Hi, Just thought I would post this cuz I thought it was very cool. I wear heels to work all the time and skirts now also (been some very rocky roads but I wish not to dwell on that) so folks are very used to what I wear now. Today I have on a long tan/brown skirt with my 4" brown high heel clogs. There were about 5 of us outside on break in the smoking area at the picnic table. One of our male co-workers was looking at my clogs and suddenly said hey Frankie what size shoe do you wear? I said 10 women's and he responded he wore a 9 1/2 and knew this because his wife and him have the same size feet So then he says let me try one of those on! And I said sure and kicked off my right shoe. He put it on and was kind of unsteady and I said well you really need to have them both on. So I kicked off the other one and slid it to him and held my nyloned feet off the ground so I didn't get a run in my stockings. So he puts on the other one and walked around in them for a min (not to bad either). They fit him very well and looked great I told him so. So not being finished there he proceeds to ask a female co-worker who was wearing soft traditional low clogs if he could try her shoes on. He did but hers were a bit small, I told him they would fit fine if he wore nylons lol. All in all it was a very fun break time this morning and nice to see another guy confident enough in himself to walk around in my heels for a bit... very nice I thought maybe I'll pass on some of my older regular clogs to him. Frankie

Jimc - I like the top pair best , nice look. I bet they would look great with a nice suede or leather coat

Yes spring is comming (not soon enough) , I agree with Bubba136 , Most of the stores I have been in are pretty much ready for spring , lots of good styles out there and things seem to be selling fast ,

Jeffb - Those are nice shoes , I like the green ones , I have been eyeing these at payless myself.

I love the green , I don't have anything to go with them, but may get them anyway , I will get one color for sure.

I vote for the third pair! but if you decide not to get the slides , then I would go with the second pair , the color is great!

I have seen this before also , I was in retail management some time ago (Thank God I am not anymore) and saw this happen all the time. Book vendors are famous for this , when they issue a credit for books that do not sell , they simply tear the covers off and throw the rest away. millions of coverless books thrown in the trash. In other instances we would have clothing that for whatever reason was deemed no longer sellable, It might have a defect , maybe it was stained , or it was marked down to nothing , missing 2'nd part in two piece set , I pushed to have these donated and was told that people would try and return them or exchange them , that it was more of a pain. In the end we still threw out most clothing , however I was able to give away things like socks and underwear that had no package. I saw an entire snowblower get thrown away and many other bizzare situations. This brings in a deeper thought about our world , I have had disscusions with my father in law about how it is a shame our world is a throw away socity , things are just not made to last , throw it away , make more , it didn't sell? no problem , throw it away , we'll make more. In a perfect world every pair of those shoes would have gone to needy folks. Sitting here thinking about it , I remember one of my first jobs , making dounuts at a supermarket , we threw away tons of food everyday , this was our "shrink" , we could never even give it away to homeless shelters becuase of liability reasons etc .... anyway ... my thoughts on it ...

I plan to pick them up tommorro , today I went to burlington and they have already sold out on black slides like the one in my avatar , darn it all! I tried to get tan clogs like the black ones I have above and they were also sold out (my size) , struck out , I am nervous that Target will be sold out , if they are at least I can purchase them online!

Call me crazy, but I couldn't resist the temptation, so I ordered these boots from How Cool:

At only $63.00 before shipping, the price was certainly right. Even though I have no idea where I would wear these boots, I just decided I had to have a pair. I'll figure out the logistics after I get my hands on 'em!

Jeff

I have one word for you ............. I love the look!

Wow, I think I've found my spiritual home here. I'm so pleased to join you all.

Hi priscilla , welcome ... I am new also , only being here since november. Everyone here has been great so have fun!

On the way out of the resterant at the end of the evening that lady asked me if she could touch my boots

Shafted ,

What a great time! Thats awsome! With all the styles I wear I have never tried boots like that (don't know if I could) , My hats off to you.

