Thigh Boots in Public

I just posted another Thighbootguy video.

Thighbootguy Makes a Cake

Nothing exciting, just me making a cake and wearing thighboots while I’m doing it.

By the way, it turned out to be the best tasting cake I have ever made.

[Thighbootguy]

The weather has warmed up a good bit (60F). I went to the museum without a jacket, just jeans a black turtleneck, and black leather thigh boots with 5” stilettos. The parking lot was packed and there was a good crowd. There were several new exhibits that opened today. I walked in and was warmly greeted by the guards. I grabbed a folding stool and headed for a gallery. Most folks paid more attention to the fact I was sketching than the fact that I was wearing boots. No one said anything other than to comment (usually to their kids) that I was sketching. One of new exhibits had an audio track that played a loud cheer whenever people walked through. I really felt sorry for the guards that had to listen to it all day. I made that comment to one of them and got a nice laugh. I also mentioned to the front desk folks that they needed to lower the volume of the cheering. I think they were tired of hearing it to (it was that loud). Going to the museum really is fun for at least two reasons. One, I like the are and sketching, and two, it a place I can wear my boots and not feel out of place at all. The folks that might take exception, write me off as an “artist”. After the museum, I went to the local thrift store. It was also packed. I had to park at the far end of the parking lot. A couple of folks noticed me walking and one guy was giving me a hard look. I just kept walking. In the store a couple of heads turned but every one was polite enough to not say anything. It was a fun afternoon.

Wearing Thigh Boots in Public

For years, I have enjoyed wearing thigh boots with stiletto heels, but only wore them in private or under jeans when in public. Then I discovered this forum and I really got me thinking along the lines of “these are my boots, why can’t I wear them?”.

Last year I bought a pair of boots with a flat heel and started wearing them in public. Most of my outings were local shopping trips, and I had a good time. The boots attracted a little attention but no problems. My longest outing was a trip where I flew from Dayton Ohio to San Francisco with a layover in Detroit. The airport security had me “remove my shoes” so they could x-ray them, but they were doing that to a lot of people. There were several folks that watched me walking in the terminals with a bemused look on their faces but there isn’t a whole lot else to do in a terminal other than watch people so I figured I was just part of the show. The flight was great and the stewardess said she liked my boots.

I was in San Francisco for a business meeting and wore more “conventional” footwear while working, but in the evenings I was out and about in my boots. It was absolutely uneventful and I had a great time. The flight back was about the same as the flight out except I had to walk from one end of the Detroit airport to the other to get my flight (I was kind of glad the boots were flat heeled).

A digression – Why did I wear “conventional” footwear while working? I was representing the company I work for, not myself. I didn’t think the boots were appropriate dress for a business meeting any more than if I had worn cutoff shorts and tee shirt. That was not the “statement” I wanted to make at the meeting.

This spring, before it got too hot, I started wearing thigh boots with 4” stiletto heels over (not under) my jeans in public. My first post, under Thigh Boots on the For the Gals : Shopping in thigh boots section describes my first outing. Without repeating it here let me just say it was s rush and I had a great time.

Over the summer it is too hot to wear boots .

The weather has started to cool off again so… On the way home from work I stopped at a Bigg’s grocery supermarket. I went in wearing a short sleeved dress shirt, blue jeans and blue leather thigh boots with a 5” stiletto heel ( http://www.howcool.com/pleasersshoes/PL-8899.htm ). This is a large “super store” with 40 long isles of “stuff”. Several people noticed what I was wearing but most people gave no reaction. I had to ask a female clerk where an item was and the store policy is for the clerk to take the shopper to the item. She was very polite and took me several isles from where she was working and made no other comment. I also think she wanted to see how fast I could walk in the heels. As I was leaving the store I did get one reaction. A young kid walked past me and I watched his reflection in the glass in the lobby as he did a full 180 trun.

So far I’m having a great time and that’s the goal.

I’ll post more adventures later.

ive got frisked at the airport in wedge heels too!!

CrotchHiBoots...it was a fun evening. We had many heads turning as we were all in thigh high Boots walking around London, down Shaftesbury Avenue to the SoHo Revue Bar. Good show too.

