she is the temporary  manager.        I am a tenant   going into the office too ask a question about my rent..             My apologies,   the first few words make it seem like I was the temporary manager.      This might change the answers now.

Complimenting her.    Me knowing  about nail polish  might be the catalyst.       Ladies in the past I knew or worked with loved when I noticed  their new nail polish or shoes or outfit Etc.    I noticed and their husbands or boyfriends did not

Basically,    Temporary manager at the apartment complex I live at.    I said too the lady nice nail polish (O.P.I or Essie  I said)    followed by  nice ballerina flats and she had her feet out and I said nice pedicure.    Conversation involved  asking if she was married and her response was engaged 11 years.   She told me without asking she had older teenagers.    I am married    by the way and   I always compliment any Lady    ( might not after this.)   nice outfit or shoes   nail polish or hairdo.    2 days later I am smoking a cigarette  with the maintenance man  we are friends there and he said I need to let you know   the manager was uncomfortable with  you talking about how her nails and shoes and  she mentioned this the other temp manager too.          friend said  I might steer  clear of the office. for awhile.         Would that have been harassment on my part?            Thank goodness I did not mention the 100 pairs of  pretty shoes I own    And a good thing I was not wearing a pretty pair.    Opinions please.

Love the red sandals.  Would they fit a wider foot?

1 pair of sneakers and 100 pairs of ladies shoes size 10.

I play  drums at my house.   And yes  occasionally I will wear sandals with about a 4 inch heel no platform because i want to be able to feel the pedal on the bass drum and hi-hats.    Builds up your calves and ankles and also changes how the attack of the feet to the pedals and really does improve your control,  and time signatures on the drums.   (I play jazz and old rock and roll)    A lot of control to keep my feet and the heels from sliding off the pedals.   ( I play heel down on the pedals  and if I do toe down! in heels I get a  lot more power  on the bass pedal and a louder  thump!    Sheila E from Princes band always wore heels standing or sitting playing percussion,   And she can work those legs and high heels and not lose a beat exceptional Drummer check out You Tube videos on her style of percussion.   And the gorgeous   heels she wears.        Nice Question.

All three sites ladies , men and everyone already show leggings in one form or the other.

Evening sandals to sure   and the site says the do custom width which I like.    I noticed these a few years ago and wanted to know the brand.   Thanks for finding out

I would love to have a pair of Valentino Rock Stud Sandals.   But I have wide feet and they are too narrow.   I even look at Amazon.com  at the knock off Brands  (size 9 and a half to a size 10 in Womens by the way)   A desire yes (not a fetish)  I will leave it at that

Once or twice,  Jennifer did not like getting poked by a stiletto in the side of her leg or all the straps of the sandal rubbing on her leg!      The girls forum seems to have better luck from the posts I have read.      Jennifer does not mind us laying in bed with me wearing heels,   Just not me sleeping in them.

I admit that I have a few pairs of heels that are too tight  over the toes.   One brand I have is called Vaneli and the sandal is called Milena an h-band type sandal. I like these sandals and wear around the house  once in a while they are leather just cannot get them too stretch?   I know if they do not fit the forum recommends not to wear because of possible injury or plain being uncomfortable.   And yes when I take them off the red mark  of Sorry you should not be wearing those(lol)    But is it alright to wear an hour here and there.   I have worn over at the Sister in-laws before and she thought they were cute especially when I had on some O.P.I Red nail polish on the toe nails.    

Mr Wanderer,   Homosexual?         I would suggest reading all the posts you can and read the earliest ones especially.    The word Gay might be used sparingly.    But Homosexual. Not so much.     I  realized after the first reading I did on this site and first question I asked after that.   Sneakers and boots and (strappy sandals my favorite!) are just footwear.    Enjoy! Life is too short.     Welcome to the site.

I have purchased this brand thru my Local DSW In Dayton Ohio     The Manager Jeanna recommended and told me how to properly apply and it seems to work well for me.  Have not been out in a rain storm and have my treated shoes soaked,   But happy so far   And the entire staff there would not  have me buy product if it did not work.     Follow the directions and you should be fine.    That is what I like about my local DSW  They  at least for me    back their accessories and shoes and if I am not happy even   past return policy will make it right    I  love to shop there and give them positive feedback.

I know these topics are older but it it very nice reading.   You can see how the views and questions have changed with the times.    I see from topics years ago how the wording is very mellow and if it makes  sense very proper (not politically correct) but question or answers that do not get off the subject(I am sure I sound like i am babbling)    This is in response to ElectricFoxx in how he is giving up his heel collection to because he does not want his girlfriend soon too be his wife. finding out about his appreciation(I do not call wearing high heels a fetish-Just my opinion   some lady friends  tell me I have one tho!) of  ladies foot wear.     And the heels and mules in his collection    Nice  shoes. (   I  like the black stilettos with the 5 inch heels and the very worn foot  bed)    I too like strappy sandals.         I am going  to read all the topics again from the beginning of this site.      Just the fact in how  lurking to actually joining and asking questions.     And how this will be a positive benefit and more of an active participation.   and to go over to my shoe closet and get a pair of heels out and put them on to enjoy as the main reason I wanted(needed  L.O.L) to wear in the first place

Answer to Jeremy1986-   I am lucky my shoe arsenal (if the silhouette on the screen has a lady wearing gladiator sandals I have almost the same pair  that lace or buckle all the way up to the knees or even songs  that have boots with heels I get real close)     Makes the game even more fun.   Especially when my wife Jennifer says don,t you have a pair like she is wearing!   L.O.L         

Me and the family play Just Dance on Play station 4.  And that uses a camera so I wear my high heel sandals and shorts and have a great time and the play back shows how much I need dance lessons    But the fact I can see along with the rest of family (sister in-law comes over and wears her heels and we do a duet) a blast!    Dancing on video helps with learning to balance and walk and do fancy moves and hoping to not fall.   And it is one way to get online and show the world wide web my moves.

