verisimile Posted February 10, 2011 Posted February 10, 2011 After spending an hour or so reading posts by open and courageous heelers, I was inspired to summon the strength to go out in public wearing heels. Not real high (3"), not very long (20 minutes), not very public (buying gas), and at night, but it was an exciting, if timid start. Thank you for posting.
sendra45 Posted February 10, 2011 Posted February 10, 2011 welcome along and great you have been able to wear them out. For now, just keep on enjoying them. The angels have the phonebox.
Histiletto Posted February 10, 2011 Posted February 10, 2011 verisimile, For a beginner you have taken quite a leap, so congratulations and thanks for joining with us. The more you continue stretch your limits to wear heels, the more comfortable you will become in public senarios.

This is similar as to how many who wear high heels in public started. May you have many future and successful outings in the future.
xaphod Posted February 11, 2011 Posted February 11, 2011 Don't worry, we all started out with little steps just like yours. Enjoy ..... boldness will come with experience. Xa

Thanks! Charlie Everything I say is a lie!.......I'm lying
verisimile Posted February 11, 2011 Author Posted February 11, 2011 I'll have to work on that. The only photo I have is here, from a sales site. I have no photos of me wearing them. I'll want to comply with forum rules about interesting pictures. Perhaps it is another hurdle to overcome. http://www.payless.com/store/product/detail.jsp?catId=&subCatId=&skuId=064232100&productId=61519&lotId=064232&category=&catdisplayName=Womens I hope I did this correctly.
AZShoeNut Posted February 12, 2011 Posted February 12, 2011 Way to go!! My wife and I both have a pair of those heels. Very comfortable. Enjoy, Larry Life is short... Wear the bleeping shoes!

Thought I would give an older post (12-7-09) for ideas for beginning heelers http://www.hhplace.org/guys/11270-courage-8.html It seems as though we've had similar small steps to gradual outings in heels. Congratulations and happy heeling to you, verisimile.

The link worked fine. Those are very doable with a variety of options depending on how you want to present yourself. Charlie Everything I say is a lie!.......I'm lying
jwhite44 Posted February 12, 2011 Posted February 12, 2011 Welcome! Great that you were able to join the ranks of those that have gone out heeling in public. Although you might be past this, if you have reservations about heeling in public, primarily the fear of being 'caught' in women's shoes, what I recommend is a pair of women's ankle boots, with 2"-3" block heels, under a a pair of longer length pants. The longer pants can hide almost all the heel, and block heel looks a little more unisex that, for that little amount that's seen, likely won't attract much attention. This is a great way to build up your confidence in wearing "heels" out in public, before moving on to styles which tend to be more feminine.
verisimile Posted February 12, 2011 Author Posted February 12, 2011 I live in a relatively rural/small urban area, where public is the customary big box and strip mall stores. If I lived in a large city, I'm sure I would be more courageous about being "spotted" wearing heels. Perhaps I'm still insufficiently confident in these or any heels. I'm open to suggestions from anyone more experienced than I.
