Well, I can't say anything about shipping stuff to the U.S. but I didn't have problems back in 2007 when I ordered a pair from them in Germany. Well, it took them a while because the shoes were made to order but after their predicted 8 weeks I finally got the package. And the shoes are of good quality.
Thanks,

You might wanna check with them. Hopefully they carry shoes in your size. Bad luck for me, their stuff's too small, though.

When I went to see China a couple years ago I also noticed lots of female bikers wore ridiculously tall heels riding their bikes... Quite an uncommon sight for european eyes... Thanks, Mike

... hehe, yes, a social thing... indeed.

@Heels2U: may I ask where you got the boots from you wore to the Tai restaurant? And: It doesn't always have to be for hookers that start a conversation towards men... Just my 2c... Thanks, -Mike

Too bad they aren't available in a US Ladies 13 - or have I just overlooked the respective offer? Thanks, -Mike

Yes, and this was the main driver for me, to have an expert checking on whether or not I'm walking properly in high heels. It's been awesome how the fact that I'm male was not a point at all throughout the entire class. It was just about shoes. Wish it would be always like that. Again: So cool! Thanks, -Mike

The class I attented was in Germany... Don't know if something like this is offered in the U.S. in South Carolina. Thanks, Mike

Folks,
originally I posted my experiences on taking a training class in high heel walking in the 'for the guys' section. As one of the members suggested I'll add another thread here in order to catch more comments. Maybe the girls in here think of all this totally different? Well, go ahead and feel free to post your opinions here...
Thanks,

Hi Larry, with "prepared environment" I was rather referring to the folks like those in the class. They all knew why we were there. And, for my part, I tried to radiate honesty, otherwise you'll end up being just another freak. From this experience, however, I gained a lot of confidence and I feel I don't care what others might think less and less each day. But it's still small steps. It needs to be done carefully. Don't wanna shock the people I live and work with. Like I said, I'm wearing my 4" wedge ankle boots to the office on a daily base, more or less only halfway covered by longer, sligthly flared pants. So far I didn't get any reaction although I'm pretty sure it's been noticed... Thanks, Mike

It was a very friendly atmosphere and the trainer did a very professional job. What I have learnt? Live your passion and tell 'them' you mean it. Then you'll be accepted. But the environment has to be prepared otherwise they react funny cause they don't know how to deal with it. In that class, however, there was a lot of acceptance... ;o) I didn't know - at least I can't tell you - how but somehow it got my 'thing for shoes' across and that I'm honest with it.
Thanks,

Hi!
Okay, it's this site: WalkOnHeelz. It's generally in German, don't know if an international (English?) version exists. The course was held on one day, comprised 3 parts, 90 minutes each. It takes place once or twice a month on locations all across Germany. -- Well, it's mostly about exercising. There are just a few basics that is gone over and over again. By the time the course is over you know where you have to pay attention to, like warming up before exercising, keeping the balance (watch your posture), strengthen your muscles, pay attention to well-fitting shoes, keep changing between high heels and flat shoes, always keep all your toes flat on the ground while exercising 'going tip-toe'... Sort of this. What we did was an exaggeration of what you would encounter when wearing your 'regular' high heeled shoes. Always practice in a way that is more challenging compared to your daily shoe wear. The trainer watches you closely how you walk and how your walk improves over the duration of the course. And then it's all up to you to remember this and practice on a daily base. -- But the most important thing to me was just to be there.

