new_look

hi folks took the boots to the cobblers today and he seemed pretty quick to send me away and say there was little he could do to help. He peeled back the footbed lining to show me that someone had 'repaired' them in the past by putting 3 screws through into the heel. dispite this one heel is bent and a bit unsteady and the other is just a little unsteady. Really didnt wanna give up on these that easy, they fit right and look great, a combination often hard to find. Is there nothing i can do with them?? NL

the last post took away anything i could have said here. Bravo to you, Nothing more to say but read the last post.

thats welcoming news, was hoping the replies wasnt gonna tell me that they were destined for the bin lol How much do you think it will cost? NL

hi to the experts hope someone can help have bought a lovely pair of ALDO knee boots second hand and love them very much, perfect fit and style. Sadly One of the heels is not where it should be i can feel this when i walk and is visible, the heel is slightly bent off to the left instead of straight down Is there anyway this can be repaired Thanks

i can vouch first hand for the elegance and quality of the shoes that come from eliteheels. They specialise in higher than high street styles a lot but in such a style that isnt fetishy but fashionable. I ordered some 6in pointed courts and they looked absolutely fantastic on and off, shapes in all the right places plenty of padding inside and high quality material. sadly i had to send them back as i found them quite narrow for my wide feet

Great story! Well done for going out, i know what its like sat in the car trying to make yourself get out lol. Been there got that Tshirt mant times. London is a great place to shoe shop as im sure others on here will agree. The shops are used to men trying heels on and its quite a fun experience as everyone else is so busy going about their business to care. Hope you do get out and about again soon NL

I agree Shafted, if more thought with the same tune as this girl it would do wonders for our acceptance. Many on here dont care about the acceptance and just go do it, which is great. Others however want to feel accepted and not judged for their choice in what they wear, which is why all the more positive comments like the ones from this article do worlds of wonder. Just could do with the voice a bit more widespread

the ones in your avatas are quite classy IMO. Also 'classy' can depend on the outfit it is worn with. New look last season did a wide range of platform heels all with 6inch heels and 1.5 platforms. Styles ranged from closed round toe courts, slingback courts (like my avatar) open toe slingbacks and some sandal styles in various colours. there are quite a few on ebay if you keep your eyes out and most of them look pretty decent compared to the stripper styles from fetish manufacturers pleaser etc

the first pair are on offer at £7 now. As you can tell by my name i like New Look styles, they always make a few particularly special pairs every season. (usually in the narrow and not size 9 ranges only typically lol) It is a good idea to check out when they put a sale on because like the first pair you can snap up some real good bargains at the end of line

yes maybe they were looking negatively, more looking to confirm that what they thought they saw was true. No matter what the opinion on it, men in heels are an unusual sight so if someone does catch a glimpse they will probably look again to double check that they saw what they thought they saw.

Interesting thread this, certainly takes me back some memories when i was about 16. I used to live with my dad and he used to work quite a lot so i often had the house to myself, which was great, out came my heels and I used to wear them a lot, but the fact that i couldnt walk much further than about 7 metres in any one straight line, and was missing the essential experience of the sound of heeltips on concrete etc, my desires burned to wear heels outside. At this stage I did what you did ShyHeelGuy and set my alarm for 3am and went for a walk around the block in heels. It was the only answer and back then there wasnt much internet availability in every home so finding places like this board for support were out of the question, I was on my own with this one and didnt dare tell anyone. Looking back it was a bit ludicrous in one respect, anyone could have heard my loud heels on the concrete with their window open and had a peek and what a silly hour to get up to do it, but thats what happens when your desires overrule you and you dont dare do the alternatives. In the dark though i doubt they would have recognised me much. As for police, they were the last thing on my mind and wouldnt see them as a problem. I would have politely informed them that i like to wear heels and am afraid to do it in public in the daylight so the only time i dare is at night when noone else is watching. This board and a few very good people gave me the willpower to wear heels in the daylight. London is a great place to wear heels as is Manchester on a night out, noone cares and the feeling is brilliant, much better than alone in the dead of night. ShyHeelGuy I would encourage you to tell your gf if you believe she would be ok about it. I have found in the past wearing heels with a gf is a great confidence boost, it avoids the thought that you wearing heels because you are gay and also is a case if if your gf doesnt mind why should others care. I certainly used to feel a lot better about it than wearing heels on my own. NL

they can look cute on the right feet with the right outfit. Especially the case if the wearer has small feet as the small heel doesnt look out of proportion as with a larger foot

Haha, immigration into NI is about to become popular. In the good few years on the board ive seen many men asking if any women would fancy a date and never got a response. A happy heeling single irishman just may have all his dreams come true here hehe. Gemma i wish you luck to find someone right for you, I guess something didnt go well with the partner you called A Perfect Gentleman, was you not planning to marry him not so long ago?

sorry to hear that chris. Get well soon mate. Will have to catch up shortly, havent spoken for ages!

like heels depending on the style they can look great

pussyinboots, it depends on the type of hypnosis i believe. not all forms are like the ones used on TV for entertainment purposes where people obey silly things and dont remember anything

ALL features are attractive its the way they are used and carried that makes the attraction!

hh&c fan what seller did you get your avatar heels from?

booted what is it that you have tried exactly. is it the website mentioned or have you visited a pro?

thats my point really. i have 2 young children now so the occasions where i actually get time to logon are limited nowadays. When i do come back im hopeful that more new members may have come along wearing their heels out and promoting it in a way which people are likely to accept it well.. just exactly like Josh has done here.

i didnt say id stopped posting! i was simply saying that i reply to the topics im interested in and where i can suggest input, and sometimes there is less of that around these days

You know what, ive been a member here a while and used to participate a lot. A few years ago the male section was mainly aboot blokes trying to blend in as blokes and fit in their love for heels along the way. Nowadays I dont find myself posting as a lot of the topics are about blokes wearing thigh boots in public or pink sandals with a skirt. I have no problem with this, each to their own but my agenda is as my first sentence, and I felt the need to post to say WELL DONE! The image you present is exactly the type of example I wish we could do more to promote the cause of men wearing heels in public comfortably as you dont look silly and the outfit is superb. cheers!

whatever happened to the vast collection on flickr that firefox started ages ago. There used to be links to it from here but I cannot find anything that relates to it now

well it sounds like you want to do it so if tht is the case just lock yourself into some ballet boots. i have never worn any, but from all i have read, walking is a challenge and after not long you will be wanting to remove them again, so id be careful what you wish for. Personally when i read these threads on being permenantly in heels etc, initially it sounds an exciting prospect but then snapping into reality there will surely be times when having the flexibility to go back flat agin would be useful, eg playing sports or having to run somewhere in an emergency, rushing to hospotal etc. In this case i would probably play out my fantasy by having someone lock me in heels and them keeping the key which maks you stay in them, but gives the safeout option if required Just my thoughts anyway

the ones who complain probably feel the occasion requires the shoes for the outfit to fit right, however they probably dont like heels and dont really want to wear them. the men who wear them will grim and bear any pain because it is overidden by the good feelings we get from them. probably same as a woman who loves her heels, the pain is worth the gain
