AZShoeNut, Its' always nice to get a compliment on our heels, especially if it comes from a woman. Tonight, while checking out at the supermarket the clerk (who sees me in heels often) complimented me on my 3" heeled black booties I was wearing. She said that they looked nice with my jeans that I was wearing. A very nice compliment. That makes our day to get a compliment from a woman to a man wearing heels. Keep on heeling! Happy Heeling, bluejay

Great looking boots and and wedges. I just loved your story about your trip. A great heeling adventure you had!!!!!!! Happy Heeling, bluejay

Another night of heeling. Tonight I wore black DKNY women's skinny jeans, red Izod polo shirt, black leather jacket and black leather newsboy cap. I added my black Aerosoles knee boots with a 3" block heel and black thigh-hi hose. I also tucked my jeans inside of my boots I was wearing. I like the tucked inside look on women and I want that same look for myself. I made a couple of stops and really didn't get noticed until I got to the Verizon Wireless store, where an older lady about 70 made a comment to a male companion, "look at the boots he is wearing". I just smiled at them as I passed , exiting the store. I did get a positive comment from the young woman attendant at the gas station, as I was paying for my gas. "Nice looking boots you are wearing, tonight". She has seen me in heels before. I thanked her for the compliment! Another nice time out in heels and I enjoyed myself very much!!!!! Happy Heeling, bluejay

JeffB, Steve is right on the mark about pedicures. I really enjoy the treatment, I get from my nail tech as she does my pedi. Try it you may like it too! Happy Heeling, bluejay

Schnubab, I like your heels too. I hope that you enjoy wearing them. I also like your fishnets. I like to wear fishnets too and wear them often. Fishnets add a sexy look to wearing heels! Happy Heeling, bluejay

Saudade, those are good looking boots. I hope that you enjoy wearing them. I was at the Mall of America in 2011 and was walking in heels in the Mall in August. I enjoyed trying on shoes at Nordstrom's Rack and even bought a couple of pairs. Where I live there is no Nordstrom Rack or Aerosoles store, I wish there were. Happy Heeling, bluejay

Steve, Great comments. We all like to heel here so have fun and don't worry what others think! Happy Heeling, bluejay

That's a nice look MrX ! Happy Heeling, bluejay

Nice look JeffB, You had fun and that's what counts the most. It's always fun to wear a little makeup in male mode so the lipstick was no big deal. I like to wear a little mascara sometimes and It's hardly noticeable on me even when wearing heels with my suit coat and tie. Happy Heeling, bluejay

Fuminkaheels, Those are very nice looking pumps. I hope you enjoy wearing them. Keep on heeling! Happy Heeling, bluejay

Just a short post of my most recent heeling, yesterday Sunday, November 4, 2012. I chose to wear light tan Dockers dress pants with a bright orange silky dress shirt, matching bright orange tie with my brown leather blazer with a bright orange pocket square. For footwear I wore my new rust colored, Born, "Gail" loafer pumps with a 3 1/2" stacked heel and brown knee-hi hose. I did receive a couple compliments at church on my bright orange shirt, tie and leather blazer. No comments on my heels until I got to the supermarket when I got a looking good comment from a clerk in the bakery department who also said she liked the color of my shoes. So did I! Another nice Sunday morning out in heels. Happy Heeling, bluejay

Steve, That's a nice trivet. Hope that you have a nice place to show that off. It kind of reminds me when I bought the 3M tape dispenser in the shape of a high heel that I have in my office. Happy Heeling, bluejay

Ilikekicks, Nice looking pair of pumps. I hope that you enjoy wearing them. Happy Heeling, bluejay

WisHighHeels, Nice to read your post. I am glad that you were able to try on heels and walk out of the store with them. I love to try on heels in stores and I do it all the time. I am usually wearing heels when I go to try on heels and I usually get great service from where ever I shop at. I love DSW , Naturalizer, Aerosoles, Payless, Famous Footwear, Macy's and a lot of other shoe stores and on-line shopping too. So keep up the posts we are all behind you and your heeling 100%. Happy Heeling, bluejay

Lovyourshoes, You had a great time heeling and for a great cause too. Keep on heeling you will enjoy it, as I do. Sounds like your gal is a very special woman. Hope to read other posts on your heeling. Happy Heeling, bluejay

Those boots rock. I like the look very much. Happy Heeling, bluejay

I will echo what Steve said. You had some nice heeling events

Thanks for your comments guys.

