Hello, it’s been a long time since I last stopped by HHPlace but I thought I’d share my first heel purchase experience with you all again. It was during a recent conversation with my sister that I thought about this forum and in particular a post I had added back in July 2010. The topic was about the first heels that you had worn and I had responded with a post about the first heels I had purchased back in the 90s (see HERE). I had attached an image of a pair of heels which were similar to those that I had purchased but it wasn’t a particularly flattering image and the heels in the image weren’t patent leather like the pair I had bought but served as a reference to the type of style. With thanks to modern technology, yesterday I took the original image and with some help from ChatGPT I was able to reproduce a near perfect image of the first heels that I ever purchased; a pair of Ravel Black Cross Strap Patent Heels. I was a teenager back in the 90s and had had discovered that despite being male and fancying females I had developed a passion for female clothing, footwear, jewellery and makeup. I had taken a liking to black patent leather too and had nearly died when my cousin offered to let me try on her patent heels one evening after high school. I had said no when put on the spot but inside I was so wanting to try them on. Anyway, I had not long left high school and one evening whilst walking home from College with my sister, we happened to be walking behind some high school girls and I was drawn to the heels that one of the girls had on. On seeing them, in that instance I just knew that I had to have my own pair of those heels and so the hunt was on to find them in the shops. It was great back then as there were lots of shoe shops in my local town centre and so it wasn’t long before I had tracked them down with a little help from my sister to the local Ravel Shoe shop. Inside the shop we quickly located them on the shelf, my sister picked one of them up and gave me a close up view. I excitedly nodded with approval, gave her the cash and she went and made the purchase on my behalf. Pretending they were for her, she asked for a size 8 only to be told that they only had them in a size 7. She looked my way to gauge my reaction knowing I was a size 8 but I didn’t care, I’d somehow get my feet into those size 7s. I remember the sales assistant bringing them out and showing them to her and me getting all giddy inside as I battled to contain my excitement at the thought of soon being the owner of the heels I had wanted so badly. I remember it being a truly magical experience! Amazing how something as small as a pair of heels can have such a hold over you! They soon became my pride and joy too and for months on end I would wear them each evening in the privacy of my bedroom. Purchasing those heels wasn’t the start of the cross dressing but they certainly helped take the dressing to another level at that time. Eventually those block heels would soon be sidelined with my first purge. What came afterwards were heels that were much more sexier than before and now they boasted much taller heel sizes too. Care to share your first heel purchase experience? Was it as magical as mine?
