I just received an amazon order for a couple pairs of boots. Great style for the guy that wants something a bit on the "male" side of the shoe spectrum.

...

 

Very acceptable for male wear - but no use at all for men with 'normal' (larger) feet!

[Pumped]

Here are a few pics of the Musse-Cloud. And yes, they are good for smaller feet. I am a sized 9 men's USA and like I said earlier, they are on the tight side, but I am betting they will stretch just a bit and fit the way I like.

Pumped, those boots look GREAT, especially with the flared jeans, nice choice!

My most recently added wedge boots.

Very simple and effective. I like how they look on me.

Please don't notice my shirt getting out on the second picture!

Nice boots.

These wedge boots look great on you! How high are they?
I LOVE wedges, and if they are on boots - even better
Are they silent steps, or do they click-clack? My wife has a pair of low wedges, probably have a hollow heel, as they make a click-clack as she steps...  Mine however are relatively silent...

Everybody thinks he lives in a very conservative community. The truth is, however, that the demons are in your head and it's just an excuse. I know because I used to think that, too. Then I slowly climbed out of my shell and tested things, with block heeled boots covered by long jeans, with bootcut jeans, with other shoes that were more daring, with sandals that revealed my painted toenails, and so on. It's been a fun journey, but with baby steps all the way to keep my wife happy as she gained confidence that I was still the same guy she married, only happier. So take your baby steps, start small and safely. Go to big malls and places with lots of people who are too busy to notice. Don't go to dark alleys and unsafe neighborhoods alone; you will invite trouble. Read of the outings posted here so you gain confidence, and keep pushing the envelope! Good luck on your journey.

Steve, I hear what you are saying. Thanks for the encouragement. I will take it slow and easy...
I tend to be careful with my wife too -  she knows about my love of HH's, and puts up with it to a certain degree - half annoyed I think, but half amused too. But the last thing I would want to do is make her think that I am more fem than her   She wanted a husband, right?  Do you guys ever have those thoughts?

These boots look great - could easily pass as men's cowboy boots - that is until you see they are ankle height  
Enjoy them!

@pebblesf Thanks for your comment ! Yes but now I have the as many heels as flat men shoes and I don't wear heels out for the moment (afraid of public view and to cross people I know)

I know exactly what you mean... I now have 15+ pairs of heels (boots, sandals and pumps), whereas my daily men selection is about 5-6 too... 
I always feels I need to justify the heel buying, but I love it.. and I usually buy on sale too (Don't you just love those New Look sales!!!)
My issue now is finding space to store the heels ...

The latest pair of thrift store boots are nine west.  The quality of leather is great, and they are easy to walk in as well...

We recently picked up a pair of flat leather boots for my wife at an outlet. They were a great price (for Nine West, that is), seem very good quality  and they fit her like a glove. I have tried them on too - they fit well, though I still prefer heels

I wore the Musse-Cloud boots out to dinner with friends last evening. The missus reluctantly approves, but she does not get "it"

these,

I had gone out to lunch with the husband of the couple and had worn the "lower" heeled Coolway boots I mentioned earlier in this thread and he commented on the heel, but just shook his head and no more comments. He was with me when I stopped and home and changed for dinner and slipped on my Musse boots, and I was having second thoughts. Then I figured, the heck with it, and just own up to it and put them on and walked into the other room, showed him the boots and said "if you liked the the boots I wore at lunch you will go crazy over these!" He just looked at them, shook his head, and asked if I can really walk in them and that was the end of it.

When we got to the restaurant may wife noticed my boots and my buddy asked his wife if she saw my boots and she said, just a glance. We ended up over at their place for a cocktail afterwards and nothing was said until I put my boots back on and my buddy told his wife to take a look. I turned sideways, pulled my jeans up a bit and tipped my foot so she got a good look and she blurted out "holy crap!" We all had a laugh and left.

Thank you for the kind comments.

The heels are very wearable (3"), and they are completely silent and shock absorbing. The downside is that the somewhat elastomeric material of the heel will not keep its shape for years, compared to heels made of wooden materials, yet hollow and noisy, .

Pumped:

Sounds like a great time, kudos to you for just "going for it"....

I need to man up and adopt this same attitude more often, must feel great...

[Pumped]

I would, but my wife keeps the brakes on me too. She didn't say anything, but I don't think she thought I would wear them out of the house. I got the "look" when she saw them at the restaurant.

Just posted some new shots of a pair of black suede tassle boots I bought

Hey all, here's a terrible mirror shot of my new Jeffrey Campbell Lita spike ankle boots! I had to roll up my jeans too, as it's impossible to find a skinny pair in my size.

Size UK 11 ish, EU 44 from Zalando online. Unfortunately the box they came in is in bad shape, currently trying to get their support to knock a bit off.

Oooooh, I'm after a pair of spiked litas in my size! Being a UK7 is kinda helpful but finding the right pair on eBay is tricky.

[xlheel]

The boots in the lower is Even&Odd ankle boots found at zalando, there is no name on the box I have.

These are not really my style, but they do make a bold statement and if that is your message then "Well said".

Will you take them out for a stroll in public?

If I were wearing those, I'd be concerned about doing damage to myself, furniture, or small furry animals I walked near.

I can see some stray dogs that would get the message - - stay back.

@las

Those are awesome! I have the black spikes but like yours better actually. The concerns I read above are justified, the spikes are very sharp! But they look excellent on you.

Thank you! I tried the black spike pair a number of months ago, but I was still trying to work out my size so sent them back. Now that I have tried these, whilst more attention-grabbing in my opinion, are more comfortable. If the black ones come down in price then I could still be tempted

I would love to take them outside someday, but as a tall guy (6'2") already I'm not sure I would feel comfortable doing so, unless it were a party or something, or even a gig? (assuming I could get past security in them!!) The spikes are certainly.. spiky, which makes taking them off a chore!
