Looking good, Autumnheels, kudos to you for getting out there and kudos to your GF for supporting you.

For me personally I would prefer a section to try on shoes in private, and in my opinion a lot of other guys who may want to buy heels would be the same. On this forum you're bound to get a skewed opinion as a lot of guys here are open about wearing and trying on shoes. I'm sure there must be thousands of men however who do not frequent these boards but may try on heels if they had the privacy. I think Nigel has the right idea, have a small area seperated off, and make sure people are aware you can cater to their tastes in footwear and enable them to maintain their dignity.

That would explain why my kneeboots come way up past my ankles then. At least I know for the future.

In continuation of johnieheels theme how about genderlessheels

The discount shoes have taken the lead. I did not expect that with the amount of men in here. Do men do to the discount shoe stores and purchase them or do they usually buy them online?

My answer is that since my wife doesn't like me in heels, it would be hard to justify high prices for something I will wear indoors only when she isn't around. I also have a family to think of before spending on "luxuries"

Back on topic, shoe swop evenings sounds like a good idea in theory though. Could be interesting.

UK8 here too Firefox, maybe most of us guys with smaller feet are more shy?

Anyone like my new avatar?

Looking good Dr. Shoe, a great look which works well for you.

Here is my latest purchase. Black Patent Steve Madden "Steven" Mary Jane pumps. They have two straps, instead of the typical mary jane pump which has one. Beautiful and sleek. About a 4" heel, maybe 4 1/2". They are hot!

Those are hot, I saw some similar recently and thought they looked good with the two straps. I like the heel on the ones you just bought too.

Enjoy them pumpedup.

When you get there it does say Unisex in the gender field by the size selection.

Thank you for your post Amanda, it's nice to hear a womans view, and a supportive one.

There was a man who wore heels indoors Found a website called mysexyshoestore Saw shoes that would please and the boots were a tease With prices that won't make you poor

How do you get that blank look on your face? CJ

It takes a lot of watching television to get a look that blank.

I managed to get a small tipped superglue tube between the rear and the flappy bit which was folding and squirt in some glue. I held it pushed outwards and it seems to have stuck ok, and I can wear the boots now.

Thanks for some inspiring stories, and a great post Maxamillian. Glad to hear you're comfortable with where you find yourself now.

Great looking shoes, and another great outing for you Jonieheel, keep telling us about your adventures and reactions you get I for one love hearing about them.

Shouldn't these be in the streetheels thread ?

Merry christmas to one and all, and happy heeling new year.

A great story, well told. Thanks for bringing it to us Maverick.

These are my favourites of the year, were cheap in the sale, they fit perfectly, and are comfortable. They also look great.

Just saw that crocs, the makers of those plastic shoes which you love to hate, have now got a new style with a heel.

I hope someone has some ideas for this problem. The knee high boots I got from ebay have been stored badly, and when I got them the support behind the ankle was soft. It means when I put them on the bit of whatever it is between the inner lining and outer leather creases and makes one boot uncomfortable. Sorry for gettin over technical there but does anyone have any ideas how I can stop this bit from being pushed down as I put them on? I guess a shoe horn may help, but I'm looking for something more permanent.

I had to explain this to my wife a few years back, as I do look at women to see what shoes they're wearing. She understands now it's just a shoe thing, and doesn't reflect on her or how much she means to me.

Hey Dawn and Mickey, good to hear you are both still around. I really do wish Mickey the fastest of recoveries, and both of you take care of yourselves and each other. As Bubba says there are worse things than losing a leg, indeed a friend of mine lost a foot to infection, then his leg, but 6 months later he was walking on an artificial one so that no one would ever know anything different. On a brighter note, you haven't lost anything yet Mickey, and you both have each other still, so don't ever give up.

An amusing little incident happened to me recently. After I had bought my knee high boots (low heels) my wife immediately gave me the disapproving look and forbid me to wear them with her around. Shortly afterwards we were going out, and I put on a pair of my mens boots which I hadn't worn for a long time. As we went to leave my wife looked down at my shoes and started to have a go, telling me to get those off now, etc. She thought I was wearing the knee high boots, till I started laughing and showed her they were my mens boots. But it also proved how much the new boots look masculine as she mistook my old boots for them as they have the same shape front.
