Just a brief update on this as I always keep my eye out, but it appears Steve Madden are really embracing the push to larger sizes still. There are a bunch of larger sizes now on the EU website and it they have collaborated with a male star for some of the marketing photos.

Hi all, just thought I would give an update on this as I am always looking for any developments made by shoe brands towards larger sizes.

I see Steve Madden appears to be taking the move toward larger sizes more seriously, and not just a seasonal thing. See the link below :-

So out of curiosity when doing some browsing, I noticed that Steve Madden have started offering US 12 sizes for some of the heels, some below :-

Hopefully this is a sign that some makers realise there is a demand for some larger sizes. I did see the below article a few weeks back and thought it might be promising

I may be asking a bit of a favour, but does anyone here own a pair of Pleaser Seduce boots in size US12? I am hoping to kinda get an idea of it's fitting as well as the wearer's foot measurements if at all possible. Where I live I would have to import a pair and there is no way I could return them.

You look amazing bud! And good going for not being afraid to show the world how good a guy in heels can look!

That's great @Schnubab. Those heels are amazing (what brand, height?) - and the fact that they are from your gf makes them even more special!

When are you going to make an honest woman out of her   JK!

 

 The brand is "Call It Spring" with the particular shoe model being Gwydda. The heel is 11cm high which is perfect for me.

As for making an honest woman out of her, she has been VERY patient for the last 9 1/2 years now, so it is definitely needed soon

Sooooo, this is a very happy post for me to be sharing.

My girlfriend went away for a week on a business trip and got back on Saturday. After catching up a bit, she went to unpack her bag and gave me an early birthday present

The second pic is to give a better indication of the colour, as they look black for the most part, but when the light touches them you can see they are actually a dark navy blue.

Also, this marks a significant step toward acceptance of my heeling for my girlfriend and I.

I am so hearbroken  I found these gorgeous babies but alas they do not fit Sorry for the poor cellphone pics.

Great shoes there and the skinny jeans really show them off. Incidentally I just purchased a pair of black suede Mary Janes like yours from a store here (Betts)_12.5cm heel and 1cm concealed platform which I will team with skinny jeans also. 

I hope you enjoy yours as much as I enjoy mine!

Is that really comfortable 

It takes a little bit to get used to it (not sure whether you've looked intothe particulars of tucking), however, it's not actually uncomfortable at all I find.

oh my goodness i don't know how you do it!

(i have way too much to ever achieve that look.)

You really will be surprised what a proper tuck can do.

As promised, I just took a few pics to show the effect I like to achieve thanks to tucking.

I got three new pairs of heels a couple of weeks ago and finally had a chance to take some pics of them  

Thank you all for taking the time to respond.

It is clear that there are various viewpoints on how one could present themself in a pair of jeggings or leggings, i.e. tucked or not. I personally think it is better for me to present a smooth lined appearance and I for now will make do so with the use of a gaff as well as tops with a longer length.

I recently got a few new pairs of heels and will take a few pics when I get a chance to show the effect.

Ah, the old "to tuck or not to tuck" debate. I'm with you on this one--I don't like the bulge. Not that I am unhappy with my own plumbing and gender, I just don't like the way it looks with such slim clothing. My solution is to not wear the things that show too much of me, or to simply cover it up with a long shirt or sweater. Other, more radical, solutions I find to be too uncomfortable.

On the other hand, there are those who enjoy showing off, perhaps in the same way that a woman might enjoy showing cleavage up top, but it's not for me.

I too have made use of longer tops and coats that would cover up the area, but I must admit, I do from time to time wish to wear shorter clothing that fits just a bit more snug to create a streamlined silhouette.

I don't know if what I am about to say is correct or not.  We are used to seeing women with those types of leggings and of course they look way different than we do.  Society has told us that they look great but us men don't look so good because there is a bulge in our pants.  

I like to wear leggings very often and find that we have to get used to looking differently.  Like wearing heels it will be a little bit of a shock at first but who's to say that at any given time women will not find it nice or even attractive. 

I know that I may be deviating from the main topic but I find that we should be able to show what we've got.

 

For me it is all about trying to go for a smooth lined body shape and for me personally I do not like having my bulge on display  When I look at myself in the mirror it's as if my eyes are automatically drawn to it as it stands out and does not compliment the clothing silhouette that I may be going for. On the other hand, I do also think it would help others be a little more accepting of my clothing choice as it would give them less reason to say I should not be wearing that type of clothing.

Prefer one less battle of the bulge to worry about for me in tight skinnies. Nice smooth lines preferred so 'giffgaff' is my friend. 

Smooth lines all the way! I am learning the way of the gaff  

Hi all, so a bit of a personal question this one.

I recently bought my first pair of jeggings, and noticed that the "bulge" that is not too visible in the likes of say skinny jeans is somewhat evident with jeggings. So this has led me to start "tucking" when I am going to wear something like jeggings and I was wondering whether any other members have had the same issue and if so, how they go about it.

I bought these cute little lace up ankle boots from New Look. Size 9, incredibly comfortable and a 4.5" heel.

 

 

Absolutely inspiring. I wish my New Look shoes would hurry up and get here already.

As promised here are my New Look ankle booties and i'am completely happy !! They are à little bit large but with ticks socks everything is fine !!! I thought they were 8,5cm heel height but in fact it is 10cm. It does not matter  because they are very comfortable to wear  thinking of trying them out even if the metal looks of the heels might be very visible!

 

 

 

Awesome boots and I hope that you are happy with them. Happy heeling.

Were those men's jeans you wore in that picture? Perhaps you might consider women's jeans instead as they would give you a slimmer, sleeker profile to pair with your booties.

Hiya JeffB, there were a pair of men's slim fit jeans. I do have a few skinny women's jeans but I again struggle with them not being a tight fit around my ankles

Hey TBG, the jeans are a little thick around my ankles so I wanted to avoid tucking them in as they appeared almost 'forced' in, but I do want to try it with a better fitting pair of jeans.

Peter1, they are a pair of Steve Madden Akademi booties.

Playing around trying to find something I like with my first ever pair of booties

My mirror desperately needs a clean

Those look amazing! If only I could be lucky enough to pull off OTK boots as well as that!

Stiletto heels must surely be named after the knife/blade type called a stiletto (a long thin blade)?

Good luck and I hope all goes well.