Here is a new video from Studentofboots that I would like to recommend to everyones attention:

[Thighbootguy]

I went to the Art Museum yesterday and had a great time. I was wearing a shinny long sleeved ivory blouse, jeans, a tan suede coat and black leather thighboots with 5” stilettos.

There was a big crowd and the parking lot was about full. I walked in from the back row of the lot. I am still amazed at how little reaction I get from people. Most folks notice and keep going like they see a guy in thighboots all the time. When folks do look me in the eye, I return the look with a smile and generally get one back.

The guards treated me warmly as they normally do. I grabbed a stool and headed upstairs for a gallery. Seems there were a lot of international guests at the museum. They didn’t seem to notice me any more than anyone else. I guess you guys on the other side of the pond have been out and about enough that thighboot wearing isn’t that out of the ordinary (or I just reinforced the noting of “those crazy Americans”).

The museum has a 1950 Red Farrari on display in the front lobby. WOW. Don’t ask me for more details, I’ll have to go back and get the model.

After the museum trip I dawned a skirt and went shopping. More about that in another post.

[Guest]

did you by any chance take art classes in high school or college TBG? you do a great job in your scetches of whatever you are working on!

[Thighbootguy]

I managed a second trip to the Art Museum. I went over wearing a blue knit short sleeved shirt, jeans, a tan suede jacket and black leather thighboots with 5” stilettos. First the Ferrari: 1950 166MM Barachetta Designer: Carlo Felice Bianchi Anderloni (1916-2003) Manufacturer: Ferrari Body: Aluminum, “Superligerra” (super-light) construction Number of cars produced: 26 Top speed: 137 mph Engine: SOCH 60 degree v-12, three Weber carburetors Bore x Stroke: 60mm x 58.5mm Displacement: 1995 cc Horsepower: 140 bhp @ 6600 rpm Gearbox: 5 speed manual, non-synchronized gears Curb Weight: 1496 lbs. Suspension: Front: transverse leaf spring Rear semi-elliptical leaf spring Wheel Size: 4.00 x 15 Now that that is out of the way, I went sketching in one of my favorite galleries and while I was working a lady with the best looking pair of boots I have ever seen walked by. She was wearing a knee length coat and jeans. The boots were knee length brown leather that had an ankle zipper so they fit snugly. They had a 4” block heel and a rounded toe. The were topped with pull on stirrups and a loose tassel that hung down the outer side. She didn’t even acknowledge the fact that I was there and the male type that was with her looked like he would look disapprovingly at anyone noticing her. Anyway I kept working then went off to another gallery. As I was coming down from the second floor to leave, I saw her in the lobby looking at the Ferrari. She sat down while her husband was walking around the car. I said, “Excuse me but where did you get those boots, they are gorgeous.” She looked pleased at the complement and held a boot out so I could see it. “I got them at Macy’s a couple of weeks ago. There NineWest.” I thanked her and headed out to my car. Great outing.

First, thanks for the kind words.

The short answer to your question is yes. The long answer follows.

About 10 years ago I had been working for a University in the DP shop for 22 years when the management decided to buy a package to replace all the software my team had written. I was told to stop developing anything. I hadn’t realized how much of a creative outlet writing computer code was for me. The short story is I was going nuts because I wasn’t allowed to create stuff.

A friend realized what was happening and got me to enroll in an “experimental” course called Desk Top Publishing that was being taught in the Art department. I had a great time in the class (spending at least 25-30 hours a week creating stuff in the computer lab) but I realized the other students were creating great looking stuff and I was really struggling to make good looking stuff. I finally dawned on me that I was in a class with art student that could draw and I was a computer geek that couldn’t draw.

I went to one of the art teachers I knew and asked her if I could take her drawing class the next semester. She was glad to have a willing student. I worked my tail off in that class and the next three after that. One of the assignments was to go over to the museum and copy a Ruben’s painting of Samson and Delilah. After one trip to the Art Museum I was hooked.

Four years later I retired from the University. I never did write much more code for them but by then, I didn’t need to. I found a creative outlet that I have been using ever since.

Somewhere along the line I discovered there was a feminine side to me and that side created better stuff than the male side. I really do notice a difference in what I create if I’m letting the female side out (heels, boots,...). That was an interesting discovery.

