G'day, James,

You look great in those booties! I will have to break down and get something like them myself. Looks good. So does breakky! Put some Vegemite on your toast, mate!

Steve

Great story, MP! Now that the cat's out of the bag, you can be much more relaxed next time and not feel awkward. Sounds like you handled yourself very confidently.

Steve

Great story, W6! Maybe that big gal was the bouncer and if you hadn't behaved yourself, you would have been toast! LOL

Steve

James,

"Then out on town, slim jeans and stiletto boots."

You mean there's night life in Canberra? Really? lol

Anyway, you look great in those pics! Thanks for sharing!

Steve

Black_boots,

I suggest you go to an online site that carries that brand (google it) and style and read the reviews. They almost always tell you if the fit was true to size, too big, too small, too wide or too narrow. And most reviewers will tell you other information as well. You can get a pretty good idea from the reviews if you want to take the risk or not. Good luck!

Steve

G'day, James,

I was impressed with Myer the very first time I went there, in Albury, I think, when we visited our friends who were living in Tallangatta at the time (2001, and since moved to Bendigo). Great store. Been in several Myers stores since then. I have a large cache of Vegemite here from Myers! LOL

So I'm anxious to learn what Myers is going to unveil in larger size shoes, too!

Steve

PS. And just yesterday I came across a new, unopened pair of Kolotex pantyhose I got from the hosiery outlet store on Parramatta Road. I'm sure you've been there, right?

Yet another great reason to travel down under!

Steve

Wine bottles with screw caps are SO much easier to open and more convenient anyway.

Steve

Hi, Mike,

Yes, I'll vouch for you. Nice to see you posting again.

Mike and I have met on a few occasions and he has no fear of wearing stiletto boots in public. He has an awesome collection of classic styles in his walk-in closet, which I've been privileged to see.

Steve

Knoxxx,

Welcome to HHPlace! Glad you're here.

A lot of guys get started wearing heels as a sexual thing. I did. But it isn't sexual for me any more. After doing it so often, it's lost its sexual excitement. I just love wearing heels, and I'm still passionate about it. And since I don't consider it a sexual thing any longer, it's a lot easier to wear heels in public - no shame or embarrassment involved. The downside of the way I went about it was that it took 20 years to convince my wife to let me go out in heels publicly. She was "trained" by me that heels were a fetish. I switched gears faster than she did, but we're both on the same page now.

BTW, I also get professional manis and pedis and keep my nails neatly painted.

Good luck with your relationship; your guy is very lucky to have such a supportive companion. I hope he shows his appreciation!

Steve

Chrism, you are right and you have good advice. Don't be so silent. The more people who chat here, the more interesting this place is. I wear heels everyday, too. Block or tapered heels, but not stiletto. Sandals, pumps, boots and clogs/mules.

Steve

I often wear heels to the local fitness center, and use the stationary bicycles and the recumbent cross trainer. Both are fine in heels. I never wear stilettos, so the broader heels are stable. Nobody has ever said anything to me. I don't wear heels on the treadmill, though. If I'm going to do the treadmill, I'll wear athletic shoes.

Steve

Make sure your wife knows she is always your first priority and the other stuff will not seem so important to either of you. Put your relationship first.

Steve

To Mtnsofheels: Best regards to you and your SO from me and my SO! Sounds like life is good!

And now back to this thread....

Love to, next trip Down Under, whenever that is. Hopefully within the next couple of years. Don't wait for me, though. Have a good time getting together!

Steve

Yep, as soon as I saw that skyline photo, my eyes were instantly directed to her heels. I didn't even have to enlarge it!

Steve

If the parents don't have the "high heel gene," they simply cannot understand their son's desire to wear heels, and they can be fearful for his safety around potential bullies and fearful for his being an outcast when seeking employment. But they can know how much it means to their son, if he reminds them every now and then how grateful he is for permission to wear heels in their home, and he can return their love so that the bond is as strong as it can be. With continual exposure to his heel wearing, they'll get used to it over time, and hopefully figure out that it's only shoes.

At least they don't seem to mind when I walk around in heels at home.

That's a major concession on the part of your parents. What I predict is that they will get so used to seeing you in heels that they will eventually give you approval to wear in public, at least to some places. It's a matter of getting used to you in heels. So use the time to enjoy your freedom to do that, indoors, and at some time in the future, you can go out into the world on your own. If I were you, I would show my parents how much their permission to wear inside the house means to me, show them love and respect in every way, and not bring up the subject of wearing in public for a long time. If they know how much it truly means to you to wear heels, they'll understand how happy you are about that permission. Keep us informed.

Steve

W6,

I like your style. I like your attitude. And I admire your ability to walk in heels like that without killing yourself! LOL

Stay cool (which is easy in Canada)! LOL

Steve

Excellent advice, Impala. I agree with you. Communications (or lack thereof) is the key issue here. HHL23, there has to be a frank discussion so that the two of you can get on the same page. She needs to know how you feel and you need to understand how she feels about the subject. Find common ground, compromise, make some rules that you're both comfortable with, and move forward. Otherwise you'll find yourselves moving apart. A good marriage counsellor might help, or a trusted friend or family member that you can both confide in. A facilitator like that will make it easier, but it's not necessary. You can do it if you both want the relationship to survive.

Steve

Yep, I agree with you on that! Save the heels for happy hour!

Steve

Eccentric identity is no problem for me! HA HA HA. But does my degree in geology (from way back in the Pleistocene) make me a rock star?

Steve

Nah, he'll be back. That's his mode of operation. He wants us to BEG him to tell us, so he knows there's an interested audience out there. Just be patient.

OK, W6, LET'S GET WITH THE PROGRAM!!! QUIT MESSING AROUND AND TELL US NOW!

Steve

Good report! Glad it all worked out well, and at least you got in some heeling without upsetting your wife. Welcome back to reality! Now go out and have a great weekend.

Steve

W6,

Hey, you big tease! C'mon, tell us what happened! Got any pix?

Steve
