I like either, as long as they are thigh highs! I cannot stand pantyhose!

I never knew that Seattle was the place for S&M!!!

Wow, that's wierd!

Wow... now I have a reason to buy rain boots and go to Seattle!

Yeah, but those areas its not a good idea to walk in period! lol.

I'm with you, i LOVE a platform shoe. I'm in the fetish community and i wear them out to events, but i'll also wear the shorter platforms (6-7 inches) with jeans to the mall. I feel they make my legs look longer and i love the height (i'm only 5'5") since hubby is 6' or 6'2". Plus i find that i can wear my platforms for hours on end walking around, since they are a bit hardier than alot of my shorter heels.

If you live in a more rural area (like I do in NW Pennsylvania) descretion is a better part of valor! It's not real bad here but I would be reluctant to push things too far.

So is it the threat of violence? Or does living in such a rural area make it harder/impossible to tell wives/girlfriends/significant others about your heel wearing? Or is it just that the environment there in general is more closed minded about things? How much does that play into how you see yourself as a heel wearer? Are there things you don't do because of the societal pressures (such as wearing heels out in public (men and women))? Do you think the societal pressures are felt more if you're in a more rural area than if you were living in a big city like Atlanta or New York? Or are the societal pressures just as much in a big city?

I know that while looking for ballet heels on the net, i stumbled upon a site that was pro-heels but anti-ballet and "fetish" heels and anti-high heeled boots (which is WAY to many anti's for me!) and had all sorts of rules for who wears what kind of shoes and where they can be worn appropriatley and where they can't be worn. That was a total shock to me, because i OFTEN wear my 7+ "fetish" shoes to malls, movies, resturants, etc without even a second thought about it. Do alot of people really think like that? That certain heels are "bad" and certain ones are "good" and certain types of heels should never even be worn outside of closed doors? Do rules like these really factor into what heels to wear where and with whom? Call me naieve but i've never really heard of stuff like this before (even though i moved all over cuz dad was in the army). Maybe the ones who thought like this just instinctively knew to avoid me? Or is this not a very common occurence, people who think like that? And if it is common, do you think growing up in a "rural" area contributed to those type of thoughts? Do their opinions about it cause you to change your heel wearing behaviors?

Be Well.

Quite punny indeed!

Hey. I was reading a number of the posts on this site and i got curious. Does where you live play a factor in how out you are about your heeling? How much does it play in to your decision to be out or not? Can location play as much as a role in being out as a supportive partner or spouse?

My husband and I live in Atlanta, and we know ALOT of men and women that are into heeling and are out. Most of the guys we know will go to parties (fetish, goth, and regular) with their heels on and bring their wives, that may or may not also be into heeling. There's also a large population of gay, tvts, and crossdressers in atlanta, so it's not an unusual site to see men trying on high heels in alot of shoe stores. I didn't think this was just an Atlanta thing, but it seems from reading alot of the other posts that this is unusual. Is Atlanta just unique or does location not play that much of a part in being out?

Be Well.

Hey Shoegasmboy! Welcome to the group!

Welcome Mrk. When i'm shopping for shoes (i wear a 9-10 us) i usually look online at german and british sites. they seem to have a wide selection as far as sizes go for men AND women. Be Well.

Thank God! I was reading some of the posts on the for guys only forum and i thought i was one of the only women that didn't care if her husband wore high heels or not. Why do some women have a problem with it? Maybe someone could explain it to me?

Hey. My husband (shoegasmboy) and i stumbled upon this site searching the net last night and decided to join. We're both shoe fetishists (i like wearing them, shopping for them, looking at them, etc) and he likes seeing me in them! We thought this would be a great place to explore and discuss with like minded people. Have enjoyed the site so far and look forward to seeing more.

Be Well.
