Thighbootguy

This is from a guy that loves thigh boots. It is also my first post. I have been reading the board for months and finally decided to jump in. Recently (before the weather got too hot) I decided that it was time to go out in public with my 4" heel thigh boots. I have been wearing a pair of 3/4" (flat) heel boots in public for several months, mostly shopping and around the house. I have several pair with 4" and 5" heels but had never worn them in public. On the way home from work I thought, "why not let's see what happens". So... I put on a pair of black leather 4" boots over (not under) my blue jeans and stopped at our local Sam's (this is a big warehouse style store). I got out of my car, grabbed a shopping cart, and away I went. At Sam's you have to present a membership card to enter. The lady at the door noticed, smiled, said "hi", and that was it. Up and down the isles I went, some people noticed the boots, but all either ignored me or didn't notice. A digression -- Using a shopping cart with heels is a good idea if you have trouble with balance (I don't) or just want something in front of you. Some people don’t see past the cart. When I finished shopping, I had to stand in line at the checkout register. Everybody noticed, no one said a word. (I'm sure the employees are trained to not say anything and to be polite). After going out through the parking lot and loading my car I went to the gas station, filled the tank and went in to pay. Nothing... I stopped at a Taco Bell and went in to pick up a salad. Again, I stood in line at the counter. The first comment was from a lady directly behind me who wanted to know where I had gotten the boots. We chatted for a minute, I got my salad and left. I have since been back to Sam’s several times wearing thigh boots. Several times heads have turned but no one said anything. I either live in a very liberal area (I don’t think so), or my view of the world is all wrong (a distinct possibility) and people really are nice, or I have been very lucky. Whatever, I still am cautious about wearing heeled thigh boots in public. When the weather cools off I’ll start again. I’ll share some more experiences later.
