i went out wearing my white high heels not more than 4 times this summer! that is an all time low for me. my problem is low self esteem! i look at myself in a mirror or maybe catch a remark on the street and i take it personally, a very bad thing to do! but its autumn now and i started it off by taking my black boots from Maya with the 7.5 inch heel out of the closet and spending a day in those, walking all over this city and to a meeting with an old high school girlfriend who hasn't seen me in many years. she couldn't take her eyes off my boots. that was a confidence boost, now i'm ready autumn.

here are my 3 photos:

i'd like to come along to that heel meet this year, its been 5 years since i've been to NYC and i think its time to come back!

i like your outfit. i've worn something like it a few times, with some snug at the ankle leather pants, the entire thing in black of course. but i wore these boots that i bought from Maya Shoes.

i have narrow feet that fit those 6 and 7.5 inch heels perfectly but sometimes i get them with the vamp a bit too spacious! if it weren't for the ankle straps the shoes would go flying the minute i got out the door. thank goodness that is the case with just 2 of the pairs i have. i think i'm going to pass on the slides. i did see some flashy white oxfords though, with 7.5 inch heels that i like... might give those a go.

i was wearing my cupid boots on the street downtown, waiting for the bus. i wasn't going anywhere, just out cruising around in my black boots with a totally exposed 6 inch heel and having fun. but i was getting the odd sneer or snicker. i was telling myself it didn't bother me. but as i was waiting for the bus, an old man was seated there and he looked at my boots and said, "Son, those are some mighty fine looking boots." i told him that i was getting hassled for wearing them and he said: "So long as you're happy, that's all that matters." excellent words from an old man with plenty of life experience. i told him i was indeed very happy. but i remember his words whenever i'm out there on the street wearing the highest heels in the whole city.

i wear my high heel sandals throughout the summer and have been doing so for several years. i use to wear my white high heels after i was tanned but i find that takes a lot of nerve and some days i don't have it! i bought a pair of black 6 inch heels from pierre silber, sunset strip brand, model named Sherbert, and i got a lot of wear from those! not only were they easy to walk in, the black shoes draw a lot less attention than the white ones of course. and if you have butterflies... had to order a back up pair of sherberts and i'm waiting for those. i totally agree with a pedicure. my wife always does my nails, trimmings and painting, and i keep whatever hair on my toes shaved clean. and of course as i said earlier, i keep myself well tanned over the summer, i find it more pleasing to the eye to see those legs and feet tanned. especially when i get the nerve up to wear the white high heels.

does anyone have any experience with "slides" or "mules" made by pleaser that have heels 7 inches or higher? i was thinking about ordering a pair but i know pleaser brand, weight wise, are heavy shoes. i'm wondering if the first time i'm out with them, they're going to fly off my foot! i'm still waiting on dugan brothers to send me my other three pairs, and i'm really looking forward to those arriving before july!

i ordered them from dugan brothers. they were quite good in the communications department and said it would take 4 to 8 weeks! the vendor has to make them!

well, i ordered them: my replacement Sherberts in black and a flashy pair in white. also, a pair of 7.5's, the sultry label, cause i know my first pair are going to be dust quick! the idear of my fave shoes worn out for ever isn't a fave thought! even though i don't wear 6 inch heels anymore, i still want them for those low days.

great story! the exact same thing happened to me but it was the 70's. my mom was cleaning out the closets and my older sister's sling back platforms with a 4 inch heel were on the top of a pile destined for the good will. this was way back before i was 13 but i knew, even back then, i was a high heel wearer so i just stole them right off the pile and kept them for myself. i kept them hidden and wore them until my feet grew out of them... what a dismal day that was. if i were you, i would just scam them for myself and have some fun.

thanks. i checked the ineedsexyshoes site, seems a bit out dated... emailed them, hopefully i can replace my sherberts. if you see the sherberts out there, under any other name, please let me know. same with the cupid boots.

does anyone know where i can buy Sunset Strip brand shoes off the internet? i need to replace my Sherberts and i need a back up pair of my Cupids. hope to hear from you soon. Thanks.

i got out with my cupid boots again and instead of going downtown i went to a couple of artsy places in the city. i saw an older lady outside her shop smoking a cigarette... it was an antique shop and i thought i would take a quick look through there. she saw me coming and immediately said she loved my high heels. then we got into a conversation about how she use to wear high heels when she was young and didn't know how i could do it with such heights she'd never seen before! so that was a lot of fun. i did a lot of walking that day, kinda confidence building after all that negative stuff from sunday. terrible. you wonder, maybe they are right and i am wrong! maybe a guy shouldn't wear high heels... but then i caught myself and said what am i thinking?!!! i went out again last night but this time to the mega swinging By Ward Market: that place is full of young and old, flashy and spending the buckeroos! lots of beautiful women down there. i saw one gal, she was a beauty, and was wearing some very nice looking open toe pumps with at least a 4 inch heels. very nice looking shoes. but that was it in the high heel department, the rest looked like 3 inches or lower. we made our way around all those swinging streets and i enjoyed the attention i was getting. i walked past that gal twice, the gal with the 4 inch heels and she stared at my boots both times! but its fun wearing the highest heels in the city. last night there seemed to be no negative remarks. just gaggly stares. and i can deal with that all day. its when folks start mouthing off, well there is only so much of that you can take!