Like your experiance with the touching , I too have had this , it seems some woman love to touch the shoes? I don't know what it's all about but hey it good with me

kiltsrgr8, you shoes are incredible!!! Your courage is too!! I love the styles you wear and wish I could pull it off like you. Who knows, maybe someday I will too....

I agree with docs41, they are very nice! They do look like a nice summer type shoe.

Been meaning to ask kiltsrgr8, do you own kilts too? I have my original family tartan kilt I bought in Scotland while stationed there in 1990-1992. I also have a khaki utilikilt. I have wore 2 1/2" heeled work boots with the utilikilt, and it looks really good. Been trying to find a pair of the "Logger" style knee high boot with a 3 to 4 inch heel, but will most lkely have to have them custom made...

tightlevisandhhboots

Thank You docs41 .... I hope you do! and you know I love that sassy dr scholl , you can't go wrong with those!

tightlevisandhhbots ... Thanks for the compliment! yes I own kilts , Only 3 right now I have mostly sarongs. I own 1 utilikilt in black (original when they first started with zip up fly in front) one red and black and one green and black traditional wool style.

my favorite is the utilikilt , I have been looking at the cameo one for some time now , I hope to get it soon.

with your boots the khaki utilikilt most look smashing!

I thought I would tell everyone about my vist today to the dentist. Please everyone tell me If I am posting to much , I still feel strange and don't know if I am posting right or not , also I have an obsesive type personality and don't want to "over kill" my experiances here ... anyway I went to the dentist today with my son , we both had an Appt. Interestingly in complete opposit to my post above about going to lunch with my wife , there was not one glimmer of a reaction there. I wore the same black clogs. Nobody batted an eye , nobody seemed to even take notice , pretty funny , it just goes to show , you never know ...

No, being unpracticed in walking in high heels, I'm slowly learning to walk in my 2 1/2-inch slings. I can barely stand, much less walk, wearing those

near-five inch heels!

BTW, my girlfriend understood immediately that your name is phonetic for "kilts are great." I translated it as "kilts rodger8!" Sorry.

Rainbow

No problemo ......I came up with the name after I bought my utilikilt

Thanks for the answer .... I was curious , I have no problem walking in 5" if it is a more stable type , I dunno how well I would do on something like that myself , with no support really around the ankles.

Very nice. I like that style. Are they stable to walk on for long periods of time? White happens to by my favorite for sandals or slides.

Good idea , I don't blame you at all for filtering them. Thanks for the info on the shoes ... I will be checking it out ....

Hmm.

With spring coming up, they're likely to put out plenty of sandals.

In the --right-- style, I can pull of an 11.

The Payless stores here go up to a size 13, the shoes in my avatar are from there. I check weekly for new styles. The salesgirl at one store says I need to hurry up and buy something, I tell her "Sandals need to hurry up and come back in season"

Thats cool you check every week , I do the same , sometimes more , sometimes less ... If I don't I wont find my size ......pluss I can't help myself it's like a high

Thats great that the sales girl gets on like that with you!, in all my shoe buying and travels I've only ever had one sales girl blatently tell me I should buy a pair ... Boy was she ever cute .......

Danielle I just wanted to tell you that those shoes are very sexy and you look GREAT in them. Nice pics ...love the sandles ...

Kiltsrgr8:-)

Dig those crazy work-heels. That's the cats meow.

Thank You very much! it is nice of you to compliment them!

What size does Target usually go up to?

I'd like to browse around in there but I want to do it knowing that they carry at least a 12, otherwise I'd be looking for nothing.

They usualy only go to 11 I think , Walmart carries a limmited size 12 as does payless , I will double check for you and let you know if I see size 12

Hi, fellow heel-lovers,

I have created a website of my photos of me wearing various kinds of high heels. Kindly drop in and say hello by signing my Guestbook.

Thanks.

