I would even go as far as suggest men will ask you where you got your boots. It happens a lot when I have boots on.

if you're not willing to give it up then it's best to let them know before you get too involved

That's why I show up in 4+ inch open-toe wedges. There's no hiding your heels when you wear shorts.

as soon as a progressive woman is confronted with something like that, she starts saying she is old fashioned, and likes the 'old ways'. It's very cruel, and hypocritical to boot.

Women say they want a guy who can think out of the box until confronted by out of the box thinking. I've been a research scientist where there was no "box".

The question is would you give up that fetish for the right woman?

Sorry Charlotte, for me it pain relief, not a fetish. You wear your heels in more of a fetish way (locked,  etc.) than some of the men here.

Would I give it up...NEVER. After over a decade in constant pain, to accidentally find something that is drug free, NEVER!!!!!! 

Charlotte I not trying to "beat up on you", just trying to educate you that not every man in heels is doing it for a fetish reason.

In my opinion just being honest is the best policy.  One of 2 things will happen.  Either she will like it and you will be happier or she doesn't and you find out she's not the right person for you.  I've found out the hard way that a guy was not right for me.  It was better to find out then invest more time in it.

Charlotte - how would you react? Would you be okay with it? If you have limits/conditions, what are they?

The trouble with "just being honest" is too many women can't take it. And extremely very few over the age of 55. Many women are jealous that a man can walk in high heels as if it was tennis/running shoes (British translation: trainers), especially if they can't. Many women have "norms" embedded in them that prevents them being okay with this (aka lemmings). And most of the women that are okay with it, but not for their boyfriends.  It's tough to be "honest' up front, over 60, and dating.  I'm up front with it because have no choice since I wear heels most of the time.

This thread is from March, so it begs the question: Did you tell her yet?

Thank you @Cali don't hesitate to post pics of your new purchase

They didn't fit , so back they go and my quest for blue suede boots continues.....

Gone geometric, base is holographic.

If irony is worth getting some of, then what the intrinsic value of it?

There's a lot to be said for the brown envelope on Friday with cash in it.  Why did workers allow their bosses to pay them monthly?  Now that it's all electronic, why don't you get paid daily?  Ask your boss tomorrow.

Why wait, email them tonight.

I can see forever....

Hi everybody,

i just receive my new pair of chunky boots from new look! Very comfy and silent with the rubber heel! More pics will follow until this weekend!

I believe they are called lug sole, nice. I just bought a pair of blue velvet boots with lug soles like these. I hope they fit.

However, sometimes the strap just simply isn't long enough.

Then you need to make the choice:

(a) do I get it and do something about the strap - replace, add to

...or

(b) forget it, the heels are not worth the effort

I had women in stores complain to me about this problem as well, like I could do something about.

Practice, practice, practice. Then more practice. You'll get it, we Californians are resourceful ...LOL

Hard rules. Sometime Rule #2 can't be used.  The Steve Madden Gretchen's were too tight but I got the at clearance...no returns. I worked on them they fit and will be worn to work soon.  You know you can add extra holes to the the strap. I use a finishing nail, a hammer and a small piece of wood. I locate where the next hole should go and hammer the nail into the strap. Turn it over and do the same on the other side. I have large strong ankles (also known as THICK) so I need the extra hole or holes. The Gretchen's also required new holes.

I violated Rule 2 again today. I have been looking for blue suede heels. Found a pair, but I read that they ran narrow, so I went a size up. But I couldn't find a store with a size 11. Since I had a 25% off coupon/code and bought gift cards at 74% of face value. So I took a gamble. If they don't fit I can always take these back.

I hopefully got my blue velvet boots. I'll post pictures if they fit, I'll return them if they don't

Depends on the where and what your doing. How often? (And how smelly your feet are---just kidding) But why are you wearing heels where you need relief in the first place?

Why not some blonde highlights, you've been out in the sun.

Came close several times. I've gotten my stiletto tip caught in a crack in the sidewalk and almost in the gap between the floor and the elevator car. I have also slipped on a wet polished cement floor.

I start work for a new concern later this month and have to introduce them to the fact that I wear heels to work in. I'm a little nervous about doing that. No butterflies here, just pterodactyls.
