Welcome to the board. What is your photobucket password?

I got a pair of those, but bought them off eBay. They are very comfortable and made well. My gf loves to wear mine all them time.

Being in North America, it's not work looking at the eBays in Europe because the shipping would be expensive with some sellers (from what I've seen...correct me if i'm wrong). I normally use eBay Canada. I don't notice that much difference from the selection to that of the regular .com eBay. Only thing good abuot the Canada one is it shows you the price in your currency.

That's the way to do it! Any pics of those shoes or any others you have?

WOW! I like! And it's not even my style..lol

I've seen a girl wear a pair like that in black. She was dressed up business-woman like, in her early 20s. Trés Chic!

Great to welcome both of the new guys to the board. To NL: There is no right answer on how to approach this. Personally, now being almost 22, I came out to friends first, then to parents. Mom basically says do what you want, but she doesn't need to know about it...but she borrows a pair of 2 from time to time. It seems you want something somewhat normal for public. I'm going to assume like a chunky heel ankle boot. Maybe go out with a friend and get a pair. If you really want to show your mom, show her the really cool pair of boots you got today. BUT, only do this if she is totally open minded. If you have any more concerns, just ask us on here or you can even private message or e-mail me. Cheers! CB17

Great story! I've had several ladies borrow shoes off of me and wore them out with me. It's kinda fun when people comment them on their nice shoes. I sure have some nice taste..haha.

He sure pulls it off pretty well!!! Those pump trucks are hard to operate even in running shoes...lol

The next time someone says to you, "Are those guy's shoes?", reply with a yes. I've done it. They don't know what to say after that.

Nice choices, Heel-D.

Excuse me, women do not have to wear heels. No one is putting a gun to their head. You can look even on the Hollywood red carpet and see several elegant ladies wearing flats or kitten heels.

Actually, I forgot about my new flats!

I got these on clearence for $8.00 at Zellers. I have them in black. The buckle on the pair I have is a little more subtle (no rhinestones/glitter), plus my footbed doesn't have hearts on them.

I've wore them once so far because the weather in Windsor changes every 5 minutes (yaaa Great Lakes! lol). My gf has similar pairs so it's kinda cool when we match. They are super comfortable to wear. Can't wait to wear them at school.

Do you wear those out????

Ya, Heel-D, you're right about that! You sure pull off the look good, Zero. Do you wear any other styles than those boots?

Nice gallery, kinheels....it has a really nice mixture of shoes you can wear on all occasions...keep it up.

Both guys - great boots and loafers. They look good! I hope your partners support you both. I think after you wear them out once with them and they realize its ok, they will be more open.

There's 2 reasons for this: 1) It's classic supply and demand economics. Those large sizes for trendy shoes are hard to find. Therefore, people will spend a large sum to get them. I've noticed this with a lot of payless shoes on ebay. 2) People don't bother looking at either the store which sells the shoe or even the ebay store of the seller. Many of times I've found stuff on the general auctions, then looked at the store to see that it is cheap due to the fact people keep bidding and bidding on the auction. Just some food for thought.

I recommend a pair of jeans with a superflare. They will sit nice over that type of sandal and look trendy.

I looked at the message boards on the American Idol website. There were several ones about Zach. These two were the best. They also have some support for us.

I couldn't see the pics!

You should of offered him to try them on!

Ya I've seen those before. It is also a bold step for Dior to market them as heels, and not as "shoes". Definately a thumbs up for our team.

On a side note, www.internationalmale.com has some heel styles for men also.

heelsrus... Who do you root for? My gf cringed when she bought the tickets since she is a Detroit fan. The Leafs were playing the Penguins - first visit of Sidney Crosby to the ACC. It was a good time. The floors in the ACC were very slippery for the both of us, but we managed!

That's awesome. Encouragement always helps with it comes from your gf.
