Stilettoscot

Thanks HH! It was kind of a "hunch" deal when I was in the store a month back picking up my Tequilas. After talking with Brittany, she made it sound so cool! It will be (in September, I was told) 1-2 nights per week, out by 8PM (meaning, straight to go clubbing!). Makes up for 4 x 12 hour landscaping days the rest of the week! First day there, I'll be sure to take pics..LOL

SScot, I hop you are not talking about those nice D'Orsay shoes in this pic http://www.hhplace.org/discuss/attachments/real_life_meetings/3064d1217164260-nyc_heel_meet_-_26_july_2008-heel_001.jpg they are a nice looking shoe. Never been one to appreciate fussy decorations.

Simon.

Unfortunately, yes. I like these shoes so much I wear them the most, hence wearing them out quick. Some don't like the super long pointed toe, but on this shoe, I love it. They are comfortable, too.

Oh well, more shopping soon!

I like the way you 2 think.

I have 2 pairs (US 9 1/2 and 10). For the price, they aren't that comfortable.... Just bought, second hand, a pair of Steve Madden's 3 1/4" thong slippers. Reason? I'm getting a nice pedicure this Friday, and I am wearing them in and out of the Salon...

FWIW, Kneehighs, I think your outfit, from my standpoint, looks very well thought out and "hip". If I saw you out and about, I would think "here is a guy who puts a lot of thought into his look, and is comfortable with the outcome before he leaves his house.". I would, also, probably have my foot next to yours in a pic for "comparison"..LOL As far as "advice" thrown in at random...there is a time and place for it. I don't believe this thread was such a place as I believe it to simply be a "sharing" thread. And one I look forward to seeing new posts made. OTOH, I didn't think anything rude, from the output in FF's initial post, except that it may be the wrong place for it. I do take umbrage to the "knuckle-draggers" post, but I suppose that it was made in the heat of the moment. Maybe the fact that someone like myself may "need" advice from other, more experienced members of this board. I have had "advice" thrown at me in both positive, and negative ways. However, I don't look at someone like Kneehighs to be in a place where "advice" is needed to be thrown at him in places like this thread. He has given me lots of great advice (including Blues Brothers thoughts..LOL) via PM, and I have them saved. Once you throw advice at someone who puts such great thought into his outfit, such as KH does, then WHERE the advice and how it is given should be more tactful than on a thread where he shares his adventures. Just my 2c. Please keep posting here, Kneehighs, and I'll continue to read with envy!

Thank you Arctic!

I definately have fair skin, so will try, tomorrow, more of a tone like Daniel suggests...

Enjoys chatting with

Richie,

You didn't answer this question:

Isn't the feeling of excitement what it's about?

I just could never get the same buzz wearing, say, a 3" cuban heeled boot out and about as the shoes I own and love. To me, I might as well be wearing my regular "men's" shoes...

Just remember what I think I told you when I first joined:

"Not all of us can be fashion guru's, and not all of us wear heels for the same reasons."

BUT, I think your last sentence sums it up well...

I'm down.

11-12 depending on make.

One of the weekend guys is leaving in September. I was told that would be the time shift I'll be in. Hopefully! Sounds cool. Retail was never really my thing, but here...it seems right! LOL

3+" is generally accepted as "high". But, I would say anything highers than 5" should be labelled "ultra high" as so very few women can actually walk in them.

Fun.

Thighboots, I appreciate your comments, and wisdom. And am not saying you are wrong in any way...but... Isn't "labelling" when a man should and shouldn't wear a certain heel style (due to being "out of place") being nearly as close-minded as people who say men should never wear heels of any kind in the first place? I know I am relatively new here, and to attempting to be "stylish" in general. But I thought the whole point of this place was to accept men in heels in general, not really to embark limitations on when men "should" or "shouldn't" wear what, quite frankly, they enjoy so as others not to be "emarrased" to be near? To be honest, most of the places I feel most comfortable wearing my heels (all stiletto right now) are in club-type atmoshperes, and probably for the reasons you describe. I would like to buy other style heels to augment my collection, not to have them be limited to worn only to certain places. I just don't get excited looking at shoes with more "conventional and discreet" heels (ie, 2-3" block type heel) that men are "supposed" to wear in public. Isn't the feeling of excitement what it's about? Take guys like Roni and Kneehighs. I know I am not in their body type, which is conventional "wisdom", but the fact they can make stilettos "work" in public does give me ambition to do the same. Speaking of body type, I saw a large girl the other day (wish I had the camera ready..LOL) downtown wearing 4" stiletto pumps. Even though "conventional wisdom" says she should not be wearing those shoes....she looked amazing!! I don't know, maybe I just haven't been around here long enough. I just could never get the same buzz wearing, say, a 3" cuban heeled boot out and about as the shoes I own and love. To me, I might as well be wearing my regular "men's" shoes...

How gorgeous is that!!
