Mr. X

Those are nice. Too bad about the zips.

That is hot! loving that rear view.

More Britney.

I could look at pics of her all day.

Guess I'll kick things off with an old favorite from Madonna & Britney.

Great idea for a thread. Loving me some Britney.

I picked these up earlier today for $15 they are steve madden and are incredibly comfortable. I really needed a classic black pump and as my local filenes basement is going out of business I decided to check it out. These shoes were originally marked at $70 so I was pumped to get them so cheap. I tried them on in the store and only got smiles from the few women who saw me. After I went across the street to the womens store and got some great tights and a black and white skirt. It was a great shopping trip!!

Great shoes! Especially for the price you paid.

and that's how I roll!

And you roll well my friend. Keep it up!

Hello and welcome to the forum. I love the first pair you linked to. Those are hot!

I though I looked great in my oppinion.

You do look great in my opinion. Well done!

MrX,

I think you can justify the purchase this way; 1-You will spend the same amount of money on two or three pairs of shoes in the upcoming year without the great fit and without the great store experience you just had. Spend $95 now for a great fit and a great beginning to a retail relationship or the same amount on two or three pairs that fit OK and no experience to remember it. I know $95 sounds like a lot taken alone but within the the totality of your shopping trips I think it will stand out as one of the best purchases you could have ever made. I would not hesitate to go back and buy them from her.

That makes a lot of sense. But I can still not justify the high price tag. There are not many shoes, if any, that I will plunk down that kind of money for.

The link shows a rather nice shoe with a heel. Did you mean 'flat' or are these actually the shoes - at a considerably cheaper price?

I guess I should have clarified. By "flat", I meant the finish on the shoes, not the heel height. Yes, those are the ones.

I was doing a little shoe shopping today. I Stopped in at one of the stores here. I have mentioned it before in my travel thread. I always just window shop there. They are a quite pricey for me. Most of the shoes are $100 or more. So far it has always been the same salesgirl when I go in there, but today there was a new one. Or one I hadn't seen before. She was a younger blonde women. And she wasn't bad to look at.

I found a pair of flat black "BCBG" flash pumps. Here is a link: http://www.amazon.com/BCBGirls-BG-FLASH-BCBGeneration-Womens-Flash/dp/B0029NYNTA The shoes were $95, so I had no intention on buying them. But I decided to try them on anyhow. She mentioned that they were comfortable and that she had the same pair. She said Monday's are usually slow. So I think she was eager to help.

Now here is where the compliment comes in. I tried them on and I told her that they were extremely comfortable like she said. As I was walking to the mirror for a look, she said, and I quote. "Those look AWESOME with those jeans your wearing". Looking in the mirror I had to agree. As she watched me pose and turn in the mirror she asked how they were? They were absolutely perfect! And they did look AMAZING on me. But being that they were pricey, I told her they were slightly big, and that I felt like my heel was slipping out the back. I told her I am usually between a 9/10 for size. These were a 10. She said she is the same. She usually runs anywhere from 8/9 for size. If they were cheaper I definitely would have bought them. They looked spectacular on me and this beautiful young women owned the same pair. But be that as it may, I thanked her, and walked out of the store with my head held high. But not before she gave me their card with the web address. Her interaction with me totally made my day. I still can't keep the smile of my face thinking about it. I really wish I could have justified buying those shoes though. I will definitely be shopping there again. And I may eventually purchase something...lol. Thanks for listening!

Love the outfit and shoes Heelguy.

GAY, Eeew, NO, Wrong, Fashion Fail, Cowboy boots are for real men, He wants 8 inches but not on his stilettos, GAY, GAY, Real men, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah!!!!!

And my favourite... 'Society is crumbling'... How can anyone honestly say that people wising up to the fact that expressing yourself is not a crime, is making society fall apart?

Who are the people writing the comments? I don't know, but it makes me wet myself laughing.

I agree. The article was great but the comments where the same old drivel.

An interesting article indeed. Not to nitpick however, but I would like to see more pieces about men in heels in more ordinary outings instead of guys at parties and such. Just my opinion.

That is not nitpicking at all. I could see how you would like that. I am sure you are not alone in this. Good article though.

It most certainly isn't company policy.

I wish it was company policy, but alas, it is not. I have seen the girls here wear heels but it was a personal choice for sure.

They can be pricey at full price. That is the original impression I had. But if you only shop the bargains you can get some terrific shoes on the cheap. I you read through my thread http://www.hhplace.org/guys/12167-mr_x_s_travels.html you will find that I shop there often now. And I always get great service and am treated like any other paying customer.

Found these boots on Ebay. Not only are they nice boots, but notice the use of the word "Mens".

I have one pair of those in a black satin design. They are one of my favorite pairs. They look sexy and even sexier on my feet. plus they are very comfortable. A classic stiletto for sure! Here is a link to my pair, as well as a pic.

Nice! Not much platform on those for such a high heel. Can anyone identify the boots?

Positive comments and conversation are always nice on an outing. I wish I would get more of that.

Don't know much about them. They look great none the less.

Perhaps he's using that new-fangled thing called centigrade that they seem to use in most countries now. Most inconvenient, when we all know that water freezes at 32 degrees. The only time the new system is right is at minus 40, and I wouldn't want to venture far in heels at that temperature.

I keep forgetting most places use fahrenheit. But here in Canada we use Celsius. So my temperatures that I mentioned(10 and 25) translate to about 50 to 70 degrees fahrenheit. Here is an easy way to convert to either or. For celsius to fahrenheit you double it and add 30. So 10 celsius would be about 50 fahrenheit. And to go from fahrenheit to celsius you half it and minus 30. So 80 fahrenheit would be about 25 celsius.

Mr. X,

Is it really that cold already where you are at?

Yes it is Roniheels. Welcome to Canada! We have already had some some minus temperatures overnight. Like the saying goes. If you need to use your heater in the same day as your air conditioner, you just might be from Canada...lol.

Another day, another outing. I had a couple of errands to run. Other than that I just felt like window shopping. I can't tell you how long it took me to decide on something to wear. The problem was the weather. In the morning when I began it was around 10 degrees. But by mid afternoon it was to be around 25 degrees. And let me tell you it is quite warm as I write this. I finally decided to just go with an afternoon outfit. I really wanted to try out some boots. But that would have required a 2nd outfit for later in the day. My outfit of choice was pretty basic. beige/brown top, blue jeans, and 2 tone brown peep toe stilettos.The day went off without a hitch. And I had a good time. Enjoy a couple of pics. The outfit I wore and of the shoes.

I am also a regular at Aldo. I normally take about a 9 1/2. Aldo does not do half sizes. I have heard the sales staff there tell me and others, if you are in between sizes go up a half. I have a few pairs of 9's from there but generally I get the 10's. And I always get 10's when it comes to boots.

My latest purchase.

I could not resist when I saw them on display ...

Interesting! The manlyness of a loafer combines with femalness of a stilletto. If that makes any sense.
