Not sure they will catch on as biker boots, but thanks for sharing the pics and video Jimc.

Good to hear about another positive reaction from a friend/work colleague. It's always encouraging to hear these stories. Thanks Johnieheel.

It has been on here before, but it's worth a revival now and then

As always Kneehighs another inspirational tale. You not only get out there in high heels, you do it with style and seem to get a good reaction from everyone you meet. Thanks for taking the time to share these tales with us all.

I think it has already been said, and it applies to this thread as well as other areas of life. "There is no right or wrong, only opinions"

OK lets add to the don't go to list "anywhere you might find Dr. Shoe"

Couldn't make it as some friends decided to drop by with short warning. Looking forward to reading the reports though

A little while ago these kind of high heeled "sneakers" were fairly common, I even recall seeing a thread here on this forum with some in. I liked them myself, but unfortunately never followed through on purchasing any. There were at that time loads on Ebay. I guess it's another fashion which has been around and gone again for a while till someone re-invents it.

Hi.

My wife does not like me walking in women shoes. But, she has no problem if I wear them when she is not around.

What intrigues me is the why behind this. Basically;

1. I'm losing my masculinity

2. What will others think of us?

Are these common?

And how did you deal with 'losing masculinity'?

mt.

Those are the same arguments my wife puts forward, she married a man (masculinity) and what would neighbours / friends think of it.

I have the same agreement, wear heels in private, when she can't see them.

I have worn slightly wedge heeled shoes, which my wife gave to me as I told her that they were a bit too masculine (turn about is fair play no?), and worn them shopping. This has not changed her view nor has seeing me in heels sometimes and still being masculine while wearing them.

Why she has these views, I guess it's the human instinct to follow the herd

and this wouldn't be conforming.

Boy, did trying to be honst come bite me in the butt here.

You guys are way ovverreacting.

No disrespect pumps, I don't know you at all, but using a strong word like hate in the short sentence you did was surely going to provoke the kind of debate you have seen here.

I can't believe you didn't expect it ?

But it has certainly livened things up here.

Great story JH, you are becoming a legend in your own town.

The pics I saw of the so called high heels he wore did not look that high, certainly nothing to write a whole newspaper article on.

Tell her thanks for sharing and she wears them well.

Looking good JH, I always liked white shoes but never found a pair I felt looked right for me. You just got the right look.

Kind of a sweeping generalisation there, not all women say those things, so you can't hate all women. Look at the posts on this forum from johnieheel and others about their supportive partners. My wife is not supportive but if you met her I'd hope you wouldn't hate her. Just my opinion of course, but more positive sentiments are probably better for the "cause" long term than negatives like hate.

All great looking shoes / boots, how can anyone who encourages you to buy and wear heels be a bad influence ?

I still have my site but its closing down in a few months ..due to lack of a webmaster ...

Can you not find a new webmaster instead?

Just put in my application to join

Nice pics Vivienne_k thanks for sharing with us all.

Thanks Amanda for thinking of us guys when you spot something interesting. Yes it's a shame about it being an archive article, but still an interesting read for if the fashion comes around again.

I played at Second Life a while back, and you do have the option of designing (re-designing) the shoes which are available, by choosing heels, and raising the height. Yes I did try some heels out on there and play with the height and style. I just got bored with it very quickly.

looking good Bootwalker, a nicely co-ordinated outfit. Great shoes, and it all works nicely together.

Thanks for an in-depth report FF, it was worth reading through, for the positive and negative feelings you felt on your adventure. Great post.

That's a great positive story RD, glad you managed to keep a friend. Even better that you found the confidence to go out and be yourself in heels. Hope you find a great place to live, with your positive attitude I can't see you doing anything but.

great looking shoes, of course we want to see the pics, why didn't you use the picture upload here instead of Photobucket?
