1. My faves are all from Payless. I even have one pair that's about 23 years old. At this age the glue is giving up in spots so they're not suitable for outside wear. 2. The sizing of their shoes is fairly consistent, depending on the style of shoe I can wear 10M, 10W, or 11M. The difference has to do with the heel height and whether the shoe is closed or open. 3. I have reached the point where I will try the shoe on in the store so that way I don't have to worry about returns. 4. Their new designer names are pushing the prices up near $30US but they have a lot of sales for $5, $7 and $9. I don't wear them out, I just get them for the look and feel as I wear them around the house.

All about the shoe is great and they fit you so well that the hair doesn't take away from the look. Where did you find them?

Like many others, my feet are not equal length. I can fit a women's 10US on my right foot and a 10.5 or 11 on my left. The problem is that an 11 is too big for my right foot and it slips out of the shoe. I don't know too many (any?) brands that carry 10.5 women's.

I myself do not use this as a vehicle for meeting females. Call me paranoid but there are too many trolls looking for pervs. I'm just interested in knowing that there are others who share my passion for shoes.

It was the internet itself that led me to find out that I am not alone. Starting with the earliest bulletin boards and news groups I began to correspond with others about their preferences. Mine is womens' footwear only, heels and flats (no boots). I have no desire to "be" female nor am I interested in sexual activity with other males. There is a complete spectrum of others, some who have shoes as a primary interest, and others for which shoes are just part of the outfit. While I would love to be able to wear in public I don't care to push the issue. In my case it is just enough to know that I am not alone.

I'd distinguish between northern and southern Europe. From my experience, north States seem to be more open, tolerant, while here in Italy "man in heels = this".

If that's a man in those heels then I'm done.

Only get them if you're going to give us full-size shots of you with them on. They're sexy as heck all by themselves but that's not the point.

I would count her among the lost and just move on.

Yes, I have heels, flats, and loafers that I wear outside at night.
-
I like both pointed and round toes. I don't care much for platforms though.
-
I do like it better when they whisper "call girl".

Good to hear you're both still around. Our prayers are with you for your complete healing.

Hi Laurie. Welcome back. Its good to know you've healed from your injury. I hope your pride also recovers. 4 inch heels are adequate for many here. You don't have to be totally outrageous to attract attention from this group. Anyway, hope to hear and see more from you in days to come..
-
Welcome aboard. Hope you enjoy being here. My take on things: If you're already wearing p'hose and mary-janes, going to heels wouldn't be a shock to anyones system. If it makes you more comfortable try going gradually higher, not just jumping out one day in 5 inchers. This is from one who won't even go out at night in penny-loafers.

Welcome Skyler. Hope you feel comfortable enough to share your styles with us. You're in good company.

Can we see more of those kitten-heel t-straps? They have a sort of innocent but sexy look to them. Thanks.
-
She's GOOD! Not many women have that knack.
-
Steph, those are gorgeous mules. Would have been nice to also see a before picture. Thanks for sharing.

There used to be a Yahoo group and a couple of web sites devoted to amputees wearing heel(s?). Try googling amputee heels and see what comes up.

Altocalciphilia The allure of high heels (altocalciphilia) for some people may be in the apparent limitation of movement they cause. This attraction may have its origins from our primal preditorial instinct to seek out the lame and weakened. In any event high heeled shoes are very much part of the bondage ritual (Rossi,1997). The effects on posture when wearing high heels has been studied in detail and elevated shoes do appear to change the bodyÕs distribution of mass. The spine curves causing the breasts to jut forward, and buttocks to hike up and move backwards. Hence the legs are made to look longer and the calves and ankles appear shapelier as the arches heave from the shoes to capture a high arched appearance. Psychologist Lloyd-Elliott in his book, The Secrets of Attraction, described the length of the leg as a strong arousal signal. Thus the weakened gait widens the division of power between the genders. Men may be attracted because they feel superior or a driving need to protect the vulnerable. Sadomasochists maybe attracted to the perceived pain associated with wearing high-heeled shoes. High heels are also thought to place the female pelvis in a precoital position. Wether or not this is true, the idea by itself, may cause arousal. This term and definition comes from an interesting site. It is the school of podiatry at Curtin University. While it comes close to describing my relationship to shoes the heavy psychological stuff mostly doesn't apply. I just know I LOVE shoes and don't know or care why.

I couldn't find that one but I did find this:I had to post this as it just kinda hit my funny bone:
It says in the description "This trendy menswear pump...", and I'm thinking "It's about TIME!". I'm probably making more of this than it probably is, but I like the style, and the fact that they put "menswear" on it makes me really wanna get some.
Cheers!

Looks like a trend is starting and Payless is playing to their market.

I picked up a pair of these from Baker Shoes.
Wow. I'd love to see them on.

I typed 'tahari shoes' into my search engine and got a LOT of hits. Lord & Taylor has a large selection of Tahari shoes.

Hey JeffB, isn't that a hidden platform on that last pair of pumps you got from Payless?
