I got an email from my friend in Stockholm today regarding this add. Apparently it was in the largest morning paper today with a full page add. There is a text next to the picture that roughly says "You need to visit new ground and break old rules to win. Like the tabu for men to wear heels, although it was popular in the 1700 centuary. Welcome to discover this seasons new styles and maybe your new you".

I was in Stockholm this week and saw an interesting add in the subway. I checked the website of that store when I came home and if you follow the link you'll see a "rolling" view of pictures of a male modell. Keep clicking to the right until you see a guy in a suit, coat and Jimmy Choo high heels. First time I've seen an add like this posted all over a city.

It seems like a strange gift for a collegue. I know I would feel uncomfortable if I would receive a pair of heels from a collegue, not to mention from my boss. If the heels are "sexy" rather then "normal" heels if you understand what I mean is it even more odd im my opinion. I am pretty sure his wife (guessing he is male) do not know of it and would most likely not approve if she knew about it. I think most women would think its odd if their husband bought other women heels. Buying gifts for birthdays are ofcourse ok, but giving heels or lingerie implies a secondary motive, if you are suspicous like me . My view Villoria

I might have been, but I cannot use heels at work, so I have no problems at all wearing flat shoes.

The bin for most shoes. Some I keep for sentimental value.

One of my friends like this group from South Korea. I really do not like their music but this video actually have some interesting cloths and heels in it, especially the first half of the song.

Yes. You look lovely.

Great looking shoes. I hope you'll have lots of fun wearing them.

Is anyone here serious about dancing?

I am heavily involved in the local dance scene. I do salsa, mambo, merengue, rumba, bachata, jive, tango as well as some samba. Between dance practice, socials and the occasional congress, I end up dancing a lot!

For a lot of the dances, you dance on the balls of your feet. You bounce on them a lot. I typically wear between 2" to 3" heels but when dancing for hours on end, the heels can exhaust me. Thus I dance in boots and I use layers of thick socks or layers of pantyhose to help lessen the strain on my ankles, knees and hips.

Villoria, Heidi, anyone else who dances, do you do that as well to alleviate the strain of heels for a long time?

Does anyone have any other tips for dancing in heels?

I only do club dancing with friends these days. I used to dance a lot together with a previous boyfriend. When we went out dancing did I usually wear dancing shoes, with a heel about 4-5 centimeters and the heels on those dancing shoes are not "spikes" but a bit wider.

I love knee high boots for dancing as well although I pair them with skirts and pantyhose instead of leather pants. Boots tend to have better cushioning, are more stable and do not have a tendency to fall off during complex dance moves. Also with boots, I can hide cushioning in them if I need to so it looks like I can dance in really tall heels when in fact I have layers of pantyhose and socks for padding LOL

Do you use cushioning in your boots when dancing as well?

Yes. I use socks while dancing, for the same purpose. It is a trade off between warmth and comfort.

What kind of boots do you usually wear?

Knee highs? Ankle boots? Sandal boots?

Favorite boots right now are knee high leather boots I use together with leather pants when I go out dancing.

Nice and a bit odd. Too bad I can't help you identify them.

It happens. Not very often though.

Not my thing at all, those shoes.

I do not like to put a label on myself, but I have had relationsships with both women and men and enjoyed both. I have to confess I more often find myself looking at women, since I think a women is overall more attractive. That also has to do with clothing of course, since women can and usually dress in a way that appeals me more then men.

I wear booths around the year, since our summers aint that warm compared to many other countries. I probably would wear my favorite boots during the summer even if I lived in a country with a warmer climate.

I really like your stockings. Thanks for sharing those pictures with us.

Thanks for sharing. I really like your shoes.

A swedish friend of mine sent me this link. She is a swedish actress, recently in the move "the girl with the dragon tatto". She looks quite different from the move, if you've seen it. The article is in swedish but I guess the picture speek for itself.

Looks like a pair of Pleaser ankle boots to me, Delight probably. Not sure of the number though. Villoria

Very nice shoes. Thanks for showing them.

Nice outfit and I like your shoes.

Very sexy shoes.

The shoes are very nice, but not something I am able to buy.

Not my style at all.
