kneehighs

Okay, PJ, since your so efficient with your time that you can post a reply but not post an answer to my question, why don't you tell me the original thread answers to this question came from...

As Nine West posters state: THINK PINK!

I'm sorry about your relationship ending on such a sour note. I know you feel hurt and sad and hope you will still stay in touch on this board.

I just recently had a similar situation, except for the blind date part. I had already talked to a girl 4 times over the phone until we could fit a date into each others very busy schedules. Well the date went so well she invited me up into her place. Then after a couple of hours of cuddling and kissing, she asked me if I was going to remove my boots. I was wearing my NICKELS globe, flat kneehighs. She even complimented them earlier on in the evening by saying nice shoes! So, I was nervous to say the least. So, I unzipped them and she said, "knee highs!" I said, "unique!" And she smiled and nodded a yes. The next morning she said, "those are some REAL boots!" We're scheduled for a second date and things are going very well so I gather it's no big deal to her. Being in New York City, maybe she figures they were actually mens boots. She may not know yet that they were womens...

reminds me of Julietta

FYI--just last week Nine West debuted about 7 pairs of a size 12's on their web site!

Hey Squirrel! You know what? I'm a "professing" Christian , albeit lacking on the practicing side of the equation (especially with church attendance). Anyhow, its nice to see someone else of possible similar religious interest with similar womens footwear interests as well.

Julietta, You are a dream come true for a man. You are so awesome in your support and your encouragement of your friends new look. I wish there was some formula for "sorting" through women to find more like you! Best wishes in your adventures and hope you both stay strong!

I forgot one time I went to a bar on Bleeker street in the village and met a brunnette from Amsterdam. After the bar closed at 4 a.m. we went and walked around the city of Manhattan for awhile. We stopped at a 24 hour restaurant for breakfast and then: I saw her boots. They were Euro 41's. I think I said something like, "boy, those look nice. I bet they would fit me too." So we traded boots (I was wearing 9 west flat knee highs) and I slipped into her 3" heeled boots. And then we walked around the city even more. Boy, did she look hilarious--like she had some BOZO THE CLOWN feet and I had to laugh out loud at her. Then she laughed at me too cuz I was wearing her heels. We stopped and made out, the traded back into our own clothing. It was fun!

I asked the girls what they thought because I was curious and it was fun. I do not need anyones approval for me to enjoy wearing heels but my own, but my desire is to find a woman who encourages me to wear high heels on our dates out, and our dates in...(you know)...so, just to get some feedback on my STYLE and overall FASHION sense, I asked...Plus, its tremendous fun if you ask me! You should have seen the girl in black leather pants. I didn't even look at her shoes before I talked to her. And when I looked at her shoes and she looked at mine, we both smiled and I said, "My god! They're the exact same kind." This goes to mention a story of some Nine West DONEDEALS I bought. As I was walking up the steps of a bus and looked to my left for a seat, only one was available next to a pretty brunnette. She too was wearing DONEDEALS so that made for an interesting moment.

For the first time ever, this last Saturday night I braved the New York City nightlife scene wearing a pair of black Nine West 3.5" blade heeled boots with the heels totally exposed. My initial commitment and desire to "come out" overcame my intial hesitations. The environment was a very popular dance club. A few excerpts from my adventure: First, no one really seems to notice your heels. If they do, they really don't seem to care at all. People have more things on their minds--like themselves--than they do someone elses shoes. Second, I actually went up to 4 women and asked their opinions about my entire dress code. I was wearing black slacks and a grey DKNY shirt which I directed their attention to. Once I had their O.K. on that, I asked, "and what about my shoes?" The first girl who was Turkish laughed out loud. She looked down at them again and laughed out loud again. Fortunately, my self-acceptance is powerful enough to strenghten in this and I moved onto the Second girl, who was college aged and blonde. She made a thumbs down gesture. Then her friend came over and she too made a thumbs down gesture. This didn't phase me even a bit as I replied, "thanks and I appreciate your honest feedback." She said, "you know what. Fuck it. If you like the shoes, wear them. You think I give a crap what people here think of what I wear. All that counts is that you like them." So, to me, that was POSITIVE and encouraging comment. The third girl who was wearing leather pants said, "the shoes look okay!" I said, "you know they have a heel on them" and she smiled and shook her head up and down. Then she asked me to walk around a little in front of her. When I came back she said they looked feminine. I asked if it would be better if I wore pants that totally covered the heel and she said yes. Again, a POSITIVE and encouraging comment. The fourth girl was such a brief and fleeting converstation that her opinion didn't resonate with me either way. This was overall a GREAT and uplifting experience for me. I realized that I really do feel safe and secure wearing heels totally exposed in public. Most people in New York are conditioned to expect the unusual so I expect a desensitized response from most. I do not depend on that desensitization as my starting gun though. My starting gun starts with my heart. And if I feel like wearing high heels, feminine and dainty and all out from now on, I will forever confidently and fearlessly wear them with pride.

