    The first pair of heels you wore

    in For Everybody

    Posted

    I started with a pair of my sisters shoes. They were fairly ordinary brown, block heeled lace-ups. Just ordinary schoolgirls' shoes really. Not very high (maybe 2 inches), but that was higher than anything I'd ever worn before. They felt amazing though & I used to wear them at every opportunity. I nearly got caught with them once. I got up early one morning, thinking I was the only one up & went to get them out of the airing cupboard in my bedroom for a quick secret try-on. My sister had stopped wearing them at this point & they had been shoved into the cupboard along with various other clothes & junk that was marked for the jumble sale. I found one, but the other was buried towards the back somewhere. As I was groping for it, my mother came out of her bedroom and saw me standing there with my pyjamas on and a single girls' shoe in my hand. I told her that it had just fallen out of the cupboard and I was putting it back. She believed me, I think! The entire cupboard contents was cleared out soon afterwards so it was goodbye to those shoes forever. :santa_hat:

    Who has bought some new shoes

    I went shopping last week and got these at Nine West. They were all on sale so I got a great bargain. I really like the boots. They are shiny but have a slight distressed look to them. .

    You're right - those boots are stunning.

    So how much did they actually cost you? Still in the £80-£100 area, i'd guess. Too rich for my high-heels budget! :santa_hat:

    Type of shoes you usually buy

    My answer is that since my wife doesn't like me in heels, it would be hard to justify high prices for something I will wear indoors only when she isn't around. I also have a family to think of before spending on "luxuries" :santa_hat:

    Same applies for myself.

    It's mostly Matalan & New Look for me at the moment. If money was no object, and if I had good 'wearing' opportunities, I would probably be in those department store Shoe Studios' most weekends.

    Questions about men in heels

    in For Everybody

    The international heel meet is this a meet primarily for members of this great group or is it a meet advertised to all into wearing heels? What was the number of attendees last year? And how many are expected this year?

    It's for all and sundry. Obviously, the preferred attendee is a guy with a strong heel-wearing interest. We don't want it usurped by dozens of stiletto-wearing girlies (they can wear their shoes 365 days of the year!)

    For data on last years' Meet, check out these threads:-

    http://www.hhplace.org/discuss/real_life_meetings/7796-world_heel_meet_2007_testimonials.html?highlight=2007

    This next group of questions is aimed at men who want to wear heels but still dress in normal male apparel. Where is this trend at; are we just a few who have decided to break the norm and go with what we like, or is this trend growing and gaining acceptance both among people and the fashion industry. If the trend is growing is it a fad or do you believe that some day men will wear heels as a part of everyday dress?

    Impossible to say. I personally think we are an elite group. There are probably fewer heel-wearing, non-TV/CD/TS men in the world than there are albino polar bears.

    I still don't see any guys on the street in heels - even modest 1 to 2" ones. It's still very much in the closet and I can't see that changing anytime soon, if ever.

    If the fashion and footwear industries actually pushed this trend what type of high heel shoe do men want marketed to them. Example if Florsheim Shoes took their current line of shoes and offered the line with regular heels or high heels say 2” to 4” would you be interested? Or do you want the footwear companies to make the women’s lines available in men’s sizes.

    Hi, What time do the shops stay open until in Oxford Street?

    Yeah, I was thinking the same thing.

    I was actually on the tube yesterday at 5:45ish and thought about getting out at Oxford Circus for a quick snoop around (I have a £50 Faith voucher burning a hole in my pocket for a start!).

    Decided not to as I thought everything would already be closed for the night.

    If there are late opening hours generally, it would be worth knowing for the next time.
