I go with style over height... I like shoes I'd be able to reasonably wear out of the house.

Yeah I questioned these til I saw the heels collapse when they try to stand up. And since they're designed for babies 0-6 months, none of them should be walking at that point anyway. But hot pink? Zebra print? Leopard? THAT I question...

I'm my opinion it doesn't matter who the clothes were designed for. I was only appealing for an end to baggy jeans, t shirts and stilettos.

Use your imagination. Read some style magazines (both men's and women's) and have a play.

There are loads of fashion websites. Anyone seen Bryan boy? Or Style Bubble

There are loads of crazy high fashion looks on them but there's also some gold.

The possibilities are endless. Here's a link to start you off... loads of Boy meets Girl stuff. Flick throught the gallery.

It's only some clothes after all.

Enjoy yourselves,

Ben

Fashion magazines, while fun to read, point to nothing I'd expect to see on most women anytime soon, let alone men. I'd be more prone to mimic the ideas posed by members here like kneehighs and fashionablefun. I have a fairly limited budget, so most of my spending has to be done within the constructs of my finances. Therefore, I find things that I already have and try to properly incorporate women's shoes into the look.

Here's an outfit I put together for today. I didn't have much to do (just had to pick up something from a friend's place, stop at Payless to see what they had since I was near, maybe get gas which I wound up not doing anyway). I didn't wear the shoes into my friend's house, because there were several young kids there and I didn't have time or energy to explain why I had on the shoes I did, should the topic have come up. Additionally, I realised once more the difference between trying on heels while wearing them, versus trying them on in men's shoes. Since I'd have to be in and out of the shoes I wore there, anybody who came to my aisle would see them, and they'd see me trying on other women's shoes. This is two victories at once, since you can't really hide what you're doing and it's a potential icebreaker should someone want to chat you up. So to everyone that's gonna go shoe shopping, wear a pair of women's shoes into the store. By the time you've walked from your car to the storefront, your nerves will be gone. The second picture just shows off the shoes better. I'd need a real pair of capris if I were going to do that look.

I like the flat sandals alot

So do I... enough to have purchased them today, along with the brown wedges. 3 for 3, not bad I'm about to wear the brown ones out now, actually. Not really going anywhere (just picking up something from a friend, I won't have to get out of the car) but I def. need to break them in.

Put plainly, they're hell on your back due to lack of proper arch support.

today I braved a downpour and bought these

I also saw these and contemplated picking them up

thoughts? I know the style is taboo, but they have a little lift and look like they'd be fun for Independence Day celebrations.

hey everyone im new here and ive loved high heels since i was 3 years old. I have about 30 pairs now and i wanted to know is it weird that a big brolic black cuban guy like me wearing high heels in public? i mean im not tryin to be racist or anything its just i would like to know from another's perspective, so can you guys let me know what you think?

Hey, I'm also black (amongst other things, but I definitely pass the one drop rule) and enjoy wearing heels as well. Nothing wrong with it. I've found that the most consistent approval comes from middle-aged Caucasian women, although I've gotten nice compliments from people of all races. You can't really make it a class issue, a race issue, or anything like that. Some people are simply more open to the idea of men wearing heels than others. Most people either approve or are outwardly ambivalent, I've found in my experience.

Avenue now goes to size 13-Wide. Some styles are even generous.

What makes you think I didn't?

This,

I was thinking so hard about wearing some heels, but surprisingly enough, I couldn't decide what to wear! That and I wasn't feeling quite brave enough.

Now, is it the chicken or the egg....

Is it that high heels are giving you toned muscles or is it the toned muscles (and fitness including proper weight) that allow you to wear higher heels?

I think having toned, fit legs in advance to wearing heels makes the experience easier. The mere physics of heel-wearing will work out pretty much all of the essential muscles, thus making one's legs more toned.

The burn is no different than what you'd feel from doing all leg-based workouts at the gym. Next-day soreness is actually results.

Welcome back... I'm curious, how do you pronounce your username?

If your ex-wife is also your best friend, what kept you from wearing heels around her? I think my best friend (a female) was the second person who knew, that I didn't live with. My only regret about it was telling her so close to Hurricane Katrina, which I couldn't possibly plan for so I'm not too terribly upset.

It's actually easier for me if I walk fast and take steps slightly shorter than I would in flats. I have a bit of a natural shake in my walk, but it's far more noticeable when I wear heels.

Before I had almost no discretion... if it came in my size and I liked it enough to try it on, I bought it if it fit well. This led to many purchases for which I'd slap myself if I could go back and do it. Now I pretty nuch only pick up styles that I could wear out with no major qualms. This means lower heels (anywhere from 2 to 4 inches is good for me, I don't really need 5" or more), better styles (no more faux wood open-toe bow-adorned wedge sandals), and obviously conservative colors (black or brown only).

I have also had very good luck at Target. They carry some beautiful high heels in sizes 12 and 13 in a decent variety.

I've never seen a pair of women's shoes in a size larger than 11 in Target. Five different states.

Depends on the style of shoe, what I'm wearing with them, who's at the door... I could either be showing them off or pretending I didn't know what a high heel was.

Hello and welcome to the High Heel Meeting Place. May you enjoy your time here, and may your time here be extensive.

Only the time I wore heels on Halloween. Most people I knew just wanted to know how I managed to find heels in my size.

Boots, pumps, and sandals, in no particular order. Sandals are usually flat, though, and hard to tell which gender they were made for.

I'm in college and I wear heels. I rarely do at college just because of the mass amounts of walking required*, but I have done it, and most people are generally too caught up in their own affairs to make time to be snide. * - I usually do all of my classes either on Monday & Wednesday or Tuesday & Thursday. The campus where I attend school is small enough to walk everywhere, but not so big to where driving from point-to-point is never necessary.

First off, hello and welcome to hhplace. Don't worry about finding a niche here; it will come in due time. For now, just enjoy yourself, read some topics, and CONTRIBUTE! Nothing you've said about yourself is out of the ordinary to us here. To answer your question though, some people do visit both. Using myself as an example, I primarily post in "For The Guys" and "For Everyone," because the topics are most relevant to me. I have experimented with cross-dressing enough to actively discuss those topics as well. And of course, the non-specific areas here aren't off-limits to anyone. Just keep careful watch on topics marked "For The Girls" and you're good to go. May your stay here be a lengthy one!

I think that having someone along with you, who knows and doesn't waste time talking about it, is a major plus. People see that interaction (or lack thereof) and play off of it (or don't, as it was in your case). It's like my friends and I... there aren't many occasions where we aren't telling a joke, and on several instances unknown passersby would chuckle or chime in. I once spent an evening out with my best friend (a female) wearing my mary-janes and opaque kneehighs; nobody said a word about it because we didn't.

I only like to see them once it gets warm outside and people start wearing dark colors less.
