partyshoes

Used to wear my moms shoes in secret through my teens - like most of us I was always terrified I would be caught. Was fine until my feet passed hers size and then it was always a bit of a stretch! When I finally moved into a place of my own, I took a pair of her cast-offs which were destined for charity - a pair of white court shoes with a 3' heel. The cleaner found them - blagged her that they belonged to a girl I'd met and they had to go! Finally bought pair of my own in my mid 20's. They were a pair of black suede courts by Bally with a 3 heel - they were so comfortable it was scary!

I think that responses so far are spot on - if you're comfortable doing it, then go ahead do it and dont worry about what others thinks or worry about whether you have the legs for it or not. Glad youre going .. have fun and be sure to let us know how it goes

We may have passed each other on Tuesday --

New Look also does a fair range of 9/42 plus they have a wide fit, all reasonably priced. Granted that they are not Aldo quality but they do fit well and are comfortable. Although the ladies who helped me giggled a bit - they were young - they were more than willing to help and I got these

Also found out that Next also a 9 but didnt see anything that I fancied. Think I've bought enough black shoes - the brogue style were a first for me though

How do i feel ??? Jealous!!

Best of luck to you both - hope youre back on your heels real soon.

Yep, the race card is a poor excuse! Particularly interesting in this case because if they stopped their narrow minds to think for just minute, they'd realise that athletics is one area where skin colour doesnt really matter / count / have any influence. Simply look at the fact - a large percentage of champions (past & present) are people of colour!!

....looking to exchange thoughts....

Think the basic principle of an 'exchange' means that you give us your thoughts and we'll give you ours on the matter.

Whatcha thinking about

great Buy, like the toe shape! Congrats!

wand even got out and opened the gate, actually 1st time out the house in heels!!

still plan on trying the 5'' heels soon, will post on that as soon as it happens!!

Congrats FX - look forward to reading about your post about 5" outing

So what's the big deal about going into a shop and saying "I'm interested in that style shoe; do you have it in a size 10, please?"

I guess its different strokes for different folks!

Some of us are still trying to understand our desire to wear heels when society frowns upon it whilst others - like yourself Guy N Heels - have grown through and understand the desire (and are very comfortable with it). Whilst I admire your openess and even think you serve as a role model - not all of us are at the same point as you

Really she said, guess we will have to do something about that. Now it's heels, painted toes, stockings, garters and negilee's for around the house, neither one of us could be happier. I'm a lucky guy.

As a rule I dont but having looked at the RI boots, I think I may be a bad influence and say YES - go for it! They are very nice

V commendable - an hour of basically standing still in 5' heels is not to be sniffed at. You go 5inchlover,

Good on you bru!! It is so cool to see someone else driving and getting around in heels.

Did you do the Wimpy Womansday thing. (where the men get free coffee if they wear heels) We went out for coffee to Wimpy on Monday and it was a blast.

I enjoyed the outing so much. I can not wait for the next one.

Mooi so!!!!

Just my luck - an opportunity springs up and I'm out of the country . Oh well, just have to make sure Im home for coffee at Wimpy next years on Womans Day

FXHH - Congrats and well done Boet! Very jealous Know what you mean about the space between the steering wheel and legs, it is tricky! Plenty of ways but ultimately its practice. On another forum, someone suggested keeping knees together and swinging both legs out at the same time .. or getting in, sitting down first with back facing handbrake and swinging legs in. Apparently ladies wearing skirts do it this way to make it easier. Each to their own Enough rambling - congrats and thanks for sharing. Gives us all hope

Black suede, 5' with hidden platform from New Look - their wide fit range make these very comfortable indeed. Could wear them all day but Better Half will be home so will cut short

I could settle for these from J. Renee if they came in my size.

Nice, very nice. But I think I'll stick with Walter on this occasion. These heels go straight the top of my MUST HAVE list

Theres only one colour for boots for me - Black. Sorry I'm a little boring

I use a similar strategy, a recent pair i bought from select i went to the store took a picture on mobile being obvious and then text, in a minute i would relook at phone pick up the shoes and off to the till giving impression i sent pic for approval, also you could go back to another select walk straight to staff show them the pic and ask for them in whatever size they will assume your girl has sent pic.

Ditto - both work !!!

Still doesnt stop me breaking into a cold sweat :nervous:though wondering what they think of a bloke buying heels.

He encourages me and I encourage him, perfection in the making..

GG

I'm jealous - but welcome to you. Hope that you enjoy your time with us and look forward to hearing about your adventures together

I wouldn't try to put the wife in the middle and I wouldn't go back at all until they are having their "going out of business sale".

I agree - theres an unspoken rule in marketing that says for every good experience a customer has, they may tell 1 other - for every bad experience they have they tell 10 others. Although you havent posted the shop name here (probably a safe bet not to), make sure you do tell your 10 verbally.

about 10 hours - around the house is the longest I've worn heels without a break. I decided to paint the house in 4' heels, felt sooo good but really flt it the next day - could only manage 4 hours before my feet were screaming at me! Highest heel is 4'

You are a lucky man - I'd settle for that in the privacy of my own home, let alone out and about

Hi and welcome - am sure that you will find lots of like minded people here and we look forward to hearing more from you

Thats fantastic news. Has lots of us going green with envy - got any vacancies
