The latest pair of thrift store boots are nine west.  The quality of leather is great, and they are easy to walk in as well...

Pictures?

Great looking boots and nice outfit @KneeBooted. I never own Nine West shoes, but they looks like good quality product. The shape of the heel and toes is really nice. Will you wear this outfit out?

I had bought my wife some boots from Nine West a couple of years ago, and loved the quality. Normally I wouldn't spend a lot of money on boots from eBay, but they were NIB, and I knew the quality would be good. I wore them out last night under jeans and they were surprisingly comfortable.

My new Nine West Sabora boots.

So talking with a female coworker who is out of state yesterday, I made the joke that they should make heels with safety toes and EH safe. Granted, it'd be hard to do my job in heels, but I put my black boots on with my current work pants, fleece lined women's pants from Eddie Bauer, and thought it looked good...

So I love my wife, and there are a million reasons! Now, there's one more!

I had shown her these boots a few days ago, and she had been on the fence about letting me get them. Not because of how feminine they are, because she is still getting used to that, but she is frugal and didn't know about me spending that much money.

However, I was sad to see they sold out of my size, 10, until I found them on eBay brand new in box for $74.99!

This morning, she told me she loved me, and finally gave in, letting me order them! I have to wait a looooong while before I bug her for more boots, but this will make the experience of getting these and showing them off that much more significant!

Here is the link to them on the Nine West website:

I purchased them in black.

So I have noticed this here a few times recently, most noticeably this morning.

I have come across situations where someone has noticed my riding boots or heels, and made an effort to confirm what they are seeing, sneakily of course. I catch them, but I don't usually strike up a conversation. I secretly wish they would ask me about them, whether privately or publicly.

The reason I thought about this is this morning I was sitting in church, and a girl in her mid-late 20's that I know fairly well was sitting directly behind me.

At one point I get up and when walking back to my seat, I noticed her clearly trying to look at my shoes and figure out what I was wearing. I am not sure she was too embarrassed or confused, but I wish she had asked me either in person or said something to me on Facebook(we are friends on there) regarding them.

Does anyone else ever have that?

Love the concept, but definitely needs significant further development. 

I agree. I really do love the idea, but I think as far as the 'fashion' of it goes, there needs to be a bit more work done so that when the heel is higher, it still looks normal.

I originally heard about this on NPR back in January, and forgot to post about it. I didn't see any other related posts, but would love to have others weigh in on this...

I may be interested in some of the US 10, can you provide which ones in the pictures are?

US or U.K. 9&10?

Got a pair of Funtasma cowboy boots in the post today. Came all the way from Shepardsville in Kentucky USA. Wow!

That's roughly 30 minutes south of me...

The other day my wife was checking out one of the sites that I order some of my shoes from. She then asks how come I did not order any for her. So I said to her that I was not sure what she would like but if she wanted to save some on my wishlist to go ahead. Yesterday she asks me if I ordered any of her shoes. When I checked out her list it contained well over 15 pairs! After some time she narrowed it down to one pair for now and a summer dress that she can wear on vacation. With this I saw the "green light" to order myself another pair. Hers are the teal colored ones and mine are the mary janes. Its great fun shoe shopping with my wife and a little extra cost is well worth it!

What site?

I'd pick the Kiss style...

As I continue on my journey into heeling, and "crossdressing", I find that more and more, I wish the fashion industry, mainly the big companies that put on these lavish shows, would make more of an effort to show traditional women's clothing on men. Some of the clips I watch, both linked on here and in general on the web, have a tendency to take this extreme approach to having men in 'female' attire.

What I would personally love to see is a fashion show/blog/media gallery that showcases those of us who manage to take clothing, shoes, and accessories that are deemed for the opposite gender and blend it into our everyday lives.

If it already exists, I may try to contribute to it.

@Mandy I like the video, and subscribed to your channel.

Well my newest pair of boots came in the post today.

I had found another pair of thicker, block heel boots that my wife really liked for me. They are Crown Vintage brand, style is called Pilot.

I managed to snag them off of DSW website. They were on sale for $49.94, then DSW had an additional 25% off that. In conjunction with a code I had, it made my total just over $30. I'd say not too bad of a deal!

Trying them on, I must say I like the fact they are a snug fit on my calf.

So as things continue to progress, I started thinking about getting some gloves. Now I've always wanted a pair, shoulder length leather, but seeing as how those aren't the easiest to get on and off in winter time when wearing sweaters, I decided I should look at more practical options.

The problem I have is that I'm not familiar with any decent leather glove manufacturers.

So does anyone have any recommendations? I definitely want leather, and as for lining, I don't necessarily have a preference. I'm looking for some that are no more than elbow length, if that.

Thanks in advance for the help!

It sounds like she already may have a thing for heels, so I suspect it may go better than you think.

I just told my then g/f, now wife, that it was something I enjoyed and that I didn't think it was a phase. She was very understanding, and has even gotten into wearing more heels and boots herself. She even helps me pick out pairs for me to buy.

I would tell her first, and then she will either ask to see, or you can ask to show her.

I will need to acquire some sweaters or tops that better accent that. Truth be told though, I need to drop a few pounds, otherwise a shorter top would not only accent the top line of the skirt, it would accent my gut...

Here are some pictures...

Well the skirt came in while my wife and I were on vacation. I briefly tried it on this morning, and I have determined that even though the size chart on the website says large covers sizes 10 & 12, it definitely is closer to a 10. While I fit in it and got it zipped up, I could definitely stand to lose a couple more pounds, which is my plan anyway. I will make sure and take pictures tonight because I think it does look good, but I need some different tops to really pull it off.

@mlroseplant and @Thighbootguy

I don't know if I can show it very well in a picture, but growing up, my mom always joked that I had her hips, because my legs didn't go straight down from my waist. I believe my body may have been built for a skirt, which is why I wore them so much when I was younger. This will be the first one in probably 5 years, and definitely the first one my wife will see me in.

I was a little disappointed how they did the sizes. I usually wear a 12, so right on the cusp between L and XL, but I ordered a L

@Thighbootguy I hadn't thought of the taper, but I have chicken legs so hopefully it fits ok! I am on vacation so it will hopefully be waiting for me when I get back.

Ordered my first skirt today! I saw a friend wearing it and she pulled it off so well that I had to ask her where she had gotten it from!

I ordered a Bar III faux leather pencil skirt in black from Macy's.

Will definitely post pictures when it arrives!

I got them from Amazon.  They are size 9.5 and very comfortable.  The picture was taken at the Bar of the Hilton Garden Inn in Maine.  The Bartender loved them.

What's the brand, etc?
