Heels in work - Part 1 THE OFFICE - Mixed colleague base. I shared with female colleagues, who shared with boss before I started wearing 4 inch heels on a daily basis. I was accepted by most and tolerated by others. Had been wearing heels most of the time for a couple of years before about 2 years in this job Heels in work - Part 2 RETAIL FOOD HALL - Working on shop floor now so lots of staff/customers to interact with each day. I started in 2 inch heels until most of my colleagues got to know the rHeel me and now I'm in 3-4 inch heels all the time. I've been in this job 18 months now and more confident. The footwear:

The support I get from my friends and work colleagues is brilliant. As well as wearing near 4" heels daily in work now, I've started keeping them on for the 2 buses I get home - and in the pub for a pint between buses. My trousers are no longer super long to try to hide the heel but there is an inch showing while standing and the heel is on full show when walking. I'm still careful about when and where I go heeling but I am slowly getting more confident. My page at blog.benico.biz is still being updated from time to time.

Unfortunately didn't get to meet anyone on this trip. Hopefully I'll do better next time.

Hopefully I'll be good for the Oxford Road window shopping from one London Heeler. Not sure I'll be buying unless I find a bargain. Suggestions for cheap places to shop for Ankle/Knee High Boots would be appreciated.

Shame I moved as I would only have been a mile or two away!

No worries. I'm just glad I've found a free place to stay. If this works well I may venture down south a bit more. My last and first visit was about 2 years ago.

If all goes well I'll be arriving in London on the evening of Monday 11th July before spending 2 full days based in the Isle of Dogs, with a Day at The Tower. Heading back up North on Thursday afternoon. If anyone is around that area and would like to meet up for a bit of window shopping and/or a couple of drinks then let me know. Fingers crossed that the weather will be better than my last visit down there.

I'm a size M36/F16 but only buy female jeans, other than one pair of long leg wranglers. I have one pair of super skinny jeans that I bought at Primark for no more than £10.

Greetings from Liverpool. Welcome to the ultimate Heel Forum.

If you do purchase something there, I'll bet they really treat you like a VIP. Hopefully you will find something there that you like and in your size.

I was amazed at the welcome I got there. Does make going back there much, much easier.

Found something I liked both times, fortunately.

Here are pictures of my purchases:

I agree but it is unusual getting such encouragement though.

My 2nd trip to a Liverpool Market Shop after my first purchase proved very popular. My first visit I tried a couple of pairs of ankle boots on. Size 8ish is borderline but I often find the larger sizes that fit well. Second visit I had been out for quite a walk and had thick socks on so trying on wasn't a practical option. The staff recognised me and said I was welcome to try anything I wanted and was very welcome. Despite declining this time they gave me a £5 discount. Very nice staff of various cultural/ethnic backgrounds. Will definitely be back there again in another couple of months. Shopping with encouragement - can't be bad.

Leaders

I'm still active on Facebook and often post about my Heeling Adventures, although I will restrict some photos and posts to friends I trust. Not that I have many that are likely to cause trouble for me. Most of my FB friends know about the rHeel me. I haven't added many other HH friends but would like to add others, especially other local(ish) guys-n-gals. There's a link in my signature to my FB and another to my rHeel Adventures.

I've sent you a friend request as your are a member of the NW UK group, which I've just joined. I haven't been very active on this site over the years but keep popping back for a quick visit. More active on FB.

Hi all. I'm still around and still out and about in heels. Work: I'm no longer working in an office but now on the shop floor. I'm in 3inch heels most days and most of my shifts although an hour or two in trainers is sometimes needed if I'm on my feet for too long. Pubs: As I'm in heels at work and on buses then pubs get the rHeel me treatment. I usually visit the gay/lesbian bars as I feel a little safer in there but I have gone heeling a very straight bar in a Liverpool suburb. The bar staff and manageress and a few of the regulars had no issue with me but last Saturday I met the "blokes with issues". I was just sitting quietly in a corner of the bar talking to my friends who are pub regulars. a) Manager and another customer just make a few jokes which I just join in with The staring guy. One of my friends had a word with him as he was just staring at my heels but too afraid to say anything c) The crying guy. One guy had a word with me as he was uncomfortable with me in heels but seemed more upset that anything else. d) The pusher. My first physical hassle. This guy twice came over to me and gave me a few pushes to the arm/chest. He didn't say much and didn't hang around either. Again a male friend who accepts my being different is looking forward to making sure he doesn't cause me any trouble if he takes issue with me again. The oddity of this defensive friend is that we are absolute opposites but despite this we accept each other's rights to have their views and just get on with life. It's the ignorant, judgemental people I struggle with but I avoid trouble. My blog is still being updated from time to time. See my signature for a link.

