JeffB Posted July 1, 2007 Share Posted July 1, 2007 TBG: I'm still amazed that you're going out and about in your thigh boots. We just got over consecutive days in the mid 90's, I wouldn't even think about thinking about wearing boots at this time of year. You continue to amaze me, my friend.

Thighbootguy Posted July 1, 2007 Author Share Posted July 1, 2007 JeffB - Fortunately the high temperature around here has been in the mid 80s so thigh boots are not uncomfortable. The mornings and evenings are much cooler. I agree that the 90’s are too warm for thigh boots. Also consider that I am really only out in the warmth while I’m in the parking lot, going to and from the store. Sam’s is air conditioned. I had forgotten to mention in my last post that I also stopped at a Walgreen’s drug store after going to Sam’s. I had to walk through the store looking for stuff and eventually ask where things were shelved. No one seemed too put out about my boots. Right now I am mentally contrasting this last outing in jeans with the prior one when I wore a skort. I think the reaction was really different. Folks seem to be willing to put up with a guy in thighboots with heels but when you add a add a short (or skirt) to the mix it seems to push the envelope a little too far (at least for the folks around here). I haven’t decided what, if any, effect that is going to have on what I like to wear. I dream of a world where chickens can cross roads without having their motives questioned.

Well, thank goodness for short parking lot walks and air conditioning. Heh! However, the notion of wearing thigh boots in summer is still a difficult concept for me to wrap my mind around. I won't even think about breaking out mine until October at the earliest. Right now I am mentally contrasting this last outing in jeans with the prior one when I wore a skort.

Guest Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 yeah, I'd agree that temps in the 90s are too warm for wearing thighboots (I have knee high blade heel boots by NINE WEST with a 4 inch heel, but I only wear THEM when I have the spare time AND the temp. is not TOO hot) & only in the low 70s-high 60s will I wear my OTHER boots, pictured on the left as my avitar (the black ones) as they are not real leather, & dont really breathe that well when compared to real leather.

Thighbootguy Posted July 11, 2007 Author Share Posted July 11, 2007 I stopped at Sam’s tonight without wearing thighboots. When I was in the parking lot, I pulled on my boots over my slacks and zipped up one but when I went to zip up the other one, the zipper split. I wasn’t about to try walking in those boots with a failed zipper. Anyway, I went in wearing a short sleeved shirt and tan slacks and flat shoes. The greeter noticed things were different (she looked twice) but didn’t say anything. Obviously my shopping got no notice from the other shoppers. At the register, my favorite operator looked three times to see what I was wearing but didn’t say anything. I told her that I had broken a zipper ( I didn’t have to say in what) and she said, “Oh, that’s too bad”. As I was leaving the guy at the door said, “Where’s your boots?” “I broke a zipper.” He didn't miss a beat and said, “I just hate it when that happens.” The comment caught me so off guard I burst out laughing. We bid each other a good evening an I went laughing out into the parking lot. I have since repaired the zipper. Not a good boot outing, but a lot of fun just the same.

JeffB Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 TBG: Your latest outing showed how people, once acclimated to something they see on a regular basis (in your case, the thigh boots) can be thrown off-kilter when that ceratin something is suddenly missing from the equation. Most interesting if I do say so myself. I don't want to LOOK like a woman, I just want to DRESS like a woman! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thighbootguy Posted July 14, 2007 Author Share Posted July 14, 2007 I stopped at Sam’s Club tonight wearing a long sleeved dress shirt, a tan skort, and black leather thigh boots with 5” stilettos. It was either the skort or jeans and with temperatures in the lower 80sF the skort won. Thigh boots really feel neat in warm weather when there is a breeze blowing past and into the top of the boots and it cool your leg all the way down to the knee. Anyway, the last time I wore the skort I noticed folks were paying more attention then when I wore jeans and, like the last time, I seemed to offered more amusement for everyone. Tonight was no different. There was no out and out laughing but one lady was having a very difficult time restraining herself. For the most part lots of folks noticed, but only a few were bothered. No one said a thing. I had lots of time so I wandered around a good bit. I was unable to find several items so I went to the service desk to see if the items were still stocked (they weren’t). At the service desk I was treated as any other customer by the staff but several of the customers seemed to take notice. Notice is generated by contrast. Black boots over jeans do not generate the visual contrast that black boots on white legs generates. The second contrast is a guy in a skort compared to a guy in jeans/slacks (as all the other guys were dressed). If I wanted to blend in, I wouldn’t have been wearing boots and a skort. After Sam’s I stopped and pumped a tank of gas. No one seemed to care. It was an enjoyable outing. I dream of a world where chickens can cross roads without having their motives questioned.

