Could be fun to go to the exhibition in skirt and heels! Already done that so it wouldn't be anything new to me! Let's agree on date and time and see what the publics reaction is

Graham I know you're going to brighton for the model exhibition, but on the footwear/clothing side of things, I don't think it would matter what you wear, it's brighton after all! If you wear something "normal" you'd feel distinctly out of place!

Well, i've moved on from comfy loafers, but cowboys? Think i'm gonna have to post more!

I've got to admit that this is something I fear also, however, I think firefox's idea was to contact manufacturers and shoe shop's not joe public (correct me if i'm wrong firefox) I do think it's important not to portray ourselves as some kind of fetishist's and just another bunch of people who like to wear what we like to wear

Squirrelheels, Do you have access to the internet? If so, you could buy online (most reputable companys do have a return policy in case the shoes are the wrong size) other than that, just be brave! Or you could go shopping with a girlfriend, then it won't look so odd to be browsing in the womens section. Tip, when buying clothing in the women's department, most people just assume you are buying for girlfriend/SO

Plenty of heels on girls around here, but i'm the only guy who seems to wear any! Can't think why .....

Boot's or Casual shoes with blocks, nothing too ostentatious

Either: A. Buy online B. Go to a shop, find what I want, and buy it Simple really

I think enterprise is going to take a couple of seasons to get of the ground, bit like tng did in the late 80's It looks very good though and I hope they do try to tie all the loose ends together

Quote: Fair point Bob, count me in in the 'don't' category then. Got a few responses though! Amazing how something as apparently simple as footware can illicit such a response!

Just bought a pair of boots from Brantano, style called Virginia in size 10. They come to just below the knee and are very comfortable Great to see shops selling bigger sizes!

OT Now correct me if i'm wrong, but 12" to the foot would be a little large for a model wouldn't it? Sounds like the stuff my dad used to drive for a living (Bristol VR anyone?) As for "free entry" to see your model railway, think i'd have to raise my faith's by a quarter inch to qualify By the way, sounds like your layout put's my old hornby set to shame but I think the "model railway" running past my parents house would take first place, it's the Romney Hythe & Dymchurch Railway!

Are there any other meets planned throughout the year?

Just wondering how long it took some of you guy's to come out of the closet? Although i'd fantasised about wearing hi heels for some years I never bought a pair. Once I did though it only took about a couple of weeks before I tried wearing them in public and what a feeling it was! Just about the entire heel was showing as well and nobody said anything.

'Fraid I can't make either of these dates, i'm working Shame as I would like to meet some of you guy's! Maybe later?

Good luck with these! Thought, why don't the shoe retailers put some of the more masculine styled women's shoes onto the men's racks and see what the reaction is? Could be interesting ....

If you like 'em, wear 'em, if you don't, don't. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder!

Can't believe how popular this board is, you've really gotta check it daily lest you miss out on something. Good work firefox et al and keep up the good fight!

A pair of lace-ups from Barratt, syle called Yaris with 3" heel

BTW, on this side of the pond, Enterprise is only into it's third week

I love them all, but I agree about Voyager, it was a refreshing change to see some strong female charachters and they were more free with the storylines. I think I will enjoy Enterprise, it look's like there will be a lot of humour in it, it's been a chuckle all ready

I kinda just go into them! Quite literally fell upon jenny's website and thought what the hell, bought a pair and a week later was wearing them in public thanks to everyone posting (and e-mailing) through the forum, thanks guy's!

Perhaps they're trying to do some socialy engineering (or am I just a conspiracy theorist?) Either way it's about time the fasion industry actually gave some thought to what men really want to wear. You were going to do some flyers, how's that coming along? Perhaps it will make shoe makers sit up and take note!

Great board but just one question, can anyone tell me how i change "comfy loafer" to something sexier? Especially since i don't wear any such thing!

I think I should mention, that in Islam the rights of women and children are actually protected to a degree only bettered in the western world in the last 40/50 years and that in most cases in the muslim world it is the men and not religion that is the cause of most inequality, anyway, can we really call our society equal? Many still think it's odd for men to wear high heels and skirts and will bully or otherwise make fun of those who do! We've all got a long way to go, Afghanistan just has further, perhaps we can help each other
