My girlfriend didn't seem to have any suitable boots for winter here to at least attempt to keep her warm and dry. Well the dry part is achievable but I don't know about the warm. Anyways, one of the big department stores at the mall was having a long running sale on boots of all types. I told her we were going to go get her some winter boots. For the record the previous fall I took her to the mall to find some sexier boots without saying why we were going there at Journeys. So we're looking for the winter boots amongst all of the other boots which I can't help but scope out. We did find something she seemed to like and bought a pair. Meanwhile I go online later to look at the boot that caught my attention, these:
Only two stores in the area had them in an 11 so I went to the one less close to home. It was fairly busy at the shoe department and I ended up with a gentleman waiting on me after I found the boot on display to show what I wanted. He obviously recognized they were for me as he asked if I wanted a wide. I already knew the boot didn't come in a wide and for some reason I kept saying black since that was the color I wanted like he was saying the white instead of wide. Nerves obviously. I paid for them and left the store. I'm not brave enough to try them on in the store. But I was anxious to try them on and did so in the parking lot in my Explorer. Since they were only an 11, I knew that I couldn't wear socks in them and fortunately they fit nicely. The shaft was even large enough to wear over my blue jeans. My argument for getting these was that the black pair I had bought a year ago for playtime with my girlfriend were breaking down and becoming unstable. These felt much more solid and looked better too.
My girlfriend has a thing for ass-less chaps and so I have them in black and red naugahyde, a low priced imitation leather. The big unveiling was to quickly get into costume with the chaps and new boots when she was in the bathroom before going to bed. I hadn't been in costume for quite a while as I'd been doing a lot of hard labor in the yard so it was a double surprise for her. Needless to say it went well. I pointed out that the shaft size was roomy as she has large calves and most boot do not fit her. We'd only found the one pair a year ago which fortunately are very sexy over the knees. So she tried mine on and I asked if she liked them and wanted her own. As always she wanted to try them on at the store first so off we went to the mall. She's only a 6.5 so the shaft was smaller but still fit her though snugly. And she picked the cognac color instead of the black since her other boots were black. I've been hoping that she'd wear them out on a dinner date with me but that hasn't happened yet. Boots for playtime at the house so far.
Next time I costumed up for her, since she likes it so much, she put on the black OTK boots. They have a 5 inch stilleto heel with hidden 1 inch platform and an almond toe with a very, very hot shape. They really get my attention. We had great fun as usual, but afterwards I was still thinking how I wished I had a pair of boots like her black ones. Here is a link to them:

Unfortunately they are no longer available, so since Jouneys seems to be approaching Wild Pair selection, I kept looking through the website. And I found these:
http://www.journeys.com/shi/product.aspx?id=195156
I picked a size 11 and checked store availability. Fortunately I found a store that had them but it was the closest store to me. I'm still nervous about someone I know seeing me buying boots when they are for me. But I really wanted these for some reason. My girlfriend raved about how comfortable and warm her boots were in addition to how sexy I thought they looked. So I'm off to the Journeys store at the mall after work. It's a Tuesday night so it's empty in spite of the holiday season. I'm looking through the boots n display and don't see it. About that time a high school girl pops out from behind the counter and asks if I need help. Of course I do, but of course I've forgotten the name of the boot since I was expecting to find it. And my description of a tall, high heeled black boot doesn't seem to help either. I start to look it up online on my phone not realizing she is doing the same at the counter machine. She quickly finds the first tall black boot which happens to be the Plaze. I tell her that's it and I want an 11. Now the gears are turning but I don't know if she's decided they're for me or not. She seems surprised they come that big and that they have a pair. They do and she goes in the back to fetch them. By now the other counter girl is helping some high school girl with something, but the store is still empty otherwise. She shows them to me in the box at the counter where I was waiting. I wonder what she would have done if I had waited by the chairs for trying them on? Probably was a good opportunity to find out, but I wasn't brave enough to do it. The platform and heel are shinier than the photo which I wasn't expecting, but I still want them so I pay for them and head to the parking lot.
Once back in my Explorer I once again open the box to immediately try them on. Again the shaft is large enough to comfortably go over jeans and they fit even better than the Phantom boots from JCP. I did get brave enough to open the door so I could stand in them beside the truck. They feel great and I am so wearing these home. I haven't been a big fan of platforms in the past and am having to adjust to that with driving. Getting a smooth application of the gas is a challenge and the 5.5 inch heel is definitely there. So it's a little awkward going at first which hopefully isn't too obvious. Traffic is light, but I have a 20 minute drive home and need to go through one upscale bedroom community noted for strictly enforcing the speed limit. Needless to say I'm trying to be on my best behavior to avoid any potential embarrassment. I'm getting a little better with the new boots and am almost through the area of concern. I pass a cop sitting in a driveway and check my speed, speedo says 40 and I'm in a 35 which should be OK. He blips the siren and pulls out after the car behind me. His lights are on winky-blinky. Uh-oh. The car behind me pulls over and I pull over. Oncoming traffic pulls over. He passes the car behind me. He approaches me and continues on. Whew! I continued home without incident. I still like my boots. You can see them on me here:

