Heelfan

Hello Dimpantyhose! I feel a bit guilty posting her, because as usual, us street-heeling guys have hijacked a thread under "For the Girls" that was specifucally directed to girls - sorry Oz! However, just before shuffling off the girls' forum, can I quickly ask you where you purchased your block-heeled courts? (And the we can ALL get some!). Cheerfully yours, Heelfan

A great first posting Thighbootguy, and welcome to Megaforums! The only thing is, I find it very tantalising when members only describe their heel heights without saying whether they are wedges, block heels, semi-chunky, blades or stilettos. Can you tell us what yours are, and then we can visualise the scene a lot better? Cheerfully yours, Heelfan

An excellent posting Vanessa! Bravo! Although maybe it's only what good old Firefox has been telling everyone for years, it's nice to hear it from someone else like yourself. And, of course, many of us veteran street-heeling guys like myself would entirely concur. This message cannot be said too often and by too many people in order to get the new-boys (and even the not so new shy-guys) stepping out and enjoying the whole experience and the buzz. It's so sad to think of any of them (and there seem to be quite a lot) trembling away inside their front doors, scared sh**less to emerge, when it's so EASY and so much fun! Again, an excellent posting Vanessa! Oh, and can you just tell us what sort of heels you had on those sandals? Cheerfully yours, Heelfan

Oh Firefox! How could you? I was going to say all of what you've just said(including that it is made from girders or gurrrdurrrs to be more Scottish) but you stole my thunder by getting there first. I am fairly sure that during my trips to bagpipeland, I was drinking Iron-bru rather than Irn-bru. Maybe it's two different brands(?). Islebeeseeingyuh! Cheerfully yours, Heelfan

That's a new notion to me - someone wearing stiletto heels being described as 'Prim and proper' . If that's what prim and proper ladies wear, I cannot imagine what 'Right little ravers' are expected to wear! The mind boggles! Mind you, if anyone on the school teaching staff is going to wear the best heels in the school, it always seems to be the French teacher! Cheerfully yours, Heelfan

Great Highluc - I like it! Maybe a new excuse for promoting high heels wearing - get all astronomers into utra-high-heels! Cheerfully yours, Heelfan

Thank you Loveheel, our roving reporter giving a backup account from Belgium. We look forward to your report from ooh la la France! Calling all members worldwide - your international high heel round-up reports please! Your cheerful anchorman, Heelfan

Hiya Girls! It's great to see a sudden flock of younger high-heel girls posting in! You're all masters of the very short modern posting, but can each of you stay on keyboard long enough to treat us all to a tad more about yourselves ......... some of the best heels in your wardrobes ...... why you like high heels ........ your sensations wearing them etc. Oh, and A HUGE WELCOME TO ALL OF YOU, and do keep posting! Cheerfully yours, Heelfan

Emma that's terrific! You look lovely! Great pair of legs to which the shorter skirt and higher heels do great justice. And a great taste in shoes! I can only repeat the compliments that I gave on the other thread - that you seem to do everything with a natural style and elegance (nothing blousy or over-the-top). You look 101% convincing and really great. Keep it up, and WELL DONE! You're a credit to the Forum. Cheerfully yours, Heelfan

Yes, I support those sentiments too. Companionship is the MOST precious and important thing in life. Cheerfully yours, Heelfan

AAAaaargh Emma! You've made me feel rotten now - a cad and a bounder for risking preventing you from treating me and all the other members to your slightly naughtier and more exciting side! In fact, if I promise not to withdraw all my nice compliments made above, can you be a jolly good sport and treat us all to your Halloween picture after all? The Halloween thread is crying out for it! Cheerfully yours Emma, Heelfan

Thank you again Shoeiee for being most interesting and informative! I hope others will answer the original question posed by this thread, including some UK members, because I would like to hear if any UK adults dress-up in the manner that Shoeiee reports from the States. Cheerfully yours, Heelfan

Hello Emma! So beautifully and subtly put. Say no more! I must congratulate you again on your tasteful name, tasteful appearance and outfit, and such nice postings. Myself, I'm a happily married street-heeling guy who isn't into crossdressing etc., but I must say it's a real treat to come across your photograph and postings and to see someone doing everything so NICELY! Well done! Cheerfully Yours, Heelfan.