Sure I think the hair does play a part in creating an overall impression that blends in with what people expect to see. My aim isn't to "pass" as a woman though, and I've only every been addressed as "sir" which I like because I'm not being misclassified as anything other than a guy who happens to dress differently from the male norm (but actually quite conventional to the female norm). That's the thing, they're not "unusual" outfits, they're just unusual for men. I admit that places me on the more subtle end of the spectrum while others can be far more extrovert in creating looks that clash the norms more explicitly. I admire that too, we're all breaking new ground in different ways and I think it's not necessarily "easier" or "harder" to be at any point on the spectrum, we just do what we feel happy and confident about. It always takes more guts to go outside your personal comfort zone, wherever that comfort zone may be.

Not exactly "adventures" but here are a couple of incidents from the last few weeks:

1) I went to one of these sportswear discount warehouse stores. I decided to wear my grey courts with black skinny jeans and a grey short-sleeve polo-shirt (womens, a nice fit, not at all baggy). As I was browsing this guy walked past, mumbled "disgusting!" and was out of sight before I'd even processed what he'd said. That's got to be far stranger behaviour than wearing nice shoes.

2) I was in a public washroom drying my hands with my back to the door. I was wearing my new black suedette courts (5" heel with a 1" hidden platform), black opaque tights, stretch skirt (just above the knee) and a black turtleneck top under my blue denim jacket). I heard the door open and then a guy said out loud "Oh, am I in the wrong room?". I turned and casually said "No, you're in the right room mate!". He seemed totally relaxed about it in an oh-well-these-things-happen kind of way.

Actually buying those black courts was a pretty cool shopping experience. In the store I found a pair on the rack in my size and tried them on but they were too small which was strange because I've already bought the same style in blue and oatmeal and they fit great. Luckily I found another pair in my size and they fit just fine. I took them to the cash desk and after paying I asked the assistant "is it ok if I change into them before I leave?" and she said "yes, of course" just like she'd say to any other customer. I changed into them and they looked so stylish with my womens bootcut jeans. As I passed her on the way out I asked "So, what do you think?" and she said they looked really cool, asked if they were comfortable to wear and said she'll have to buy a pair. I said thanks and wished her a good night. Buying boring guy shoes was never this good!

You had some nice heeling events. Don't let the comment of one JA get you down. Wear your heels with pride as I do always!

Happy Heeling,

geot, I was in Indianapolis this past August and I did wear heels out without incident and while I was traveling wearing 2" block heeled sandals with red polished pedi did not receive anything negative between Indianapolis and western New York State, where I live. If you happen to get to the western part of New York State send me a pm and we can meet up. Happy Heeling, bluejay

well it is breast cancer awareness month

Nice pink heels, look great with your fishnet hose. That's the same color combination that I wore last Friday night on my trip to Kay's Jewelers, that I reported in my thread" Heeling with bluejay".

Once again I love that look!

Happy Heeling,

bluejay

Thanks for all the positive comments. I really appreciate them very much! Happy Heeling, bluejay

Something a little different for an "old" shoe.

Its suppose to cool off this wseek so I am thinking my "used" baker boots an

Hose all week.

Like your heels with the black hose. that is a favorite look of mine too. Just last night I wore black women's cropped length jeans and a pair of black fishnet hose with my heels which was totally visible , for all to see, with my wearing cropped length jeans. Read about my heeling, For the Guys section thread, "Heeling with bluejay".

Happy Heeling,

Heels2U, Last Sunday in the supermarket I saw a woman 40ish, wearing multi colored socks with her 5" platform heeled pumps and was wearing cropped length jeans so the colorful socks were quite visible and she looked good too. I told that I liked her look that she was making a fashion statement with that look. Normally I wouldn't think of wearing socks with heels, but her look did impress me! Happy Heeling, bluejay

I really have no preference, Both heels would look great and I like to wear both pumps and platforms. Happy Heeling. bluejay

JeffB, You had a great day and a great outing in your long skirt and heeled boots. The outfit looked great too. Keep it up! Happy Heeling, bluejay

I have several brands that I like. Aerosoles, Naturalizer, Easy Street, Born, Born OC, Modo Spani and Clarks in shoes. For Boots I have Nine Nest, Born, Naturalizer and several other brands that I don't recall. I have a lot of variety in shoes and boots. Happy Heeling, bluejay
