Well there are people who take a fashionable interest in their footwear and yet do not wear high heels simply because their tastes run along different lines

I think this was covered in Group 1.  LOL

While being treated well by the female SA she automatically asked, WHAT SIZE DOES SHE NORMALLY WEAR? 

This is normal for this time of year when most men shopping in a woman's section are shopping for their wives or girlfriend(s). I just usually say "I'm a size 8 or medium."  No need to say more.

I saw a beautiful pair of knee high dark purple suede high heel boots today. Now I have to find who makes them and where to buy them. I think I just found my me-to-me Christmas present. Couldn't ask the woman where she got it because she had tubes in her mouth.

I had an interesting chat with my dentist's assistant today. First as I walked to my chair we past a woman laying back but her purple suede boots were in full display and I said, "oh those are nice boots." Beautiful boots bought in Carmel, which means very pricey, but still worth the easy drive down to check them out.

She responded by saying "I knew you were going to say something about those boots, but you have some nice ones on too. How high are they." I showed her they were about knee high. Then she told me she wore heels to a Christmas party last night,  first time in years, "boots like you wore last time".,

"Booties?"

"But they hurt after a hour."

I asked her why she bought shoe that hurt, my new response to women that tell me they can't wear heels because they hurt.

They were given to her by a friend because she does have any heels.

Before she put some numbing stuff in my mouth, she took the light and examine my nail polish.

You are a prime example of what my wife would consider a pervert or deviant, Cali - so I hope you never meet!   (My apologies - I don't share that opinion.)

As to tattoos (and piercings), she considers anything other than normally pierced ears (on a woman) and perhaps a modest 'traditional' forearm tattoo (on a sailor, for example) as ugly and disfiguring - and I have to agree with her on that.   We see so many men and women whose appearance is marred by such 'adornments' as well as by shapeless, ugly and unflattering clothes - and that without considering how they speak and behave.   Yes, we are being judgmental and critical, but we both have views on the 'look' that we like, or otherwise, on people in general or each other (as do most folk if they are honest).   The problem is that her views often do not coincide with mine, particularly about what I (or men in general) should wear.

Thanks to the others who have commented.   I try to keep my head down and my 'activity' is very limited and discreet - but I walk on eggshells (difficult in heels!).

The trouble is that the real perverts wear their suits and fancy ties as they have sex with playboy bunnies and porn stars while their wives sit at home. Clothes don't make the person! Too many people hide behind their uniform (clothes - suit and tie) and live un-authentic lives, they just muddle through life.

I'm not "average" in any sense of the word and I don't live my life by others standards.  I'm sorry that you must walk on eggshells.  This does take its toll on your life, health, and happiness.

Wait for after christmas sales on christmas lights. They are greatly reduced then but sell out fast.  With the old strings, cut out a working section and use a battery (like a D-cell) to power them and string a set around your body for the holidays.

I have a santa hat with a string of 12 around the rim.  Have fun.

Well, my wife would certainly not agree with you on that!   She is by no means an uncaring or intolerant person but anyone whose conduct deviates from what she considers to be normal and acceptable is in line for a big rocket and potential excommunication.  And that certainly includes the idea of a man wearing 'high heels', whether femme or not, or other allegedly effeminate garments.   If it were within her power, she would doubtless have Eddie Izzard (for example) burnt at the stake.

I'm sorry that you have to live by such standards. She would probably want to burn me at the stake too.  High heels most of the time, nail polish (fingers and toes), and over half of what I wear was bought from the woman's side. I don't believe clothes have genders, that's an artificial projection we as a society put on them.

Question: what does she think about woman with tattoos?

Now this is where stilettos might help.

You have to learn not to settle for anything short of "look" and "fit".

I slide several times over the years. Polished floors + wet conditions lead to the slide. Wet leaves are also something to avoid. But I have not fallen when I slide, lucky.

However, two weeks ago my heel came down in a crack in the pavement and I went over. Only time I have fallen in heels.

some shoes are just not meant to be

What's the heel (and platform) height on the boots in the 4 row, 2nd column?

Thanks

But you don't run out doors....

After 4 knee surgeries (with 5 & 6 coming in a year or so), I don't run very much any more. But who wants to when you are wearing fabulous heels.

I've done a Kentucky Whiskey Tour when grad students brought in many whiskeys in mason jars to a conference after party.

This has never happened exactly as you described. I have, however, been seated and trying on heels right next to women who liked what I had on and I liked what they had on and one or both of us bought what the other was trying on. I am a size US10-11 EU40-42 so my shoe would probably fit most women ( a little big) but their shoe would most likely not fit me. Pleasant thought though. HinH

I was seated trying on heels across from a woman doing the same thing. She tried a pair of what I was trying on and I tried on what she was trying on. We did this with several pairs.

 They might be nice, but a wee bit too far.

Looking for places I can get to via rail.

I had a woman looking for heels for a wedding wanting to try the wedges I had on. I let her and later she told me she bought a pair and wore them to the wedding. I've had two others since then, others just had the wrong size feet.

My plane tickets are purchased, 2 weeks in UK in May/June.  Plan to get a rail pass and use it. Centered out of south-of-London, I plan to take day trips and maybe a 4-5 day trip. 

Bath

Stonehenge (I think they don't let out if you don't go there)

Birmingham and Liverpool (family?)

Now where else should I go.
