That's a great look in the photo. Many of us couldn't make it work but you really can. It's the sort of image that says "a guy can look really good in heels".
Totally agree with at9. Great look you have there!!!
-
I couldn't agree more! Busy places, be they malls, downtown areas or large stores is definitely way to go. While that can be awfully intimidating to the newbie, it's inherently a better method since 99.9999 percent of the populace are too wrapped up in their own affairs to notice or care about a man wearing high heels, not to mention a SAFER method than slinking around in the dark where you not only run the risk of being noticed (say by a passing police cruiser), but the possibility of being jumped by a thug is a constant danger.
JeffB, you hits the spot

Actually, most of those ideas are exactly the way not to do it!
The best way is to go into a very busy place. You will NOT be noticed in a busy place. I know this freaks most people out but if you were scurrying about in the dark and someone did notice, then you are about 1000% more likely to be picked on.
For the very first few outtings, go somewhere late at night for a totter around which is quiet and safe. You may see someone on the other side of the road but they are unlikely to notice your heels, other than maybe the noise they make on the pavement. Just being outside wearing heels can be enough to boost your confidence and give you an unbelievable buzz!!!
After that, once you want to go out in the day time, Dr. Shoe is spot on. It's so much easier to walk from one end of Oxford Street to the other when it's crowded at 3pm on a Saturday afternoon and not get noticed than it is to do your weekly shopping at the supermarket.
By the way, whenever I take a trip up to London, the nerve-wracking part of the journey is the walk from my car to the underground station. This is because it's a quite suburban area and the locals probably aren't as used to see a guy in 4" stilettoes as the punters in Covent Garden, Camden Town or Soho are.

Shopping for necessity items can get to be a drag. Shopping for fun things such as, say, high heels, can be a blast!
Surely high heels are a necessity?!!!

I personly like the peep toe for men or women. It is sexy as you can see with my pic. showing toes is hot. But be carful some peep toe can be hard on the old big toe, untill it broken in. Have a good day. :-)
I like the shoes in your pic

I love shopping with or without MrsF, spend a lot of time looking at shoes and clothing mainly girls stuff. Have no issue going into shops exclusively catering for female clothing and shoes as that's what I'm after most of the time.
Same goes for me. In fact, there are times when I prefer being on my own as I find it easier to relax with the assistants and other customers in the shops. A few months ago I was trying some heels in New Look and I spotted a lady, mid to late 20s I'd say who was trying on pairs of fairly glam stilettos. She kept going back to this one pair which I reckon she liked but maybe didn't dare wear. You know how it is? You think you won't measure up to the look or you just ain't brave enough. So I went over to her while she stood looking longingly at her feet while she had the shoes on. I asked her if they were for a wedding and she said yes. So then I said I thought she looked really good in them and thought she should buy them. I so wanted to stay and help her but thought that might completely freak her out so after that short, sincere compliment, to which she gave a lovely big smile, I left. Anything more than that might be a bit creepy for her.
By the way, a girl who I worked with years ago when we were both in our early 20s used to go shopping together. We were friends, no more, but she said it's was always best to go clothes shopping with someone of the opposite sex other that your partner as more often than not they'd dress you what they wanted you to wear, not what you'd look good in, which aren't always the same thing.

Shoes with small peep toes just don't do it for me and I'm not keen on them for my lady either. If the shoe shows three toes or more, then great. But anything less looks like the shoe has has the point of the toe chopped off. I think think this style is mainly from the 1940s? On the other hand, I have quite a few stiletto strappy sandals which I love and they show all toes. I also have open toe court shoes and slingbacks with totally cut away sides which for me are an absolute "wow!!" I think this is because they show so much of the foot, which for me can be as sexy as any part of the human anatomy

Mrs F had a wonderful outfit on Christmas Day, a tight fitting black dress over a pair of silky leggings and a pair of strappy black shoes she kept on from 9 in the morning till midnight. I just had to take a picture of the shoes to show you all what my eyes were focused on for most of the day.

We have had a new camera for Xmas so hopefully we can sort some out soon x
Thanx in advance

I was told that these wouldnt look good with jeans, whats your opinion?
Very nice dressy shoes and no, they won't go with jeans. Try a skirt or dress instead
-
Very hot!!!