Hey rainbow ... I signed your guest book but it didn't show up , oh well ... I like your shoes , they are nice, I like the sandles the best and the blue pumps .. I need to look for a blue pair like that!

How did you get that burst on your post?

Rainbow

Heelman ... this is for you ...

Rainbow ... your absolutly right ..... he should get firworks .......

Congrats!!!!!!!!!!!!! and many more heeled days to you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Kilts are great,

where did you buy them? Is there a chance for me to get them in an US female size 13? These clogs appear to me as the optimal male footwear on the street in the next summer The heels not too narrow and not too high, they should be mine too - even if they were my 26th pair ...

nice greetings

micha

Still a comment to your story. One year ago I dared the first time to present me to my family on high heels. The reactions were a mixture of "How can you walk on such high heels! ", "Why do you like to wear womens shoes?! :x " and "Why shouldn't he do it? At least he can walk on his heels! "

Hey Micha ,

I bought these at Burlington Coat factory here. These must be an import for us , I only ever see them in size 10 and down. I looked online for you and could not find even the manufacture , the name brand is Splash. If they had them at burlington in your size I would have been happy to arrange to get them for you.

I know what you mean on 26th pair , I am afraid to count mine ...I don't want to know ...

I like your comments on your first wearing heels with your family, my immidiate family has always known since I was a child so I never had that , however my inlaws was not the same , I started with 3" clogs and original dr scholls to work my way up with them... about the same type comments about the clogs from my inlaws ...

This seemed like the right thread to post this ,

Today I went to Chilis for lunch with my wife , kids and father and mother in law. i wore my new 4" clogs ... the ones below

While I did not get any direct comments from anyone , the reactions were higher than usual. These clogs make a HUGE sound when walking in them.

As we were walking in the door , the girl who greats everyone was taking a lot of notice , so much so that my wife leaned over and wispered .. she's checking out your shoes ...

One lady who was in a booth next to us seemed very facinated and kept staring at my shoes and nails (my acrilics). I could tell she was dying to ask me but dared not. Our waitress was fun and took notice as well but said nothing.

The girls working the floor kept sneaking glances the whole time ... They all seemed facinated .. like wait a min ... he is with his whole faimly ????? can we trust our eyes?

Interestingly enough one guy there (bus boy) kept sneaking glances ... but they seemed to be glances of jelousy .. I have seen this before ... some guys don't notice , some do and shrug .. some look with longing like they wish they could also ... I think that was the look here .. I could be wrong but he sure looked plenty of times ...

All in all a great lunch btw and hopfully gained some ground for men in heels.

I don't usualy post simple events like this , and feel they don't really warrent posting , but with so many looks today I thought it should be noted.

Do I feel feminine when I wear them? No, it's more like a boost in confidence, and a unique personal style. I peronally have looked at my love of heels and nails and wondered why.

I feel the same , as most people think my goal when I wear heels and my acrilic nails is look like a women , that simply is not the case , I just love these things! They don't make me feel like a girl , just like I am complete or something , but I do feel very alone in my thought as the only people I know who have these desires are out there in cyber land.

And as you say , I have often wondered why , but as for myself I have given up trying to "figure" it out , as I don't think I ever will and just resolve myself to have fun with it.

Kiltsrgr8: I'm curious, inasmuch as you freely wear what you want at work, does that mean you outside-of-work choices for footwear are the same? That is, when you're shopping, out for entertatinment, with your wife, your children, do you wear the same as you do at work? Does your family accecpt your footwear choices the same as your fellow employees?

Yes , I wear them everywhere , except certain circumstances , Like my sons baseball games , and at school functions , I wear closed toe , like high heel clogs etc

But in reality it does depend on what I am doing , when I shop sometimes I just wear clogs , interestingly enough I am paranoid enough not to wear a shoe I bought at that particular store , to that store when I shop... duno why really , just maybe I am strange

And also when I get my nails done , I wear a clog type also
