I'm liking flats and sandals a lot more lately, maybe it's just the none heel bit that makes them a little more accessible

I can spot a pair of heels by just take a quick peek down. Doesn't even matter if the shoes is hid by long flared trousers. No one is safe around me  To be honest. I have many loose bolts and nuts in my crippled brain

I've been listening for years and then looking, probably why I'm so paranoid others will notice. After a while you know what to expect just from the sound, especially those kitten heels which aren't worth the time to take a glance.

I've always had weak ankles but that i would roll wearing sneakers if I stood on anything thicker than a coin. But the regular heel wearing has strengthened them and I'm a lot more stable, I would recommend this for anyone with weak ankles.

I've only got a small collection, this is only 6 months worth, can't help myself.

I bought some flats for the first time this week, I've worn them outside for a few short errands but I'm a lot more comfortable less scared wearing them than heels.

It has resulted in me buying a few pairs, now have 3 pairs. 

I got some a while back, they're really good at boosting your confidence under some jeans, no one can see they look just like sneakers, I just wish they look more like high tops than having that heel tip stick out.

By calling them women's high heels shoes you're implicitly saying there exists men's high heels shoes, which I've been looking for and can't seem to find.

i wend to a dsw last week and was appalled at how one row of men's shoes there were and the other 14 rows were "women's" shoes.

Got these this week, they're amazing I wish id bought them sooner.

FYI The quotes are all from the last 2 minutes of the video interview.

What size US are you?

Oh I've bought too many recently, I think I've ordered 9 pairs in the last month, since fining my perfect size it has been so easy.

Subtle, 

If you are concerned about being noticed, you might want to invest in some boot cut jeans that are longer than you normal inseam length.  If they are two long, you can always fold them up (or in).

I can almost achieve this with my jeans.

I managed to get out of the car in some 3" thick heel boots tonight and walk to my apartment 150ft, God they were so loud, but I stayed committed and my heart raced like crazy.

That being said, I wondered more than a few times if I was gay or what was the story with me so I bought a couple of books regarding crossdressing.  

I've felt this also, it wasn't until I found hhp that I realised that there's nothing wrong with me, now I'm less likely to care if someone noticed some heels in my house, the main thing that has always stopped me from being who I am is being labeled as something I'm not, which has had implicated me from doing so anyway.

When you think about it, it's Little bit of extra material on the back of your shoe; society sucks sometimes.

How comfortable are heels and boots most women complain about how there feet hurt from wearing them 

They are normally wearing high ones or ill fitting ones, I suggest getting higher ones for practice then when you go back down to a 2.5" or so they almost feel like flats.

Thanks all I plan to work my sell up to going out with these, I really like the look of these with jeans.

First 3 times didn't count, although I have to walk through a car park to get between home and my car. They were, (Drivthru, gas in the car, pickup from shipping locker).

So last night I went into the grocery store, a big Safeway, In the beginning I was thinking I'll find exactly what I'll need and get out, but I calmed down and managed to just wander around picking up the rest of my groceries. I kept looking to make sure no one noticed, and they don't. I'm pretty sure no one really notices, it's just that I assume most people to be like me and pay attention to those things. I wore my dark brown Nine West towsley wedge booties with jeans.

I looked at your Towsley shoes at the Nine West site.  They look really nice.  Do they have a hidden wedge heel?  If so how high?  Hard to tell by looking at them. 

1.5 but the platform is a lot low so you can feel the small amount of lift you get.

Anyway babysteps, these are just to get used to, not sure anyone will notice but they still make me a little nervous.

I would've expected to see more of it here in the bay.

I went out for the first time yesterday, it's such a weird feeling but once you're out there's no running away really odd feeling. I got a pair of towsley by nine west they aren't high nor stand out but they would require someone to really be looking to notice. 

I've got one little story about my first ever shopping experience.

i was really nervous but I managed to make my way down to a Payless just down from my hotel. I wandered in and walked an aisle or 2 before I found the right sized section, lucky for me this was right beside the men's shoes of similar size which made me less nervous, I pretended to look at them when others were around. After a while I found some black round toe wedge slings that would fit and finally gave in and picked up the box and headed for the counter. The assistant wasn't there but she approached and some other assistant had left previous items on the counter. She opens one with intent to organise it off to the side, but jokingly she lifts out some small pump and says "guess these aren't yours" with a smile on her face. I smiled and said stuttered "no", meanwhile thinking they're much too small and handed her my box of wedges. I don't think she even hesitated when she opened the box and rang them up. There was a feeling of thrill, heart pounding, to which I can't explain.

i got home and all I could think of was her comment then handing over a the shoes I was buying, and had a little chuckle.

Thanks for the warm welcome.

I just found hhplace over the weekend. I've felt alone like I've been hiding something for a long time, almost scared to say high heels in public like it was taboo or something.

But it is nice to know there are others out there. Here are some new ones I got.

No longer feeling as alone.
