I'll be there - in 4inch heels
Don't like to bring bad news but I think you've missed it.

....I noticed they are in the website "women's section" available up to size 43.
It is the first time I see very nice looking boots available up that size....!
Almost all styles from Next are available up to EU43. My (limited) experience suggests that the sizing is generous. I normally take UK9/EU43. I have a pair of EU43 ankle boots from Next and I need to use insoles. I tried on a pair of these in a store recently size EU42 and they seemed to be the right size. http://www.next.co.uk/shopping/women/shoesandboots/23/6?extra=sch&n=women&pid=725-845&returnurl=%2fshop%2fattdesignfeature-clog-gattgender-women-cat-boots-cat-wellies-0%3fx%3d1%26nxti%3d0%26nxtv%3d0%23725-845&bct=%26quot%3bShop%20By%20Product%26quot%3b%26nbsp%3b%26gt%3b%26nbsp%3bClog%26nbsp%3b%26gt%3b%26nbsp%3bWomen%26nbsp%3b%26gt%3b%26nbsp%3bBoots%26nbsp%3b%26gt%3b%26nbsp%3bWellies

Short length of chain. Under the arch, crossed over in front of the ankle and padlocked behind the ankle. Obviously this doesn't work with wedges. For shoes with a buckle you can sometime put a small padlock through the next hole in the strap.

....I can't remember ever seeing anyone in real life real time bicycling in high heels.....
In Amsterdam you'll see women routinely cycling in high heels.
Locally to me in north London there's one older woman who I've seen quite a few times cycling in platform boots with about 3" plats. She looked quite small and the effect was just plain odd looking.

A recent thread in the Girls' section mentioned one of many sites selling fake Louboutins. http://www.hhplace.org/girls/17949-next_purchase.html
I know we have debated the rights and wrongs of this elsewhere but at the very least, please be aware that these sites are selling fakes and use your own judgement.
Googling fake louboutin gives many hits, for example:

May not be available outside the UK.
Seems that flipflops and wellies are amongst the least safe footwear for driving.
-
AEE being what??
I didn't know either but as usual GIYF. Not sure if the mods would think it entirely appropriate for this forum.
-
I don't like clogs, but the shop has some decent pairs of hhs. Too bad it's another store in the US. *jealous*
Available in the UK and will probably ship to EU: http://www.office.co.uk/womens/jeffrey_campbell/charlie_heeled_clog/37/8971/23497/1/ There may be other EU based suppliers.
-
First give them a good clean and polish. Possibly use saddle soap or other leather cleaner on them though some fine leathers might not look quite so good after this. For the insides try bicarbonate of soda. It's sold for deodourising things and I've used it with success on stale smells in cushions and suchlike.

He will be totally anonymous amongst all the thousands of other guys wearing heels.

He is a safe pair of hands.
In an HH forum shouldn't that be a safe pair of feet:smile:
Dishlem, if you are size UK9 and not too far away you can see and try some of my pairs of HH before you decide what sort of things to buy. I can't claim a huge collection but it may give you some inspiration.
-
I'm in North London. No problem having stuff delivered here and would be happy to meet you.

Eventually got them in brown as they were out of stock of black, despite still having them on their website. They run a bit small. I can wear them comfortably enough but my heels overhang the back slightly which isn't very aesthetically pleasing. Not sure if stretching will do the trick as the footbed is barely long enough to accomodate my foot. Got to decide whether to keep them or return them in the next couple of days. It's a tough decision as I really like them. If I keep them I'll probably dye them black.
-
I've ordered them in black. I'll post again when they arrive to say whether they fit or not.

Try Next they have some very similar and they go up to 43.
I've seen the Next clogs but none of the simple open back designs are plain leather.
I'm tempted to order the Kate Kuba clogs anyway. If they don't fit all I've risked is the return postage.
-
These were the shoes I was thinking of buying. Is there likely to be a bit more latitude with clogs than with other styles?

Does anyone have any experience with Kate Kuba shoes? They are one of those compnies that equates women's UK8 to EU41 and men's UK8 to EU42. http://www.katekuba.co.uk/pages.php?pID=9 Does anyone know if they come up big or small?
Hoping that their UK8 stands a chance of fitting me. In mens shoes I'm a smallish UK9/EU43, UK8/EU42 OK in some styles. The old Faith size 9 fitted nicely with a little room to spare

For sales withinthe EU the vendor should charge VAT at the rate in his country unless the buyer is VAT registered and puts the VAT number on the order. For sales from within the EU to outside the EU no VAT should be charged. I have seen several websites (not necessarily shoe retailers) where this is done automatically though I can't recall any particular ones at present. If an EU based vendor isn't VAT registered in his home country then there is no difference between sales to EU and elsewhere. I don't know if there are any special VAT arrangments for trade between the EU and EFTA areas. This would include Norway and Switzerland.

So Hardeep does appear to make exceptions for his rule.
I think he is just a bit worried about his image and perhaps a bit confused. That would be true for many of here at HHP and indeed anyone who has wondered whether to push sartorial boundaries. We often draw parallels with when women first wore trousers or with men wearing earrings. Both are now mainstream but the pioneers were presumably either bold, in some doubt or both.
-
As the OP of this thread may I politely ask that the OT stuff is done elsewhere.
Hardeep Singh Kohli is a well known broadcaster here in the UK. He has occasionally caused controversy.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hardeep_Singh_Kohli
IMO, the interview was a sane and useful look at men wearing heels. It's good to hear the subject discussed in a reasonable and measured way rather than a "isn't this weird" or "wow look at him" way. I knew before I heard the programme that HSK had done some CD/drag stuff so I was a little surprised to hear his point of view. He's not in the same league as Eddie Izzard, either doing CD or as a comedian:smile:

Welcome from another London based heel lover. Thanks especially for a good and informative introduction. Only about a dozen pairs of HH at my house, mainly boots. I'm about half a size bigger than you which makes it just a little harder to find nice heels that fit well. Like you, I'm fortunate in having a supportive partner who likes seeing me in heels though she isn't much of a heel wearer herself.

Help!
in For the guys
Posted
Welcome.
First and foremost, you're not alone, there's lots of us who've been in your sort of position and we're happy to help. Sexual orientation has nothing to do with wanting to wear HH. We're probably straight and gay in roughly the same proportion as the general population.
One way to start with HH is low and unisex in appearance. It helps if you're feet are no bigger than UK9/EU43 since mainstream women's shoes are readily available up to that size. For example I've got a pair of these ankle boots (alsa no longer available) which have a 2.75" heel and are very comfortable. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Hush-Puppies-Ladies-Ester-Boot/dp/B000TZMN88 I think the only comment you would get from your girlfriend is that you had a nice new pair of boots.
Since you're a new member you won't yet have full use of all HHP facilities. After 7 days and 5 posts (I think) you'll have access to search, photo posting etc. In the meantime have a browse around the threads. There are some guys who wear amazingly high heels virtually all the time, some who wear them purely in private and all shades in between.
One final thought, please remember we're primarily a fashion and fashion freedom forum. Yes of course many of us find HH sexy, both to look at and to wear but we don't discuss anything too intimate. It's just not that sort of forum.
