For those of you on facebook, check out the guys shoes, they look like ladies sandals to me.

Sleek, It was a quick trip to get coffee, it was terrible. I put my wedges on and went back down to breakfast after a little while. I've been wearing flats around the room and in the car and the wedges in public. Second night and my feet are beat. So off my feet and on with the flats. I did chicken out at the gas station and slipped on my crocs. I was in my short bibs for mountain biking and on my way back to the hotel from a 11.5 ride. It was dark and there were some folks around. I thought, I looked odd enough without flats or wedges.

I'm delivering training on the road this week. When I'm not training or exercising I'll be wearing my heels or my flats. Once I left the office I put on a pair and haven't switched back to my boy shoes since 1pm today.

I just wore my Oxford's down to the lobby to get a cup of coffee. That heel sound on the tile floor. Nice. I've been wearing my wedges mostly. Those Oxford's are just a little high for me right now.

San Diego County Sheriff Bill Gore stands in front of the mound at San Diego's Petco Park to throw out the ceremonial first pitch before a baseball game Wednesday, September 17, between the Philadelphia Phillies and the San Diego Padres. Gore was wearing red heels to promote awareness of domestic violence.

What a boost for guys in heels. I bet that took some practice. He's got a big smile too.

May I suggest that if you are using an Android based phone, try Snapseed, best photo editor I've tried. It will make all the photos look better, crop, edit, rotate and more.

Finally got around to getting a picture of my Oxfords that I bought.

I had just put on my 2.5 in Oxfords for the afternoon, when what should hit my facebook feed, but a quiz for a nickname popped up. Stupid fun to waste time, the irony was I got the nickname "Stilleto!"

Here it is if you want to give it a try: http://survley.com/nickname-generator.html

The guys came out in force today. Several firms stock heels for the guys. That little tidbit was in another article. The newspaper has a great article and look at the shoes! http://www.syracuse.com/news/index.ssf/2014/03/post_1028.html#incart_river_default#incart_m-rpt-2

Crocs does make some heels and wedges, probably not high enough for the crowd here, but they look pretty nice. http://www.crocs.com/womens-heels-and-wedges/women-footwear-heelsWedges,default,sc.html

I just heard about this. I would love to do it, even wear the heels, but alas, to get there and do it is not so easy with my current family and financial situation.

There is video in the first few seconds of guys in heels.

I wore my new flats out the local grocery store.

I had a very short window of opportunity. It was nearly sunset but the cold weather had pushed the eagles down to the only open water at the inlet of the lake. So I parked, put on my sporty flats and power walked down the trail. It was packed snow, and there was nobody around. On the way back I passed only one other person who did not give any indication that they noticed my very obvious shoes. Too bad there weren't any eagles around to see.

I went back tonight and the were two clerks! Picks the boxes off the shelf, got the oxford's with 2.5 in heel and a pair of sporty flats.

I went to Payless today in the middle of a raging snow storm, figured I would have the store pretty much to myself. Just about. The clerk I think figured out that I was looking at the heels, or at least at the size 12 ladies rack. She offered to move the stocking ladder from in front of the ladies size 12 shelves so I could look easier. I did try on one shoe and wasn't sure if I liked it, so I didn't buy. I might have to stop by there tomorrow and try the pair on again. They are having a BOGO 50% Sale to boot.

I got to stop being so nervous. I should have asked her if she minded me looking and trying on from that rack.

I haven't posted in awhile. What do you guys think of this outfit? Some lighter colored shoes would be better.

Just had a group from out of state come in for training. It was a little unusual with the number of women that attended this very male dominated industry. One gal had on a boot very similar to this:

Never seen them before, they looked great and apart from the obvious heel, could be men's.

Found this one at Payless: http://www.payless.com/store/product/detail.jsp?catId=cat10088&subCatId=cat10268&skuId=129727095&productId=72769&lotId=129727&category=&catdisplayName=Womens

Your friend might be able to steam the dents out, maybe not all the way, but enough that they would be almost unnoticeable. I steamed our hardwood floors after moving a piano in and the wood sprang back up except for one particular large gouge. My floors may be well over a 100 years and I'm not replacing them, so it stays as part of the character.

Do you have a company shoe policy, or it anything goes?

Thanks Shafted, I've seen the Dansko ones. Problem is I really need to try before I buy. I have odd feet.

I just went to Payless to pick up a pair of sandals. Alas they were out of stock. They were also very busy! I wore my wedges right into the store, had to walk through the mall, no one took note of them at all. It was very nice outing and I enjoyed strolling through the mall, very confidently in my shoe choice.

I saw the sketchers online, I'll have to see if I can find them locally. I was just at Payless and they had neither the clogs or the sandals.

Well I spotted a sale on clogs on zulily and left the pages up for the wife to see. The men's clogs are Sanitas, the ladies pair at the top are from Payless. They look pretty similar to me. The ladies pair has a 2 inch heel and the men's 1 3/4 inch heel.

Once you start, you can't stop.

The question is, "how to get the wife to approve?"
