Sounds like you had a good time on your window-shopping day! It's always nice to check out new stores and meet new people. I have this observation for you to consider. You remarked that it seemed important that the woman in the store see you trying on heels and that you noticed she indeed treated like any other customer. How would she react if she knew you were snapping her photo and then posting it on the internet? Someone who knows her well might come stumble upon it (stuff gets copied and pasted all the time) here or elsewhere and wonder what's going on. I would never take anyone's picture without their knowledge inside a store and post it. I know the current level of technology allows it but this is where a judgment call has to be made. If this girl's father, brother, or boyfriend had been in the store and seen you then you may not have gotten out of there with the same number of teeth. More stores than ever have cameras or simply back rooms from which they can see everything. It is food for thought. After all, you want to go back to the store right? Besides, the very way you were dressed suggests you wanted to blend in as you went about your day but snapping photos like that may have ruined your day. I know this might not sit well with you but I'd rather see you enjoy your outings and not got into a trick bag. Keep traveling and telling us about it. Treat all the people in those travels the way YOU would want to be treated and you should never have any trouble.

That is sound advice. We were defintely the only ones in the store though. You can touch the walls from the middle of the store that place is so small....lol

.Becarefull not to fall into a gambling pit

I don't go often and I am very careful with my money when I do go

Nice outfit and great outing Mr. X. Well done !

Can I make you a suggestion ?

You may want to ask the mods to remove the picture

of the salesgirl from your post as soon as possible.

This would reduce the risk of it being posted somewhere else on the Internet.

The picture showing the shoes is OK since no one could recognize her...

Good Idea! But how do you do it?

Today was a good day to do some traveling. With the weather getting a little cooler these days, I decided to take my ankle boots for a spin. Today I wore a white dress shirt under a black jacket. Down below I wore jeans and my "Aldo" ankle boots. And I wore my shoulder bag which also kinda looks like a camera bag I had one of my better outings, as I will describe.

Firstly, I did the few errands that I had planned. Then I basically spent the rest of my time out window shopping and visiting some of my favorite stores, including "Future Shop", my home away from home! It is the Canadian version of Best Buy. Even if I don't buy anything I am happy walking out of there.

Next was lunch. I went up the road to Quizno's. I was in luck because they had a new pulled pork sub that looked delicious. And was it ever. Even though it was a little messy, it comes highly recommended by yours truly. Not only did I have a tasty lunch, but a few nicely dressed and easy on the eyes ladies walk into the joint while I was chowing down. Bonus!

Afterwards, I decided to check out one of the new shoe shops in town. I was in there once before. It is a little more upscale. It even has "boutique" in the name. It has a 5th Ave feel to it. I would never buy anything there though. You are hard pressed to find any shoes or boots there for under $100. They carry lots of Steve Madden, BCBG, etc. It doesn't hurt to window shop though. Plus the young salesgirl who was working their the first time was a "looker"! I walked in and to my surprise, she was working again. I could only see her face behind the counter, but she looked great. I don't know if she remembered me or not. As I said, I was only in there once before. And this is were my days really starts to get good!

She greeted me from behind the counter as I began to look around. Their floors are "marble" like. So there was no hiding the sound of my heels in there. She gave me the usual rundown of current sales and such as she did her computer work. Now I am estimating this girl to be no more than 110 pounds. Then she came out from behind the counter to go to the back for a moment. And that is when my jaw literally hit the floor. She had on beautiful high heels which I heard from the floors. And she had on a very short mini skirt which showed off her incredible legs. So not only was this girl facially good looking. She also possessed many of the other qualities prized by the superficial male......lol The whole time I was looking around I had so many unnatural though running through my head...lol A few of their shoe displays allow you a view behind there counter where she was a lot. So lets just say I browsed at those shoes just a little bit longer. Plus her back was turned to me while she wrapped up in her computer work. So I couldn't help snapping a couple of quick shots.

