  1. I went shopping for leather pants today. So of course I was wearing some serious heels as the whole purpose of the leather pants was to go with my boots with 4 inch blade heels. These boots have plastic tips on the heels which can make them a little slippery on a tiled floor. So as I walk through on of these large clothing stores (Target) I slip and fall with my feet in the air. Obviously this attracts some attention from the people around you, in particular when high heels stick out in the air. I didn't hurt myself and continued shopping but it was rather embarassing. I pride myself on being able to walk quite well in heels, but I guess these things happen. I'll try to show a picture of the boots with the pants I got. It looks great. I wonder if other people have had similar incidents.

  2. I agree with the Doc. I am "average" male weigth and with cheap shoes with thin soles, the shoe bends, making walking very uncomfortable. One advantage of platforms is that they thend to be stiffer (sorry for those of you that dislike platforms). When I go shopping for shoes the first thing I check is the bending of the shoe. If it is too flexible I just don't buy it as it will be uncomfortable for walking some distance.

  3. Really interesting question. While I have always been interests in heels, my heel wearing got bolstered when I didn't mind being different anymore. I am one of these people that did everything in life that was expected from me, and now it just got a little boring. I wear heels regularly but not at work. I am still quite woried about the negative consequences it can bring with it in a work environment. This may depend very much on the type of work

  4. I thought of having my ears pierced. But after reading Laurie's description it seems like a complicated thing. I can't really afford to show up at my job with two ear rings. SO it would only be for occasional use. Keeping them in for six months ... ?

  5. There may be be many issues that determine a women' reaction to a man wearing heels. People are complicated. But shoes are shoes, and when you have a passion for high heeled shoes I think it matters very little whether you deal with a man or women. I have seen this behavior in sales people. Once in a while I get served in a shoe store by a person who loves the shoe thing even more than I do, and you really get the feeling from them that the fact that I am a male trying on HH womens shoes is a non-issue. Some of the pictures on this web site prove that guys can look pretty sharp in HH shoes, given the right combination of outfit and shoes (just like is the case for women). I know plenty of woemn that have no clue how to coordinate their outfit. What colors our feelings is the other stuff. The association of HH shoes with lack of masculinity. Once we get past this, there is very little resistance that remains (except for the little envy of not being the only one to grab people's attention. Larieheels, thanks for the very honest post on this. You have my greatest respects). This is why in the end there are many spouses that seem to have no problem with their husband wearing HH shoes. They know him to still be the same person, whether in flats or on heels. It is only the shallownes of random interactions that allows the association of men in heels with lack of masculinity to live on.

  6. I find stilletos no harder to wear than block heels, but there definitely is a difference in appearance. Stilletos are clearly womens shoes. With block heels, even the 4 inch high ones, people just seem to be "confused" as to whether the shoes are womens or mens. Not that it matters to me. Just saying there is a different reaction.
