Hi everyone, my first thread on here so i thought i would start off with asking a question. I have what i would call a curse connected to shoes and heels but in some ways i would guess you guys on here would say, its a gift.. i wonder.

As i am male you maybe surprised to hear that my shoe size in UK is size 5 !! yes a 5:mecry: . Now this does present me with huge problems finding mens shoes. as mens really start in UK at 6. but of course if i was to wear ladies i have no problem. In fact i think i look quite good in them:clap: .

is size a problem to you?

Mr MP

Hi, Mr MP and welcome to HHplace. It sounds like you have the flip side of the situation most of we heelers face -- most of us have feet that are on the large side of the womens' shoe distribution. You are more toward the middle and most of us will consider you very lucky because you will be able to find almost anything you like in your size. Most of us face a continual let-down when we see something we like but the biggest size available is a size or two smaller than what we can wear. Definitely a problem. Have fun!

Another note concerning shoe sizing -- You will do yourself a favor if you take some care in fitting your heels well. Fit is important with any shoe but with heels it takes on added importance. If you expect to wear heels comfortably they absolutely must fit you well.

Masculine. There's no way on or around Planet Earth I could ever vaguely resemble a woman in even the slightest way. I really don't care to either so I do not even try. I just like the feel of the upswept sole against my foot.

Taller. . . .and it's quite a rush. It still feels like I'm getting away with something, like I'm violating a taboo. It's like striking a blow for freedom, although in a small way.

With all due respect, I did not get an answer as to why I am not allowed to post attachments here.

I mean that the boots are built like other shoes so why do they cost so much? Granted they have a steel shank in the sole and they have reinforced heels but that shoudn't make them cost more than ordinary shoes?

Why Why Why??????

Enquiring minds want to know?

They are still very much an item for a niche market. This means there is not all that much demand for them from the public at large so they are only made in small quantities. Because of this the per-unit cost is higher. This situation will probably not change.

Such decisions are always the result of significant distress (either financial or otherwise) and arise after a great deal of soul-searching and deliberation. I'm sure TLSB didn't close on a whim and that everyone associated with it would much rather be in business.

Let's face it -- Snoopy's a cat . . . the hunt is far more tantalizing than the catch!

Stunning as usual, Gina! May your recovery be swift and complete. Looks like Agent Snoopy (the cat?) found a treasure!

And chains! Don't forget the chains!

Hey Laurie -- It's great to hear from you again! We are sorry to hear about your tribulations but there is nothing wrong with 4-inchers. Please consider dropping by from time to time, you will always be a part of HHplace.

Wow, Gina -- if that's what "old" looks like then none of us have any reason to worry. Stunning!

. . . It's more like the guy who took too much Geratol and all the compass needles started pointing at him. You know, like: "Hey Ma, you need to use more oil in yer cooking 'cause my pipes are starting to get rusty.":silly:

Naah, he just had a magnetic personality

Oh, the horror!

The $300 price tag is a little high for a lot of us but there are shoes out there that cost a lot more -- without adjustable heels. There may well be a market for these, time will tell.

It's always a good idea to watch where one is stepping :-)

The only thing i saw in this video was an old dude hanging on some sort of rope. Certainly not Naomi Campbell in stiletto's.

I think somebody got their links mixed up. It is actually a video about Christian Loboutin and his trapeze. Apparently he is an amateur trapeze artist on the side -- (that's an interesting hobby!)

I like high heels very much.Sometimes I wear high heels in street and walk on them:I like it. Why we man cannot wear high heels as a normal things. Why high heels must be only a thing for women?

I think an increasing number of us are demonstrating that men can look stylish and still be men in a pair of heels. This is being demonstrated on a daily basis by men all over the world, as evidenced by the postings right here on HHplace as well as on other sites. As has been often discussed in other threads, there is nothing gender-specific about a shoe, nor are there any gender differences in the anatomical structure of the human foot. The "men-cannot-wear-heels" thing is simply a societal bias and like many other biases its time has elapsed.

Women have taken every thing from dress of man, we not and if a man wear a particular of women is strange (trans to tell true).What do you think?

Women have indeed absconded with every possible article of men's clothing, from baseball caps to combat boots and they figure out ways to look great in all of it. But true equality works both ways. If I may borrow the signature line from another member, "Why should girls have all the fun?"
