Some countries regard foreign correspondent and spy as the same thing. Look what happened when American/Mexican citizen Jorge Ramos with Univision showed Venezuela's Nicolas Maduro a tape of three kids eating food scraps out of a garbage truck. They were detained for two hours while both the USA and Mexico worked to get them out of the country the next day. Seems impossible to believe this is the same country I lived in as an exchange student back in 1978-79. Chavez, Maduro and attempted Communism only took Venezuela from the richest country in the Americas after the U.S. and Canada to the third poorest in South America now. I believe better days are just around the corner if those poor folks can just hang on. HinH

Yep, and you can't beat that opening greeting, "Hello Wisconsin!!" The show makes occasional reference to Kenosha and Milwaukee. HinH

MIP et al,

Reading his posts is akin to trying to listen to a radio station through "snow" or static. Maybe, in this case, I intentionally bumped the radio dial HinH

Ah yes, the familiar "how dare you wear what you want and shatter my protected view of the world" syndrome. Men can't flip out when they see women dressed in jeans and polo shirts one day and then a dress and heels the next but many women simply can't understand a man trying the same variety. What's going on here is traditional roles being challenged. She sees you about to go out in heels with her and she feels threatened. Your heels threaten her traditional view of you and how you, as a biological man, are supposed to be seen as her protector. Her heels are simply part of her traditional role. She's defining the world by who is wearing the heels rather than person's character. I disagree with Rick24 in that it seems premature to simply state you two are incompatible with each other but I do think you have to directly challenge her apparent insecurity. She sees your heels and is thinking, "Is he turning gay or what's next a sex change operation?" She needs that reassurance that neither of these is about to happen. That can be done by rewinding the tape of the last two years and reviewing what you already know. That you two were attracted to each other for reasons having nothing to do with heels and that heels in of themselves do not define either of you. That she has known of your heels for some time and has not objected. She owes you an explanation for her reaction and you owe her some reassurance of who you really are and why she fell in love with you. Two years is not that long, a blink of an eye compared with how long many of us have known or been married, so you are essentially still in the "road testing" phase though near the end of it I would think. I think all women want to look good next to their man in social settings and what you wear is a reflection of that. I think you two could go out together in heels but perhaps somewhere else not in your local area to start with. A frank discussion is definitely needed.

You could point out that heels were originally designed for men 500 years ago and that it wasn't until the late 1800's that women exclusively started wearing them. You could point out that men still design much of what women now wear from their heels to their dresses and tops. You could show her this website but don't do it until after you have started to really talk about things. Whatever path you choose know that you have received some caring and thoughtful advice here from many men who wear heels and only want the best for you.  We live in cities and suburbs and small towns and rural areas all over the world and have wives and kids and work in a multitude of professions. Heels are one facet of our personality. Keep the dialogue going and keep us informed. You came to the right place    HappyinHeels

Whilst I had to vote for just one I'd point out these results are not really indicative of anything revelatory. The fact most of us really like just about all heels or we wouldn't have joined this forum. I therefore conclude, whilst all of the heels are not pleasing to all of the forum members it is a certainty that some of the heels are pleasing to all of the forum members. It is the different approach that makes this journey (the forum) the interesting place it is. HinH

Whilst you are in the right place if you are looking for people, men and women, who like high heels and talking about them this is NOT a fetish site which could attract the wrong kind of audience. It is a fashion website where the high heels are the foundation of our discussions. What brands, style of shoe or boot, whether purchased at a store or online, our interaction wit the sales staff and perhaps our interaction with others if we wore heels whilst shopping, and what type of outfit we wore the heels with. This is the theme of this website. HinH

mlroseplant,

Okay I understand now. Considering you live in a small Iowa town and wear your heels openly everywhere and haven'y been spotted yet by coworkers I don't think your worries are that big. If you are that concerned now about a possible sighting by coworkers then perhaps you shouldn't wear them just everywhere. This all depends if one of your new coworkers lives in your same town. Is that what you concerns you? Such a new coworker may have already seen you and you just don't know it yet. I say keep on doing the job you are trained for and keep on wearing your heels wherever the hell you want and enjoy your life. HappyinHeels

mlroseplant,

You are a highly-trained industrial/commercial electrician and damn good by now at what you do. You show up at the appointed time, carry out our tasks to your supervisor's satisfaction and to prevailing job and industry standards, and get along with your coworkers. If you master the scope of what they pay you for then nobody has any business straying beyond that scope. You're paid and evaluated by what you do on THEIR time and not on YOURS. I have never understood how some companies try to skew things as if people at home in their underwear (or heels) needed to be mindful of what their employer might think. Besides, what is commonly known about the world's dirtiest business, is worthy of a novel and all the skeletons in the closets. Your heels are not one of them. Your proven work abilities should be the only talking points. HappyinHeels 

Here's a high wedge made for me by Tony Shoes of Los Angeles in 2017. Pure cork base at exactly 7" (17.8cm) so it cost $135 at the time. I specified a slingback strap. Nice neutral

colour so it will go with a lot. I have a bag matching this colour too. I think I posted this before but I resized it. I really want to wear these to some outdoor event this year.

Okay then how about beach combing in Hawaii or some of the island nations of Oceania?? Does that improve the average? I'm just glad you have the health and finances to do these trips because there's many who don't. I count myself lucky in that regard. HinH

luckyhubby,

Welcome to our forum. You're in the right place for discussing a love of high heels. Remember though this is a fashion site and not a fetish site. We don't want the kind of traffic a fetish site may attract which would affect ad revenue. Otherwise if you like talking how you wore them and where you wore them then this is the right place for a guy in heels to be. Thanks for joining. HinH

C H E V A L I E R  (here's my 2200nd post for the 2nd time, think the counter is off)

The around the house/apartment zone is the "do whatever the hell you want zone" so mixing and matching has no consequence. HinH

Cali,

Aha a name change! These things can be had to keep up with when you don't live right there. Beach combing on the islands I am guessing somewhere in the Caribbean. The Canadian slopes I will guess skiing in Whistler or Alberta? Both good places. Have heels will travel must be your motto. Yes, I plan to return to the ballfield in SF this spring and will start really looking at the schedule closer.  There will be a name change in Milwaukee in 2020. "Miller Park" will become "American Family Park" because of a naming rights change. That will be different. HinH

It is my intention on getting back to San Francisco this spring to see some more Giants baseball as I did last year when I saw a series between SF and Cincinnati at AT+T Park. Met Cali back then and we had fun so I hope I could meet KneeBooted as welll. Making these encounters happen I believe underscores the real value of this forum. You just need to give people some advance notice so logistics can be sorted out. And keep your phone charged HinH

Yep, what CAT says is true. The service is always better when you are in the store in heels than not. It removes any doubt and gives them the vibe you are not a bashful customer. HinH

This illustrates one facet of the albatross that is the EU. Control your choices and your life by moving part of your capital, and by extension your identity, to Brussels. J-1986 is right mailing to someone else doesn't alleviate the tax issue. You may have to just forego the purchase if it isn't too late and choose another vendor and this time inside the confines (I mean that literally) of the EU. The other issue may be it may be time to move out on your own. I know it's more expensive but sooner or later this has to happen. HinH