I'd been secretly wearing high heels for years, but my first move towards unleashing my love for high heels to my SO and also public heeling was wearing something very similar to these. Tomorrow I'll be shopping, tottering around in boots with a 4" stiletto.
-
Next time wear a pair of ankle boots that are less obviously women's shoes. I've done this many times and never had any problems or adverse comments. In fact, I am sure that the only person that knew that I was even wearing high heels was my wife. And, I know she wouldn't say anything.
They're only women's shoes when worn by a woman

Please don't take this the wrong way - but according to my husband at least, the 'slapping' sound is a very 'girly' sound and is really associated with women in high heels, not guys. Of course, mules are the most feminine of all high heels styles.
Not that guys aren't entititled to wear mules, far from it, and we're both staunch supporters of men in high heels - but - it is a VERY 'girly' noise.
I simply adore mules, they are my favourite style of high heel. They are so feminine, and show off my feet in the best possible way.
My husband is the 'connoisseur' of the sounds they make however. He loves the 'click clack' of the stiletto tip on the pavement or hard floors - and the slapping sound of my heel as I walk. I always have steel tips put on my heels for better wear, however, the 'clickety clacking' is that much more obvious as a result.
Personally, I don't really notice it most of the time - although I DO notice the looks I get if I walk around the supermarket in a pair of sexy 5" mules with hard tips!
My dear PussyInBoots, I love this post so much!!! Thank you for being here and adding much needed sanity and friendliness to my day

Snow's great when viewed from inside a nice warm room. Other than that, I hate the damn stuff and the cold weather in general. Buggers up my heels and all manner of fun.

Hi Heals4Me It seems like you and I have very similar dress sense. I too love lycra, skinny jeans, heels, etc. You don't say where you are, but the centre London is always a pretty good bet if you want to have a totter around and dress how you want. Covent Garden and Camden Town are especially free and easy places. I go out about once a month, less in the winter (I hate the winter!!!) and love to turn heads. Good luck, you enjoy yourself!!!!

I guess your male friend is still hurting following the divorce and that's totally understandable. Did you speak to him before the wedding to say you were accompanying his ex-wife? It's not that you need his permission, but a "heads up" might have pre-empted the reaction of your friend. You and your lady friend are consenting adults and free to behave as you wish. If you want to have him as a friend as well as her, then give him a few days to calm down and then have a chat. It's admirable that you don't want to hurt his feelings, but what about yours? At the end of the day, who's are more important?

Hi Foxyheels I'm so pleased for you haying an outting in London, your tale brings back good memories for me, which I re-live everytime I have a totter around Covent Garden or Oxford Street. Respect to you for managing 3 hours in 5" heels. My highest are 4.5" which I've done a whole day in, but I could barely walk for a week after. the pain was well worth it though!!! You don't need me to tell you your wife is such a lovely lady and you a lucky man to have her, as I am with mine, but I have the utmost respect for her in having such an open mind and helping you gain the freedom to be who you want to be. Maybe we'll bump into eachother in London one day?! Best wishes to you and yours

Some are in the original boxes for safe keeping and travelling, some in the shoe cupboard near our front door, some in wardrobes, some next to our bed, some just randomly on the floor. I know, I have what some people might consider to be a shoe obsession, but I don't care, I love my boots and shoes
-
I forgot to say, there were loads of stiletto shoes and boots on sale from £5 upwards. Most were small sizes so would probably suit the ladies, but they were quality makes even if a little used. There were definately bargains to be had. I don't know whether the lady will be there selling them next month. Here's hoping!!!!!!!!!
-
If its the same one I went to a couple of years ago it be a complete waste of time. Pay £5 to get in and spend about 10 minutes looking around.
Thanks for replying. By the way, I had a great 4 hours there.

Stupidly short notice, but I'll be a-tottering around LFF on Sunday. If anyone fancies joining me, please do!!!!

I'm not sure the plot thickens, I think that rag of a website is just publishing this to satisfy the appetite of its readership. Lines like "Today more details emerged shedding light on the lawyer's complex personal life" really beggar belief. It was this person's personal life and it's only because he's now dead the website report it. It is not in the public interest, but will no doubt be of interest to the public. There's a world of difference.
By the way, and in case you didn't notice, I hate the press.

I used to complement her every time she wore her heels to work. She has not
Worn them in over 6 months. Did I bring to much attention to them. She has these gladiator flats that would be killer if only they had even a slight heel. Some one tell me how to get her to were them again.
Sadly, yes, I think your enthusiasm for her high heels was too much for the lady and I don't blame her. Next time, just enjoy the moment, there's really no need to say anything unless you are asked, and even then, keep a lid on it!!!
Ballerinas

I love wearing heels, always have, always will. But my love for shoes extends from stilettoes to ballerina flats too. I have some gorgeous ones in pink satin, purple leather, leopard print, sparkly silver and lots of others too. They're decent makes such as Faith (RIP). They look great with skinny jeans or leggings, better than stilettoes sometimes as I think spikey heels with painted on jeans can look like you're trying too hard, if you know what I mean. Like all of my shoes, they're kept in as pristine condition as possible. They're not dirty nor are they smelly either ;o)
I simply love shoes