I've starting getting a lot braver and just try shoes/boots on not worrying about who is around. I tried heels on in 3 stores the other other day and ended up buying in 2 of them.

I'll hopefully get the chance to try-on in Manchester this Friday.

I'll be solo (unless anyone wants to meet up) and other than Deichmann I'm not sure where else I'll end up yet. Shopping for an 8/42 is getting easier.

A new dress, shorts and ankle boots - and why not.

I may not be allowed to wear them much around the house but I've still got to treat myself.

My 18 year old niece was staying over and approved. She even thought I should go out in the dress and stiletto knee high boots. Don't have confidence for that, especially when on my own.

This is a picture of me on the dress, which I wore in my local bar, but with black jeans. I don't try to stand out too much as I made that mistake in one bar and 2 girls took exception, made false allegations against me and got me barred. Sticking to safe places with friends now and being a bit less obvious.

Okay so I don't hide my 3" or 4" heels when i'm in my regular bar any more and often have knee high boots over jeans.

I'll hopefully be out in the dress again soon. I'm usually out in St Helens, Merseyside, which is a medium sized town with a slowly expanding gay scene. I'll hopefully get into Liverpool soon but will wait until I have friends to keep me company so that I can enjoy myself a bit more. Going solo isn't much fun.

May not have made much effort in London but back in my safe pub in St Helens I wore a short black zip fronted dress, skinny black jeans and black ankle boots - not the most bloke look but subtle. My girl friends approved. I did walk around a bit and didn't notice any comments from anyone else. Think this may be my new pub outfit. I think to wear shorter jeans and show heels properly in public I'll need a bit more confidence, hopefully from having someone with me. Don't do too well when I'm on my own, at least nothing too obvious. London usually gets better weather than up here in the North. I just picked a day when the weather turned and I left the sun behind.

Okay so Long Jeans covering the boots and heels, expect when I'm seated is discreet, although the sound of the heels does turn a few heads. My first trip to London was a bit of a wash out - literally. Not much to report as boots were far too discreet and the weather distracted most people more than the sound of my boots. Out in my Tan Boots in the pub tomorrow - my regular safe place. I'll have to save a few more pennies and visit London again, hopefully I'll get better weather and wear shorter jeans.

It all depends on what you want to do in London. Site seeing or shopping.

Haven't got many pennies at the moment so just sight seeing and window shopping.

Finishing off with a few drinks on the way back to the station.

Okay so it's not actually a weekend but it will be my first time in London.

Arriving in Euston at 3pm on Tue 15 and them having a wander around, hopefully not getting lost, for the next 6 hours.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I'm thinking of a cruise on the Thames but other than that I'm gonna but stuck for ideas, especially from about 7pm, until my train home.

The Home Situation

Heels+Mother = accepted, although her comments about accepting my fem side are cringe worthy to the extreme.

Heels+Step Dad = not acceptable. Heels on wooden floors make too much noise for him to be able to ignore it.

Fortunately I've got a pair of boots that I can walk quiet in so I can avoid flats, at least for now.

Getting Out

I haven't been out much as have been asked not to go out in heels, which doesn't help.

I am hoping to make my first visit to London one Tuesday during September so will get to spend 5 hours around the Euston Station area.

Haven't decided where I'm going yet but will only be window shopping and/or visiting Regents Park.

Out in heels? Of course. http://oy2.biz/birthdayboots2.jpg

Thanks for the advice folks. Will keep it subtle but I'm in heels nearly all the time now so being in flat shoes is unusual. I'll play it safe. Thanks again

My adventure continues. My ex-wife now knows about the rHeel me but isn't too impressed. Due to change in circumstances I'm having to move back in with my parents. What a challenge. I have warned them that my fashions aren't their norm and my mum says I've liked female clothes since I was 5 - I thought nearer 10. Not sure she's really keen on the idea but she's offered me a bed so it looks like the heels will be accepted in the house. Not sure I'll be in skirt and heels with them tho, especially my step-dad as they aren't really that open minded.
