I used to shave my legs years ago but don't any more. Obviously if I'm wearing heels with trousers it doesn't matter, but I've always loved black opaque tights and they cover my leg hair perfectly. If I'm dressing up there's nothing I wear that they don't go with.

I agree with Rockpup, you need to talk to her about this. I know that in your mind she's going to pick this up and run with it, but to be honest it's unlikely. You need to find out exactly how she feels about the idea, and what level of involvement she's comfortable with. It may be that she's happy to indulge you sometimes and act as keyholder, but then again it may be something that makes her feel uncomfortable and the jokes are her way of dealing with it.

As was said above, you need to find mutually acceptable boundaries, and the only way to do that is through discussion.

They're knackered mate, you need a new pair.

It depends, not if I'm just wearing heels with my regular clothes. Heels, tights and a dress, yes.

I'm a 7.5 UK, sometimes 8 so I can buy heels with no problems. I do sometimes wish I was a 6 as a couple of my female friends have said that I could try on their shoes if my feet were smaller, but by and large I'm happy with the size I have.

For now, this pair of heels are at the top of my list but I still love all my pairs of heels  Giaro Slick Heels 8.jpgGiaro Slick Heels 10.jpg

They look really sexy with the white socks and black tights.

I liked the parody. I don't understand why all the furore over Claire's heels in the movie though, if she was portrayed as being hampered by them or as vulnerable then the screams of "misogyny!" may make sense, but she was pretty badass. The fact that she was able to do all the action stuff in heels was pretty impressive.

I agree with Amanda that this might be better in "for everyone" unless you don't want a female perspective.

For me I don't think it was about the heels. She knew from very early on that I liked them, and while she never moved on from a position of "don't ask, don't tell" it was never really an issue, we just grew apart over the years. I don't think it helped that we married in our very early twenties, and you grow up a lot between 20 and 30. The heels certainly didn't help, but we had plenty of other areas where things just didn't quite line up. 

If your marriage was fine apart from friction about your shoes it would be different, but it sounds like it's just not working out. If that's the case ideally you need to both discuss where things are going and see if you can work it out or if it's time to call it a day. If it's reached a point where you can't even discuss it, that's probably a sign that you should move on.

I've ridden on the back of one in stiletto thigh boots.

I'm not saying "what a weirdo" and never did, personally I don't care what people are into as long as no-one's getting hurt, however this is not that far from saying "So, Chinese foot binding looks like fun, how do I get into it?"

My only concern on this issue is that anyone who actually does this is permanently damaging their body in a way that could affect their ability to lead a normal life.

Most people who see a guy walk in heels will say something EXACTLY like that. Irony much?

Not really, a guy wearing heels isn't deliberately and permanently damaging himself.

Why someone would want to do this is beyond me, it's not healthy.

With my ex-wife, yes. Despite knowing about my heels early on she was not happy and never got past "don't ask, don't tell". Wearing them in front of her was not an option.

My wife now doesn't much care what I have on my feet, her only concern is the growing size of my collection!

I really like small platforms up to about an inch but not really any larger. A 5" heel with a 1" platform is sexier to me than a 6" heel with a 2" platform even though the arch would be the same. I like that platforms accentuate the length of the leg and allow a higher heel, and they do help to protect your feet from unexpected pebbles, which are really uncomfortable with a thin sole.

My daughter's three months old so so far it's not been a problem. Fortunately my wife is completely ok with me wearing heels, and we're both hoping that she'll have an open mind when she's older.

I've never worn heels while riding a bike myself, but my ex girlfriend once took me out on the back of hers while I was wearing her 4" stiletto thigh boots. That was fun!

I have AdBlock disabled for this site.

Me too, I'd love the spend the morning in there trying on!

Those boots are gorgeous, but if I had hardwood flooring you wouldn't be wearing them on it.

speaking of spurs...Id say get a pair!

I really, really, like the look of stiletto boots with spurs!

I love those shoes, they look a lot like the Hades range: http://www.hadesuk.com/ The only thing that puts me off is that they're not leather and for the price, I want real cow.

New Rock have a similar range, I have a pair of these: http://www.camden-boots.co.uk/New_Rock_PUNK001_C1_p/punk001-c1.htm they're really fun to wear!

One of the reasons I miss Faith is that of the three branches I used to visit all the sales staff were really good about me buying heels. My favourite experience was in the Carlisle branch, I'd had a look at a pair of knee-high boots and had moved over to the shoes when one of the assistants asked if I needed any help. I picked up a black leather court shoe and asked her if they had them in an 8. "I'll just check." she said, and consulted a hand-held gubbins before saying "Yes, we do. If you'd like to take a seat I'll bring them over for you to try on." I tried on the shoes which were a bit tight, she commented that I probably wouldn't be wearing them with socks, but if they didn't feel right when I tried them on at home I could return them. When I got to the checkout the assistant there mentioned that they also had the boots I'd been looking at in an 8 and asked if I'd like to try those on too. The boots fitted perfectly, and I had to have them!

Both assitants were friendly and helpful and didn't seem in the least bit fazed by the fact that I was buying heels for myself. The girl on the checkout mentioned that she loved the boots, and that she'd noticed me looking at them and thought I might like a pair. Their attitude that day lead to two sales, a happy customer, and a very good impression being made. Unfortunately this was only a few weeks before they closed down.

I don't know if it's correct, but I call anything that looks like that "ballet flats" little bow or not.

I did some painting a few years back in my six inch stripper platforms, they made cutting in at the top of the wall much easier!

The wording could be along the lines of boyfriend jeans for girls.

My thoughts exactly.