Look, that was definitely a description of how I feel when I put on a pair of boots and in saying this you were right. It is a state of mind I enjoy and I think we could all agree rightfully so. True, how I attain this state of mind could be different from how others attain it. And everyone has their own unique way of approaching life. I prefer to approach women with this state of mind as my states of mind are like unconscious radio wave transmitters in that they send out signals to other like minded individuals. I want a woman who likes to wear boots, so I will assume a state of mind of liking boots. And if you look at the specific sub-context, you will see that my "fantasy" (albeit an extreme word) is to attract the kind of woman that will share this with me. Basically, I believe your state of mind is crucial when it comes to meeting new people. And the single biggest and most common mistake I think other male heel wearers make, or have made, is that we are relying on other people to accept us FIRST before we can feel good. This simply does not work. You must first learn how to produce good feelings of acceptance in your body and mind. Otherwise you are relying on othere people to make you feel good. Now, if thats the case, WHO has the power? Learning how to induce a a good state in yourself and others is one of the coolest skills I can imagine. What is also fascinating is the variety of methods to do so. It can be done verbally or without even opening your mouth! The advantages of this are infinite! For yourself, imagine being able to accelerate your learning ability, access unconscious skills or just relax and think more clearly. The advantages of learning to induce powerful states of self acceptance and respect are infinite. In altered states of consciousness you are more able to notice things that are going on around you. Your perceptions are heightened. It is easier to do almost anything! Imagine being able to unlock your creative potential and hallucinate new possibilities. Maybe you can build them into your future and make them real! Inducing a state in others by FIRST inducing a that state in yourself can get you more than you can imagine. Thats why on some level I put myself through that process.

who really cares whether I'm right or wrong about how women get turned on, or whether I've but into some silly media stereotype? That paragraph was just a silly process some people go through some of the times when they wear boots, thats all. Why the damn argument?

Oh my god! Thats sooooo coooool, getting chatted up by women. This is my dream, my fantasy, my Ultimate Utopian Reality. May I ask what the woman said? I'd like to try this look despite my anxiety. The West Village seems to be the best place to test it. Along Chrisopher street anything goes--except that I'm straight and don't want to project myself as gay. Heels exposed is no problem, but heels with the entire knee boot exposed (what women feel very sexy and sensual in--as they pull that zipper up and hear its noise and as the boot gently and softly envelopes their legs, the leather becoming like a second skin and rousing butterflies in their tummy, tingles along their neck and arms....)Oh how I envy how women have envied you!

"whats intuition like?" When you begin to listen And hang on every word, You get an intuition. Your mind is now your lord. You hear this voice, inside you, The voice you've heard before. This voice has been there for you. This voice has opened doors. As just a little girl, You found a special friend, This voice told you "Just do it! Your joy will never end!" Remember all those times This voice was in your mind. It will be there forever, Until the end of time. In only a few seconds, If you should hear this voice, You can really trust it, Let it make your choice. This voice now whispers to you The thoughts that come between Your thoughts, inside your heart, The wishes deep within. The wishes you're denying, The ones you're longing for. This voice tells you, "Just do it. Step through that open door. Leave all your cares behind you, Your future now unfolds. You're free from inhibition. Free from society's holds. Take in what is before you, Embrace it in your soul. Allow it deep inside you, And let it fill that hole." This voice knows what you're thinking. This voice is very wise. Just trust your intuition, And follow its advice.

smeugd, perfect! Did you notice much of a difference in responses from women. By difference, I mean from when you wear heels with pants and from when you wear your knee high boots fully exposed? I could be wrong, but to me, the full exposure of knee high boots would seem a greater attention graber and head turner...and what color were your leather shorts?

I work in a trendy, upwardly mobile young professional environment where many "beautful people" go. It's a literal visual feast fit for a king every night as I see many beautiful and voluptuous women wearing heels like this in New York City.

I'm just curious if any of you veteran shoe wearers out there have ever worn knee high boots fully exposed? I've scanned fashion magazines for clothing combinations that make sense, but have only found one photo of a man wearing knee boots in DETAILS magazine (I think it was the October '02--an ad). Any experiences to share?

Have any of you guys heard the cliche, "attitude determines altitude?" Well, when it comes to effective "freestyling", I think JEFF B is the quintessential embodiment of "freestyling" success. Instead of crawling into a shell, he stuck his neck out. Instead of hoarding his shoes in a closet, he spreads his beautiful feathers for others to admire. His expectations cause his success with heel wearing because he has conditioned his mind to expect positive feedback from others. While my life is sprinkled with random examples of positive feedback from women, in his life its a daily occurence. Maybe some day I too can have beautiful women admiring my heels! And as for mind reading, you can read SOME people's minds with SOME accuracy SOME of the time.

I agree that for us trying on shoes is a Major Buzz but for other people just another transaction. Think about it! If you saw a girl being sneaky about trying on mens stuff, wouldn't you think she was a little strange?

I think its awesome that JP Gaultier, a leading name in the fashion industry is out there "pushing the envelope" on socieity's standards for culturally acceptable fashion taste. It's almost as if we male high heel lovers have our own personal spokesperson working for us. I'm glad he has men in heels, and men in skirts!

Has anyone in here ever gone out on a FIRST DATE in heels? I've dated women many times when I've worn Nine West knee highs, but concealed them under my pants. The girls even compliment them saying they look like "sensible" shoes. But has anyone out there dated in heels?

My favorite brand is Nine West. I just adore them all! Believe it or not, 60% of all Nine West divisions sales are done in Manhattan! Nine West is a division of Jones Apparel Group (ticker JNY on the New York Stock Exchange). I also like Bandolino, Etienne Aigner, and Franco Sarto.
