The boots look great, but the leg hair doesn't, in my opinion. If you can't shave, consider wearing tights. But if you CAN shave, do so. You'll look better and feel better. Leg hair sucks. Steve

Roni, You left out one important detail - were you wearing hosiery/socks or not, and if so, what color? If your skin is light and the shoes and pants were dark, the contrast would have been a lot more noticeable than if you were wearing dark hosiery or socks. Please tell us what you were wearing. Steve

I like those. They look unisex, perfect for streetheeling. Let us know if anyone notices. My guess is that if they do, you'll get a compliment because that person has the high heel gene, too! Steve

Welcome to the forum, and congrats on the new online store! Would you care to share the URL? I'd like to see your web site. Thanks! Steve

Very interesting thread so far. Thanks, Kneehighs, for starting it. I'm firmly convinced that someday science will discover the actual existence of the "high heel gene." All of us here on this forum were all born with it. We can't explain it, it's just there. It's what motivates us, and it's why we can't get rid of our passion for heels even if we try - talk to those who have purged their heel collection and come back again to buy more heels. I think it's more than just conditioning. I don't agree that we're all born with a blank canvas and social conditioning makes us what we are. We're different from birth, and social conditioning mostly just makes us frustrated by establishing artificial gender boundaries. Steve

G'day, Kingnoodle, Welcome to the forum, mate. Please don't take this criticism the wrong way; it's meant only to be constructive. The word "fetish" that you used in your post has connotations that don't apply to everyone. A lot of us here don't see heels as a fetish (in the sexual sense), but rather see them and wear them as fashion choices. Perhaps you meant "obsession." That would be a better word choice, and certainly one that almost everyone here can relate to. Anyway, great to have you on board, and please don't take offense to my comment. I just wanted to let you know that not everyone feels the fetish aspect of heel-wearing. Steve

C'mon Geezyweezy, it's not fair to tease us like that. Tell us what happened! LOL Steve

Dave, Congrats on the award! I vote for the thicker heeled boots. They look sharp. Can you swing by Granville for a visit before or after? Love to see you again and maybe have a meal or coffee or a beer with you to celebrate! Shoot me a private message and we can make plans. Well done! Steve

I think that two elements are working in your favor. One is that you and your wife seem to communicate very well. You aren't keeping secrets. You put the cards out on the table and she can deal (pun!) with that. The second thing that I detect is that you put your relationship above your personal needs. There is a lot of togetherness. That lets her retain her confidence and security. She will come to learn that her manly man can still wear heels and be even more of a loving husband! Keep up the inspiration! Steve

HF, Welcome back! We thought you went behind the moon and abandoned all your friends here. Glad to see you posting again, and in some great shoes! My opinion is that you look much better in pants than in a skirt. I find the juxtaposition of your manly beard too jarring with the more femme skirts. The pants and bold and make a much better match. Just my opinion of course. Glad to see you again! Become a regular here again and help a bunch of newbies (who have joined since you last posted) to gain their confidence. You always come up with great outfits! I personally like #1 and #4. Steve

Standard, Thanks for sharing your story. Sounds like it was a very positive experience to get you off on the right foot (so to speak) in your heeling career. You have a latent high heel gene that the sales girl detected and found just the right buttons to push. Welcome to the forum! My advice is to practice a lot before you go public with those boots or any other heels. Get the hang of it so you feel comfortable and move gracefully and competently. It will do wonders for your confidence, which influences your body language and lets others know that you know what you're doing. Women find confidence sexy, and other opinions don't matter. Keep posting your progress! Steve

April 10, April 17, May 1, or May 29 work for me. May 1 would be my first choice. Busy the other Sundays. Steve

You bet! I enjoyed the last two, and I'm for another one if we can arrange it! Got some busy weekends ahead of us, though, so not many windows of opportunity. But suggest a few dates and we can pick. Steve

I wear shoes with 2.5-3.5 inch heels almost every day. Mostly I wear clogs with block or tapered (but not stiletto) heels, as they don't look too femme. In the past six months I've bought three pair of Naturalizer shoes (which you can google) - their Vitality pumps, Glassy boots, and Quin T-straps, for a bit more diversity. My staff is ok with it. It's good to be the owner of the company and set my own dress code. Steve

Histiletto, Were you in guy mode or girl mode? How did you appear? What else were you wearing? Steve

Bern! Your face! Did you have a bad spill? (just kidding! the boots look good!) Steve

I applaud Tech's stand on this issue. While the population on this web site probably represents the entire spectrum from transgendered to transvestite to freestylers to guys in completely guy mode with low heels and everything in between, Tech has stated where the line is drawn quite succinctly and I happen to agree that it is drawn in the right place, not only for me, but for the future success of this forum. If you allow this site to become yet another CD/TG or fetish site, then it has no appeal for those of us on the guy-mode end of the spectrum, and we'll leave. If you keep it where it is by strictly enforcing the rules, then it will continue its unique position indefinitely. So I encourage everyone to respect the rules. If you don't agree, you're free to form your own forum and attract your own following. Thanks to Tech and the Mods for making this site special. Steve

It really doesn't matter what others think or write. If you like to tuck your pants into your boots and do that for the look or do it for practical reasons, then just do it. If you don't, then don't. There is no right or wrong here. The fashionistas have their opinions (and unfortunately publish them), but they're just opinions, not legally valid or lawful at all. Most of them would turn up their noses at guys who wear heels in the first place anyway! The key is to do what you want, and be tolerant of others who do what they want. Don't look for approval or disapproval. Just do your thing, and do it with confidence. Steve

Maybe you could get a quantity discount! HA HA HA Steve

My wife said I could "window shop" but I couldn't "fondle the merchandise." HA HA Steve

My feet get too hot in pumps, but when I switched to sandals, they're perfect. I can sleep comfortably all night in them and they don't get too hot. I wear between 3 and 4" heels. Steve

G'day, Mal! Great to see you come out from behind the moon and post again. We've been wondering what happened to you. Stay safe from all the flooding, mate! Steve

Yep, "crime doesn't pay" (as well as politics!) ha ha ha! Steve

Hey, that will give me another reason to stop by GR and visit again one of these days! Steve

I applaud your coming into public wearing heels. It's not easy! And yes, teenage girls in a group can be impolite and do stuff they wouldn't do if they were alone. So just ignore them if that ever happens. When you dare to be different, you have to expect some reactions from people who can't handle it well. Good luck! Steve
