Hmmm you could be onto something there. Maybe that disclaimer should be on a label inside the box, with a note outside saying you agree to it by the action of opening the box or something.

in two words "snob value" for the more pedantic among us

It's the name, I think it's made from a very rare metallic element and put on the articles of clothing/ footwear using a special process handed down through generations of designers who all descended from a long lost tribe of ancients. Or it's just that some people are willing to pay through the nose to have exactly the same stuff you can buy for a tenth of the price because they can display a designer label.

I think they were used in moon landings.

Great pics, you wear them all well. An asset to those who wish to change society's views on men in heels. You show it can be done with style and masculinity.

Yeah that's a great pic of the billboar Bobsmith, that's caught my eye a few times and also the other Lux one with the white shoes. I can imagine it felt strange taking pics of the billboard, Kudos to you for persevering.

Those first shoes look very stealthy apart from the height. It's good to know you get positive reactions all the time, and as you say it looks like a trend you are starting. I also like the other shoes, the slides look good apart from the pattern in the sole. Congrats on having the guts to dare to be different.

Wow they look great, something to aspire to one day

I agree with ya Daz, I'm always pointing this inequality out to my wife hoping she will allow me more choice in shoes, by using the womens section. Check out catalogues and see how many pages each gender has for clothes or shoes. It sucks for us guys

What a great story, and you shine through Mickey68 as a woman who has little by little come to terms with something very difficult for you to grasp. This is exactly how my wife currently describes her feelings of losing her femininity if I am in womens shoes. She also said she would divorce me if she caught me dressing up in her clothes, which isn't on the agenda anyway, as I am only into the shoes. Well done to both of you coming to terms with it.

Come on HF less of those kind of obscenities, I know this is the place for the shoes without style, but no need for profanity.

Keep spreading the word Vicki. The more heels on show the better.

Very elegant, and very sexy shoes. Nice looking heel too very nice.

Great story, and you sound like you really enjoyed it, both of you. Long may it continue too.

It is amazing that nature never took over somewhere. It's surely inbuilt instinct to procreate or no species would survive ad certainly not prosper like humans. Curiouser and curiouser

What an interesting post, and an unusual topic. The ad was a great find Paul, and Lucy's input into the feeling of wearing them adds the icing to the cake. It does sound as if the springolator took the danger and excitement element away from the mules making them nothing more than shoes. Would be interesting to wear them and a normal mule and see the difference for myself. Great detective work finding that gem Paul, and great memory Lucy well described.

DawnHH and Mickey68, you have given me good advice, and encouragement, but mostly shown me it can work out in a relationship when a man wears heels. That is my spur to take it slow and stay positive. I wouldn't have the patience I do or the determination to continue without the support of many members of this board.

Update

Was trying on the new shoes I bought for mrs shyguy yesterday and spent about an hour in some higher mules we chose together. We spent that time together discussing the fit and comfort of those and another pair of (low) sandals quite naturally and without any negatives about them being on my feet. Small steps. All forward.

A shorter update today, the shoes going back isn't the be all and end all. We are still in discussion about me choosing/buying some shoes for me, and mrs shyguy says just to give her time to get her head around it, and keep wearing her shoes to help her with the idea of me in womens shoes. We are still going forward but at her pace. Who knows we may become the next DawnHH and Mickey68 on the boards in time I hope she can be as cool with it as Mickey68 anyway, you're a lucky guy DawnHH
