    She assumed I was Gay..

    This is a some what common response.  You may not be questioned or hear it, but this is one way many people (women) process seeing a guy in heel. Especially if you have skinny jean and knee high stiletto heels on. Since I have been wearing 4+  inch heels almost always I hear it enough times. And I have had people tell me they thought I was gay when they first encounter me but now they know that I'm not gay.

     I was once "whistled" at by a football player leaving practice, I responded by say "Sorry I'm not gay, but maybe your friend (another player) can help find someone."

    His friend punched him in the arm and said something like "he got you bro" and laughed at him.

  2. My favorite now is Skinny Jeans (or vegan leather) and Knee High Boots. Already wore this combination to work 15 times this year (see Cali World for the new comment I go this week). When it gets hot, that uniform will change to Short Shorts and Sandals or Booties. Got to show off the pedicure.  And then for the fun of it, every once in a while I will wear Short Shorts and  Knee High Boots to work. You got to have fun when you wear heel almost always to work.

  3. The past week I have been in meetings over the corona virus closure and the move to an on-line presence. (I've been dealing with the effects of this virus in my area since late January.)

    The last two days I've attended meetings in my skinny jeans and Jessica Simpson knee high platform boots.  Yesterday during lunch a woman asked me "how high of a heel can I wear?" I gave an answer like I have 7 inch plus heels that I wear, but I like a difference of 3.75 to 4.75.

    Today I was asked by woman who is in personnel that hear the first woman ask the question if I felt harassed by it.

     

     

  4. I can do it in a small local boutique and a Steve Madden in a large mall. Remember I go shoe shopping every month or 2 so they recognize me. And it helps that I have high heels on. They really take notice when you have skinny jeans and knee high stilettos on.  :giggle:

    Right now I need to replace maybe 5 wedges that have delaminated. They are 4 and 5 years old and have seen a lot of use.  Can find high enough wedges, max so far are 3.25 inch and I want 4+.

    I haven't seen a store like that in years !!

    Too bad.

  5. I went to get my beans from the coffee roasters this morning. Spooky downtown with it empty because of the corona 19 virus.  Freeways are empty too. My favorite shoe boutique is next door to the coffee roasters, so I usually go in and see what they have.  They weren't open yet, however, the owner open the store for me.They didn't have anything new I wanted to try on, so we just chatted for a while. Downtown is ghost town with almost no customers, so she wanted to talk. They are thinking of what they will order for the summer and fall. I put my "4" cents in (things are more expensive in California) for wedge sandals, lace up sandals, and stiletto knee highs with full zippers like Jessica Simpson's. The owner also loves her Jessica Simpson and we talked about how the heel placement on Jessica Simpson stilettos makes them easy to walk in. 

    I would encourage all to obtain a relationship with at least one footwear store. You get treated better than the regular customers, they know you BUY heels and sometimes your size and styles.  I have also been given "discounts" simply for asking! They will tell you what's coming in and save things for you.  I have a relationship with 3 stores now and it's great. I can walk into a crowded store, pick up a heel I want to try on and just show it to the sale associate on the other side of the room and she will go get it (in my size) without a word spoken while other customers are waiting to get served.

  6. I try to limit the items I can't wear to work or in public to just a few , 2 or 3.  I've had a sleeveless turtleneck bodysuit I had purchase several years ago that I had never worn, it's egg shell blue.  I finally figured a way to wear it, with some Express leggings, a Polo top, and Madden Girl motorcycle boots. I've been showing the tops of my boots and loving it. I know you can't see the top in the photo below, but that's the real point here.