I showed them to my girlfriend the next weekend since I liked them so much and related how her black ones had gotten me so wound up. She tried them on and liked being that tall and they easily went over her calves. I really couldn't tell if she wanted some or not. But we did have some booted fun together at home. Even slept in them comfortably.
Driving to the mall later to go Christmas shopping I related the story above about driving home in them. She got very concerned that I could have had an accident, but then seemed more concerned that I might be venturing out in public with them. I've never told her about my little forays to the gas station or post office or ATM. Or that traditionally I like to wear boots to go out to the mailbox by the street. No close neighbors and only have to worry about traffic. She can be insecure and needy. I think she'd be happy if we were together 24/7 and me on the other hand would go absolutely bonkers without some significant alone time, something she can't fathom. Hopefully she'l get it eventually and we can continue to have some booted fun together.

Your experiences sound very similar to mine. The secrecy, the ups and downs in the collection, being unable to share with anyone until finally finding the right person. I could never tell my ex wife either though I think there were more problems there than I ever realized either. A later girlfriend I did buy boots for liked them at first, but only wore them three times for me. And I don't think she'd have accepted my wearing them either. The latest one I met through eharmony, (pardon the advertisement), and am at a totally different place. She likes wearing heels and lots of 2 or 3 inch high shoes for work and stuff. Oddly most are not all that sexy, but more business-like in nature which I suppose is practical but seems odd for someone who obviously likes heels. It was a subject we talked about and I made it clear I had a real thing for boots. She unknowingly teased me about how I'd look in some high heeled boots and I told her that I"d totally rock them. Of course she laughed, but little did she know. At least then. I think I bought her some boots on ebay that were inexpensive so that if they bombed, it wasn't a major hit. They were like these but in white:
I was intrigued by the back zipper and first bought a pair in white also in a 10 which was real struggle to put on until I found they also had them in an 11. I bought a black pair.
Turns out she was excited about the boots, but being that she is chunky girl, they didn't zip up over her calves. In spite of that she still wore them in the bedroom for me which was great fun. But of course I wanted more.
Some how we ended up talking about strip clubs for guys and the counterpart of girls night out with male strippers way back when as there was a club she used to go to with friends long ago that held events like that. Of course I'm bragging that I could do that and on and on with it. I don't remember which one of us bought it, probably her, but not long after that I have the gift of a men's version of a g-string. We were over at her place hanging out in the basement watching TV when she started going on about when was I gonna dance for her in it. Well I had the g-string thingie and the boots with me. I went upstairs to change which was actually mostly just undressing. For some reason she thinks I'm sezy even though I could lose more than a few pounds. I don the g-string which was fun and the black knee high boots with four inch heel. I've decided that if this relationship is going anywhere, she needs to know that I like wearing high heeled boots. To say that I'm nervous is an understatement. I'm sure most of you can guess the feelings and the fears running through my head. What if she freaks out and tells the world? I know many of you are way past that, but not me. Next I need to negotiate the stairs to the basement. I've done plenty of stairs in heels so that isn't the problem, but I don't want the heels making noise and giving away the surprise. All in all it's taken me a while to change and make my way down to the basement. It's a do or die moment. I gather up my courage and lean around the doorway to announce my grand entrance. I have her attention as she's been waiting for me to dance for her like the male strippers of back in the day. She asks if I'm gonna come in. I take a step into the room more or less hiding behind an ironing board and the end of a couch. She can't see me yet and asks again for me to come in. I finally do to her delight and surprise. She burst out with "You bought boots!!" and then how she likes the look between the tiny pouchie thing I'm wearing and the boots. Definitely a positive response so far. I think I sort of sashayed over to her and then finally sat down as I told her how those were not my first boots and I didn't take a long time to negotiate the stairs because I already knew how to walk in high heeled boots from having many different pairs over the years. She was somewhat shocked and listened intently to what I had to say, asked some questions about whether I dressed fully as a woman or if I was gay and seemed satisfied with my answers.
It was such a relief to tell her and not continue to live a lie hiding a part of me from her. That was over a year ago and we're still seeing each other. We still live separate and I go back and forth over whether I want to change that. She still has some fears that I probably won't be able to completely put to bed since she asked some of those same questions just recently after I told her about putting a new pair of boots on in the parking lot and driving home. That's for another post.
All in all, I have to agree with heelguy36 about everything he posted. I had the same feelings and it's so good to be able to not hide it, at least from that one special person.

