  1. JeffB -

     

    Back in 2008 I posted this thread about a Guy's progress in heels (now locked).  It still seems relevant today.  Everyone progresses at their own speed and stops on the path where they are happy.

     

    I think I find wearing skirts as much an expression of my feminine side as it is a counter culture fashion statement.  Regardless of which statement, skirts are a fun and comfortable garment to wear.

    Considering fun and comfort, the next best step I took, some 5 years ago, have been to wear dresses. Ok! The first few days, without wearing wig and makeup, I felt I might be pushing the envelope a bit too far. But a few compliments on the long strapless dresses I wore made me much more at ease. So much so that, last summer, I started to wear false boobs because that broaden the choice of dresses I enjoyed wearing.

  2. Hello everyone,

    Many thanks for your support. As I mentioned before, the problem might be with the size as there are not so many shops which sell UK9/EU42 size.

    I've also seen the Atmosphere wedges but they were only up to UK8. Primark is not available in Poland and they don't sell over the Internet so the only way is to find them on Ebay.

    I'm also thinking about Steve Madden Gravityy wedges but they claim to be UK8/EU42. I'm affraid that the size might be too small after all. But I'll try to buy them if I catch the occassion.

    Best regards!

    Maybe, you should have a look at: http://www.aliexpress.com/item/free-shipping-gz-wedge-ankle-gold-metal-strap-peep-toe-genuine-real-suede-leather-sandals-shoes/1071060749.html

  3. Well the wearer's feet have heels which are elevated and with the elegant foot posture they can only be classed as high heels in my book. They look like they'd be tremendous fun to try on and walk in.

    I assumed that when sitting down it'd be tiring to keep the foot extended to avoid scuffing the heels of the shoes, but from the sitting-down photo of Persephone (who wears them beautifully) they look really well-balanced.

    For wearers I'd ask if there's anything you find more difficult (or easier) in heel-less shoes compared with regular heels? (I'm thinking driving a car wouldn't be the best perhaps?).

    And for designers I'm curious what the limits are - I mean, could you make a heel-less strappy mule without a platform?

    I could testify that, as long as the sole has a platform, heelless shoes are rather easy to walk with.

    A cobbler modified a pair of hidden platform for me (http://members.fortunecity.com/talonet01/s0721.jpg) and I can walk on them very easily. I would even say that the only difficulty happens when I have to stand still.

  4. On the basis of my personal experiences, I second Amanda Snkake's opinion. Almost everyday, women get out of their way to ask me the question: "How can you walk on heels that high? I wish I could". If they had seen me before, most of the time, they ad compliments on the shoes and boots I wear and, sometimes on my clothes, too.

  5. My girlfriend loves these types of mules (maybe with a slightly shorter heel), but I haven't found a place that sells a decent variety at a reasonable cost.

    Where can I find them? http://0.tqn.com/d/shoes/1/0/c/1729-124669-d.jpg

    I've also seen mules like the one in the attached, but with a strap closer to the ankle so the shoe moves less. Something similar to this, but with a much thinner strap. How are these called, and where can they be found? http://www.shoebuy.com/pi/class/class334804_183022_lg.jpg

    Thanks.

    I often see quite a number of mules similar to the ones you are looking for, on eBay (US sizes 10 & 11).

  6. Hi All

    I've bought a pair of black patent heels (from New Look with white edge & bow at back @5"), which have a white streak mark down the side which needs removing. I've tried spit & polish, gentle scratching but don't want to try anything more abrasive as it may scratch the patent, also thought of nail varnish remover or white spirits but thought that would remove the patent. Any suggestions?

  7. Many years ago, on Halloween night, my ex-girlfriend and I went out dancing. During the evening, a good looking man invited me to dance. Being too shy, I decline his offer and, for the last 20 years, I regretted it because no other man invited me to dance again (lol).

