A good start, got me waiting for the next bit...

chris u should live down my way, i have to listen out for the ice cream van or i miss it as it is very quiet.

Wouldn't matter how quiet it was, my kids would hear that ice cream van and start asking for one anyway. I have told them he only plays the tune when he has run out of ice cream.

wow, sounds like something to be experienced, and that you had about the best day you could ask for.

Then we were at Target and I showed them to her and she said that she did not like them. I said that I did not mean them for her but for me. She said that she would not like them on me, but her response was calm and controlled. She did not seem upset. Its sounds like she is willing to at least give it a chance. What do you think?

I think the fact you were out in public may mean she didn't want to cause a scene, so deliberately controlled herself. She may have been upset, but realised she would only draw more attention to herself if she did show it there and then.

I have been wrong before though, and these are just my own opinions as someone who doesn't know anything about your SO, only you would know for sure what to think.

I like the shoes, and congratulations on finding the courage to show your face, your a few steps ahead of me in the coming out stakes on that one.

order me a pair too, and I'll give you the verdict then Those do look cool for low heels, let us all know if you get them and how they feel.

Good video clip kneehighs, I was watching around you for reactions, nothing at all. You walk very naturally though, so I guess no one had reason to look down to see what you wore on your feet. Thanks for sharing the video.

Welcome to the forums, nice shoes you have already, enjoy them.

looks good to me, nice overall look. Whatever anyone says, enjoy your own style.

I am jealous now, I wanted a pair of white stiletto pumps like those ones you just got for a long time, but just don't seem to find them anywhere when I have the money/opportunity to buy them. Give me those shoes now!!! The butterfly ones look good, very unusual too, good purchases.

Keep telling us all of your adventures KneeHighs, your stories, and pictures are a great addition to the site.

Those look like a nice pair of boots and not too feminine despite the heel. A good choice for adding to your wardrobe Anton

The picture seems to have gone from your photobucket link NewfieGuyInHeels. I now have to confess again on here I have been wearing my ballerina pumps (flatties) to drive to and from work in the warmer weather, the openings at the toe and the cutout across the top make them ideal for keeping the feet cool on a 60 mile each way trip. On my way home I noticed the fuel was low, and debated whether to keep them on while refuelling. But I decided against it, I bottled out as I thought they looked too feminine and might draw attention. I changed into my usual footwear (which actually came from the womens section too, but are the same as mens style so don't count here as "womens" shoes) and filled up paid and left. Maybe next time I will keep them on whilst I fill up the tank.

That's a big step forward, hope it keeps going just as well for you with your mum.

Great job Kirkules, the whole look works perfectly, it's now wonder you were just accepted as a woman. Well done for finding the courage to go forward with it.

I agree with dr1819's comment about womens shoes even flatties being much more comfortable. Every time I try on a pair of my wifes sandals they feel so much more comfortable than any "mens" pair I have ever had.

£10.99 per month for unlimited broadband

I would watch those "unlimited" claims, when I had the talk talk rep in front of me and asked if it meant unlimited ie download as much as you like, no cap, he refused to answer the question directly, and said they did have a fair usage policy which in their terms.

Not so much long winded as a good story well told, sounds like the whole night was a great success. Well done for getting the courage up to just go out there and do it.

Heel-d, I think it was one of your posts before showing your flatties which inspired me to try them for myself. I thought they looked pretty good in your pictures.

Why shame? My question is direction not to just shyguy, but to all men and women who wear heels and/or flats

It was a bit of a tongue in cheek comment, I was saying I was ashamed to be admitting I liked the flatties on a high heel forum.

As for being ashamed of wearing "womens" shoes, I am not ashamed to wear them, but more wary of how others percieve a man wearing them.

Let us know which pair you prefer.

I have to admit the 5" courts gave me the biggest buzz, but the flats were easier to wear for a long time around the house, but I only get to wear any of my shoes when everyone else is out which doesn't happen often.

My favourite of all the shoes I have is probably the boots at the top right of the picture of my collection. Reason: my wife bought them for me even though she doesn't particularly like me wearing "womens" shoes. and second they fit and feel just great.

Thanks for sharing your side of the story with us all Stephanie, it's good to have a happy ending for all concerned too.

They are UGLY and truly deserve every capital letter in the word UGLY. They are just wrong on so many levels

some great quotes, and Stormie is excellently poised to give the kind of advice asked for as she is going through it from the point of view of the partner finding out. You do have a foot in the door so to speak by wearing your exercise sandals, so you could tell her why you wear those, and work towards telling her you'd like to try other shoes. In my case I took an interest in my wifes shoes when she was buying, and would say how comfortable they looked, or how nice. Eventually we spoke about it, and I told her I'd like to try them on for myself when she got a pair of sandals. After a bit of thought she let me, and I told her they felt good to wear. I done the same with other shoes as we are similar in size, and eventually told her of my liking for heels after I wore a pair of block heeled boots we'd chosen for her together. From there I moved on to tell her I wanted my own heeled shoes. This wasn't an over night fix, it took a couple of years. Jumping in with both feet will scare your wife, but build up from the start you have with your scholls and take it slowly. Give her time to adjust to each revelation before throwing the next at her. As the saying goes "slowly slowly catchee monkey".

As promised here are pics of the shoes I got.

5" courts

Ballerina flatties

And the boxed 5"

And 5" stilettos with knee highs

I'd like to do some better wearing shots, but we don't have any well lit mirrors here to do it.

The 5"ers I have managed to wear for about half an hour, and actually walked in quite easily, probably due to practise in my 4" heels before. But I did need the next size up from my usual, I am an 8UK the Ebay seller suggested in the description to go a size larger so I ordered a 9UK and these still pinch a little at the toes. Obviously walking in the flat ballerina pumps didn't require any practise

Here is a picture of all the "womens" shoes I now own (my wife says it's too many)

I agree with you, Xaphod, I have never found those magazines a turn on, just can't see any reason for them in my life and never have. That said, this topic is discussing the Playboy branding on items such as shoes, clothing and even wallpapers and bedding. This has very little to do with the magazine, but does it [the magazine] affect the way people perceive the Playboy brand?
