Well today went to town to get anoher pair of my heels re-helled and went in the heels as per the below picture.

 

 

So 

Then went to my brothers Tattoo shop while i was waiting for my shoes to be sorted. His customer (a Lady in her early 50s) noticed my heels and said twice " like your heels" then said, i like diffreant.

then back to down to pick up my shoes. loads of people around and you could hear me coming miles away. from what i could see no reactions / comments.

Even had to stand at cash mechine to get money out and there was a few people haning around who clearly notice but nothing said.

So was a good outting. Hopefully we will go out soon for lunch

 

So cool...Have always wished that Nike or Asics would makes heels like this based off one of their classic designs...The other day, I was at the Timberland outlet and was thrilled to see that they actually do make some nice heeled boots...Block heels around 3-3.5"...  I'm so envious, glad you are having fun!

Those boots look amazing with the nice fitting levis, amazingly masculine and powerful....  Have fun!

Great looking boots!  I want to get a nice pair of stiletto ankle boots, very attractive and easy to pack...

I would say i'm not 100% confident i do have my feers, however my enjoyment is exceeding the slight confident issue.

My Partner, i would say is not 100% with my choice of shoes, however she no longer fights me and lets me get on with it now. Initally we both and a few upsets and then some days she would not allow me to wear. Now she just lets me get on with it.

I thought she might complain today due to the type of heel, but she said nothing and we got on with shopping at Tescos.

I'm sure you will get better also, I took the decision to always whear some form of heel Min 3" whebn going out in public, unless we are going somewhere where heels would not work. Like Fun Fair recently which is on a large grass field and did not want to get my heels dirty.

If we are going out shopping, dinner, family i will be in heels uptil now the below boot.

 

I have warn the below to tesco shopping before, just not that often. 2.35" Heel designed for men (hand made)

 

Well, she might not support your heels 100 percent, but she is a great partner because she is smart enough to let "you be you".  She realizes that this is a part of you that will not be changed, trying to change/deny you would just create a terrible divide on your relationship.  You are a lucky guy, wish she would talk to my partner....

Thanks for your kind comments VirginHeels and pebblesf means alot to me

for years i would wear a levi Jeans with a 30" Leg, when i first started wearing heels in public, i would wear a 32" Leg to hide the heel. When i told my family i decided i no longer had to hide the heels, so i went down to a 27" Leg jeans this causes the jeans to just sit nicely on top of the boot/ shoe and noot cover the heel at all.

Again been doing that for the past year with the left block heel boot. I found when i was trying to hide the heel, i was always checking to make sure it was hidden. Now that the heels are aways on show, i do not have to try to hide it, i dont bother checking. lol

My Missy Rockz  Heels ( The middle ones) are 8.5cm Heels, i have 5 pairs with one of them a 10cm heel. Still getting used to that extra hight as it does feel odd, the 4" block heel on the right are very easy to walk in. I did walk in London once agian with 27" Jeans on.

Ill post some more pics. One with todays upcoming outing to the BMW Service Centre, and one to show how my 4" Block heels look like with my jeans.

The My Missy Rockz  Heels ( The middle ones) do make the classic heel noise so does the 4" boots on the right.

 

Todays shoe "Missy Rockz  Heels" to BMW and straight to Tesco's to pick up some shopping

Will let you know how i get on. I'm not taking any other shoes with me so cannot chicken out lol

These are so comfy, I can walk for miles in these.

Wow, it was pissing down really heavy so parked the car in the BMW Car park and had to run (in heels) pic below to the BMW Showroom.

 

Non eventful, one guy noiced and then looked away

 

 

Then went to Tesco with my partner, she was wearing flats lol, no problem at all. Think i have falling in love with these shoes.

just a same it was raining so heavy.

 

 

Peterborough-  Sure sounds like you have got a handle on confident heeling buddy, seems like you are farther along than myself.  So happy you feel confident wearing the shorter jeans.  You look powerful and confident in those heels buddy.  I know things are going well for me when I'm out and about and actually forget I'm wearing my boots, so all worries/inhibitions/insecurities slip away.  I am thrilled you have a supportive partner, I'm sure she agrees that you look great.  To me, confidence in heels spells masculinity.  Enjoy you boots, you have worked hard to achieve confidence, and deserve all the great feelings that go along with it....