  8. Since I do not bother to wear makeup, wig and false breasts, for about 99% of my daily outings, it happens very often that people ask me if I prefer to be treated as a man or a woman. And I reply to do whatever makes them feel at ease because I just do not care. But, when I do my best to look good, I prefer to be treated as a woman, which is what people I meet do all the time, except on a couple of occasions over the last 10 years, I would say. The first time, in a restaurant, with many friends, when I was the sole TV, the waiter seemed to enjoy calling me "Sir". It bothered me because I was afraid he was embarrassing my friends. So, a friend of mine (a gg) took the waiter apart and he changed his attitude right away. The second time (last December 31st), a similar situation happenned. So, on my way to the buffet, I took the opportunity to tell the waiter that my friends would probably appreciate it if he treated me like the woman I did my best to appear. Later in the evening, he treated me like a princess and my friends and I had a lot of fun.

  9. There is a chance that she will eventually come around to accepting your view that "they're only clothes and shoes." However, based on experiences posted here on this forum, what she told you is a Great big "red flag" blacksmith25. Perhaps, you should be prepared for the big "U (ultimatum)" from her -- whick usually follows after a period of time tht she mulls over in her mind wheather or not she can really accept "her man" in high heels. Perhaps she will say that "something has to go. Either the shoes go or I go. Take your pick." Then, you have to think very carefully before you make your decision. The desire to wear high heels will not ever go away. So if you respond by telling her that you will give up wearing heels and ask her to stay, it will forever be a point of division between you when you eventually return to wearing heels.....and you will.

    I sincerely hope you can resolve the situation to everyone's satisfaction.

    Very wise comment which seems to have been made on the basis of a great knowledge of women.

  10. Not necessarily my favorite but my most recent one.

    For those who commented on my outfit, you are all right. I am just a lazy girl and I should not have posted that photo. It is just my most recent one, which shows what I wore to a fetish party, last Saturday evening. And, apart from the shoes, I was even a bit overdressed, compare to the other ladies who attended.

    When I go out to eat in a restaurant, I dress more like the blue/yellow outfit.

    And, my favourite photo is probably more like the one on which I wear the long black dress.

    Anyway, thank you all for the comments.

  11. I believe should not worry too much, asdf174. Fashion being what it is, chances are the same style will come back someday. And, it might have been a good thing you got rid of those shoes because, for some people (like myself), as you grow older, your feet may require a larger size (lol). In the mean time, do not miss an opportunity to have fun.

  12. It is a long story. Let's just say that I bought 3 pairs:

    There are no problems with the fit. On the contrary, they are fun to wear and they could be even more if I did not have problems with the company.

    Problems arised mainly with service, the quality and the price.

    The first pair I ordered came with with a different model and a lower heel. They convinced me that it was my mistake.

    I ordered another pair and I received something different again.

    Because I complained, they offered to ship a new pair but, to make the heel higher, they added an additional tip.

    I refused to pay and I was mad.

    I kept a copy of the correspondance exchanged with them just if somebody would need the detailed story.

  13. A couple of days ago, while reading a paper at the local McDo (in male mode), a guy came by me, introduce himself and said: "Congratulation for your courage to wear the clothes you like to wear".

    That guy was a skier who seemed to have watched me for a couple of days. He came from South Carolina, USA.

    What seems interesting to me is that, for the last couple of years, I have been living in a small town, about 25 miles east of Quebec City. But, I have been wearing heels for many years now. Had quite a few compliments about my shoes and the way I dress but mainly from younger women. It is the first time a guy went out of his way to talk to me about the way I dress.

    Surprisingly, that day and the day before, I wore just a dull pair of jeans (made for women, but nothing out of the ordinary). And, the shoes I wore that day were not flashy (they can be seen at the following page: http://www.geocities.com/talonet01/s0387.jpg).

    The day before, I remember I wore the boots shown at the folowing page: http://www.geocities.com/talonet01/s0304.jpg.

  14. Dear Scotty: I wear the first ones (on top) mainly to go shopping. I bet that the longest period of time I have worn then was 3 or 4 consecutive hours. I agree that they are a bit tricky for the few first minutes of walking but you will get used to them. Question: Are you sure you have the right size? In my case, I had to buy a size smaller than I usually do wear. Michou