I actually did finally decide to try on a pair of shoes. They were a nude pair of Steve Madden pumps marked down to $95. They looked good except for the hideous platform on them. I had no intention on purchasing them but I decided to try them on so the sales girl would get comfortable with me trying on heels for future visits. Not that that was going to be a problem to begin with. She was treating me like any other customer. Plus the thought of wearing heels in front of her the way she was dressed, was kind of intriguing. Plus I decided to try them on so I could spend a bit more time in the store, and see her parade around in her sexy little outfit....lol She came from the back and handed me the shoes. She mentioned that she wanted the same pair but they sold out of her size quickly. I told her I was not really a platform fan. I put them on and went to the mirror. She asked me how they fit? I told her they fit well, which they did! But they still looked awful. At this point 2 older ladies walked in and her attention got diverted from me to them. I decided this was my cue to exit. I removed the shoes and put them on the counter. She asked if I was going to take them? I politely said no and thanked her for her time and help. Even if I don't buy anything I will definitely be going back there again...lol I was flying high at this point.

I decided to go to the local casino and try my luck. I had planned to go anyhow. I usually don't go in heels though. You usually end up running into someone you know there. Today I got luck though. I couldn't have been in there more than an hour. Not only did I not get recognized, but I walked out $100 richer! Now if only all my future outings can be this enjoyable. I will be a happy man(in heels of course). Thanks for listening or reading!

Today I decided its time to buy a pair of heels for regular heeling since summer is comming and I mainly have boots.

My favourite store got some beautifull heels in,I do like these styles.

I tried on all three but for some reason certain shoes really hurts me.Theres a bone on my right foot by my 2nd toe from right that moves,and it really hurts like hell.

Anyway,tried them on instore and the assistant was very helpfull.Decided to go for the third pair,black open toe.It feels teh best and doesnt hurt at all but I am very happy with my purchase Will give them a go in public soon.

Way to go Storm! I Have a few pairs of smaller or hidden platforms myself. I am not usually a fan of them though.

Heres a couple I captured at the weekend, one whilst waiting for a train and the other after work in the supermarket, both had great legs in their heels!

Nice heels on both ladies!

Nice outfit and outing Jeff! I too just picked up the Star Wars movies on blue ray. While I agree that only the original 3 movies matter, I went with the whole shebang. Only because the whole deal has loads of extras that are not found on the other Star Wars offerings. I feel that the making of, cast interviews, and such, is worth the extra money. Even if I could care less about the newer Star Wars movies.

Not exactly new boots, but someone was asking about the brown ankle boots in my avatar that I bought last winter from River Island ( brown ankle boots.jpg )... they're not available any more but I was browsing around and found these:

http://www.vestryonline.com/Product/2481/6/Four-Strap-Boot

Those are nice SleekHeels! They kinda remind me of the booties I purchased not to long ago.

http://www.hhplace.org/guys/15856-who_has_bought_some_new_boots-95.html#post287832

I was in my Local "Winners" this evening, for those that live in Canada. With fall fast approaching, boot stocks are getting plentiful. Normally I don't find much I like there shoe or boot wise. But tonight I spotted a pair of botties that caught my eye straight away. I new I was buying them Even before I tried them on. I tried them on and they fit perfect, maybe even a little on the loose side. They looked even better on me then they did on the shelf. Sold! Then I looked at the price tag, $40. Double sold!!

The boots themselves are a two tone chocolate brown with several buckles. They look like they may have a hidden platform but I can't really tell. Websites will tell you the heel is 4 inches, but I measured the heel to be closer to 5 inches. They have a faux fur lining as well, so they will be quite warm. The boots are an interesting combination of ruggedness balanced out by the cuteness and softness of the heel. I can't wait for some cooler weather so I can give these a spin. Now, what to wear them with? Any thoughts?

When I got home I researched them online. They get great reviews too! The company is "Dollhouse". The brand is "Kalista". Here is a link. Enjoy!

http://shop.dollhouse.com/shop/P964070/dollhouse/kalista-ankle-buckle-bootie.html

Just picked these up the other day.

http://www.aldoshoes.com/ca-eng/women/sandals/high-heels/83462891-cassondra/81

In store they were marked down to $40 with an additional 30% off. So I ended up paying just over $30. They come in silver or black. I purchased the black pair. The heel itself measures 4 3/4". Now I just have to find an outfit to pair them with.

Not crazy about the outfit but the shoes are great!

Archie Panjabi (The Good Wife) In Boots.

Does anyone else watch The Good Wife, hoping to catch a shot of Archie in her boots? It seems that is all she wears on the show.

[ATTACH]13681[/ATTACH]

[ATTACH]13682[/ATTACH]

I don't watch the show but based on the pics I may have to start.

Not sure of the exact numbers. I definitely have more women's shoes though. I only have a few pairs of men's shoes. Without counting I would say I am in the double digits probably for women's shoes. I think most of the posts here are gonna say that they have more women's shoes.