It's been a while since I've been out in heels. I've been a bit iffy about it recently, but last night I'd put on some make up, lippy and foundation, a pair of metallic tights, shiny shorts and the most important thing my corset. (and of course the boots in my avatar - funny I forgot that and I'm putting it in as an edit). Took a few photos, and then was consumed by the idea of going out. By then it was about 11 pm, and the only place to go was the 24 hour tesco. On the way I stopped for petrol, that went smothly enough and then into tesco. I wandered around for a little bit, had absolutely no reaction, apart from one of the guys stacking the shelves who looked my up and down - payed for my purchases, some more lippy, a pair of outsized sunglasses and some razor blades and left the shop. On the way home I called at another 24 hour garage, bought a magazine, again no reaction. There was a group of three police officers chatting outside I said good evening to them no reaction.

[Thighbootguy]

I‘ve added another Thighbootguy video

Thighbootguy Changing Boots

I’m sure there are folks that will think I stole the idea for the video from Stepaniboots54 … will, there right, I did. And, I don’t change boots anywhere as nicely as Stephaniboots does.

I did add a little guitar playing so there is some original material.

Sounds like a fun outting.

[Thighbootguy]

I’m taking a class this week and even though it’s local I’m letting my employer buy me dinner after class. Tonight I went to an Olive Garden (family restaurant chain) wearing jeans, a white long sleeved turtleneck, and black leather thighboots with 5” stiletto heels. From all the reaction I got (none at all ) I don’t think anyone even noticed or they were too polite to bat an eye. Oh well at least it was a good meal. I did notice that I felt absolutely comfortable walking into an restaurant I had never been in before wearing those boots. They really are just my shoes. I’ll let you know how the rest of the week goes.

[JeffB]

Yum! Olive Garden! One of my favorite places to eat! Right on, TBG!

[Thighbootguy]

Like I said, I’m taking a class and I really throw myself into the learning process which means at the end of the day, I’m wiped out. I didn’t feel like going to much of an up beat (loud) place so I went back to the Olive Garden restaurant. I wore a long sleeved white dress shirt, jeans and black thigh boots with 5” stiletto heels. The folks at the front desk recognized me from the night before and gave me the same cheerful greeting. Again no one even seemed to notice my boots. I had a nice meal (JeffB is right). As I was leaving, I dropped my hat in the lobby and had to stoop down to pick it up then I held the door open for a lady that was coming into the restaurant. No one even batted an eye. I sure am glad I enjoy wearing my boots just for the sake of being comfortable, because the fun of getting a reaction doesn’t seem to be available in northern Cincinnati. By the way I have been wearing my blue leather knee boots with a 2” block heel under my jeans in class.

[Thighbootguy]

Last night I had dinner at Ruby Tuesdays and tried their new triple prime burger (which is overrated). I went in wearing jeans, a white turtleneck, tan jacket and leather thigh boots with 5” stiletto heels.

When I walked in I noticed a couple of the waitresses noticed my boots but the hostess seated me without any comment. My waiter was jovial and friendly but made no mention of my boots. I did get up and go to the salad bar which meant I walked across the restaurant and back. All in all it was a non event and not that good of a meal.

After that I went to a large bookstore and look around for a technical book I needed to read. A couple of folks noticed and I did hear a few giggles that didn’t come from the humor section. Those two shopping trips and a long walk across the parking lot made a nice but uneventful outing.

Today was the last day of class so I went back to the Olive Garden for dinner. Tonight I wore a pair of Gloria Vanderbilt shorts with a ¾” inseam, gray turtleneck, tan jacket, white hose and black thighboots with 5” heels. I was thinking if I’m gonna wear them I might as well show them off.

As I was being seated I asked to go to a brighter part of the restaurant because I wanted to read a bit so I was seated near the windows. The waitress was very outgoing and we hit it off well. After she took my order and brought out the salad I asker her, “Will these boots be a problem around here?”

She looked at them and said, “No, not at all ... they look nice. Oh work them heels, work them heels, work them heels”. We both had a good laugh.

The meal was good. As I was paying she said, “You be careful now and don’t break one of those heels.”