hiheellover23: glad to hear from you and to see you're still around. i know you like the same type of very high heels i do and i know you can understand what kind of nerve it takes to go public wearing them totally exposed and in broad day light. as far as the colored girls statement, well that is exactly what they said when i came walking down the street! the terms "colored" folks was used by my dad, and included me cause i'm native american! anyway, that was some wild and crazy experience on sunday. i spent 12 hours on the streets wearing my 6 inch heel cupid boots and i just could not believe the negative reactions! i mean to me, it was just crazy stuff and for why? folks i guess just have to tell themselves and others exactly how the world works according to them! like i said, i never let it stop me but i was bothered by the fact that there was so much negative and so little positive. you have to wonder what this world is coming to!! well like i said, i'm not letting all this negative stuff get in my way. i'm lacing them back up and going out again today. had to give it a couple of days for that weird sensation in the calves to ease, something anyone who has worn high heels for very long lengths of time will know. would love to get some pictures for you but these are solo outings. i'll let you know how it goes today, but this time i'll skip the negative stories since they are all the same, and focus on any of the positive that might come along. have fun!

there really oughta be some recognition for us guys who wear ultra high heels in public, and go through all the stupid and dopey street reaction. i mean, you are going to get it anyway, but when it borderlines on the retard level, well you really have to walk tall. i experienced all of that today when i put my 6 inch heel cupids on, and went down town. i heard some colored girls go: yo, check out the 1 o'clock. then i heard some other young girls following me through the mall, laughing! laughing with every step! i lost them at the escalators. then there were the old bags on the street. and then the super guys who want to save something... it just never ends. so. i just kept walking. stepped on someone's big old pink bubble gum with those dopey teenage girls gaggling. i just dont' care. what anyone says. so i keep on walking. and somehow, i think it kinda pisses them off. it pisses them cause i am the one walking in the highest heels of the city, but also, in heels these girls will never get their feet into. not now, and not anytime soon! so i guess, if i had to say, it must be jealousy. i can live with that. but gosh its a shit storm us guys who wear totally exposed ultra high heels, the stuff we have to go through to pave the way for you other cats who go out wearing lower heels and think that's something special.

been getting out with my black cupid boots this month, including a trip to the downtown this morning. lots of kooky stares from the folks on the streets and in the mall. i have to admit, i love looking into those big store front windows and seeing my reflection and those totally exposed 6 inch heels. i've also mustered the courage to venture out solo wearing my black boots from maya shoes with the 7.5 inch spike heel. wore them to the bar a couple of times and to the bank! those tellers couldn't take their eyes off them! anyway, the day is only half over, so i'm going out again with my cupids. i'll let you know if anything amusing happens.

it was a perfect day for high heel wearing yesterday and last night in montreal. great show too at the april fool's party with lots of very interesting outfits, costumes and scenes. i wore my white 7.5 inch heels i bought from Maya. i looked at my selection of white heels and picked the ones with the least visible footprint on the suede footbed! i put several hours in wearing those beauties and caught a few of the party goers giving them the once over! fun stuff!

i'm going to the april fool's bash tonight in montreal and am still unsure of what shoes to wear! too much of a selection in my closet!! perfect day for an outing, this could be one of those 7 to 9 hour high heel outings! let you know how it goes tomorrow when i'm back.

the snow is melting and the streets and sidewalks are free of ice and snow which means i can dust off my collection of heels and boots! i dusted off my black 7.5 inch heel boots on friday and went out for lunch with the lovely wife. we got to the restaurant and i saw a well dressed lady look me over and then gawk when she got to my spike heels in plain view. she even followed me up the stairs a short ways! later in the day i switched to my cupid boots with the 6 inch heels and hit a few of the busy places downtown. now that is always a lot of fun. i can tell you right now i'm going to get out way more often with my heels this year!

great story! especially the part about the bus! i remember doing that as well, getting up the courage to take the public transit wearing high heels in broad daylight, in plain view for all to see! that really ought to boost your courage for future outings. looking forward to reading more of your future adventures.

of course!

ha ha! what a joke!

i think what's his name waving that banner turned him away.

what great stories! i remember exactly when it happened to me! my sister had a pair of white strappy high heels with a platform, this was back in the seventies. i watched her wearing them many times but some how... and this is where the story turns magical, the shoes were left just inside my bedroom door. i was in either grade 6 or 7 at the time. of course i couldn't take my eyes off them and once the coast was clear i tried them on and loved it. at the time they were way too big, even though she wore women's size 7! then another sister, this was in the 80's, bought herself a pair of those wooden spike heels with a small vamp and strap, in black. those heels were 4 inches and certainly caught my attention. she rarely wore them but when she was out, i tried them and they fit beautifully. more than the fit, i loved how secure they felt on my feet! there was no give to them, no bending, no stretching, nothing! they were solid. and i loved that feeling. and of course the sound they made on the hardwood floors back home. or on the drive way when no one was around. i out grew them when i was 14 or 15 and never tried on another pair of heels until 1995, when i bought my first pair of 6 inch spike heels with a 2 inch platform from frederick's of hollywood! what a day that was! never looked back. especially after i took them outdoors and in public! what a blast its been ever since.