It's amazing how easy my 4.5" stiletto boots are to walk in, and comfortable also.  The only down side is that the heel tips wear out often, I guess I need to learn how to replace them myself.  I have finally worn out these boots, because I wear them most often.  I'm so happy I have found a few more pairs....

Ok, so first on the left, is my usual boot for going out in public for the past year, never any shoes or boots with no heel.

then today was the second from the left to the pub, and a quick walk with the 3rd from the left

its how the shows make me feel (feet feel) when walking in the two from the right.

I went to be able to wear any type of heel and to anywhere.

Peterborough:  It would appear as though you well on your way buddy.  You have been wearing those block heeled boots on the left for sometime now, so I am thinking your skills and confidence are pretty good already.  The relatively low stiletto boot in the middle is probably very easy to walk in, appears to have the same heel height as the block heeled boots you are used to wearing.  The boots on the right appear to have a slightly higher block heel, but probably still fairly easy to walk in.  I usually wear my boots with jeans/levis that partially cover the heels.  The heels are visible but not really noticeable unless someone is going out of their way to look.  I'm assuming both of the new pairs have relatively quite heels/soles as well.  You have been wearing the boots on the left for sometime now, so I'm sure you have discovered that most people are too busy to even notice.  The same will be true for your new boots buddy.  Just be sure you can walk confidently in both pairs before going out in crowded places...People will notice if you are fumbling, or stumbling while walking though....

Go for it buddy, great looking boots!

Ok, So i have been into  heels size 2017 and all my family know.

When i go out in public, i usually wear a 3" Block Heel, my friend got me to whear the below heel (picture taken today) when i went out to a local Pub for dinner.

These are a 3" heel Trainer. I was always way too nervious / shy to wear they type of heel in public. now i have done it, i want to do it again.

 

Got to take my car tomorrow to BMW for a service, I plan on wearing them.

Those boots look great with the levis, powerful and confident...

Yes. I still want to wear them.  I guess it is just a habit. I have 2 pairs and I wanna have a third like winter/automn black boots.  Feeling I have enough and would have too much if I continue to buy.  Still affraid of the other`s eyes. Fear to be recognized my job people and others. I was less affraid when I was wearing them often a year.

I understand, we all have had these fears, don't feel alone.  It is always best to keep your personal life separate from your work life, so I would never recommend wearing heels to work.  Find some nice used riding boots with modest heels, and wear them while driving or shopping.  You will feel better, no one will notice...  Start slowly, building your confidence.  Take care buddy...

Been hiding heels for long time.  Wore once with wife and went well.  Well now we are empty nesters,   Other day she went to office and I stayed home.  While home I wore my heels.  But this time I left them out for her to see when got home. Response was positive.  Hope to wear them more.  Outside may be a stretch with her for some time. But that’s ok.  
 

 

COOL!  She sounds like a great wife indeed...Give her a little time.

I was walking through my neighborhood a number of years ago, which is near a college, and I was stopped by an earnest young man and his girlfriend. He was genuinely curious about my reasons for wearing such outlandish garb. Back then, and I can put a rough date on this because I can remember exactly what I was wearing, at least from the waist down. This was back in 2014, probably about this time of year. I was experimenting with skinny jeans, or at least slim jeans, for the first time. Up until then, I had worn boot cut jeans in an attempt to sort of hide my heels. I can clearly remember that on one of my first outings in skinny jeans, I get flagged down by some kid who wants to talk.

At the time, I was not nearly as comfortable with myself as some people would have you believe. When people would make comments, as did happen from time to time, I usually panicked to some degree or other and became tongue tied. Or in this case, said stuff that didn't come out quite the way I intended. At the abrupt end of our conversation, the young man asked me something to the effect of, "Well, I suppose you like the attention you get with those shoes." My answer, which was heartfelt but unintentionally harsh, was "Actually, the complete opposite is true. I really wish people would leave me the hell alone." The young man looked rather crestfallen and wished me a good evening. That was kind of a dick move on my part, wasn't it?

Well, I am certainly not as far along on the public heeling spectrum as you, somewhere in the middle I guess.  But, I still get somewhat tongue tied/shell shocked when people comment/compliment me.  Usually regret not engaging in more conversation other than just saying "thankyou".  I know you didn't mean to be abrupt with the young man, you were just making a point that came out abruptly....Too bad he couldn't read it now, maybe he is a member here....Oh well, this stuff happens to all of us...

