ShoeDre

I think I'm very picky about what shoes I like. As far as shoes that you find in the women's section goes, they must be stiletto heels, and I'm very fussy about the shape of the heel too. The lines must be perfect. In some sense, these lines are the most attractive bit about wearing heels. I need to feel perfectly elegant.

I have been out to dinner with friends before whilst wearing heels. I don't do it often more so because my wife and I don't get the chance to go out heaps. If I want to get about and do stuff quickly, I don't wear heels. They are purely for pleasure. When I'm not in a rush and don't have awful terrain to traverse, I'll choose heels.

All of my important friends know and have seen me wearing stilettos. I've never had any issues with wearing them whilst they're around. Occasionally I get the comment, "I could never wear shoes like that!" But they always say that it's just their decision and they respect that I like to wear heels and skirts etc.

RAWR! More Aussies = AWESOME!

My new recent purchases

Black hidden platform pumps, but i got the matte black leather, not patent.

Guess - Carrie, also matte black

and a cool pair of red open toe platforms

so hard to choose what to wear now !

Umm, those red shoes... Can you tell me more details please? That's exactly what I've been after.

Small peeptoe is ok, but if your showing more of your foot, then just show it. I tend to feel that more hose showing is a little fetishy. If that's what you like, go ahead. It's just not for me.

I agree with hhboots and Dawn HH. Personally, I don't care how high they are, as long as they look good. For me, that's 5". With a size 42 foot, that gets a good angle to stop my foot looking long without the shoes looking fetishy. Forget what anyone else wants or any expectations. Whatever works for you is where you should aim.

Welcome to another Aussie!

WOW! Amazing legs....really 'girly'! (Did I say the right thing...??).

Thanks for the lovely compliment. I used to play lots of soccer, almost four times a week. My legs used to be better then. Now I'm just lazy, but maybe one day I'll get back to it.

Hi Emma. Good to see another Aussie join us.

Finally I can contribute to this thread. I had to wait for my waxing appointment. Unfortunately, I don't have a full-length mirror, so this is the best i can do with my phone camera. Anyway, here it is...

Hmmm... I might have to give this one a go in a weeks time. Unfortunately this has come up at the worst time of my waxing cycle. My current top three would have to be: Trolldeg, Pata and Amanda Snake. I was going to exclude all legs that aren't bare, but Trolldeg's are just to good to exclude.

From what I've heard, as late as 1927 it was normal for baby boys to have pink cloths and baby girls had blue. It odd to see how quickly it can be turned around.

Awesome to see another Aussie joining. I'm from Melbourne too, out in the eastern suburbs. I look forward to seeing more of your posts soon. Hope you enjoy it here.

Looks like I'm the first to say my wife has more than me. Personally I love that she has quite a few heels. To me it's not a competition, just a good thing that we both have some that we like. I love seeing her in heels and I'm the perfect excuse for her to buy more. In the same way, she is very supportive of me getting good looking heels. I'd have more if I could find a wider range of quality shoes that fit me. I think I'm one size too large to fit the regular range and I'm not a big fan of the 'Pleaser' type brands. I have a few pairs, but they are simply not as nice as the other shoes I have.

Congrats mate! I remember how nervous I was before I told my wife (at the time we weren't even engaged). The relief I felt about it was amazing. My guess is it will take her a while to get used to exactly what it all means. Remember how long it has taken you to understand yourself in this regard. It took me a very long time to find out exactly all the implications. The internet is a wonderful resource. My wife searched around for herself to try to better understand my phenomena. Initially, she was worried about a few perceived possiblilities such as what it infers about gender and sexuality. She found it a relief to see that most men that have interest in what are classically female items, are straight and quite sure about their gender. At some point I hope you get to the same point I have with my wife. We both go shopping and enjoy discussing and buying fashion items together. She now loves the fact that if see wants to ware some stockings and can't find any in a certain colour without holes, that I can lend her mine. We both share makeup, which effectively means she has far more to play with. There are many benefits for both of us. I wish you as much happiness as I have got from being honest with a wonderful women.

