aussieheels1

i have to say i have never tried them on in a shop but would think that the experience would be very liberating.... i have ventured into shopping centres and shops in (relatively discreet) heels before and have enjoyed the experience, but I think trying on the shoes may be drawing more attention than i'm ready for at this stage... as everyone have stated, i know that the sales people will be helpful (afterall, the customer is always right).... and people in general may probably notice but won't comment (due to human nature).... so there's no real issue with trying them on except for my comfort level of doing so... i may do it one day but defninite not at the moment....

how i wish those times are here again..... cause i missed it the first time round

i actually think it is quite comfortable driving in really high heels.... the heels give a good privot between the gas and brakes ....

any other aussies in the forum??

johnie... i agree with you mate..... it is most definitely true..... the more people wear it out, the more socially acceptable it is.... but it's just like anything... it's always hard to be the first at anything..... again, i would love to be comfortable wearing heels out in public during the day... (in fact i've done it a few times and i think it will happen more and more - i hope so anyway)... i know it's only shoes but i take my shoes seriously :-)

i think it's a hard call..... i tend to agree with thighbootguy... i think society haven't moved on that much, but it is more that I (you/us/whoever) are getting more confident and comfortable with the situation..... i think if you ask someone who is just starting out discovering their interest in heels, they would think society is totally intolerable as compared to some of us who have years and years to contemplate and be comfortable of it all.... me personally is still not fully comfortable with how the society view me in heels... but my personally attitude have definitely changed from only wearing heels hiding in my room to the rare occasion of late night petrol run at in tight jeans and 5 inch heels..... i wish it is completely socially acceptable and i can be in heels whenever i want but unfortunately i'm not personally comfortable with this yet (with friends, family and professional views thrown in).... it's been a while since I've been on the forums but it's great to be back

i think i agree with Pam..... you don't have to like something but it's the option/choice of being able to do/wear it without prejudice being the important thing.... i suppose the best comparison is that all of us share the love of wearing heels, i think we all would like the day when we have the option to wear whatever footwear we please without prejudice and fear (apologies to all those who are past this stage and wear heels openly in public, but i think most of us are still not this advance in out street heeling development)

love the shoes..... they look stunning.....

i know but i guess i can only hope and dream......

men in skirt and various other feminine-ish clothing.... if only it is not only for the shock and awe of the catwalk and become everyday wear for men....

ice2003.... congrats on the outing.... we have to keep the Aussie Men Wearing Heels movement going. I too often wear heeled boots to get petrol late at night and it sure feels great to walk around in heels in public.....

BTW - my computer crashed and had to format and have lost my password for my aussieheels login and thus have created a second login.... if anyone know how i can use my old login back would be great....

thank you for all your advice but unfortunately i've chickened out so far to raise the issue again..... it's getting almost back to normal (as we knew it before I told her) and i'm worry that the window to open up discussion is narrowing.... i'll definitely have another chat about it this weekend i think her feeling on the matter at the moment is that as long as i don't turn into a full time 24/7 heels wearer/cross dresser she would be fine..... i've got a feeling that she prefer me to enjoy my hobby my myself rather than sharing the enjoyment with me (i guess it would be hard to enjoy if it is something she isn't comfortable with)... which is a shame cause i really wanted to share all my experiences with her....
