Wore these new Bed Stü boots for the first time today. I started the day with the jeans tucked into them but decided I liked the look of the jeans over them in the end. Heel is about 3.5” and pretty easy to walk in

Great looking boots, love how perfectly the jeans fit also

I like the look of them and they fit well, but they are a cheap boot. I scuffed the hell out of one toe already. Of course they are man made uppers so not sure what I am going to do to repair them.

Yes, I asked the seller, they replied that they were man made materials...

If you are quoting him accurately (i.e. 'would never' is correct), it appears that he was speculating about not being able to find heels in his size 11s.   But, if he said (or meant) 'could never', that would suggest that he was interested enough to have shearched, but without success.   As you never had the chance to continue the conversation, we shall never know the extent of his interest, but he sounds like a potential recruit to the cause!

Well, I'm sure my "quotes" are not 100 percent accurate....  But, I know he meant that he had a men's size 11 shoe and that he was "guessing/assuming" that finding his size (women's 13) stilettos would be difficult...  Wish I had the chance to talk more with him, but like I say, he was called away to help a hotel guest.  Will surely look for him the next time I'm in town.

We do irony, but only in Facebook memes.

It pains me to no end to interrupt this banter--sometimes HHP is at its best when we're not discussing shoes--but I have an announcement to make: I have actually bought a pair of boots. I know, I know, unbelievable, but there is actual winter here in Iowa, and I'm not up to the level of that Snow Maiden woman from Togliatti, Russia.

Vince Camuto boots, 4 inch heel, no platform. They fit a little bit better in the shaft than my other boots, which is good. I paid 100 bucks for them on Poshmark. I haven't actually worn them anywhere yet, but I can already tell it will be no problem when I do. Sometimes it's good to back off on the heel height a little bit for the sake of utility.

Great looking boots that fit your legs nicely...

Stunning indeed! Love the stiletto heel.

Thanks buddy!  I even got another compliment the second day I wore them out and about....Walking by a hotel one of the male doormen asked if I "was having trouble finding my way around"...  I replied that I was doing OK, just took a few extra laps to finally find the food store.  He then went on to comment:  ".....wearing those heels must be uncomfortable stomping around on the city streets...".   I replied that they were actually pretty comfortable and felt nice.  The young man then went on to admit that "....he had always wanted to try out a cool pair of stilettos, but would never find them in his size 11 shoe."  I replied that larger sizes are a little harder to find but he should look on ebay, or at asos/onlymaker.  The young man was then called away by one of his hotel guests so the conversation ended.  Oh well, was very cool having a guy being brave enough to admit he wanted to wear heels...

Our story is well documented in the early pages in the archives of this site. Long story, short.  I met my wife on our first day in college.  I confessed my heeling habit as soon as it became apparent that we were going to  more than just a college romance and that she deserved to know what she was getting.  After a couple of months reflecting upon the issue, she decided that she could live with it.  We both were 19 years old at that time and got married the following July, at the end of our Freshman year.  She passed away a couple of years ago leaving a giant empty space in my (our) lives.

So sorry Bubba.........

That was a decade ago, when she had some platforms. Today there are only 2 or 3 pairs left. But platforms could be another thread.

Odd left field joke, explain as it seems nobody got it.

Pebblesf, nice looking boots, enjoy them. Hope the rear fitted heels hold up for you.

I really do like the look and fit of this style heel...But, like any other stiletto, I'm sure I will be replacing the heel tips often and will only get a couple of years out of the boots...  But that is OK, I am really enjoying them and they would very reasonably priced for brand new nine west boots...

I ran across these the other day, curious how they will hold up as they are not real leather, but I love the style. Mata Slayer boots

Thanks Cali!  I even got a compliment while strolling around.  While waiting for the light to turn, a young man said"  "I like your kicks....".  I thanked him, then he said:  "...they look like something Prince would wear".  I modestly accepted the compliment but added that Prince was certainly an inspiration to me.

Thanks to you both again for your time.

If she waned to go out  in PJ's, would not bother me at all. She would be the one wearing them.

I'll keep posting any developments and hopefully not all will be that bad.

OK, well how about if she wanted to go to church in CROCS....That's gotta bother you....

Well, I focused on your partner saying she thought that your heels "were just a phase".....  One she thought would fade away.  Well her gamble failed, it hasn't, and like all of us here know, it never will.... I know none of us wants to have our wardrobe dictated/inspected.  But, in a relationship, we need to consider how our partners feel to a certain extent.  How would you feel if your partner wanted to go to church in pajamas and flip flops?  Please know I am not equating our heels to pajamas and flip flops, just showing an extreme example where you might not be happy with her outfit choice and would probably say something to her about it.  I think you and your partner need to talk more, hopefully you can work some sort of compromise out that is satisfactory to your both.  If not, then maybe she is not the girl for you, sorry.  You mention that you don't have much "alone time" to wear the thin heels you want to wear, this is something to mention in your discussion with her.  

As for your brother, yes, I can understand his concern for his kids not getting teased or bullied.  Kids are cruel, and many things in life just aren't "fair".  I guess it is all about compromises.  So, for the most part, I would do my best to understand and comply with his wishes.  Once the kids are older, they are better equipped to accept you as you are and not be bothered by what others think or say...But, we can all remember being young kids, the school yard can be a pretty tough place...And now, with the interweb, kids get teased 24-7.  On the other hand, your brother might just be transposing his insecurities onto his kids, using the kids for an excuse.  Probably a little of both.  

Finally, I want to commend you for being open about your heels to your partner and family, this is so important...A risk for sure, but worth it.  I can't wear any of my heels around my partner, rely on my job and traveling for my heel time....