Thighbootguy Posted July 17, 2007 Author Share Posted July 17, 2007 Sunday was a museum day. I went to the art museum wearing a powder blue short sleeved knit shirt, white shorts and black leather thigh boots with 5” stiletto heels. There weren’t many cars in the parking lot so I wasn’t expecting a crowd. When I went inside there was a different guard at the front desk (the guard knew me but it wasn’t his normal station) and there were guards I didn’t know throughout the rest of the museum. The crowd was different than I normally encounter. Somehow they seemed, as a group, a little less tolerant than the group that is normally there. Anyway, I had a good time sketching and the sketching was going well. I also chatted with a few of the patrons about some of the paintings. These folks seemed a little surprised that a guy in thigh boots would be able to carry on a conversation. (I think I’m being a little harsh there.) After the museum I stopped at the large thrift emporium and got a lot of the same reaction. No one spoke to me but I did overhear a “What the h---“. The guy ducked around a clothing rack when I turned around. It may have just been me (but I don’t think so) or it could have been the strong contrast the boots presented. I did enjoy the outing, but if they were all like that I might consider another form of fun. I dream of a world where chickens can cross roads without having their motives questioned.

Thighbootguy Posted August 4, 2007 Author Share Posted August 4, 2007 I’ve been out in my thigh boots a couple of times this past week. I had a couple on non event trips to Sam’s where I did get a comment from a lady in the parking lot, “I cant wear those heels.” I returned a smile and said, “Sure you can, it’s just a matter of practice.” She gave me a nice smile and drove off. I did stop at Bigg’s, and I hadn’t been there for a while so there were lots of folks that had never seen a guy in thigh boots before. Seemed like a lot of them took that opportunity to turn and stare. No one said anything but I got a lot of notice. Today it was hot (98F) and I went to my favorite thrift emporium just to look around. The car is air conditioned as is the store sot the only time I was out in the heat was crossing the parking lot, but that was enough. As I was walking in and Old gentleman with a walker saw my boots and commented, “Cool”. There were two elderly ladies that gave me a big smile and commented to each other, “Well, would you look at that.” I returned the smile and said, “There fun.” In the store I overheard several comments from some guys like, “Damn”, and “They got high heels on em to.” After the shopping trip I went to the Museum for an hour or so and had a great time. On the way home, I stopped at a Bourder’s book store I had never been in before and after searching for a book for 20 minutes I left. I then headed for a Barnes and Nobel bookstore where I found the book I was looking for. There were a few glances in both book stores but that was it. The store didn’t care since I was there to spend money. Anyway today was an enjoyable boot day even if it was quite warm. I dream of a world where chickens can cross roads without having their motives questioned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iloveboots Posted August 4, 2007 Share Posted August 4, 2007 Good to hear from you TBG, missed your posts the past few weeks. Glad you subscribe to the "Boots 365/24/7" belief as we do. There is never a wrong time of year for high heel Boots. Keep on Bootin'!! It is so cool to see someone being themselves and having fun while doing so....the secret to a long life without all those pent up stresses.

Thighbootguy Posted August 5, 2007 Author Share Posted August 5, 2007 Iloveboots - Yeah, I’ve been a slacker about posting. I’m not 365/7/24, more like 100/1.5/4. Most of the time I get to go out any more is one day a weekend. "It is so cool to see someone being themselves and having fun while doing so....the secret to a long life without all those pent up stresses." Thank you for the justification for wearing thigh boots in public. I suspect your more correct than I ever imagined.

JeffB Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 Well, TBG, I continue to admite your devotion, wearing boots in this miserably sticky hot weather. I wouldn't even think about putting on boots until October or November. You are ccertainly one of a kind, my friend! I don't want to LOOK like a woman, I just want to DRESS like a woman!

Thighbootguy Posted August 18, 2007 Author Share Posted August 18, 2007 I stopped at Sam’s last night wearing jeans and my black leather thigh boots with 5” stilettos. The shopping was non eventful. I wandered through the store and got very few reactions at all. In the parking lot, as I was loading my car, a lady walked by and gave a bit of an “Oh” exclamation and said “Those are cute boots”. I beamed back a smile and said, “Why, thank you.” She returned my smile and she and her daughter went on to their car. Now, I’m willing to take any complement I get but “cute” wasn’t the first thing I had in mind but I wasn’t about to argue the point. It made for a fun outing.

Guest Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 well thighbootguy, thats the kind of response that I love as well whenever I go out in my heels (knee-high NINE WEST or DEMONIA that is) good to hear it was fun! for out here where I live (so calif-south orange county) its been too hot & humid to wear any kind of boots.

Thighbootguy Posted August 26, 2007 Author Share Posted August 26, 2007 I stopped at Sam’s Friday night wearing a knit shirt, jeans, and black leather thigh boots with 5” stiletto heels.. Other than the fact it was too hot to wear boots outside for very long, the trip was a non event. I received a friendly greeting at the door and had a nice chat with the register clerk. Other than that I raised no attention as I wandered through the store or the parking lot. I very nice outing.