Budget Ukrainian airline swaps high heels for trainers - BBC News

It's amazing how much difference shoes make.  To me, in this outfit, it is the difference between an airline uniform and a prison uniform.  

 

 

Wish I could wear my high heel boots while working for sure...

Like many others here, I was young, probably 11-12, not only did I have mom's shoes but two older sisters.  I only really played around and wore them for short periods when nobody else was home, but that didn't last that long.  They didn't really fit me by the time I turned 13, and am not sure I was really hooked yet, it was a just fun little novelty at that point.

It wasn't until about 2 years later, 14, maybe 15.  It was my best friends sister, I had a huge crush on her, she was hot and wore fantastic 4 inch heels pretty much all the time.  I had a lot of sleep overs at my friends house and occasionally had opportunities to check out her closet, try things on, etc.  I wear women's size 10, and she had tons of pairs that were 9 and 9.5, many of which fit me just fine.  She had one pair of 4 inch white pumps that I am sure she forgot about, they were buried in the back of her closet, buried under a mountain of other things and were scuffed and not in the best of shape and I thought, "she wouldn't miss these", so I ended up taking them home (not proud of that), but that was really my first pair of heels and I was hooked now.

I still didn't have the courage to buy my own pair until I was probably 17 or so.  I kept a pretty small collection/stash that I wore mostly in private until I met my future wife, about 10 years later, who was very understanding and open to my experimentation.  Well, that opened the flood gates.  I wear heels more often than not, and my collection now is really just excessive and I have a hard time keeping it from just getting completely out of control.  She has occasionally expressed some unhappiness with it over the years, but for the most part she still supports my quirks   

Not proud of doing the same type of covert boot wearing while at friends homes....  Sounds like you have a great wife indeed...

I started wearing my mother’s boots at around 5 years old, as I got into my teens i used to smuggle them out for trips to town until I started work which was when i started buying my own boots, been buying and wearing boots ever since and I’m 58 next month lol, don’t think anything of wearing heeled boots out in public and couldn’t imagine my life without them 

One of the benefits of age I guess.  The older I get, the less I care about what others think...Or even more importantly, what I perceive others are thinking about me....

YIPES!!

Hello Everyone,

I'm delighted to sign up to HH Place to converse, ask questions and give some opinions. I hope I can help with other people's questions too.

I have been wearing women's shoes nearly every day now for over 17 years; it truly is one of life's joys! I am male, but once I slip on a pair of heels I feel all woman! I know I'm not, but hey! Classic pointy toe stilettos are my absolute favourites, which I usually team up with a skirt or leggings, stockings and sometimes a gold ankle chain. More often than not I wear a nice nail polish too. I feel very blessed to have small and very feminine feet, which are just ideal for high heels. I guess having flexible ankles helps too;-) And I love to keep my feet looking great with regular foot care (filing, exfoliating, moisturising etc), which is also necessary for my website. I love to pose! Apart from posing, I created the website and Youtube channel as a kind of record of all my shoes etc. I lost or deleted all the pictures from my early days, which is a shame really. Still, some of these shoes have a good few years wear on them!

So hopefully I can contribute a bit of experience and have some interesting chats on here.

Anyway, I hope I haven't blethered on too long!

SharpHeelz.

Great to have you here buddy, looking forward to your guidance and advice....Don

I'm not afraid to admit it, I love watching mindless TV shows like "Vanderpump Rules".   Yeah, I know, it's phony stuff staged for ratings, but I watch this stuff just the same...

I have always admired "Tom Sandoval", he takes great pride in his appearance, and always puts pleny of effort into all his outfits.  I'm not crazy about Tom's drag outfit, he has done better, but he is killing it in those ankle boots!

I'm on Pinterest?  I found out in 2015 that raising my heel by about 4 inches changed how my hip works.  The pain I had been living with for 12 years dramatically reduced.  And the pain quickly returned when I tried to return to flat shoes.  So I basically wear heels almost all time.

The injury that lead to wearing heels was rather sever and I couldn't stand or walk without heels for over 5 months.  At the beginning I would hide my heels with long pants, but I got to the point I wanted to wear knee high boots and hiding them under pants was hard. And if I going to wear a $200 suede boot I'm sure don't want to hide. So pre-pandemic I would wear my heels with skinny pants and some days with knee high boots.

I am also not interested in marketing my heels on social media at this time.

You're the man alright!  Would love to hang out with you sometime, hopefully will develop the courage to wear my boots loud and proud just the way you do....