Hello Shoeiee! Thank you for those two links - they enabled me to read with interest the history of Halloween up to the present day. However, I am still none the wiser as regards so why so many American guys have posted here and there that their first public heel-wearing occurred at Halloween. Has guys-wearing-heels (or maybe overall cross-dressing) become an accepted or expected part of Halloween? Or, less formally, is it just a case that it is the one fancy dress opportunity of the year where 'anything goes' and shoe-tempted guys take advantage of this? Or does everyone wear masks in addition to their costumes, in which case could it be that shy-guys feel that they can at last wear their heels in public with the assurance of staying anonymous? I would be fascinated to know more! Cheerfully yours, Heelfan

Can one of you board members from the States explain the Halloween conventions a little more, so that those of us from the UK and Europe can see why and how guys in heels fit in with the tradition. Your Halloween costume has crossed the Atlantic to reach us, but judging by what I have observed of the UK festivities, they just seem to consist of schoolchildren dressing up as witches and knocking on house doors saying "Trick or Treat". I assume then that your original Amercan custom involves adults too, and judging be a number of references on these forums, are the guys expected to wear high heels for some reason? Cheerfully Yours, Heelfan

eirI'm ever so sorry everybody, I had been a silly billy (my dyslexia!) by making errors in two of the postcodes for the three shoe suppliers. Incredibly well spotted folks - you must have eyes like hawks! Anyway, I've editted my posting above and have corrected the errors in both postcodes. Regarding Cover Girl Shoes' address, many,many years ago they used to be in West London. Then maybe around 1970(?) they moved to Upper Street in Islington. Then around the 1980s, the proprietor (Mrs. Cutler?) died, and her two lady assistants carried on the shop and the name around the corner at a smaller shop premises in Cross Street, off Upper Street. As has been mentioned above, their Cross Street address has now closed, and has been turned into residential units. I don't have any address other than the present box number & address which I have given above. That probably suggests that they have contracted down into a private address. However, they do invite you to telephone and make an appointment to visit. Happy heel-hunting folks! Incidentally, I have done the rounds of Bristol's shoe shops today to check the state of play, and ended up buying a nice pair of heeled loafers and a pair of heeled boots. I have posted this account on Firefox's Aesthetic High Heels for Men Forum today. Emma, on a personal note, I've been dying to pluck up the courage to ask whether you are a guy or a gal. You've got a splendid name and you look splendidly feminine on your avatar photo, but some of your postings seem perhaps to be written as if from a guy's perspective. You don't have to answer this of course - I'm not putting you under pressure, I only ask because of your postings having aroused my insatiable curiosity! Best wishes and cheerfully yours, Heelfan

Thanks for the suggestion Bubba! Funnily enough, just this evening Firefox has posted on his own Forum that all of us might be better off surfing on ebay for the nice fashions of the last couple of years rather than looking in the shops for this coming winter's fashions where block heels have disappeared and stiletto heights are coming down depressinly low! Cheerfully yours, Heelfan

Hi again Oz! Thank you very much for those URLs. I straightway feverishly looked at those pages, but sadly although the shoe firm is still in existance, that model of shoe is no longer in their advertised range. I guess it must be quite an outdated model by now because the first two serial numbers are "24", whereas all the currently stocked models are now starting with "26". Anyway, the last thing you want is a guy like me whingeing that he can't get his choice in heels, because you posted this topic as shoes for girls. They are certainly just about the most stylish block-heeled shoes I've ever seen (well spotted!), and I hope this thread of yours continues to receive responses. Cheerfully yours, Heelfan.

