My premise is if you want to wear your heels to work, you got to first wear them outside the house.  I know there are some situations and professions where heels are not appropriate, hey I mow my lawn in my running shoes even though stilettos help aerate it. I think I am old enough to not care.

I think I started a little stir when I posted a picture of a colleague comparing her wedges to mine at work.  Many people said they wish they could wear heels to work as well.  But wearing my heels at work means I wear them on the way there, the way home, everywhere I go that day.  So you first need to be confident in your heels in public.  THB and JeffB both have over come this hurdle (and much more).  While I not interested in wearing skirts, etc. I am determine to wear my high heels every where I go. I have styles I like and styles that don't work for me.

So this is for those who opening wear their heels in public and what got you over that "hurdle" aka "out the front door".

Thanks Stoney. I went to the INLP website and just order 5 colors.

I'm addicted to color.

I wont be wearing wedges to work doing parts and diesel mechanics stuff....no, that calls for boots or at least booties.

The road south of Carmel is closed. A bridge got taken out by the storms this year. And about 30 major mudslides before Hearst Castle.

I am an open high heel wearer. Wear them where ever I go.  Australia, Argentina, Chile, ..., LA, Tahoe, S.F., Vail, Denver, Texas,  ....

I was in S.F. a few years ago and a guy selling something on the other side of the sidewalk (by Pier 39 area) shouted out "Prince" and ran over and gave me a fist pump.  I had a group of UCLA students walk pass me and some of the male students come back and tell how brave I am and how "Fly" my heels were (Speedlimit 98 7 inch wedges).

Thanks HinH.  Science professor. As I said above, there is most likely not a wedge policy at most places of employment.  The only thing holding back our male members from wearing their wedges (or heels in general) to work is themselves, everybody has there own comfort zone. It's very liberating to break through that comfort zone and start wearing your high heels openly in public.

So the first step is start wearing you heels openly, then think about wearing to work.

Comparing my shoes with coworkers is very common thing for me. I'm known to constantly having one of the highest heels at work. So women always want to compared their heels to mine.  This one coworker just happened to take a picture because her's were new.

......... always strive to look as good as you can, whether you just wear a pair of heels under male clothes, or go all out with women's attire like I do.

Always try to look good.  You can even get that extra bit of confidence knowing you look good.

Sorry they aren't hiring.  Your company doesn't allow wedges at work?

It's not so much the company allowing you to wear wedges to work, its more "do you have the intestinal fortitude required to wear 5 inch heels in to work for a full workday?"

Thanks hhboots.  The first one is on the less than cute side and too short.  With a 2 inch platform I looking for 6 to 7 inch heels.  The second one could work , but I don't get that "WOW" factor.  But at that price........

I like the lace-up from the toes since I have a high arch.  Most of the time it's this part of the shoe that I have trouble with.  One of the reasons I don't do pumps is how then cut into my tops of my toes.  That's why I use the foam padding trick at times.

These are Maxx Out wedges by Restricted.  I have them in the tan and cognac colors, but these are now 2 year old models.  You wouldn't believe how many women asked me where I got these, two even asked to try them on and then went out and bought them. But they are 2015 models and I looking for 2017 shoes. After all I have a reputation to maintain.
