I really wish i could pull off that look, you look fantastic mate 

I follow your Costa thread... I think you have the heels look down too!

Spending the week at an older hotel with ceilings so low I was initially concerned about hitting my head on door frames with heels on...

Thanks! Yes i have make a small out in the my neighborhood without any problem, no one seems to see that there are heeled shoes, there are a very confidence booster boots !

That looks like a very normal and comfortable heel that are in many men’s shoe styles too.  Looking good, glad you are enjoying them!

Yeah thanks for checking, hope you enjoyed the afternoon as the rain cleared.  I’ll be heading up to Fort Worth this week if anyone wants to meet up in that area...

I really like the 4” heel height too.  3” was relatively easy to get to and wear around for 16 hours straight.  4” was a little different at first but I’m pretty comfortable with it now and can wear them day after day 16 hours straight.  I have done a bit of shoe shopping and still have not come across anything taller than 4” but that is probably for the better as being 6’4” with heels is plenty tall.

Most men will never try “girls shoes”.  Many won’t even try the 2-2.5” heels that can be found in some men’s shoes, but I agree that if men were more open minded they would discover how comfortable heels are.

OK, well let's look at a possible example....Let's just make up a boot manufacturer, say "Heels", and a particular style of their boots, say "Classics", and are advertised to have 4" heels.  Are you saying that size 7 "Classics" probably have lower heels than size 11 "Classics"?

I believe that there is some variation, though possibly not completely proportional.  All the heels I own that are advertised with 4” heels measure significantly over 4 in my size, and I wondered if it is due to this scaling.  

The other thing I try to have sympathy for is just the physics of women’s smaller feet.  A woman in size 7 wearing 4” heels is going to have her feet at a much steeper angle than my size 11, and I imagine will be going through a more intense heel experience than I am.

Is this just my cultural bias? We keep mentioning "guys as guys in heels," so what is wrong with "walking like a guy in heels?" I'll tell you what's wrong with it. It looks goofy as hell. The question is, why does it look goofy? Let me see if I can put this succinctly: The traditional macho man walk is clumpy and awkward, not fluid and graceful at all, flats or heels. At the other end of the spectrum, the female model runway walk is equally ridiculous and inefficient, not suitable for the street. My ideal walk is fairly athletic, feet and legs close together, but staying on the side they belong, not crossing. Relaxed spine, shoulders down and back, arms swinging naturally but not excessively, gaze straight ahead as a "return" position. A minimum of bounciness. Although I haven't tried this exercise in a long time, I imagine that one could balance a good sized textbook on his head while he is walking.

Is this ideal too feminine for a guy as a guy in heels?

There is nothing feminine about your description of the ideal walk at all, whether it be in heels of flats.  Sounds like the way I’ve walked my whole life.  If the “macho man” walk is to waddle around like a gorilla, I’ll pass.

When quoting an image, does it really duplicate the physical file? I assume it should use the same reference (src link), not so?

 

I think Tech is trying to limit traffic, which gets multiplied with duplicate references to an image.  This is different from the physical storage of the image.  

I think this is the last cold day for the season.  But for me this is just moving from cold boot season to warm boot season.

Yep they were ugly. "Boondockers", or steel-toe workboots, were not much to look either at but were practically indestructible. I still have mine issued in 1980 and they're the only true steel-toe shoe I have. You can still read the word "Goodyear" on the bottom. Walking on tyres, I love it  HinH

Wow.  Nearly all my shoes have a Goodyear welt but that is taking it to the next level!

I love chasing dreams.  Trends and concepts from the collections make their way down to us.  These are not inaccessible brands.  I own pieces with these labels.  No, I did not pay even the anchor store prices - Last Call and Nordstrom Rack are amazing places.  Also, the brands that are followers will watch the market reception and produce cheaper knockoffs.  It’s fun watching it all unfold, and in the process picking up nice looking pieces that may have been overlooked by the average person.  

After Tecovas did roller skates for their April Fools joke, I went online to see if anyone has actually rocked high heel roller skates.  Anyone here up for trying this?  

Snapped a picture on my way down the elevator at work.  I hadn’t really thought much about how these pants show even the ankles until today.  No hiding or special illlusions - just boots with 4+” heels.  Did some shopping after dinner to get in 3.1 miles of walking before taking the shoes off for the night.
