Absolutely amazing outfits! The boots are awesome!

Here's a new pair of ankle boots from Nordstrom: the Caslon "Whitney" in black nubuck leather and sporting 3 3/4 inch wedge heels.

That's like guessing which way a frog is going to jump. It would depend totally on the individuals wearing the heels, the individual who were observing, and the circumstances and would never be the same twice in a row. See a bunch of rowdy beery lads in identical red pumps and you'll guess its some kind of bucks night party. See a couple of blokes in heels walking quietly and holding hands, people will think something else. See three mixed couples, everybody in heels, well dressed and obviously going out to dinner and people will be intrigued - perhaps even wondering if they are seeing and not recognising, some celebrities. It all depends. Totally variable.
Agreed. The variables are virtually limitless. Still, that would make for an interesting experiment.

Your sense of style, as demonstrated in your most recent pictures, remains top notch!

JeffB, go read my post above. Go to one of those kiosks in the mall that sell chain by the inch. They will be more than happy to size one up for you that will fit. I did several times.
Happy Heeling,
bluejay

Thanks for the info! I’ll definitely look into this so I’ll something to wear when spring rolls around.

I would love to wear ankle chains, but it would probably be hard to find such items tailored to the wider widths of men’s ankles.

Nice looking color on those shoes, chesterx!

That's pretty cool! I might have to try ankle chains myself!

nzfreestyler nailed it. I wore flats out several times before I got the courage to don heels. I dont remember any reactions, much less interactions, compared to my experiences wearing heels. We notice heels, so of course other people are going to notice heels too. Its what they are designed to do, draw attention. If they were not so dang sexy & unique of a shoe style no one would ever bother to ware heels at all...would just be keds & uggs all the time...
And wouldn't THAT be an awful thing!

I agree, I don't think any amount of training would have helped here. This woman is either jealous or has some old fashioned notions. In any event, she is just hurting herself, not going to make many sales... He looks amazing in those heels, I'm so jealous..
Not to mention potentially hurting the store. In today’s social media age, word gets around fast about stores that don’t treat customers right.
-
I can’t help but wonder if these people are being trained in proper customer service techniques and that priority one is to NOT antagonize shoppers willing to spend money. That just doesn’t make a lick of sense. Something else I wonder about, if a woman was in the men’s area looking for shoes, would she have been treated as shabbily as a man in the women’s section?

Good for Ray who chose not to put up with the sort of nonsense from that saleswoman. I mean, why should she care who buys what as long as people buy stuff? Isn't that the goal of being in retail? I wonder if he reported that harridan to the store's manager? By the way, he looked damn good in those heels!

Today started with a trip to Sports Clips for a haircut. After that I went to the car wash to remove the holiday grime, then stopped off for some Mexican food. Thought about catching a movie as the theater was across the parking lot, but the only show I cared to see had already started, so I went to Walmart & got my shopping for next week done. As it was a nice day out I took the opportunity to wear my Chelsea Moreland nude sandals. No interactions to speak of...
Nice sandals! They look sharp!

Pretty darn awesome to say the least!

Well done, chesterx! Sounds like you had a good time on your dinner outing, and the pumps look great! I wear a 13 wide myself, not an easy size to find on the shelf, especially after Payless closed, however, I've managed to wear 13 medium comfortably when it comes to boots. Keep up the great work!

My latest acquisition, this one from Nordstrom, the BP "Nolly" faux suede ankle boots in black. Sporting 3 1/4 inch block heels, they were easy to wear and comfortable, even though they're only medium width. In fact, I've already ordered a pair in tan which I should get soon.

Very nice indeed, Cali! And isn't it special when you get compliments from guys?

Well, speaking as a vet (who NEVER saw combat - thank God - but we were ready), I would say that without a doubt going into combat takes a LOT of courage, bravery, fearlessness and many other adjectives. Combat can get you killed.
Wearing high heels in public can get you laughed at or ridiculed or even complimented, but not killed. Hopefully. But I admit wearing high heels in public does take courage, at least until, you realize that it is not that big a deal.... I was glad that I was able to experience both....
Have fun...... sf
I'm also a veteran (Navy: 1976-1996) who never saw combat, but yeah, the courage it takes to go into battle, knowing full well you might not return home alive is considerable, making our little public forays in women's shoes amateur night in Dixie.

Good for you, Pierre! Those early forays in public are always the hardest, but it gets easier from there.

Pretty cool! I would agree that in the beginning it takes courage for a man to wear heels in public, but, in time, it becomes second nature and no big deal at all.

Video of me spinning a girl on my back, while wearing heels. Most girls squeal. She was a bit unemotional.
You certainly are talented!

Nice boots, kneehighs! The adornments on the ankle make the grade and then some!

I’m neither disappointed or surprised at the comments. There will always be brainless idiots out there who derive some perverted sense of pleasure from bringing down and insulting anyone who doesn’t fit into their narrow minded worldview of what they consider as “normal”. It’s also ironic that those very same knuckledraggers wouldn’t have the stones to say those ugly things to Mr. Duane’s face, still, it all fits into the sort of repugnant intolerance that’s gripped this country over the last few years.
