Small fishing boat. I don't wear heels hiking or on certain surfaces, doing construction.

Hi Cali - what style is CFM ?

Forgive me - its not a term I'm familiar with way down yonder here in NZ .

Sorry, been off at work. Here's some examples of my CFM's: the Steve Madden Dreamgrl and the Bamboo t-strap. I had never heard the term until one day a work a woman told me that I had CFMs on.

I'm a tender foot.  I don't see how anyone can walk in shoes with such thin soles.

The other thing is how long have you worn them already. What feels fine at hour 3 might be a little irritated at hour 10 and raging inferno at hour 20. Just be careful.

Hi all.

In the summer I mostly wear high heel sandals with shorts to work. 90% wedges, 10% CFMs. But I thinking of wearing a pair of booties with my shorts. I will have a pair of very short socks that will not come above the booties' shafts. Has anybody tried this look or have an opinion on this "look"?

From far you look like a friend of mine, a black women about the same age as you, but with less hair than you. She unfortunately had breast cancer and the chemo afterwards took her hair. That was about 4 years ago. She is still doing fine but has no hair. Occasionally she will wear a fashionable hat but mostly it is hairless.

Depends or stay near a bathroom. You wont be able to get around too fast.

they wanted to see what shoes I was wearing THIS week! It was rather nice to find that out. I feel very lucky.

I hope you help them out by showing your shoes to them.  I'm often stopped by women at work so they can see what heels I have on. If I have long pants on they ask me to raise my pants. You get a nice feeling from these encounters.

No I'm not starting anything off with a lie!

I very much plan on telling my future partner about my heels but personally they don't need to know straight away. One just doesn't tell the world everything straight away.  

I am me (23 years old) and not pretending to be anything else.

Im sorry that I'm not so in people faces and being able to just strut my stuff freely. You don't know me and what I've had to endure to get this far. 

Maybe "lie" was too strong of a word to use, but not the concept. 

I do know you will be unhappy and frustrated if you settle for a woman that is against your heel wearing.  Being 23 you are very lucky, women of your generation are more open to different things. I'm in my 60's and women in my generation are very much set in their "idea of normalcy" and not open to different things. I know I am outside 90-95% of them. If you think it is hard in your 20's, it's very much harder at my age. In fact I just met a woman that I felt comfortable with and she used the line "we too far apart", valid because with the traffic here the 50 miles could take 3 hours. Sad part, I felt comfortable with her, and that's very rare.

I not saying to strut your stuff in peoples faces either.

I don't strut my stuff. I don't want to draw attention to the fact I have heels on, I want the fact that I have heels on to just be "normal" and I treat it that way

I have colored nails, my fingernails have a clear gel with sparkles that only show at certain angles. I don't take the gel off for dates. And I do use running shoes if we go hiking and conservative booties with a 3" heel or boot with a 4+" heel. I use my fingernails as a barometer; if she notices them and dislikes them then I know that she is not the woman for me, if she notices and likes them then we continue. 

If you don't show the woman you are interested in she might turn away once you tell about your heels - because your not the guy she thought you was.

BFGheels, do you want to start out this (future) relationship with a lie, and have to live in the closet?

I too am looking for a woman as well, and I decided I not going to hide anything.  If she is not strong enough or is so concerned that I paint my nails or wear high heels then she is not for me. I know I am reducing the possible mates, but I rather be me and be happy than act like something else.

Welcome fellow Californian. 

Take it easy on your feet. start slower with shorter periods of time.

Usually there is a 1.5 different between men's and women's feet, so a men's 8.5 should be a woman's 9.5 - 10.  Either get you foot measured or go to someplace like a DSW (clearance area)  or Nordstrom's Rack and try shoes on.

I'm an US women's size 10 and that's in the normal range so the variety we have is gigantic.

You shoes should not hurt. Maybe after 8 - 10 hour a pair might be too much, but they should never hurt.

Life's too short for shoes that hurt.

When you get a favorite store or a store that likes you, then tell you what's coming in a when. They hold shoes they think you might like and bring them out when you come in. I visited my favorite store, very small store. When I entered there were four women shopping, two trying heels on and two just looking. The two sales associates working the floor left their clients to come talk with me. Told me when the new fall stuff was coming in and what was coming. 

They also made men's shoes with that thick wavy sole. I had a pair and wore them quite often in the late 70's. Wild shoes to walk in.

I had hair that long (and even longer) many decades ago. But for some of us the hair goes. Lost a great deal when I picked up a "bug" in Asia and had to take antibiotics for six months.  So enjoy your hair while you can.
