BoyLegs: Those are the nicest MaryJanes I've seen. Is there any chance you could tell me wear to get a pair in size 15?
I wish.
-
None for me, thanks.
-
Depending on the maker and the height, I may be able to wear a 13W or I may need a 14 or even 15. I prefer pumps, mary janes and T-straps. I like pointed toes best, but I also like round toes and peep-toes. I don't like to see too much bare foot; just a hint. Heel heights vary, but thin heels are best. And bright colors are always welcome. I don't have all these shoes — but I'd like to!

What about mary janes?
-
Red patent pumps are from Barefoot Tess and have 2.5" heels. White pumps are Fitzwell, from Zappos, and have 4" heels. Yes, I do love my pointed toes.

Most of my wife's shoes are gorgeous. Some she bought, some I bought for her, some we picked out together. There are a few that she bought that I don't like; some I bought for her she doesn't really like. Most of the time, though, our tastes line up.

I need at least a 13W, depending on the maker. I recently bought these at Shoe Express and am quite pleased with them.

Very odd Indeed.

If you go in there, you too can be an object of derision:

There was a time when men were able to wear the more dainty and flowery items of clothing that are now considered part of the feminine selections only. What happened to society that caused this attitude and perception of masculine attire?
I'll speculate that when women started moving from their socially viewed sub-servient roles to take on the roles dominated by men, society felt they had to magnify and promote the gender gap. Women being like men was a hard concept for many people to cope with, especially in our western European influenced type patriarchal system. Athough women were successful in their ability to accomplish the same things men do, the thought that men could think like women was just too demeaning in this social atmosphere, since women were still considered sub-servient and not as good as men. So, a man wanting to exemplify any female tendencies or appearances continues to be viewed as, at the least, demeaning if not as perversive.
Well, maybe if the Cavaliers had won the English Civil War, upper-class men would still be going around in their colorful silks. As it was, the Puritans disdained the ostentatious and ornamental in favor of the restrained and utilitarian. The sin of pride, you know.
In the leading European nations (at least Britain and France), the highly stylized men's clothing of the late middle ages and early renaissance gave way long before any notion of women as equals arrived. Prior to the change, an upper-class man dressed in a way that made it obvious he did nothing for himself. Spanish grandees wore boots with soles so thin that they would have worn through if you walked across the yard to get the horse.
There is a watershed event in each of these nations that shifts fashion away from that. It becomes necessary to be less obvious that a gentleman is a decorative item. In Britain, the Civil War marks the turning point. In France, it is the Revolution. Indeed, the Revolutionary-Imperial period turns over European fashion generally. Men stop wearing stockings shortly after Waterloo.

Or Sam Goldwyn: "I won't tolerate yes men. I want people who will tell me the truth even if it costs them their jobs."

I especially liked the mary janes.

Because they can.

Those are sweet.

When I was growing up I heard this joke: The difference between a neurotic and a psychotic is that a neurotic has crazy ideas in his head, but a psychotic acts on them. In the privacy of your own head you can think anything you want to. If you need to think about shoes during the sex act, have at it. At the same time, in reading your posting I think you question whether shoes are worth ruining a relationship over. And women do understandably bristle if they feel that you're more interested in something they're wearing than in them. Often, a woman also has fantasies of her own, that she's had from early childhood, about being with a particular kind of man who would interact with her in a certain way. Usually the man does not wear high heels in the fantasy. The possibility exists that you might find a woman who can accomodate you within limits. You know from previous experience that if she gives you an inch, you'll take a mile (right?). If you coach her to set limits, like "not more than once a month with the heels," would that work? Then again, if we set up an imaginary dating game, where bachelorette #1 was loving and caring but wore crocs all the time while bachelorette #2 was a bitch on wheels but wore gorgeous stilettos, who would you choose? (I think you can see I have given this subject considerable thought prior to reading your post.) In reading your mail, I am also getting a sense that you are developing a tolerance, kind of like an addict who needs an ever-larger hit to get high. Soon it isn't going to be fun anymore — maybe you've already reached that point. You've got plenty to think about, and it isn't easy. I wish you the best however you proceed.

I have tried e-bay and found numerous pairs, but not the ones I crave. I am looking for a 4 inch heel, non platform black shoe, single strap in size 13
How about these? They also are available in black, and I recommend the vendor.

I could settle for these from J. Renee if they came in my size.

Susan's making the effort, and I applaud her for that (Even if she has handlers to suggest what to wear, she has to be the one who agrees to wear it). I watched the video and read the article from the mail, and I like all the shoes she's wearing. What do you think some of the women you see on TV would have for faces by the time they're 40 if they hadn't gone to Thailand for an "adventure vacation" ? You go, Susan!

Kiran has legs that won't quit, and I love her shoes.

I like your pumps. I expect you could get away with shaving your feet up to the ankle.

As in Fall and Rise of ...? Or are there new stories?That program was dire... had to watch Reggie Perrin instead...

I like those.

few women wear stiletto heels.
While there might be more today than 10 years ago, it's still a distinct minority here in Rochester,NY.
I'd guess no more than 20-30% of the females, regardless of the age bracket, work, business or social occasion.
Is it because of how they look,how they feel, or a combination, or something else?
In addition to everything else that has been said, there are geographic differences.
Some geographies are highly competitive, others more relaxed. In some places, people wrinkle their noses at ostentatious display.
So NYC, in addition to having more people to begin with, will have a higher proportion of better dressed women than Rochester.
I would also expect Albany, which is a state capital and more closely coupled to New York and Boston (and even Montreal), to have a higher proportion of better dressed women than Rochester, which is a little more out of the way.
Having said that, these are all generalizations and there are personal variations. I was visiting a large company in Rochester about ten years ago. The women who were hosting the visit both wore heels. During the visit, we went to a part of the facility where, due to the manufacturing process being used, there were these funny black rubber mats with round holes the size of nickels all over the floor. Both women walked on these mats in their heels without difficulty.