Hi again Francesca! As Firefox says - a wonderful collection, especially for one with still so many years of happy heeling ahead of her! Once you've found your feet on these forums, lets hope we can look forward to the odd photograph of your favourites (with or without you in them!). In the meantime, to help meet your original question of other young ladies on the site, there are over 900 members in total, and a minority of them have participated in 'Let's Get to Know Eack Other' (under 'For Everybody'). Having given the sex and age, these are the youngest girls in that group, but there must be many more amongst the 900+ members: Melanie (14), Watsuki (18), PhuongInHeels (22), Carolyn (27), MaryAnne (27), Texas Bumpkin (27), RubberVicki (28), SuzyHeels (30), BootCrazy (32), Sue13 (32), ViktoriaHeels (34). If you want to make some friends amongst them, look them up by clicking on 'Membership List' at the head of this page, find them and see if they give contact details. If they don't, just post an open message to them on these forums. Hope this helps you have a long and enjoyable time on these message-boards. Cheerfully yours, Heelfan

I must have much in common with Robert for I too thought of a red screwdriver. Cheerfully yours, Heelfan

Don't panic JazZee! We ALL joined the board and found to our horror that we were lumbered with the dreaded Comfy Loafer during our first 25 postings. The guys who set up this board either have a sense of humour or a sadistic streak - I'm not sure which! No, actually it's very clever, It's designed to encourage us to make huge numbers of postings to keep the forum vibrant. After 25 postings you will get a marginally (VERY marginally!) sexier shoe for your avatar, and so on, until after thousands of man-hours of postings you will finally earn your 6" skyscraper stilettos, and later still the right to choose any avatar your like! by which time of course, you'll be so knackered after all the hard work that all you'll want to do is to lie down in a semi-darkened room whilst being beyond caring how sexy your avatar is! Welcome, and I hope this makes sense! Cheerfully yours, Heelfan

Well OzGuy, several points. First, I think you have chosen a particularly stylish and sexy style of block heel there - well done! Second, for me your question depends on whether I am looking at these for street-heeling guys or for attractive girls to wear. If the former, I'd LOVE to add these to my own heel-wearing collection, and I'd really appreciate it if you could tell me the source and/or website for them. They would be wonderful! Regarding the latter (girls wearing), I only give them about 6 out of 10, because in my book (and I think, probably most Forum members), you get a clear 0 - 10 rise in enthusiasm from 100% 'Masculine' shoe (flat, heavy, clumpy, covering whole foot) to 100% 'Feminine' shoe (the diametrical opposite to the men's - ultra high thin teetery heel, light, sleek, very low-cut upper to cover as little of the foot as possible - toe cleavage is great!). Still, member's individual tastes very greatly from that main trend which I've just outlined, and that's what makes these heely discussions so fascinating and enjoyable! There's bags of room here and a huge welcome for all tastes and opinions! Don't forget, if you could be kind enough, the shoe source please? Cheerfully yours, Heelfan

Hello Franscesca - Don't get too excited, because I'm only an older guy posting, but yes, there are other young ladies on the Forums. One that comes to mind is Phuonginheels and another very recent member is Miss Bunny(?). Why not click on to the Memberlist on the heading of this page, and scroll down until you find Phuong, Bunny and other young ladies. Some members give their contact details on that list. Best of luck! Cheerfully yours, Heelfan

Francesca Hello! How great to welcome another fresh young, keen girl on to this forum, especially one who is open-minded enough to talk about heels for guys and has actually seen several guys in heels! Things are really looking up! I am a straight guy (happily married with a family) who has worn heels since I was 12 - all sorts block heels, stilettos, boots etc. However, probably more than anything else, I LOVE to admire attractive girls in high heels. Having discussed guys' heels, can you address the title of this thread and tell us about YOUR heels - wearing your heels for guys? It would be great to know the shoe styles, the heel heights, why you like them and how you feel in them! Again, thank you for the great posting, and WELCOME! Cheerfully yours, Heelfan