Has to be Franco Sarto.      My local DSW I shop at,  the Manager her name is Jeanna  she knows my tastes in heel size varies and when I walk in might be flats or 4 inch heels.   When I first started shopping there.   She asked if I needed help and what I was looking for,  I said high heels. her and me chuckled for a minute.    I told her I was a regular at Bakers shoes,   But the styles always were on the narrow side and I wear a 9 and a half too a size 10 wide.    She recommended Franco Sartos and showed me a few styles and told me to try them on and see how they fit.   Not bad I told her.   she had me walk around the store in the heels and said those look nice and that she wished that she could wear heels like that and that I walk very well in them (that is a good ice breaker).   She knows I like strappy sandals with a 2 to 3 inch heel and will hold back a pair or two  that she thinks I might like(no buying pressure).   The staff is excellent and and enjoy me coming in.   Even if I do not purchase ,The Ladies say I know more about the shoes and brands in the store more than them    and they love my feedback.    Franco Sartos then Nine West    And any Feminine sandal that fits and is semi comfortable regardless of brand that looks pretty on my feet!

My wife painted my toe nails years ago with OPI purple and I am hooked on  this brand since.    It does take a base coat and 2 color coats and a top coat for the nails to to look great. Also noticed OPI goes on better when temperature is about 74 degrees.

My loving wife always says so what heels did you buy this time.   She will say dont you have that pair already and I say yes but a different color(if they are comfortable and fit I try to get all available colors)   My sister in-law has my back and does say she does the same thing because different outfits can go with different colors of the same heels or sandals even wedges.    I do appreciate the feedback on my post.   It really made my day!    And to JKrenzer   You are right nobody needs heels.   But I am glad they are there if I need them

Cali,  That was quick reply.          And those rules are very sound.      I do need to set those kind of limits     Never thought I would have more than one pair!

I have come to the conclusion that I am addicted to shoes.   Even when I am low on money and show up to my local DSW or any shoe store and see a pretty pair of sandals or heels and slip them on my feet and how nice they look or feel.   That I need them, even tho I  might have a similar pair   and after I spend this money I should have used it for ( ex-gas for the car or clothes)     I have not wore my heels or sandals for about a month not even just walking around the house.   they sit in their shoe boxes in the closet and even months ago I started wearing 2 and three inch heels(Gasp!) instead of the 4 inch heels./   I like  having a shoe collection  (about 100 pairs   Franco Sarto,  Nine west,   Mix no./ 6 and BcbGeneration)   I have a wider foot size 10 so certain styles are to narrow not to say I have not tried to cram my feet into those styles and have bought a pair or two or three even tho they are too tight.      But I can still prance around the house in them and wish they were available in wide   and I hate buying a size too big  too much toe box and have yet to have a pair where my toes actually go to the end.        I love this site   All whom love heels and all the articles.   Great reading.       But now for a few years I just buy and wear  once or twice and retire them to their shoe box and stumble on them  months later       I miss the excitement of the look or knowing that is a leather  sandal or heel I am taking out of the shoe box          I need to appreciate more what is in those shoe boxes in the closet.  Than what heels could be in the closet.     This is finally my time on the site.   Long over due      Thank You.

I noticed an article on Yahoo which shows a man in High Heels and a Speedo.     It is called   This man slays walking in heels like no other.    I read the article and the majority of the comments were not too positive showing a man wearing High Heels.   There was suppose to be a video with this article but  Yahoo has a way of not showing important parts or deleting key points!   Has  any other member seen this article and what do you think?       He does wear the heels quite nicely with his  muscular legs.   But some comments refer to this as propaganda and a dislike for Cosmopolitan. because of the article.

President Barrack Obama received Nobel peace prize  when he took office and a few peoples eye lids fell off and still a few want to know why he received one?   I do believe there were a few more people that deserved the Nobel instead of him.   But this is not a political discussion.      So   I will stick to being happy wearing my strappy sandals!

I see most people wearing flip flops and when I see ladies wearing heels they have a platform.   Never see guys around my town wearing heels except me and I wear boot cut ladies levis that cover most of the heels.   I actually am wearing shorter heel sandals because there are some really cute  designs I like and some are sexy at that. 3 inch heels or sandals are breeze so why not enjoy at least for me.  Some of the gallery pictures I have seen are lower heels they look great!

That is a very positive paragraph on high heels.   Welcome to the site.

Welcome Carol,      This is a great place for the High Heel wearer like yourself.    Great topics and lots of friendly people.     Enjoy!
