It really upsets me that I can not remember how I discovered HHP....I'm guessing it was some sort of google search though....

Contentment is not really a natural state for me, I’m frequently looking for the next thing lol.  But frustration is not pleasant either, and I echo others here who have suggested that you find some middle ground to get more heeling time.  My wife is very opposed to me wearing “women’s shoes” but she is ok with cowboy boots with 3.5” Cuban heels, so that is what I wear most of the time.  I save the slimmer heels for business trips away from home.  

I can relate to all of the above. Heels at work are a no-go. Wife isn't thrilled with my heels around the house, but she ignores it. I can get away with some pretty tall chunky heeled boots with jeans over when we head out as long as we are not around hers or my co-workers. Business trips seem to getting to be few lately. I have a few years to retirement, but I;m not sure this will be an advantage.

Not sure what the future brings - - - -

Done did - - but I'm not 60 yet - - - but close !!

I hope that I am not the only person on here that envisions a day when we can have a national convention for this organization (site). I think that would be a great way to promote the organization, showcase what we are about and gain greater visibility. We might even be able to garner some attention from companies that produce heels, helping them to see that there is a viable market out there for heels for men. Plus I think it would be a blast to see such a gathering of men and women wearing heels and those that support this fashion trend.

Let me know what you think about something like this. I'd like to see what others think about it. I certainly hope that I am not the only one to have this dream!

Ciao!

Interesting idea - - but I'm gonna watch from the sideline and not get involved in planning etc. I'll see where the location is and go from there. Whenever I plan that far ahead, my schedule changes 10 minutes ago. 24 hours from now I could be in your neck of the woods - - 

Welcome to Columbus - - a nice place to shop for heels too!!

 - - In keeping it off track, I don't worry too much about the rain - - It's the snow, mud, and all the other "crap" you run accross out here in the sticks.

When you walk out of the local grocery store and have to walk between the Amish Buggies to get to your car - -- - Need I say more !!

kinda like the Crunch pair - - 

Interesting coat - - I could wear that , but it better be easily wash as it would get dirty just way to fast out here in the stick. - It's one of a the reasons I don't have much in light colors in anything I wear.

Just sayin - -

I believe that he is.  Either that or someone is posting his pictures under a identity with  “New Zealand”. In his user name.

It shows Texas and Germany at the top of his page.

Tech created another separate site for this category - - - and damned if I can remember the link, but it was regarding leg-wear - - -

If you haven't try them I would recommend leggings and jeggings.

Love them. Fantastic for running around the house. We don't see many runners, so I haven't noticed any wearing them. We haven't seen any so called cold weather yet this year, but I usually wear a crappy pair under the work jeans if I'm out blowing snow etc.

Now if it says Under Armour, and comes in camo, then you'll get guys to wear them.

Go to one of those kiosks in the mall that sell chain by the inch.

I thought those places went out of business - - Haven't seen one in years !!

Not sure if that is a chain of stores like Plato's Closet though.

It's a chain.

I've always had good service at DSW, and I've never been treated badly. Even when I was with Bluejay, I was treated well! HA HA HA!

Agreed Steve - The DSW near you that recently expanded has always been good.

I have those boots!!!!!!!!!  I also have the same camo platform pumps.   The tips on the heels wear out very easily !ar

This year, DSW is carrying a Jessica Simpson camo heels. I know they go up to a size 10 (I bought a pair) and are rather comfortable. Still breaking them in, but sometime soon, when I'm out of town, I may venture out in them.

I've heard this, or read it before too somewhere. A number of years ago I confess but the principle was just that, about the economy and heel height fluctuations.

It's been correlated to heel height and skirt hem lines as well. Thing is, I'm starting to think that trend may not occur in the next economic cycles. Current U.S. view of the economy are split in the middle - - Some say it's terrible, others see it as fantastic. Regardless of the economic / political views, it's pretty evident that heel heights are down, if not completely gone. The general public isn't buying them.

In my little corner of the world, I probably have and wear the highest heeled boots in town, and I don't broadcast it other than the sound of them. I rarely go over 3" chunky heels locally with jeans over them.

Hmmmmm....  To bad he had such a negative experience.  I have tried on gals shoes in the store many times, usually I am ignored and the few times I have been noticed I get neutral or positive comments.  I would have mentioned something to the manager as well.  Don't let this gentleman's experience dissuade you.  

And yes, I do like his choice of shoes, hey look nice, but that style would not be for me.  

Have fun all....   sf

I was at a Payless and got the "Wrong Section " comments - - -one of the reasons I wasn't to upset with their closing.

English is a mongrel tongue and all the better for it.

 - - Now add Hillbilly, Redneck and Southern Drawl - - Me thinks ya might get a wee bit unsorted !!

I rarely see either - and the selections at the local thrift stores show it. The best time to buy heels and mini's is right after Proms around here. Pumps are best found after June weddings.

Considering my location, that's the best it gets.

Both eBay purchases ??

I kinda like the gray ones. Would love to find something like that at a retail establishment - - - not likely near me.
