Guest Posted January 23, 2010 Posted January 23, 2010 hi there! I was wondering if any of would be thinking of getting UTILIKILTS to wear with high (thigh or over the knee) boots, I ve seen a lot of guys on the UTILIKILT site but ocourse in here we all love HEELS!! I think that it would look good!
blackberry Posted January 23, 2010 Posted January 23, 2010 Hmm? I never thought about mixing the two before. Yes, I think they could go together quite well.
Dr. Shoe Posted January 23, 2010 Posted January 23, 2010 Yuck! Sorry, not my thing at all. If you wear thigh boots you have to wear a miniskirt or a catsuit. Graduate footwear designer able to advise and assist on modification and shoe making projects.
NewfieGuyInHeels Posted January 23, 2010 Posted January 23, 2010 Acually I have a black utilikilt. And I've been thinking of pairing it with a pair of over the knee flat boots I have. I don't think it would actually go with heels, but my gf love the idea of my flat boots with the kilt and a nice sweater for a great winter look. When I get the motivation I'll do a pic for you guys. http://s77.photobucket.com/albums/j78/darthraze/
Dr. Shoe Posted January 23, 2010 Posted January 23, 2010 that'd probably look OK... In fact it's a look I might like actually... Graduate footwear designer able to advise and assist on modification and shoe making projects.
Dawn HH Posted January 23, 2010 Posted January 23, 2010 Newfieguyinheels:-) Not my thing either, but I would like to see your pics to see how you look in that outfit. Cheers--- Dawn HH High Heeled Boots Forever!
NewfieGuyInHeels Posted January 24, 2010 Posted January 24, 2010 I can't deny requests like those, so I just got off my lazy duff and did a pic. This outfit I do plan on wearing this winter season. Probably with my nice fitted leather jacket and a scarf. Feel free to et me now what you think! http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j78/darthraze/Me221.jpg http://s77.photobucket.com/albums/j78/darthraze/
Dr. Shoe Posted January 24, 2010 Posted January 24, 2010 That's not bad. It doesn't look the remotest bit feminine either... Graduate footwear designer able to advise and assist on modification and shoe making projects.
Tech Posted January 24, 2010 Posted January 24, 2010 That's not bad. It doesn't look the remotest bit feminine either... I thought you said "Nice sweater"??? Man that is seriously loud, and the pose combined with the shape of everything kinda looks "slouchy/sluggish". It looks ok, but doesnt look smart/sharp/tidy, more kind of indie/grunge...

NewfieGuyInHeels Posted January 24, 2010 Posted January 24, 2010 Not at all, everyone has they're own opinion. Yeah the sweater has stretched out a bit. But some reason i can never buy shirts in that material small enough to fit. However I challenge anyone to come up with a better color combo than black and red lol! http://s77.photobucket.com/albums/j78/darthraze/
Dr. Shoe Posted January 24, 2010 Posted January 24, 2010 Er... black and grey, black and white... even black and orange looks good too. Graduate footwear designer able to advise and assist on modification and shoe making projects.

Probably with my nice fitted leather jacket and a scarf. Feel free to et me now what you think! http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j78/darthraze/Me221.jpg Looking back at your picture again, those boots seem to be extremely flat, iin a kind of "somebody drove over your feet" kinda way which combined with all the wrinkles in them almost look like a wetsuit and flippers... ok, seriously, I'm not taking the piss and totally not trying to offend, its just they look extremely flat. I'd say possibly try and go for colours that dull down your shape and cuts/patterns that elongate your shape, vertical stripes for example, but very subtle ones and nothing garish or loud. I think this is where the plain sweater isnt doing you any favours, especially in such a loud colour. Maybe a gun-metal grey v-neck buttoned polo shirt to break up the neck and distract from the inward slope from stomach to neck, combined with a chrome buckle belt and possibly boots that have something like a 1" or 2" heel to raise the foot up a little so it doesnt look like your standing in flippers???