Best of luck with this tough situation...Don

i do have a quesiton,

Shoud you let a partner decide what you wear or not?

I'm kind of stuck on this.

I also have my nails painted since 2013 (we been togeaher since 2008) we get used to get our nails done together at a solon and when we moved area, we found someone who is really good and comes to our house and does both our nails.

The other day, she said to me, I would prefer you not to have your nails done and wear heels, but i know you will not listen to me, she got used to the block heels but refuses to let me wear the thin heels in public with her.

She also said that, there will times that she would want me to wear trainers (not any heel)

it does annoy me that wormen can wear what they like but seem so controlling when it comes to men. (yet if i said to her, dont wear that, i would be controlling)

Example.

My Sister-inlaw I asked her whould she let my broher wear heels or have his nails painted if he wanted to and she said NO, no chance. Yet she does what she wants.

I said to my partner, if i cannot wear heels when i wish or keep my nails done which i have done non-stop since 2013 then ill be unhappy just to please her. (I have agreed (not happy) not to wear the thin heels)

Another issue (kind of)
All the family knows about my heels.

The oher day, i was out shopping in heels, and my brother invited us over for dinner. His daugher (11) had a new friend other which did not know about my heels so i was told to take them off.

my parter said, i would have to walk from the car to my brohers house (20 meters) with no shoes on as i did not have any other shes with me.

My stance on that is im an adult why should i go bear foot from the car to his house, like my partner wanted me too. In the end i walked to his house in the heels and took them off at the door step.

I do kind of feel, i cannot be my true self fully.

Am i being unfair / wrong here?

 

Well, not totally unfair for sure.  Relationships are hard, that is for sure...I wish someone would teach my better half how to "pick his battles".  After awhile, I just tune him out which upsets him even more.  In your case, seems like your partner is getting more restrictive on you than she once was.  Relationships are all about compromise, so the trick is finding a compromise acceptable to you both.  Does she not like how you  look in heels?  Or, is she just to concerned about what others might think?  Time to have a calm conversation with her...

You look amazing in those boots, the stilettos must take a beating on those roads though...Love you outfits, love wearing my boots and levis.  I just got a new pair of stiletto booties, can't wait to try them out in Phoenix on Monday...

My parter tells me she does not want me to wear the thin heels in public anymore. She said it’s not normal.

So sorry buddy....But, at least she is alot more accepting than most....You are very lucky...Wear you thicker heels with her and save the stilettos for solo trips....Don't let her upset you with the "not normal" comment...She means no harm, just her inner insecurities coming out....

I think more of us need to take video. Very, very few have, and I'm among the many. The walk is not bad, not bad at all!

I would love to make more videos, just don't have the capabilities....Accept when a bootbud is along to help...

Thanks everyone for the contined support and kind words.

Todays outings was with the below jeans / heels.

1) First ever outing in public alone
This was both fun and also a little nervious. my first outing in heels like this even with the classic heel sounds that they make.

a) went to the vets to drop off something for one of our cats
b) Went to get fuel for the car
c) Went to Tesco shopping to pickup some flowers for my partner, she loved them.
 

2) Pub Meal
My Partner, myself and friend went to a pub for lunch

3) Back to the Vets

My Partner, myself, went back to the vets to drop off sample from one of our cats

 

All 3 outgings where in the above heels with the show on show as per the pic above. No Comments at all i am actually wanting someone to comment now lol.

Kind of a double edge sword for sure....On the one hand, we don't really want to "stick out" enough to attract everyone's attention....But, on the other hand, getting a compliment now and again really is a confidence booster.  Those heels look great with the jeans, did anyone comment/compliment you?  How about at the vet's?  Keep in mind that most folks don't want to make a fuss, generally trying to be polite, doesn't mean they didn't notice.

** Unicorn Sighting **

Today at the doctor's office one of the receptionist had booties with about a 1 inch platform and a 5+ inch heel.

 

Of course, I had my black knee highs boots on.

Yeah buddy, lovin those boots!

OK, well I think you are right, your brother is very insecure.  He may "fear" that he has the same genes as you, and perhaps that might lead to wearing heels or the silly assumptions that usually goes along with it.  Or, perhaps your brother is secretly envious, because he really wants to wear heels but just doesn't have the courage to do so..Either way, do your best to ignore him.  

Like I said, your partner sounds like a great lady indeed, must have learned tolerance and acceptance from her parents.  They are secure, and want you to be you, and obviously feel you are a good partner.  

Finally, cut your friends a little slack...Surely, it is much easier to accept others that you have no relationship with...I don't know how to phrase this properly, so forgive my attempt:  your heel wearing has no reflection on them.  So, it is easy for them to be accepting.  Having a partner or spouse who wears heels could be perceived as a reflection on themselves...Not at all fair, but understandable.  Or, perhaps they would find it to be a complete "turn off", who knows.  The important thing is that your friends are accepting and unafraid to be with you while you wear heels in public.  

Societal pressures and notions are hard to ignore sometimes.

Those will rarely draw attention.  You will get more reaction from children (because they are looking low most of the time) who will tell their parents. But when you get knee highs and wear them on the outside of your pants, people WILL notice.

This is the level of heeling I aspire to for sure....Tucking my jeans inside my boots has been a tough hurdle indeed, but one I so want to conquer

since wearing heels i always thought everyone will notice. wish i had the experence i have now, back in 2017.

I got the bug now for sure and the love for heels. Don't think i will be buying any non-heels anymore lol

We all have suffered from this disease for sure....It is hard to believe that most people are just to busy or wrapped up in what they are doing to notice our shoe choices, but it is true