More Aussies! Welcome mate. So which state are you in?

There are a few Aussie members here that have had some experience with public heeling, but I'm not aware of any of them being non-Melbournites. I'm in Melbourne and I've gone out a few times in 5" stiletto heels. Just last week I went out to dinner with my wife and a friend of mine. I had fishnets and a skirt on too. As usual, nobody says anything to me. I'm not sure as to whether it's just the way Melbounre is, or if it would be the same in other major cities as well. My advise to you is to do whatever you want to do with confidence. If you feel uncomfortable, people will notice. I contantly see people saying that they go out on their own, to some place they never normally go, to experience their first high heel outings. Whilst I understand the principle behind this behaviour, I think it's doing it the wrong way around. From personal experience, going somewhere you know very well is far more comforting. I'm sure you must have someone you know that you can tell your feelings about heels to. I think it far smarter to tell someone you know and trust, than to walk out amongst people who you have no idea about. Once you tell them, you can have someone with you when you go out for the first time. They can comfort you if you get any adverse reactions and may even help motivate you when the dreaded fear strikes. I think the hardest thing to workout is the idea that your not a freak of nature. There are many people who do all kinds of non-conventional things. It may be different than the normal, but that doesn't make you damaged, or some sort of weirdo. It is society that has the issue, not you. When it comes down to it, they are just shoes. You just want to try a different style of shoe, one that has an aesthetically appeal that challenges current conventions.

Crap! Heelguy you beat me to it. Anyway, great to more Aussies here. I hope you enjoy the forum.

Sigh! I must admit I'm finding all this bickering is getting tiring. I don't agree with Tech's way of going about this, but I do understand his point. He, like the rest of us, has a belief in the way he should act. If you don't like it, that's fine. Personally I don't like it, but I accept that that is his way and that I should not deny other's of their voice. What I'm getting far more sick of is the constant arguments. If you disagree and can add to the discussion, say your bit, then leave it alone. If you have nothing new to add, perhaps saying nothing is better. I think we should try to avoid ongoing arguments that are achieving naught. So... Can we now return to the original point of this thread?

Heya, Yeah we've had a few Aussie join lately. It's good to see. I hope you enjoy the forum.

I'm very glad to see that you didn't take what I said the wrong way. I do see many posts by men in the girls section getting deleted. Honestly, it puzzles me as to how anyone could get such a clear message wrong. As I said, I do not agree with that rule, but I'm happy to live by it, as it isn't really a big deal to me either way. I just hate to be associated with that type. I hope you can understand how some of us do the right thing because we want to be productive members. Initially I thought this thread was a discussion as to how this section of the forum was going to be run. I now understand that this is merely a thread in which people can voice their opinions, but does not have anything to do with what will happen. I'm guessing there are a few people who made my mistake. I've seen you clarify this fact a number of times now. Maybe it would be a good idea to lock this thread, or otherwise just ignore the content, excusing normal moreration. It seems to be a continual source of disruption and I feel has caused you some frustration. It's just an idea that might be helpful. Anyway, thanks again for not seeing my post as a personal attack. My philosophical nature enjoys healthy debate.

Same reason more men are in prison than women. Women pay more attention to things and can control themselves.

Wow! I'm not sure I could find a more inappropriate thing to say. Not only is it offensive, but illogical. It's like saying that all cats have 4 legs, my dog has 4 legs, ergo my dog is a cat.

I don't like to argue merely for the point of arguing. I don't want to offend people here, especially the web admin of the site, however someone needs to stand up against the idea that I'm a male thus I am a psychopath with impulse control issues.

It's 'your' site. It's your rules. I may not agree with them all, but I'm happy to be here involved in discussion. I'm thankful that you have made a wonderful site where we can share ideas. I just can't stay mute when such discriminating statements are made.

The colour is 'Kinky in Helsinki'. It's one of my favourite colours. As I typed it out, I was thinking how close you live to that city. How ironic it would have been if it was Kinky in Stockholm. Close, but just a bit to the right.

Another Aussie... Great! Welcome to the forums