Magic Heels Posted January 25, 2010 Posted January 25, 2010 I agree with Newfie, his sweater is not "seriously loud" and red and black is a good combination. I have been wearing red shirts and sweaters for years, certainly since my ski-ing days long ago when red was regarded as a safety precaution and teamed with black ski-pants very well.
NewfieGuyInHeels Posted January 25, 2010 Posted January 25, 2010 I know I said "let me know what you think" but what's that whole saying? "If you can't say anything nice...?" http://s77.photobucket.com/albums/j78/darthraze/
Dawn HH Posted January 25, 2010 Posted January 25, 2010 Newfieguyinheels:-) The whole saying is---"If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all". But you did say for us to give our opinions and that is all that the above posters are doing, not trying to discourage you in any way, but offering different suggestions that you could try. Thanks for sharing the pic. Cheers--- Dawn HH High Heeled Boots Forever!
Tech Posted January 25, 2010 Posted January 25, 2010 I know I said "let me know what you think" but what's that whole saying? "If you can't say anything nice...?" Nothing is ever said in offence, nor a gate... ba boom... lol ok, seriously, so are you saying "Let me know what you think, as long as its only nice stuff", no matter what your wearing? Nobody is taking a pop at you, its all a bit of fun... Heels for Men // Legwear Fashion // HHPlace Guidelines If something doesn't look right, please report the content ASAP!
NewfieGuyInHeels Posted January 25, 2010 Posted January 25, 2010 Look, I don't want to hijack this thread with me complaining. But all I'm saying is I've seen tons of horrible shoes, and lots of bad outfits on this site that really didn't appeal to me. But I've never run down a person's attempt or choices where everyone can see it in a manner of.... oh let's say.... "your boots look like flippers" And without a tone to the text it's really easy for a comment to read as snobbish and backhanded no matter how many lol's or jk's you put into it. I just remember when I joined you didnt hear so much "constructive criticisim" as you did praise. I've read alot of posts lately where ppl have just nit picked shoes and outings and outfits. If you really must say something negative do it in a pm. then if the person wants to share they can say "someone suggested ...." Now what you said rubbed me the wrong way, to me it came off very pompous and backhanded. But if I'm the only one who sees it that way then so be it, I'll just stew in my corner and get over it. That's my 3 cents, I'm done, back to the topic at hand. http://s77.photobucket.com/albums/j78/darthraze/
Tech Posted January 26, 2010 Posted January 26, 2010 Could this be why nobody gives honest opinions anymore because everybody is all too worried that the person receiving it will take it badly? Isnt this the entire point of having an open and honest community, that were all free to share our thoughts and opinions, especially when asked to? Not everybody in life is going to find the same things pleasing, and those who dont agree have the free will to say so, and we should respect that. If I posted a picture in a tuxedo and somebody said "Those heels look like stilts with woodworm", I'd laugh, a lot, and reflect on it, because we often dont see ourselves the way the world see's us.... We get used to how we look, and comfortable in that, thus fresh pairs of eyes and minds often help all of us to improve, we just all have different ways of expressing it.. I choose to express my thoughts honestly and openly, and can truly never see what the big deal is over such a minor comment, its as if some guys sold their spines to buy their footwear... Its just honest feedback, telling it how I see it and totally not intended to offend (Its getting very boring having to keep saying this round here lately too). I'd consider what I said to be very mild, light-hearted and very restrained to be even more honest.. But, thats how life is, and do you often notice too that when somebody says "Tell me what you think of the outfit", a lot of people chime in with tiny snippets like "nice hat / nice shoes / nice this / nice that" but refuse to actually comment on what has been asked... As if to say, "You dont want to know what I think, but great shoes" like their avoiding the rest of an outfit or style for fear of offending somebody?? Arnt we all meant to be friends, and as friends, can speak openly and honestly about pretty much anything... If we cant do that then we have nothing..

Bubba136 Posted January 26, 2010 Posted January 26, 2010 Now what you said rubbed me the wrong way, to me it came off very pompous and backhanded. I wouldn't take Tech's comments any other way except as "constructive criticism" and not personally. :-) So, set back, relax and take a deep breath. Life's too short. Relax if your GF likes it....who else matters? Certainly not a bunch of self-centered individuals that have nothing else better to do than discuss wearing high heels (and, I include myself in this description.) we're glad you are here and you have contributed so positively over the past 5 or so years. Being mentally comfortable in your own mind is the key to wearing heels in public.
NH Heels Posted January 26, 2010 Posted January 26, 2010 Unfortunatly I think some of us (myself included) take this way too seriously sometimes but it's because we're all so passionate about it. We seem to forget that we're all very different and have different tastes. This forum should be a place to share our common interest in heels but because it seems we've made it a place to tout our crusade for men in heels, it's easy to loose sight of why we're here. Constructive critizism should be welcomed and not trashed just because you can't take it, tearing someone down because they choose to wear stilettos and not block heels for instance just isn't helpful. Honestly, the people here seem to cover the globe and everyone needs to be a little more understanding. We should be able to all be "friends", after all we all share a common interest even if we have different ideas and goals. Sorry if I've been preachy but this is one of the reasons why i took a break from the forum. And for the record I'm not taking sides. Jim
wetwillie Posted January 26, 2010 Posted January 26, 2010 I wear my black utilikilt with knee high soft soled lace up moccasins. Kind of a "braveheart" look.
chris100575 Posted January 26, 2010 Posted January 26, 2010 I'd definitely wear a Utilikilt but I'd team it with my New Rock Reactors. I think a black kilt and big stompy boots would go well!

Ahhhhh! nothing beats the image of a man wearing a kilt and a pair of big stompy boots while walking around carrying a caber over his shoulder.

Dawn HH Posted January 27, 2010 Posted January 27, 2010 A unikilt and a pair of big stompy boots? I can picture that in my minds eye. Go for it. Cheers--- Dawn HH High Heeled Boots Forever!
Guest Posted January 27, 2010 Posted January 27, 2010 I'd pick DEMONIA platform boots/shoes ofcourse for "BIG STOMPY BOOTS":silly:
