heelguy Posted August 28, 2009 Posted August 28, 2009 Due to renovations at work, we were forced to use the toilets in another department store. Everyday i would walk through and stare at the heels that the manikins were wearing thinking to myself "id love those shoes". Being too nervous of what anybody would think, it didnt even cross my mind to purchase them or anything as i was just enjoying looking at them every time i walked past. A little while ago we were informed that our store would be closing down in the shopping center and not returning, well... today came the very last day, so being that, and not having to worry about walking past these people who would serve me for these gorgeous shoes every day ever again gave me the encouragement and bottle to go and buy them, so i did!! Wow, as i was standing at the counter to inquire about them i thought my heart was going to pop out of my chest, i could literally feel the adrenaline pumping, and going over in my head what i was going to say to her, i thought about it so much i mixed my words up a little talking to the lady, only to find i had to go upstairs on the next level to buy them. So i made my way upstairs and approached a guy who was working there, at first i wanted the pink suede heels, so i asked for those, but they didnt have my size, i was just as happy with the black ones though which they did have my size in, so i got those, i didn't try them on, i wasn't game enough, but he did bring them out to me asif i was going to (maybe one day) as i was walking away with the heels in the box in the bag i was carrying, i felt a huge sense of excitement just knowing that i'd done what id be dreaming of doing for a long long time. here's a couple of pics of me wearing them when i got home... http://i32.tinypic.com/szg842.jpg http://i30.tinypic.com/5eubfk.jpg

Bubba136 Posted August 29, 2009 Posted August 29, 2009 Wow, what a great pair of shoes for your first pair. Being mentally comfortable in your own mind is the key to wearing heels in public.

Tissue paper, cardboard in the toes and heels. Those plastic rods usually are placed inside the shoe, lengthwise, from toe to heel to maintain the shape until worn. I've never figured out a good use for them once I begin wearing the shoes, except to put them back into the shoes when I took them off and put them back in the box...... Being mentally comfortable in your own mind is the key to wearing heels in public.
hhfan Posted August 30, 2009 Posted August 30, 2009 congrats heelguy, youve done somthing i feel i could never do. i love to be able to go into a shoe shop and buy a pair of heels. but im to nervous. i was nervous enough ordering them off ther net. but nothing and i mean nothing beats the very 1st feeling. when i got my platform boots i was shaking so bad i could barly do up the laces. it was as awsome feeling, especially when you have dreamed about wearing them for so long. then the 1st few steps in your new shoes when you dont kno how they will feel to walk in. to me that was the greatest feeling in the world. wild for plats

Whilst standing in the heels section waiting for the guy to bring the shoes out to me, there were women shopping for heels all around me, and i remember looking around thinking they all must be staring at me, but i didn't get one look, it made me feel alot more relaxed about the whole experience. Before i went to get them i was actually considering trying them on in the store as i've read so many positive stories on here.
loswabs Posted August 30, 2009 Posted August 30, 2009 Lovely shoes, good choice. Nice toe cleavage too It's my opinion, no more, no less
Saturn Posted September 2, 2009 Posted September 2, 2009 Fantastic story! I wish my first pair was that nice. I spent a lot of time and money buying lousy-looking shoes because I thought I needed a "wide" size, which I don't. Reading your tale, I can relate to your feelings very easily. Once you start trying them on in the store, you won't go back. Congrats!
heelguy Posted September 3, 2009 Author Posted September 3, 2009 ok so i love my new heels so much i decided to take a few more photo's for you all to enjoy http://img405.imageshack.us/img405/6999/image43c.jpg http://img156.imageshack.us/img156/4258/image42c.jpg http://img35.imageshack.us/img35/4104/image41c.jpg
partyshoes Posted September 3, 2009 Posted September 3, 2009 great Buy, like the toe shape! Congrats! Gingers Rogers did everything Fred Astair did .. but backwards and in heels
heelguy Posted September 4, 2009 Author Posted September 4, 2009 BIG NEWS! last night i went out with the intention of wearing my heels in public so people could see for the very first time! as it was late i knew there would only either be quiet places with nobody to see, or masses of people exiting clubs and what not, and as it was my first time i decided against being seen by a large number of people, in fear of being heckled by drunks or even worse. So i thought the next best place would be a petrol station. i pulled up around the corner from the petrol station, put on my heels, and started walking towards the front of the place. there was nobody on the forecourt. the distance from the door to the counter was very short, maybe only 5 paces, so initially i don't think the clerk had any idea what my choice of footwear was. I didn't go in there with the intention of buying anything in particular, as the only reason i went there was to be seen in the heels. so i picked up a packet of gum. the clerk was quite short, so i knew he couldn't see what i was wearing, but never the less, my heart was still racing, it was such a good feeling. I turned around to leave and started walking, it seemed as though the only thing i could hear was the clicking of my heels on the hard floor, and knew that by now the clerk MUST have known and had a look. I wanted to turn around and see if he was looking, but i didn't. As i was walking back to my car all i could feel was a huge sense of joy and excitement. I wanted to be seen in them more!!! i was so happy with my escapade that i decided to drive home wearing the heels (i have never driven in heels before, so to begin with, found this quite challenging). i soon got the hang of it though. this is definatly something that ill remember, and want to do more. public heeling as amazing. thankyou everybody on here who has given me the confidence to atleast try it! all i can say is.. WOW!
heelguy Posted September 5, 2009 Author Posted September 5, 2009 read above guys! i want everyone to share my experience, it was amazing!
HeelsForMen Posted September 5, 2009 Posted September 5, 2009 well done on petrol station walk, it must of been a blast for you as it was for me and anyone like me who wishes they were in your shoes (pardon pun) on that walk, iam getting to the stage now where i reckon i will start trying these safe but public walks like banks, casinos etc 1
heelguy Posted September 6, 2009 Author Posted September 6, 2009 thank you it was! i didn't feel as nervous as i thought i would be! i tried to walk in with as much confidence as i could to make it seem all the more normal. I would love to go out in broad daylight wearing them in a really public place, but it's choosing a destination that i know i definatly will not be recognized at, as i dont wish for anybody close to me to know about my heeling.
hhfan Posted September 6, 2009 Posted September 6, 2009 hey your brave im paranoid about being seen outside, congrats. must have been awsome wild for plats
heelguy Posted September 6, 2009 Author Posted September 6, 2009 thanks, it was the best! you shouldn't be paranoid, just go on your heeling venture away from home where you don't know anybody. The way i see it, im probably never going to see these people who see me in heels ever again, so it shouldn't matter
mackman69 Posted September 9, 2009 Posted September 9, 2009 thats great you have gone out in public wearing them sexy heels and you have nice legs in them.
hhfan Posted September 23, 2009 Posted September 23, 2009 every time i put my heels on i think where can i wear them i would love to kno how it feels to be able to wear heels out side in broad daylight and not have to think twice about being seen in heels. i really envy women being able to wear what ever thay want and not have to worry or be looked at as gay or tg etc wild for plats
roniheels Posted September 27, 2009 Posted September 27, 2009 Those sre some great shoes you bought and they really look good on you. Congratulations on wearing the high heels in public. Those first steps and the sound of the clicking heels is truly a rush. Good luck of future heeling.
heelguy Posted November 24, 2009 Author Posted November 24, 2009 Bump! got myself a little denim skirt and some thigh high hold-ups, let me know what you think! http://i46.tinypic.com/29kxf0h.jpg
