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

The overall effect looks great, the heels really work well in all the pics.

Great story Paul, I also like the look of a stiletto mule on a lady, very sexy. You tell the story as only a true shoelover could. Keep em coming

Thanks for all your comments, all I can say is Mrs shyguy has said these go back, and no more stilettos as she hates them in general, and detests them on me. FYI we have had long discussions on my wearing, and she will tolerate me wearing her shoes of any height she has but does not want me having my own. I have to respect her wishes, this was a big deal for her to let me try stilettos in front of her, and I love her too much to go behind her back or push too hard for the sake of heel wearing. We have a compromise in her (albeit not very high) shoes being available to me whenever I feel the need, and I am not going to keep pushing the issue at the risk of losing what we have.

We have been married 4 years and been together nearly 8 years and been friends for much longer. We have a mutual respect, and understanding and I understand her reasons for not liking me in feminine shoes, reasons personal to her I need not go into here.

Again thanks everyone for your support and encouragement.

P.S. Mickey68 says

If your wife is not too old, why does she wear such frumpy style shoes?

Yeah how many nephews could you handle And I also want to know the meaning of namaste please do tell, Anita c.
