people is very indoors around there) what makes it very difficult to freestyle.

Kneehighs seems to be at the right place, where fashionists are all around what makes the freedom sensation a lot easier to achieve.

At this moment the "yes" counting is 1. Since I clicked "yes" I'm the only who voted so I have to say something. This is not the best moment in my life, relationship, etc... and I really think the need for high heel wearing is making things more difficult. Yes, I would take the pill to solve it. Note that this is not related to personal desire but to make life easier in the country I live and with close relatives and friends.

Does Next ship to the States ?

Does Next ship to Brazil?

Does Next ship the model? That zoom thing on the site made my day.

To get your account upgraded does not need any type of payment's all you need to do is be active on the site. upload some vid's post some comment's. it's done this way so people won't take without giving if you understand what i mean. and so we always can keep the site alive. we haven't decided yet how many comments to post and vid's to upload to get premium but we will soon.

That's cool Simcity3!

As our forum here, beeing a good and active member grows your reputation up!

Sorry about my mistake, this is because that "Premium" word is used worldwide as "paying member".

Thanks for the update and good planning around there!

Looks like another over priced shoe web site. Thanks for the information though.

Sorry but it seems to be more than this t-strap lover.

When you click on the shoe model it appears in the left the name of the store and the price. Some of them are from Zappos and with a very reasonable price tag.

Here you can see how we walked through the mall at the Ohio heel meet last weekend.

Jealous (in a good way) here.

Unfortunatelly we have a too small number of members in Brazil that are too far away from each other that makes it impossible to organize a heelmeet around here. Oh yes, the country is too discriminative too.

Great pictures Johnie, it seems that you all had a lot of fun!

As has already been stated here, not every woman can walk in heels, even if they're short. I used to have women tell me I walk better in heels than they do. It's all about the individual and how well they can manage such a feat. Some can, and some can't. Period. In my mind, gender has nothing to do with that.

Couldn't say it better JeffB!!!

When I went to the costumes party I related on the thread:

http://www.hhplace.org/discuss/guys/6091-street_party_heeling_-_i_did_-_didn_t_hurt.html

a girl in its 35 yo came to me saying "I never was able to wear heels, I keep falling and bending my ankles. I'm trying to get used with 2'' heels to start. It's a shame for me you walk so well in heels so high. Congratulations!"

I think it proves that the capability of walking well in heels is an inividual thing, not related to gender.

^ The guy in thighboots in the NYC video is Shafted.

Speaking of him, he's not posting here for sometime. Have anyone been in contact with him?

I have seem them sometime ago in 6ihf, they were talking about discontinue the design. Maybe because of the problems Dr. Shoe said.

Very nice thread radiodave! Thanks a lot for it! I started to imagine what I would wear tomorrow.

It's always a good idea to make a new service in the internet. The worst thing that could happen to you is to quit because you don't have more time/money to keep it up. Considering what you wrote, I don't think it's a good idea to give just "downloads" for the premium visitors since with today's technology it's too easy to bypass any kind of copy protection you include in web pages. Think that if someone can watch something the content is beeing displayed it proves that it has been transmitted from your site to the visitor's computer, of course it will be possible to save the file someway, somehow. Another think is that forbidd someone to share information is contrary to the freedom the internet is founded in, see the popularity of video and photo sharing communities. Of course you want to earn some money with your site but did you discuss your business model with your partners? Have you considered advertising, for example? Google Adwords is nice for a starting site. My .02.

Opposite here. Girls wear heels all the time, to work, shopping, club and party. Some of them finds it mandatory: they feel that some offices and parties obligates them to wear heels, but I think it's an excuse to buy more shoes or maybe compete among them. Considering the amount of girls wearing heels in the streets when they are not supposed to have an excuse, I think that girls wear heels just because it's chick and/or feminine.

Pointy shoes are another male creation to punish woman. I hate them but admit that I do have some simply because they do look stylish.

I'm a man that would like to be punished by those shoes but they're not available in my size

As an observer of women in heels I always tend to watch how they do each step or can gracefully use skycrapers without any sign of pain at all. I have seen girls that bend the ankles to the inside, to the outside and ones that step gracefully with the heels in a vertical position. That way, I really don't think that the way a woman steps has anything to do with grace, since I have seen girls that wears heels with no grace at all.

If "googling" was invented meaning "search on the web", why can't we put heeling in the dictionary???
