Yep, have to agree. Many styles I wear now that I didn't dare to in the past.

I love it, yes heels are low but still all male, fury legs and all. I think it's the best I've seen towards men in general yet.

Next week

Has anyone seen a 5" single sole stiletto with steel toes?  I can't seem to find them!!!

I have a pair from FSJ. Should bring them in. Have mentioned to these guys I have "SAFETY" stilettos. Next week I'll try to remember. Should go over well I think.

Me at work. Not sure why it's so uncomfortable posing. Never feels normal.  Anyway, my neighbor coworker is not in yet but this would be his pov. 

Could never ask him to take a pic.

Exceptionally nice. Those are great looking and fit well is a bonus.

I'm in the information technology industry so no security restrictions.

It's not security as much as safety. The brown shoes in the photo are steel toed safety shoes.

I'll switch to boots in the autumn. 

Keep heeling my friend. My shoes have been used with good humor by me putting coworkers initially at ease. Have not been a butt of any I'll humor and my respect within the building is as high as ever.

So good. I've done the same thing now. Been wearing openly at work for nearly a year now. Have been no issues at all. My basic work attire now is, high end polo shirt, pants and 5 inch stiletto pumps. Classic pumps and mary janes mostly. No sandals or open toes. I keep 4 pair at my desk. Since it's a factory I'm limited to office only just like anyone else. 

My work space

I used that line for yrs, every time I had to get up extra early for work

Sharp clean look.

Please post pics of the 1st boots, pumps and you newly purchased stiletto boots for reference. Great story.

I've been close many times, usually on hard supermarket floors. Glad you're OK.

Socks with sandals? Please no.  I only wear socks with closed toe shoes shoes, which was about once in the last two months. At 67 its sandals with pads. I'm lucky, my toe nails are in get shape.

You are  luck at that. You have oddly small nails, that has to help.

Same for me. The ball skin hurts after a few hours. Or a few miles walk. Depending on the material of the socks it could make a big difference. Long distance bare foot is a no way for me 

Can't wear socks in sandals.

I don't wear open toed sandals due to my toe nails. At 59, they just haven't held up.

That's quite the record you have. I have no clue what I've worn or when. After a few days, the memory fades and I've never jotted down my choices. I know which are my favorites and seem to rotate amongst them most.

Sounds to me like Söfft has become your favorite brand based on comfort. 

I don't get the sandal seam placement. Seems if the could move just a bit forward would help. Realize they need the tip to be rounded into the sole unlike pumps for better structural protection, but seam is in a bad place.

You can see the colour of the heels in this better lit picture

Perfect color match with your hose.

This used to happen to me all the time. I did not react as well as you did, usually I whipped out my own phone and pretended to take pictures of whoever had their phone out at me. However, times have changed, and I have changed. I haven't noticed anybody trying to record my image in a long time. It probably still happens, but not like it did 5-10 years ago. Maybe I just walk better now?

Being more comfortable in your heels reduces your own alertness. I used to know all around me but as I have become more comfortable I have become less aware of my surroundings. My guess, people are still taking pictures, you're just not on to them. For me that's fine. I know I'm the odd character, even most women don't wear the heels I sport and not nearly as frequently. 

Excellent,  should pay more attention.

I so agree. Those heels are so lovely and classic. I'm never sure I should be posting as a Tgirl in the guys section. I love to be out in high heels but I never had the courage to wear them in guy mode. But I have the greatest admiration for those that do.

I do it all the time, never an issue even empowered to some degree. 

Excellent casual look. Love the rush even years later of openly wearing my heels.

Great looking comfort shoes and love the bold color.

Perfect classic pumps

Nice lower heels, well done.

Bow legged is natural, not much you can do about it. I'm the same. In my case its my left leg that wears heels faster. Eventually after enough heel tap replacements my shoe itself won't stand up as the heel will be twisted outward at the top, i.e. the heel tip is inside of center. Once that happens I consider the shoes to be worn out. Takes a lot of wear so it just is.

I see rockup replied to his post. He should join us too.

Nice story but to not buy something, especially since he loved a couple pair, wasted the sales staff's time.