Hi folks, here's my little story... Well, I wouldn't consider it an outing as I'm out and about and to the office on moderate (2") heels (from the guys' shelf) or more 'serious' heel heights (4" wedges from the girls' section) for quite some time already. But usually I tend to produce a look that kinda blends in rather than to stand out... with respect to the shoes. ;o) Anyway, in fall 2012 I came across a website where they offered lessons on how to walk properly in high heels. I did a little reasearch and found they usually provide training sessions across the country to all 'regular' people who are interested in the matter on one hand and, for example, to such people as (male) actors (impersonating females) on the other hand. All the references I found made me sure I wasn't going to be framed by fraudulent people. Hm. Hmmmm. Interesting, indeed. Though I still wasn't quite sure whether or not to take this chance.
)
It wasn't until early May 2013 when I finally convinced myself and got around to sign up for a training-day with them.
Weeks passed rather slowly after that. But finally the day came.
I arrived. First one to attend. Later on it turned out to be a group of 10 or 13 with me being the only male person in the room. The cute trainer, maybe 5'4", a former ballet dancer, held the lesson. All that time she was wearing shoes with an 'effective' heel height of 5.5..6" in her size EU35 ('effective' means: She also sported e. g. 7.5" heels with 2" platforms which still results in 5.5" heels that her feet had to cope with.). Great. Anyway, after an initial check which gladly I didn't fail - whether or not one was basically able to 'use' high heeled shoes - it all began. No more excuses, no hiding of the shoes anymore, I had to do my strutting in front of the crowd (all nice looking Ladies). Clearly visible 5.5" wedges, 0.8" platform (or something like that, measurements taken with a regular ruler showed it's been 12.5cm, effectively) I was walking on. Much to my surprise I wasn't looked at like "... what's this GUY doing in here? ...". So I exercised along as everybody else did. The training concluded with a short walk outside... 8o()! OMG, '... when was I to be seen on Youtube? ...', I thought to myself. But everything went along smoothly. No funny looks, no funny comments; during the training they even inquired where my ankle boots were from... Anyway, I was having the time of my life... - When we parted two of the Ladies even let me know how surprised they were how boldly and naturally I wore my high heeled shoes. - What a day!
Bottom line, I'm so glad I did this. It was such a relief, the feeling, not having to hide this. Even if it was for only a couple of hours. Just in the days before the training I thought the others would probably think I was possibly doing this just to 'spy' on the Ladies in the class. Wasted thoughts. I was there because of a common interest.
So cool!
Alright,
if any of the girls / women who read along were with me on that course and remembers that day in May -- well, now you know who's the one behind Mickey S. ;o)
Thanks,

... well, not recently, but here's what I did roughly four years ago: For one out of all my hobbies I'm a band's technician / audio guy. One night we had a gig and when we had put all the stuff in place (backline, PA etc.) and got everything set up nicely I just changed my footwear from flats into 4" heel ankle boots and spent the entire evening in them doing my mixing job and kept everything running smoothly. Well, nobody actually cared although it could be clearly seen what I wore... CU! - Mike

Hang on guys, I was able to save the stream, partially at least. I'll work on a solution to just provide the interesting part. CU! -Mike

Hi!
Lately, on ARTE's (a european kinda cultural television channel) online video library I discovered this contribution (it aired yesterday at around noon). At about 12:00 min runtime (more or less, can't tell, as they don't feature a 'counter') in the video there they have (actually the second part of that show) a 2..3 minutes special on high heels worn to a fashion show in Paris. Interesting! ;o)
The audio track is basically French with a German dubbing in the foreground. But the Clip is worth watching though even if you don't understand a word! -- Anyway, if you're interested you need to hurry 'cause they have it up for only six more days.
Actually, the host of this show looks damn gorgeous as well...

Yeah, I guess if she would be around like this for an everyday setting, looking a little 'androgyne' like this, and if 'they' knew she was a girl noone would actually complain. But if a guy just wore heels or had his nails done... OMG! ... you know. ;o)I noticed that this picture : ... is actually of a woman.

Pernilla, those shoes are awesome. If you master them one fine day envious looks are guaranteed! CU! -Mike

mccar7hy, where did you found these offers? On the net or a local store? Anyway, I'd vote for the non-platform style. CU! -Mike

Hi! Today I spotted a girl at the company that made me suspicious because of her gait . I'd seen her once before 'strutting' down the hallway. The thing is she's actually of pretty regular stature but her feet looked awesome small. She also wears 'regular cut' pants - in contrast to the long-flared ones girls use nowadays along with pointy toed shoes - where the bottom end almost reaches from the heel to the toe. To have such (apparently) small feet a girl must either be very petite or wearing extremely tall heels. Since she's built quite 'regularily' - as I said earlier - I think the latter one is the case. She also looks like someone who knows how to use make up and all those feminine 'things' so I suppose she's into high heels as well. Saying that she might be experienced in this subject but looking at her way of walking - she also took very small steps - suggests that the heels she wore / wears are quite tall as it seems she is almost past the point at which the heels start to become uncomfortably high. Nevertheless, her overall appearance is quite yummy and the tall-heeled shoes she obviously wears adds to the look substantially. -- I don't know how to describe this in a better way but if you heels-interested gals 'n' guys could have a look you would see my point. I'd really be interested what type of shoes she actually wears and how tall the heels are with respect to the shoe size she requires. But I think - unless she wears a skirt - the only thing that's left would be guessing. ;o) So my guess is she's a size EU38 in 5.5" ~ 6" heels, 5.5" at least. CU! -Mike

I also got those cowboy boots in a calf-high version. But the one in the picture are way easier to get on and off.
The boots from the avatar? They're from Extravaganza. Click 'Enter HTML' or 'Enter Flash', then 'Bootwear' and then forward to page #3 in that section.
Have fun!

I wear my 4" wedges to the office all day nowadays. No one's said a word yet although I'm pretty sure some of them have already noticed. Anyway, good job, Heels2u!
Thanks,
