Bootking

Bootking :-)

Is-it really your legs we see on the picture and avatar ?

Indeed daniel, it is me in the flesh at the ripe old age of 55!!

Actually, each avatar that I have had since I have been on this site is me.

Two things of interest at the meeting; I didn’t wear my boots, and I can’t afford to retire.

Getting there, getting there! I'm looking to retire but hopefully, it might be sooner than later!

On the way I passed a mother and young son and the kid says,”He’s wearing girls boots!”. To which his Mom replied, “He can wear anything he wants.”

OMG, I've got red, wine, black, brown, white, bone, navy blue - that's the boots. Then the shoes there's red, black, white, silver, gold, bronze, brown.....

Too many colors, too little time.....

Okay johnnieheel and HappyFeat, who is up next????

And just to go a little off base, even the Bootking himself does not wear boots ALL OF THE TIME!

And of course, I'm waiting for Jeff to see this thread!!!!

These Colin Stuart gold snakeskin leather booties (11) are something of the latest rage now, paired off with a velvet dress!

Any guys up for a leg contest??

The first pair that I bought was in a self-service type of women's shoe store that was in a stand alone store. Unfortunately, the chain is no longer in business and I don't remember the name but they had nice stock.

I wanted to buy a knee high size 10 (US) white stretch boot, very nice style in the '70s. Unfortunately, they didn't have my size (actually not even close because I take a large 11 - but of course we didn't know that then). So instead, I bought a beige stretch boot, size 10. I can't tell you how very, very nervous I was but at least, 30 years later, I can tell the tale with a big smile! And I paid cash at the register. Come to think of it, the cashier was quite bored as I was the only customer!

As US 10 is too too small, they looked good but after about 10 minutes or so, they had to come as they were too too tight.

They have a category for High Heel Lovers

This is a much better answer!!

34th Street also! There's Bakers near 5th Avenue and of course how could one forget Macy's! For the thrifty, there's Rainbow Shop a little north on 5th Avenue.

And as Vector mentioned, 8th Street and environs is the empire of fetish boots!!!

GO FOR IT JEFF!!!!!!!!!!!!

You only live once! I have something similar in a gold knee high crocodile from Colin Stuart but it needs zipper repair.

Good morning Thighbootguy,

It is really amazing what attracts people's attention and what does not. Most of us would think the opposite, i.e. that the boots would be the provocateur and not the long skirt with low heel pumps!

I know that I could walk around with "women's" jeans all day long, day after day and never hear a remark but pair them with heels, or even more absurd, pair them with usual men's pants and you can actually "feel" the stares!

I guess that's what makes the world go 'round!

Look guys, I honestly believe that we guys should be able to wear low-rise short shorts

Regards, Nick!!!

Indeed! I have a pair from Target that I plan on wearing next week in Florida rollerblading.

Well done, Jeff, well done!

Me personally i would have gotten some more taylored pants.......probably womens style since most of their dress and casual pants have a bit of a flare at the bottom. Most mens pants make them look loose and big at the top and too skinny at the bottom. And i would have wanted the pants to be a little longer too........but here again thats just the way i would have done it. You still coordinated the look very well though. Good job.

HotBootGuy, there is definitely a point to what you say; however, some of the parameters don't fit my situation. I am married and my wife tolerates the heel stuff in limited doses at home. Although she surmises (hoping that I don't) that I wear heels out in the car occasionally, she would have no tolerance of heel wearing in the street (especially anywhere near home). And I have a whole closet of "women's apparel" that she knowlingly ignores. So, in that respect, I have to balance.

Now I do have a goodly number of pairs of "women's" pants, etc. in various styles, colors, etc. and I must agree that the tailoring, fabric and general fit on them is much nicer than men's pants. But the heeling time is very limited; sometimes I am able to change and sometimes not. On that day, I had my standard men's (office type) pants on with the stiletto boots. So there you have it!

once you have tried Nine West it will only lead to more exotic styles and a closet full of gorgeous shoes.

Agreed on both counts! I now have four pairs of Nine West stiletto boots (two tall, two short) and two pairs of stiletto sandals. What is nice is that some of their styles go up to US Women's size 12. They are also good quality.