I laughed and said, “That’s not a problem, I’ve got miles and miles on them.”

She laughed and said, “Well, you do what you do.”

After dinner I stopped at a different, even larger, bookstore and found another good tech book I wanted to read. The staff were very helpful and polite. They acted like a guy in thighboots came in all the time.

On the way home, I stopped at the big thrift emporium where I often shop. I went in wearing my boots and shorts. A couple of folks noticed but most just ignored me. One lady did say, “Oh, I want them boots”.

I smiled and said, “There fun”.

She replied with an “Oh yeah.”

I did find two pair of nylon opera gloves. One pair in white and the other pink which will go with the pink outfit I had on in one of the videos.

All in all this has been an exhausting but fun week.

Let me add that one of my favorite boot images is:

I've always wanted to try that look and il looks like I am finally ready to give it a try. The shorts I had on have a higher waist and a shorter inseam.

[Thighbootguy]

Today has been a great boot day. I left work at noon to travel to Chicago Il. for a seminar tomorrow. When I left work I switched into my black leather thigh boots with 5” stiletto heels and jeans. The fun of driving in heels was tempered by the fact I was driving a rental car and the pedal geometry was a little different than I was used to. I stopped a at a Wendy’s and went in to order a sandwich to go. No one said a word but I think they noticed. When I got to the hotel and checked in, I asked the clerk if my boots would be a problem. I had to step back from the counter quite a bit for her to see what I had on but she said “Not at all” and acted like guys wore thigh boots in all the time. I went out for dinner and stopped in a large mall and wandered around a bit. I did get a negative reaction from one crowd but for the most part no one seemed to care. I went to a family (Greek) restaurant for dinner and again, no one seemed to care what I was wearing. After dinner I went back to the hotel and went into the bar/lounge. I had a nice chat with a couple of the other guys at the bar and no one mentioned or asked about my boots. One worker at the hotel did say, “I really like your boots” as I was riding with her on the elevator. All in all, a great boot day. I’ve been wearing them just like they were any other pair of shoes.

[Thighbootguy]

Well, I’m back home from my trip. Today was the day of my class but before I left the hotel I did have breakfast which was served just off the main lobby. I dressed for the class, long sleeved dress shirt, jeans, black blazer, and for breakfast, my black thigh boots with 5” stiletto heels. When I walked in there was a minor bump in the group conversation, but after a second everyone picked up from where they were. There were a couple of Army guys there in full camouflage and combat boots and I was expecting a comment but it never came. I’m sure they thought I was dressed as oddly as I thought they were. After breakfast I went back to my room and worked for a while. Then I packed up and carried my stuff out to the car. I went back into the lobby to drop off my key and there was a very attractive lady there with a business group. She was very neatly dressed and had on a pair of black 4 - 5” stilettos. She spotted me walking into the lobby and her eyes got real big (as in Woo). She threw me a big smile which I returned. Unfortunately there wasn’t an opportunity to talk to her. In the car I changed into my blue knee boots with a 2” block heel. I wore them under my jeans to the class. After the class I switched back to my thigh boots and drove back to Cincinnati (from Chicago). I had intended to stop for dinner but I was running too late. This was a good trip. I put on my thigh boots when I left work yesterday and wore them everywhere but to class today. Regular shoes are starting to feel funny.

I went out for dinner and stopped in a large mall and wandered around a bit. I did get a negative reaction from one crowd but for the most part no one seemed to care.

If you don't mind my asking, what was the reaction? Sounds like this is a rare thing from reading about your outings, but just curious what it was.

[Thighbootguy]

radiodave -

The bad reaction (bad is from my point of view) came from a group of four or five young people (late teen, early 20s). I think it was four guys and a girl, which is a dangerous combination to start with. The group was large enough for there to be enough collected nerve to make loud comments and laughter.

I’m sure they had a good time at my expense and the only reaction I gave was to walk in areas away from them. Not a big problem, just a bit of an annoyance.