1. How old have you been, when you got your first heels? I was on travel in Huntsville, AL for business by myself back in the mid 80's before I got my own place, so that makes me about 25 or so. 2. What was the reason (i.e. special event like carneval/ halloween; because you lost a bet; because you felt in love for them) I was alone on travel and single, and without any of the self confidence I have now. Couldn't decide whether to try and have a life there or at home since I was gone about a third of the time. 3. Who paid the bill? I did, I've bought all of my boots. 4. How much did you spend? That pair was $60 which I paid in cash so there wasn't a trail of evidence back to me! How times change. 5. How and where did you buy? (retailer: grabbed and paid or tried them on; mail order company/ online; etc.) I was wandering the mall there and saw a pair of black thigh high boots with about a 4 inch heel at a Baker's shoe store. In spite of the sales clerk being a guy, I went in and bought a pair in size 10 as that was the biggest they came in. I asked for an 11 and then made up a story about my imaginary girlfriend having to deal with the smaller size. I didn't try them on at the store. And then I struggled with how to put them on back at the hotel. 6. Were you allowed to wear them at home (i.e. after of that special purpose)? Oh it was definitely my secret back then. Only when alone at home or when I took them with me on travel. I did carry-on one trip and got a funny look as they went through the X-ray machine. I was a little more cautious after that. I did a lot of business travel for a while there and took advantage to go shopping for women's boots and sometimes heels without worry of someone I know seeing me. Even after I got my own place, I would drive across town to different malls and stores. I have gotten over a lot of that and do have a girlfriend who I can be booted with. Obviously there is more to that story which I'll post in the "who has new boots?" thread. Stay tuned.

Been lurking for a while here and finally decided to be visible. Actually kind of nervous about it! I've had a thing for women's high heeled boots for as long as I can remember. I was on business travel alone back in the 80's wandering a mall when I spotted a thigh high boot at Bakers. I went in and bought a pair and then struggled with getting them on back at the hotel. It's been an interesting ride ever since.
Who has bought some new BOOTS?

I see I messed up the link to the photos of me wearing the boots. Try this one:
