    Heel Spurs Relieved By Heels!

    in The Infirmary - Foot care and related issues

    Posted

    I have a heel spur in my right foot that really hurts, even when wearing sneakers.  I have found that wearing heels actually helps relieve the pain!  Instead of the weight being concentrated on my heel, it's now transferred to the front of my foot.  I'm wearing the boots in my avatar, and I have almost no pain from the heel spur...

     

    Has anyone else experienced this?

     

    (Admin: wasn't sure if this belonged in the "infirmary" section or not, feel free to move if you feel it is best) 

    Breakthrough!

    in For the guys

    Posted

    So, last thursday night was my wife's birthday.  Her dad and I had agreed to get some family together and go out for dinner.  Now, up to this point, my wife has not been crazy about the idea of me wearing high heeled boots with my outfits.  Every time I had asked if I could wear them out, she had always given me a stern "NO".  

     

    That is, until last Thursday.

     

    I put on a nice black button down shirt with the sleeves rolled up just below my elbow (I do that to show off my tattoos).  I wore a nice pair of Calvin Klein men's jeans.

     

    I did ask her if I could wear my heels.  I was expecting her to say the usual "NO", but she instead replied "as long as they don't look too girly".

     

    This was the breakthrough I had been waiting for!  So I tried on a few pairs of boots and showed them to her with my whole outfit.  There were a couple pairs that she agreed would be "ok" because they weren't too obvious.

     

    However, being that several family members were attending (some being very closed-minded and judgmental), I decided that it would not be in my best interest to wear the heels that night.  Instead, I asked if I could wear them on our next date night, and she agreed!    

     

    I'm a happy guy right now!

    I got the boots yesterday.  I tried on my pants just to see how they look - and I do like them.  I just wish they came 3 inches high.  These are only 1.75 inches.  As far as the make-up goes, I brought it up to my wife and it's a no-go...she said my make-up is for band performances only...damn...

    Men Wearing Heels At Malls - A Challenge

    in For Everybody

    Posted

    I really like going to the mall and other crowded/busy places in heels.  I most often wear ~4-4.5" thicker heeled boots and usually wear bootcut jeans just as heelster mentioned in the first post.  I show an inch or two heel at the bottom, and I know some people notice but they really have to be paying attention, it is not obvious for most people who are busy with their own affairs.

     

    This year I have seen two different guys in my area wearing lower-mid heels, neither occasion was at the mall though.  :)

     

    Anyway, one guy was wearing shorts and a pair of nice black leather clog/mules with 2-2.5" heel, he was walking a good distance in front of me downtown and eventually turned another direction from where I was going.  The other guy was wearing a more rugged looking black leather motorcycle boot with a chunky heel, similar 2-2.5" heel height, with straight cut jeans, this was at a concert.  There was far too many people, noise, and commotion to even try to go over and talk to the guy.  So sadly I was not able to talk to either guy.

     

    Anyway, seeing two different guys in shoes like that in the past six months or so gives me a lot of hope...  Before this year, I had never seen any man in person wearing heels *as a man*, but I know I've seen guys in full drag and heels many years ago for various reasons... lol

    What concert? I wore heels like you are describing to a concert earlier this year...

    Help With Explaination

    Being a former "born again", now atheist, my advice to you - don't tell them anything.  Most born-agains tend not to think for themselves and aren't open-minded.  The bible says (Deut 22:5) that god detests men that wear women's clothing, and vice versa.  However, some Christians interpret this a little differently, to only include those people who want to change their full appearance to that of the opposite gender.  This interpretation allows women the right to wear pants without fear of pissing off their god.  You could use this as a defense, too, as long as you don't want to look like a woman.  In that case, they are just shoes. 

     

    To be safe - keep it to yourself.  Enjoy your heels as you see fit.  Don't feel guilty for not telling them - they're just shoes you happen to like.

