Wore heels for a solid week while there in January. I think the tourists noticed more than the locals but was never a problem. Just go have fun! CJ

I was in Vegas from Dec 31 to Jan 6. I wore men's style heels (4") everywhere. I have several pairs and bout some there, trying them on in the mall. No one even blinked. One guy at the Golden Nugget asked me if I was wearing heels. I said yes. He asked if they were men's heels and I said they make them but they cost a lot more. We had to go but it was a positive experience. I think he wanted to find some for himself. Have fun in Vegas CJ

I have those Sketcher boots. They almost look like mens boots. CJ

Welcome to public heeling. Glad your first day was so good. I think most people that notice are not bold enough to mention it, even positively. Keep posting your experiences. I wear heels every weekend. Haven't tried work yet, but maybe soon. CJ

Was just watching Close Encounters (1977) on HDNET in High Definition and I spotted a guy in heels. He was climbing to the top of a railroad boxcar in the scene where they are evacuating Devil's Tower and he had on boots with 2" block heels. Funny what you notice when you aren't expecting it. CJ

Same rules for the USA.

I will be in NYC the last week of March with my wife. I don't know any other male heel wearers in my area so I would love to meet up with some in NYC. Anyone want to have a heel meet in the city? It can be informal or formal is someone want to plan something. Heel meet or not, I will be heeling all week! CJ

I am happy to see you having such a great experience. I wear heels (4 or 5") most evenings and weekends (not at work) under my long slacks or jeans. I really don't understand why I was so apprehensive about it when I first started back in October. No one cares or reacts badly. Few notice and those that do get over it really fast or don't care. I have never worn a skirt out in public, except halloween in full drag. I am too apprehensive to do that but it would probably be the same. My wife wants me to wear my kilt out but I haven't yet. To all those that wear heels privately but want to go out, just do it. It gets easier really fast when you realize the world doesn't turn on you and most people don't notice. I know how hard it is, I was there only 4 months ago. I can't think of a way to assure you how non-eventful it is (other than your happiness). Be yourself and have fun. Life is too short to let others intimidate you to conform to their normality. CJ

I go out every weekend in 4.5" stilettos. I do wear shoes fashioned on men's shoe designs but with the heel. I have found they don't get anymore attention than my block heels. CJ

Looking sharp! CJ

As I have been spending every weekend in heels, out and about, I am really amazed and happy that most people don't notice and no one says anything. At TGI Fridays today, the server noticed as I was on a high stool but she didn't say or do anything. I was hoping she would bring it up. No such luck. My wife said "she keeps looking at your feet."

Just got home from LV....wish I had known. CJ

:-) :-)

Now THAT is AWESOME!

I have the black boots....love the red ones! CJ

I have a pair of those black boots. Never tried to drive in them although I drive in many of my heels. CJ

Those look great! I would wear those anywhere. CJ

Johnieheel, love the look in the second pic. You don't look like you are in your 50s either. I haven't put any full pics of me online yet but maybe the wife will take a few for me. CJ

How do you get that blank look on your face? Nice shoes! CJ

My understanding of it is that the Japanese have calcium deficiencies due to their diets during pregnancy and growing up. They eat a lot of fish, rice and veggies, but almost no meat or milk. This leads to the bowed legs you often see on Japanese women (men wear pants most of the time so you wouldn't see it on them). When I am there I notice a lot of women with their toes turned out instead of straight. CJ

Is there a link to the picture that you forgot?

See the video or the Bunton image higher up in the thread.

OK...Went to Vegas last week and visited the YSL store. I got to actually touch these shoes in a 41. Unfortunately, I need a 42 in these and none of the stores carry it in 42 but the website does list them. There is a black version with gold trim that looks really classy but I can't find it on the website. I was ready to drop $650 + tax on them right then and there but they didn't have my size. The sales lady was really nice and I was her first male customer. My wife choose not to try them on as she would have demanded I buy them for her. I think they even look better in person. BTW - the knockoffs I saw were not as high and didn't look as good. CJ

Your Vegas trip sounds fun. Did you Win Big?

I wish. Only won about $30 this trip. Did buy 3 pair of heels, some Steve Madden ankle boots that look like men's wingtips with a 4" heel, some cool 6" (with 1" platform) sandals and some soft leather Nine West ankle boots with a 4" heel. The Steve Maddens are tight across the top of the big toes so I didn't wear them out in Vegas but have the stretchers in them right now to make some room.

We went to the Yves Saint Laurent store at the Billagio and tried on their wonderful 6" heels but they only went to a size 41. They have 42 on the website but not in the store so I didn't buy them ($650). I was ready to drop the money cause they are my current favorite shoe on earth. Guess I will have to order online.

Back to the grind! Vacation is too short. At least I got to wear heels for a solid week. The verdict...no one cares and those that do, have nothing bad to say. It was a blast!

Just returned home from a week in Vegas, mostly in 4 or 5" heels. I was wearing some Enzo leather 4.5" ankle boots under my long slacks and walking through the Golden Nugget casino down on Freemont Street. A guy seated at a slot machine, but facing the other way (toward the walkway) saw me. As I walked by to my wife nearby, he said "are you wearing heels?" I said "yep!" and he said something about they look nice. First time I have had a guy say anything. It was cool. CJ

Hi Kris, Please let me know when you are going to be here. We can meet for lunch or something. Belz is partially complete but still lots of traffic and construction. Shoe Land has multiple locations so google map it before you come for the closest. I haven't found much at the Premium Outlet Mall. Macy's at Millenia has some great sales with tons of shoes....and there is a secret. Don't worry about the size on the sale rack...just ask because they have most sizes in the back to match the styles on the rack. They always go to size 10 US but sometimes go to 11. DSW across from Millenia has some good sale racks too and go to 12 sometimes. I am off to Vegas for a week so I will check back when I return! CJ

Last night, we met up with a group of friends at a local sports bar. The big game (undefeated NFL team - not a football fan) was on and the place was totally packed. Sat on a hi-top stool in my 4.5" boots and if anyone noticed, they didn't show it. If anyplace I go in heels was where I thought there would be problems, this was it. Friends didn't notice or didn't say anything and all the drunk husky football fans were clueless. I expect that group to be the types to point and make a big deal out of it but nothing happened. Confidence level +1 CJ