It was in the upper 90's here in Pennsylvania, I'm sure it must've been equally sticky and steamy in your neck of the woods too. No doubt you can't wait for fall to arrive when it'll be more comfortable for boots. I don't want to LOOK like a woman, I just want to DRESS like a woman!

Thighbootguy Posted September 1, 2007 Author Share Posted September 1, 2007 Went shopping at Sam’s for tires this morning. I was wearing jeans and thigh boots with 5” stilettos. The guys at the tire center didn’t seem to care too much what I was wearing as long as I bought tires. And , yes, I did stand around while they worked on my car. I did get one double take from a lady that was walking by but that was the extent of the reactions. As I was checking out, there was an empty checkout line and the checkout clerk waved me over. She said, “I haven’t seen you in for a while and was wondering if you had started shopping somewhere else.” “I’m normally in on Friday nights.” “Oh, I’m part time and just hadn’t seen you”. “Well, one thing about wearing these, your memorable.” We both laughed. As I was leaving the guy at the door said,” See you got your boots fixed.” (Some time back I was in not wearing boots and commented to him that I had broken the zipper). “Yeah, I did.” “You’ve go two or three pair of them don’t you?” “Five or six actually.” We bid each other a good day. After that I went to a Pet supermarket to by cat litter. I’m not sure what was going on but there were lots of folks sitting on the floor with their pets. I think it was a “free to a good home” day. Anyway, the key phrase is they were sitting on the floor. I did get a couple of looks when I walked by. Other than that, no one paid any attention. It was a good outing.

Thighbootguy Posted September 4, 2007 Author Share Posted September 4, 2007 I'm on a work related trip. I elected to drive from Cincinnati Ohio to Mahwah New Jersey. I didn't take too much longer in total travel time than flying and I enjoy driving more than flying. I travel in jeans and black leather thigh boots with 5” stiletto heels. After ridding for a couple of hours, I stopped at a rest stop just to stretch and get a drink of water. I got a glance or two but that was all. I stopped at a Cracker Barrel for lunch and the staff didn’t even raise an eyebrow. A couple of the other diners gave a second glance but that was it. After I ordered and was waiting for my meal, I walked out of the dinning room to the rest room. While I was in there another guy came in and there was a quick look of surprise on his face but he has thing to do also and went about his business. As I washed my hands, I was reminded that I now stood 6’5” which may be a little imposing. I went back to my table and enjoyed my meal. When I went to the register, again the staff didn’t even seem to notice. As I walked out to the car I noticed one guy turning his head. I found I really did feel like I was just wearing a good looking pair of boots and not doing anything extraordinary and that was the image I presented. I stopped for gas and the guy at the pump behind me didn’t even look twice. A couple hours later I stopped at an interstate rest stop to use the rest room. It was much the same as the Cracker Barrel, no one seemed to be bothered. Since this was a business trip, I changed into flats before I went into the hotel and went to dinner with my co-workers. The work we are doing allows casual dress so I’m working in jeans and blue leather boots with 2” heels and I’m wearing them under my jeans. By the way, I forgot to mention I also have a pair of leather driving gloves with me. Ok, so there shoulder length, but I wore them while I was driving. It looks like I’ll be on my own for dinner tonight so I’ll get to wear my thigh boots for dinner. This might be a fun trip.

Thighbootguy Posted September 5, 2007 Author Share Posted September 5, 2007 I did make it out to dinner wearing my thigh boots. I walked into the restaurant and just got a couple of glances. I was seated, had fair meal, and left. That’s really all there was to it. None of the other diners seemed to either notice or, is they did notice, they didn't seem to care. Maybe the fact that I’m in New Jersey has something to do with the reactions I don’t get. I dream of a world where chickens can cross roads without having their motives questioned.

tallguyinheels Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 You just always amaze me TBG... You do mention one of the things I enjoy most about wearing a significant heel. That is, you get to tower over people. 5" heels elevate the top of my head to a bit over 6'8", and today at the bank cue I happened to behind a rather short hispanic woman - well under 5' tall - the top of her head is mid belly! In my more discrete fashion preference, no one seemed to even notice the heels. This reminds me, I have some new leather heels I was wearing, today. It seems to take 20 or more hours of wearing to "break-in" the heels until the become totally comfortable - do you have any ways to speed the process up that doesn't hurt a leather shoe?