    Who Has Daughters

    Good advice mlroseplant!  Yeah young girls are sweet and innocent, but I'm told that when they get to be teenagers, they can be at their worst, and can use anything against you to get what they want.  I often pondered the same question, because I have a 3 year old daughter myself.  As sweet as she is right now, and much as I would like to think that "it's not going to happen to my daughter", I have to face the reality that IT MIGHT.  NO SHOE is worth risking my life, my marriage, or my family.  The shoe is just the accessory that I enjoy elsewhere in my alone time or in the company of my friends that have accepted it.  Perhaps when your daughters are grown and in their 20's, they may be more open minded.  It's your job as a parent to teach acceptance and tolerance of others that are different.

    I'm rather surprised that you just didn't have the boot shafts taken in.

     

    I'm not one to show off knee boots.  I'm a bigger guy, so unfortunately knee high boots just don't work for me and my shape.  And it wasn't expensive to have them cut down and have the edges seamed - only $20.  It was completely worth it.  I have a couple other "more daring" pairs of knee boots that I will probably have cut down, too.

    Here's how the boots turned out.  Not too shabby, considering they used to be knee boots.  I had them cut down because the upper shaft was WAY too wide, even for my legs.  I was swimming in them.  But, I like them even more now.  They have a 3 inch heel.  I'm not sure how you would describe the shape of those heels.
     
    I DID wear these on the first night of the M3 Rock Festival...so here's the story, as promised...
     
    First, after we arrived to the hotel on Friday afternoon, it was time to get changed.  I wore a black men's button-up long sleeve collared shirt, with the sleeves rolled up to about 3/4 (the shirt has the loop that holds the sleeves in place - it's my usual gigging shirt when my band plays out).  I wore that along with a pair of men's faded black/gray jeans.  And then I put on the boots pictured above.  The jeans covered most of the heel.  The two friends that came along with me (a guy and a girl) approved my look.  After applying some black guy-liner and a small amount of mascara, it was time to head out.
     
    As we walked out of the hotel on our way to dinner, I found that these boots made a pretty good "clack" sound on the hard floor of the lobby, but one of my female friends who was with us was also wearing heels, so I don't think anyone noticed.  I just put on a confident face, looked straight ahead, and didn't really pay attention to anyone.
     
    We decided to go to a local Olive Garden.  We got out of my truck, walked in to the lobby, and got seated.  People saw us but no stares or anything.  On our way out, one of the waitresses complimented my look to which I replied a very friendly "thank you!"  
     
    Well, on the drive to the concert, we encountered some rush-hour traffic, and then it started to rain.  The traffic made us late for the concert, which means, when we arrived, we got one of the farthest parking spots from the venue entrance.  My boots and my balance were going to be tested, because the parking spot was on the wet grass, and the walkway to the venue was dirt - nothing paved.  I thought I might fall, but thanks to all the practice I get at home, I didn't.  
     
    It was a very long walk, up a very steep hill to the entrance of the venue (Merriweather Post Pavilion in Maryland).  I hadn't walked up a hill in heels before but I just took slightly shorter steps and I was fine.  Unfortunately I didn't bring any rain gear, so by the time I got to my seat, I was very wet.  I must have walked by 1000 people, but no one said anything.  Again, the heels were concealed by the jeans, and it was raining, so I wasn't expecting anyone to REALLY notice.
     
    I got to see 4 bands - during the last two, everyone was standing, so I had to as well so I could see the stage.  It was a great show, and my feet really didn't hurt after standing in the boots for almost an hour and a half.  
     
    When the concert was over, the rain had stopped.  Now I had to go down that steep hill, and that was challenging, I took extra short steps, like my female friend was doing with her heels on.  That was probably the most conspicuous I was during the whole night.  Again, no one noticed or commented, or no one really cared...
     
    The Lady Gaga concert next week was to be my next venture out in heels, however they moved the date to a night that I could not go, so we're selling the tickets.  So, my next venture out just might be next year's M3 festival.  We shall see...but I do have a lot more confidence under my belt now...