[Stomcat]

I have just discovered this forum so I cannot claim to have read all previous posts but what I have seen agrees with my experiences. I often wear thighboots (not high heel for reasons thast will become obvious) to walk the dogs in the woods adjacent to our property. I do this in the early morning, but still meet other walkers of the forest. They have been, without exception, very accepting and made no comment on my attire. I think most people are quite willing to tolerate any activity that does not threaten them directly. Teenagers are naturally theatened by everything since they are learning the world, so they are dangerous for sure

[Thighbootguy]

Today was a good boot day. To start with its Friday which means jeans at work. I wore a black knit shirt, jeans, and my blue leather knee length boots with a 2” block heel under my jeans.

I’m sure that most of the folks I work with have figured out these are women’s boots and just don’t care. I was sitting by the only lady on our staff in a meeting where someone was expounding a lot of bull cookies and I commented that it was getting deep and I was glad I had my boots on. I got a laugh from her.

We went out for lunch as a group and as we were walking back to the car, one of the guys asked me (in a loud voice), “How long have you had those shoes?”

“Oh, I’ve had them for a long time and just started to wear them again.”

“I haven’t seen that style for 10 years.” I’m not sure he knew what I was wearing but I let things drop right there. No one else paid much attention.

On the way home, I stopped at Sam’s Club to do some shopping. I pulled on my black leather thigh boots with 5” stilettos and walked in. The staff greeted me warmly and I came in.

As I walked around doing my shopping, I noticed a lady with a baby that was wearing black leather over the knee boots with pointed toes and a flat heel. What was striking about the boots was the functional back lacing that went over a tongue that extended past the lacing. I commented that they were nice boots but she seemed to ignore me.

I had seen another very attractive lady in the store that had on a nice pair if heeled sandals. I walked past her in one isle and gave her a smile. After I had passed her I heard her say, “I like your boots.”

I turned back and said, “Thank you very much.” I think I was grinning ear to ear. I said, “I was going to complement you on your heels but I didn’t want to be to forward.”

“Thanks. My feet are killing me, don’t those bother your feet?”

“No, not really. I’m on my fourth set of heel tips and have had them resoled. There really quite comfortable.”

“They must be.”

We went on our ways.

I ran into the lady with the back laced boots and asked her, “Excuse me, but where did you get those boots?” It took her a few seconds to realize I was talking to her and then she replied that she didn’t speak English. I didn’t want to press the issue because I didn’t think she was comfortable talking to me. We both smiled and I left.

Nothing else of note happened but I noticed how really comfortable I feel wearing these boots.

Stomcat -

Welcome to the forum.

That is an interesting observation on teenagers that had never occurred to me.

I wear thighboots with flat heels almost all the time when working around the house and yard. They really are every day wear for me. I wear my high heeled boots when I go out and know I’m going to a tolerant location but I’ll wear the flat heeled boots anywhere.

Enjoy our boots.

[Thighbootguy]

Yesterday I took a day off from work. The goal of the day was to take some stuff to my friend in Portsmouth Oh. And to go out wearing my boots. The temperature has started to get into the mid 80s so working in thigh boots is a bit much. I loaded the car wearing shorts and a T-shirt but I pulled on my thigh boots with 5” stilettos to travel in. On the way I stopped in town to drop off a pair of knee high boots at the cobbler shop. I had to park over a block away from the shop so I walked to the shop wearing shouts and thigh boots. When I got there I saw the sigh that he was on vacation so I walked back to my car and headed on to Portsmouth. Even though there was no parking spaces available, there was no one else walking on the street. There is a large Goodwill on my route to Portsmouth. I changed the shorts for a short black skirt with a built in pair of shorts and walked into the store. A couple of heads turned but everyone was polite and no one said a thing. I have had back problems for years and it was hurting before I loaded stuff into the car. It was bothering me enough now that I decided to call the trip off and headed home. On the way I stopped at the large thrift emporium I often visit and went in wearing boots and short skirt. I was wearing the skirt under the T-shirt so you had to look twice to notice it was a skirt. Again a couple of heads turned but again everyone was polite. One lady did say, “I like your boots.” I thanked her for the complement. Another lady had a kid in her shopping cart and the kid said, “Look at him.” She replied “I see him” in a rather condescending tone. I walked around quite a bit but my back was telling me to go home. Other then the sore back it was a fun (but warm) boot outing.
