    Jeremy's heel stories, pictures & thoughts

    in For the guys

    Posted

    I just posted some snaps of my newest pair of heels in my album. I don't get many comments on my posts here, so tend to not write. Those who responded ( @Cali and @RonC ) - here you go, an thanks for your interest! 

    Pls read my account above from August 31, where i write about this shoe outlet we happened upon. 

    I had taken a pair of loafer back, that didn't fit me so well (my wife had gone there on her own a week or 2 before) but they didn't have a better size. So had to look for other options. The shop was about to close soon, and was virtually empty, so it was just us. I had almost given up on finding something else, so told my wife I am going over to look at the heels. I poked around and found a nice selection of heeled sandals in size UK8 (EU 41), which I can squeeze into if needed, and depending on the style - that's the biggest size they had. The one female sales rep was walking around, I was hoping she didn't want to tell me they are closing, but just asked if I need help. I was wondering what she was thinking... certainly didn't seem like she was asking in any offish way. I just said that I'm OK and she walked off.  Though i was kind of wanting to ask her to help me find some more 41's, and see where that would go....  I asked my wife to come over and "try on some heels for me", and she came happily enough. I asked her to try on 2 styles, they were both a bit of a squeeze for her, but she had preference for one of them, but debated if she would actually wear it. It was a nice simple barely there style with an ankle strap - heel of about 3". it was quite a casual style, thick strap and even with velcro on it instead of a buckle, so that's quite cool. The other, much nice in my opinion, more of a caged style, flowery look with a taller heel. Maybe 4". 
    She was debating, said they are quite high and doesn't think she would wear them, maybe the lower pair.  I looking and found a brown pair, more of a caged look too, and I asked her to try it on. She battled a little but got it on and even said it's a good fit.  I didn't have much time to poke around more and look, so decided on those, seen as most of my heels are black.  So for a change, you know, i decide those were the ones. 
    I just said to her "I think I'm going to take these". And it was clear that I want them for me, not that I was encouraging her to try on and choose for herself.  She  happily said ok, and we looked for a pair that looked in better shape and found one. I took my box and we went off to pay, along with the other pair of new loafers she found for me and an ugly pair of flat desigual slides for her ;-) 
     
    I was on the moon.  She too was there in a great mood and we left to have dinner out together.  On the way we discussed the whole issue. She says she still has a hard time with it. But she tries to put it aside and not think about it. She sees it makes me happy and she is happy for me, but she has a hard time accepting it. I said I have the same with some of her issues. But none of this is harming, and I too don't understand it.... But we sometime have to accept things we don't like in our partners. And I have my fair share of things in her that are very challenging...
    We chatted some more about it and I brought up some other related points.  In general, it was a very good talk. Wish we could do it more, but for now it still makes her uncomfortable. I told her shoe shopping is win-win when we do it together 🙂 
    Later, as dinner, she said she is starting to regret not getting that pair of barely there heels.... not sure what prompted that, but it was an opening to some more heel talk! Wish i could have gone to get that pair for her... am sure it would have gotten me some browny points!
     
    Here again, is that pair that I bought.

    An Unexpected Benefit From Wearing Heels in Public

    I am not convinced that getting positive female comments and conversations regarding your heeling would lead to more romantic interests. Overall I am still firmly convinced that while women say they applaud men getting their heeling on, that does not mean that they want their man to wear heels. Overall women have not changed in what they want in a mate by neither feminism or social justice. They still want the man to be taller, stronger (mentally and physically), have more social status and make more money then they do. It's not for nothing that they complain where all the good men have gone, even though there are plenty of single good men (by our standards) to be had. They just don't meet those criteria. Begrudging acceptance if you meet those criteria first seems to be the best most people here can hope for, judging by what I read.

    I fully agree with most of this.

    The one improvement to the forum I would really really REALLY want is that when you click on a thread you immediately go to the place where you've last been. Instead of the beginning of a thread.

    Pretty sure i see that functionality now.

    Just wish we could have a chat feature/site here.....But, realize this is probably very expensive...

    there is the built-in mailer. Not chat per-se.

    I agree, I generally avoid sandals with a single narrow strap over the toes. Wide straps, or multiple straps are much more comfortable, or wearing hosiery with the sandals helps. That little toe can be a problem. I did buy a pair of sandals this summer with multiple straps, Jessica Simpson Zetta. I have to "watch" the toes straps, but they were only $15 so I couldn't pass them up!

    Wow.  Talk about strappy!!

    Have high heels been in your dreams (literally)?

    Not much to tell, really. This sort of thing happens to us all eventually. I was out running some errands, and I didn't realize that it was Bike Night, which is a small motorcycle rally that happens in our town once a month. It's actually a pretty big deal, drawing thousands of people for a few hours each month. At any rate, a lot of the guys from the electrical union like to go to this thing, and it just so happened that I ran into a bunch of them when they came to my town for Bike Night. I was wearing my usual shorts and heels. If memory serves, they were wedges, so the impact may have been a little less than stilettos would be. Nobody said anything, everybody acted perfectly normal. Like I said, that will happen to every one of us eventually.

    Yeah, seems like it was a non issue, no doubt due to your attitude

    I liked the outfit that I wore to the dentist a couple of weeks ago, that I recycled it to wear to Costco and the cell phone place yesterday. It has finally warmed back up to seasonal temperatures after five straight days of cold, windy, rainy weather, so I took the opportunity to wear shorts again, even though my errand running session started at a mere 58º. I wore different shoes this time, sandals with actual back straps! The horror! I do not have a picture from yesterday. Actually, I do, but my wife took it, so my feet are purposefully not in it. There is no sense in posting it here. I do have a partial picture of the sandals, however. I like how the medallions bounce against your ankles when you walk. It's kind of a fun feeling.

    Nicely done! Yes, i know what you mean, about the bling's texture on you, and the sound as well. Very pleasing.