Thighbootguy Posted September 9, 2007 Author Share Posted September 9, 2007 We had an unreal work 4 days which included two 24hiur shifts so there wasn’t too much time for booting around. When I did go out I wore jeans, a short sleeved knit shirt and black leather thigh boots with 5” stilettos. All the rest of the time, while I was working, I wore blue leather boots with a 2” heel under my jeans. At work, while I was sitting back from a table with my legs crossed so that me ankle was resting over my knee, the guy next to me asked if the heel on my cowboy boots was comfortable. I said they were and that they weren’t really cowboy boots, they were a little taller than that. He continued to refer to them as cowboy boots. I don’t think he was ready to accept that a guy would be wearing anything other than cowboy boots. I did manage to go to lunch at the same diner. This time when I walked in there were two ladies sitting on a bench by the front door. As I walked by them they gave me a smile but I got to see them in a reflection from the front door and they really were staring in disbelief/amazment/amusment… In the restaurant I got a nice smile from one of the waitresses but other than that you would think guys walked in wearing thigh boots all the time. Both of the dinning experiences at this restaurant were miserable because of the way the management treated the staff. I found the constant bickering and carping (in front of the customers) disturbing but it may just be a local custom because the place was busy. On the trip home, driving from 50 miles west of New York to Cincinnati, I wore my boots. I stopped at several interstate rest stops and used the rest room at each one. At one stop there was a row of guys using the urinals and I walked in and used an open one. No one said a word. I stopped at two Cracker Barrel restaurants, for breakfast and lunch, and several folks noticed but I had an enjoyable meal at both. Every once in a while I’d hear a snicker or two but a glance in the direction with an “Oh, what’s the joke?” look on my face seemed to convey the message that I wasn’t embarrassed at a all. I also stopped at a Bob Evans and was ignored by the staff. I don’t think this had anything to do with my boots, it was just bas service. I walked out and went to a Cracker Barrel. There were a couple of stops for gas which were also non events. The trip was just a long drive in a good looking pair of boots. tallguyinheels – Being 6’5” at a urinal was a different experience too.

Thighbootguy Posted September 11, 2007 Author Share Posted September 11, 2007 Sunday I went to the museum and the thrift emporium wearing a T-shirt, white shorts and black leather thigh boots with 5” stilettos. Both trips were uneventful. The folks at the museum greeted me like an old friend. There was a new person at one of the front desks that really lit up when she saw me (must have been my boots). At the thrift store there were a few giggles, but that’s par for the course. On the way home I stopped at a gas station I had never been to before. The place was packed. Many folks didn’t even notice what I had on. One guy at the next pump seemed to disapprove but he didn’t say anything. Just another outing in good looking boots. iibb – Those chap boots are great. I have a pair but I had to have the heel lowered ½” to be able to walk in them. I hope the dog appreciated the walk.

Thighbootguy Posted September 12, 2007 Author Share Posted September 12, 2007 I stopped in Biggs (large grocery) after work last night. I hadn’t been in the store for months and the personnel had changed. I was wearing light colored slacks, and a long sleeved dress shirt, and black leather thigh boots with 5” stiletto heels. Contrast is what attracts attention and light slacks in black thigh boots makes for contrast. Even at that, many folks didn’t notice or they chose to ignore me. I didn’t get any gawking or comments as I walked through the store. At the checkout there was a young lady who had never seen me before and she gave me a cool reception. She had on a new pair of glasses so after she gave me my change I said, “The glasses work well.” “What?” (She thought I had asked “Do your glasses work well”) and she gave me a very puzzled look. “Those glasses look very well on you.” “Oh,.thank you.” and she blossomed with a big smile. I think I dispelled her notion that the guy in thigh boots was a real weirdo, at least he could give a complement. It was a fun shopping trip.

Thighbootguy Posted September 20, 2007 Author Share Posted September 20, 2007 I had the opportunity to take another trip from Cincinnati to Portsmouth O. yesterday. I wore a dark short sleeved knit shirt, black exercise pants (not tight bit a lot of stretch) and black leather thigh boots with 5” stilettos. This is a another trip similar to the one I wrote about in http://www.hhplace.org/discuss/141490-post142.html '> two very different outings, except this time I didn’t bother with the skirt. I stopped at the same gas station where I was nervous the last time and I felt just fine this time. I stopped at a Lowe’s hardware store I had never been in before. There were a few looks of surprise on the faces of the staff but they were all courteous and helpful. There were a couple of muffled comments made by other customers that thought I was completely out of hearing range. There were also two guys that must have really had a problem with a guy in heels. One of the guys had a cell phone camera and was smirking to the other guy over the picture. As I walked by them I commented, “Most people are polite enough to ask first.” Neither of them said anything. The other guy of the pair had his shirt on inside out but I didn’t bother to mention it to him. One other lady saw me walking toward her and I saw her look me over and take a second look at my boots then she just shook her head and gave me a smile. I also stopped in a Goodwill that was in the area but it was a non event. On the way home the temperature reached the 90s and that was too warm to wear thigh boots for long. All in all it was a nice trip I dream of a world where chickens can cross roads without having their motives questioned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