Jessica Alba in Machete is wearing incredible heels.

A lot of different styles and she turns them into weapons also...

Love the Movie! Love the girl! Love the heels!

Sound like you had fun again. That tan skirt outfit looks really good! The black/tan colour combo really pops!

Meh! Nothing I haven't seen before. The usual narrowminded, uninformed nonsense and insults about clothing and shoes being equated with sexual orientation, yadda, yadda, yadda!

I totally agree!

I also like the black and white combo. I wear black and white often in the summer. I also reverse the colors with black jeans and white polo shirt with my Naturalizer white open toe mules with a 3" block heel for that combo, I recently wore this combo and was showing off my red polished toes. Had a couple of compliments from cashiers at Walgreen's and a supermarket.

Keep on posting those pictures.

bluejay

Thanks for the tip. I never thought of reversing the colours.

Good outfits MR X.I prefer the blue jeans but both look good.You shouldve said to someone at the store you want to speak to the sales girl X

Actually, she was the only one working at the time. That is usually the case at this particular store. Especially in the mornings, when I like to frequent, because it is less busy.

Mr. X,

I really like the black & white combo with your stiletto high heels. It looks very stylish and I'm sure is very comfortable. The jeans combo is nice, too. The black shirt, white pants, and black high heels just seemed to stand out for me.

I like it too! I definitely plan to give that outfit a travel in the future.

Oh, yeah, let me give you some much needed and vital advice. If you choose to go out and about in a short skirt during the heat of summer, be sure to put a sunshade in the windshield AND a towel on the driver's seat, otherwise, your thighs will suffer big time when you return to your car and sit down on a blistering hot seat. And my seats are leather which can be even worse! YOW! Another bit of advice for skirt wearing, if you act like it's no big deal, everyone else will feel the same way. Plain and simple. Meanwhile, more outings to come....

Not that all be wearing a skirt anytime soon, but thanks for the tip! And it sound like you had another enjoyable outing. Keep it up!

The attached heels below are a few of the girlier heels that I have. I have many and had a hard time saying which ones are more girly. I love all styles and wear different ones for different occasions.

I hope these meet the requirements of this thread.

They definitely meet the requirements. And they look good too!

The weather was suppose to get warm today but it was a little cooler in the morning. Perfect opportunity to go on a travel. I had a day off, and I had a few errands to run, banking and such. I decided to wear the shirt seen here. [urlhttp://www.hhplace.org/guys/12167-mr_x_s_travels-8.html#post282518 As for the bottoms. I was originally going to wear my white stretch jeans, but I decided to wear regular blue jeans instead. I am sitting here wishing I had stuck with the white ones. Oh well! There is always next time. And for the shoes I choose my "fioni" 4 inch flat black stillettos. I managed to get all my errands done. And the whole day went off without a hitch. I also managed to stop in at Aldo for a little Mr. X time. My favorite sales girl was working but she was busy with stock or something. Plus I didn't see much I liked, so I wasn't in there very long. A nice uneventful travel for me. I just wish I could have chatted someone up about my outfit or there's. Now on to the pics! First one is the outfit as I intended to wear it. With the white pants. The other pics are the outfit as I wore it with the blue jeans, both front and back. Enjoy! Comments and suggestions welcome.

I am not usually a platform fan at all. I came across this vid though. It is Ann Hathaway on "Chelsea lately." She is wearing some super high heels. And there doesn't appear to be too much of a platform for the high height of the heels. There is a platform obviously, but the platform is hidden. Plus the colour of the shoes also detracts from any platform that does exist. Check it out and let me know what you think? And if anyone can identify the shoes it would be appreciated.

Anne Hathaway on Chelsea Lately

[ATTACH]13560[/ATTACH]

Love the heels she is wearing. I'd like to see them up close. Doesn't look like there is much of a platform for the high height of those heels. I looked at some vids of this and any platform appears to be hidden. Plus the colour of the shoes detracts from the plat as well. I usually detest platform!

These sandals are comfortable, even if the heel is high, 13 cm.

The insole and the heel are the same than another pair i have from Gio Hel.

What I meant was. What brand? How much? And were can we buy them? Stuff like that.

Nice array of heels there Heelguy

Love the shoes and the outfit looks great!

Thanks gaijin and gary. Two of my passions are shoes and poker. I love this women.
