Hey Bailey, great shoes, and the pedi complements them nicely. Well done! I assume you wear “out”, at least occasionally?

That's the good side of that leg. Bicycle accident, my bicycle was grabbed by some tree roots.  It's extremely minor and I hope to keep it that way. My real issue now is with an injury to some repaired tendons (reconstructed in 2000) in my foot, they're not responding to physical therapy.

Yikes, Cali! Hope you heal quickly, heal thoroughly.

I’ve noted that several of the thrift stores here do not sort shoes by size. Kind of a pain, otherwise I’d probably go more often. Of course as others noted, so 13 are spare pickings no matter where I go.

MLR, those look great! Major score, hope you are able to get ‘em comfy.

Cali - great shoes, great look!

Cali, those look great! Please give us a “wearing report” when you can.

Almost 40 years ago, my now adult son had a sort of built-in clock, and on Saturday mornings, just before 7 AM (yikes!) he would awaken me with “ ‘toons, daddy!” And we would watch escapades of The Roadrunner and the Coyote. I loved the quirky slapstick humor, and this brings back fond memories.

BOotlover, that’s a great look!

If i came into your office and asked for job, would you hire me?

Late to the game but here goes. I don’t yet know if I would hire you. I’m an engineer (now retired) so I would investigate your education, experience, and learned/retained technical skills. I’d also investigate your willingness and propensity to work collaboratively. As to attire - is it clean and well-fitting, and at least somewhat coordinated (yours looks like it is.)

That is all!

I’ve been fascinated with earrings for along as I can remember, starting as a small child and staring at my mom’s and favorite aunt’s earrings - clip or screw back at the time (I’m an OF!) Then, in grade school, reading National Geographic, I learned that in some locations and cultures, men also wore earrings. It was about then that I became aware of the practice of piercing ears, though I didn’t know or understand the details. In my college years, mid 60’s, girls were piercing their ears regularly, but I was a nerdy and heavily loaded (academically) engineering student, so I did not have much of a social life to interact with girls and learn more.

Out of college in the early 70’s, a now long-gone girlfriend actually asked if she could pierce my ears. I was delighted with the notion, but my job involved close interaction with the military and I doubted the look would have been accepted, so I declined. But she somehow planted a seed.

I’m recently retired, so job considerations are no longer a matter. But my dear wife is definitely not a fan of men with earrings. Were it not for her feelings, I would have mine done in a half a heartbeat.

To those of you who do pull off the style, clip ons or pierced - good for you, and I’m a little envious.

There is a forum for men wearing skirts - www.skirtcafe.org. I’m not a skirt wearer, but stumbled across that one looking for something else.

Don't know if your aware of this, but Tech started a different website just for some of us that do get into legware - - 

https://legwearplace.org/

Same format etc, and it could use a wee bit more traffic.

Join some of us over there, and maybe we can help address the post !!!

 

Thanks for the recruiting effort, Heelster! It’s a bit quiet over there...

Balletboot, you are raising the bar VERY high! Well done.

Great shoes, great look. Nice pedi also. Kudos!

Hey Balletboot, that IS a GOOD look! Kudos!

Logjam

Redcourts, that’s a great look!

Mlroseplant - heels or not, bless you for spreading some cheer and light as you did.

Hey Pebbles, fine looking boots!

Hey Chaosheels, off topic, but kudos on the artwork on the calves! I’m a fan. May I ask - is there a story behind the pieces,or did you just like the look?

Regards, Logjam

I am a big fan of this style/look. I noticed that Nordstrom (for overseas friends, bigger US retailer) has several similar styles - slightly wider straps, and more of a chunky heel, which is a very good thing for an older, slightly overweight guy. They also are available in a US 13 size which I need. I haven’t taken the plunge just yet but thinking...

Logjam,

I like your phoenix tattoo on the ankle. I don't recall seeing another member with an ankle tattoo visible in a post. Must look awesome when you have heels on.

Cali,

I follow what you said about diabetes. My brother-in-law in Mexicali lost a toe in 2015 to diabetes and my wife has type 2 diabetes which she has to monitor. It would seem my family's outstanding health, there are three centenarians and 15 over the age of 90 on father's and mother's side of family, is counterbalanced by medical issues sprinkled around my wife's family.  My father and eleven of his siblings are over 84 so I planned very long term financially. I shall stick to drinking coffee, the daily beer, and eating non-GMO foods whenever possible.   HappyinHeels

Thanks, HiH, for the compliment on my tattoo. I’m very fond of my tattoo as it has great significance for me. Plus, I really enjoy wearing the artwork and color! And I have several photos of the tattoo with heels over in the “best men’s legs...” thread.

I would certainly agree that women have far more leeway to borrow from the men’s aisle - but then again they have taken those liberties themselves, not waited to be granted them by society at large. They have shaped the fashion rules, rather than be shaped by them. Men, for a variety of reasons, don’t dare. 

Agreed.

I’m just a tad under 6 ft., so nope. Actually never thought about it much, if at all.

Taking this a bit further off topic - another vote FOR pedicures. With or without color, just get it done for health if nothing else.
