Great pics! :w00t2:

Since Spring's finally back around the corner, I'm going to start wearing my own heels out again. I wanted to street-heel this winter, but I was more concerned about keeping warm than challenging fashion stereotypes.

I found an interesting video about two German female reporters trying various styles of boots, including thigh boots. ;-)

Unfortunately, I don't speak German but from what I can pick out of the conversations, it sounds like they had a lot of fun with their assignment. Regardless, there are some great images in the video.

Very nice video Thighbootguy :-) and thank you for sharing

Too bad I don't understand the comments they were saying about their boots but they seems to like them.

The few words I was able to hear are "Jeans", "Perfect" and "Gucci". Very nice boots and very nice girls too !

I would not mind learning from them a few German words... :w00t2:

If you ever find this video translated or subtitled in French or English, you know what to do !

Over the weekend I went out shopping wearing jeans and black leather thigh boots with 5” stilettos. First stop was my cobbler to pick up a pair of knee high boots I was having resoled and reheeled. I found out that he is going out of business after 40 years. I guess all my heel tips were not enough to keep him going. Second was the pet food store which was uneventful and third was Sam’s which was also uneventful. My last stop was at a Goodwill where an older black lady commented, “Nice boots”. I thanked her and continued browsing around. A young man (16) was with his parents and judging from his reaction, had never seen a pair of thigh boots before but definitely not on a guy. The reaction was a chin dropped stare that went from my head to toe. The idea that he couldn’t believe his eyes occurred to me. I didn’t say a word and just continued shopping. I found a couple of classical CDs so the trip wasn’t for naught. I mentioned in an earlier post that I had found a pair of “lamb leather pants for $8 “. I let the waist out a bit and found then to fit nicely. The leg is a boot cut style and I thought I would try them out this afternoon. I wore them with a turtleneck and black knee high boots with a 3” block heel worn under the pants. I stopped in Sam’s to pick up a few things and no one even seemed to notice. I will admit to having a weakness for leather but wearing them felt great. Thanks for the kind words about the video I found. :winkiss:

Two things that result of bad economic times. One is that people repair their automobiles and keep them going longer because it's less expensive than purchasing a new one. Another sign of a bad economy is that people tend to have their old shoes repaired so they don't have to spend what little money they have to purchase a new pair.

If you have an opportunity perhaps you can revisit him and encourage him to wait a couple of more months before he shutters his doors. Business is bound to improve the way things look.

Being mentally comfortable in your own mind is the key to wearing heels in public.

Yet in my case, I repaired the heel tips simply because they don't make boots of this style and shape any more, not for economic reasons. I see a lot of very pointy boots with very skinny heels. But if they ever bring back my favorite style of boot, I would have at least another pair in black.

Nice video, but need to see more of the heels, I like to see guys in heels (but not in a sexual way) I'am sure you all know what I mean.

Once again I agree with Bubba on people fixing up their cars instead of buying new ones during economic hard times. I have seen a much greater number of older cars on the road of late during my commutes back and forth to the Science Center. It makes great sense to use up available mileage left in the older cars rather than have a big payment on a new one at these times. Even though there may be some great deals from the new car dealers at this time, I, like many are putting off buying a new car for a year or longer than I usually do. Cheers--- Dawn HH

I did my weekend shopping this afternoon. I went out wearing a long sleeved black V neck top, black leather jacket, light blue jeans, and black leather thigh boots with 5” stilettos. The first stop was Sam’s. As I walked across the parking lot, a lady passenger in a van almost hurt her neck turning around to see me. I threw her a smile and went on into the store. I was taking my time wandering around and from behind me I heard, “Oh, I love those boots!” I turned around and the lady optician gave me a big smile and a nod. I said, “there fun.” and I struck a pose, showing off the heel. “I’ll bet they are.” And we headed our ways. A lady in the checkout line and I chatted about several barging we had found, just like I was any other customer. Next, I stopped at the nearby Goodwill but didn’t se anything I wanted. Lastly, I went to my favorite thrift emporium and I’m starting to think I’ve started a cure. There was a pair of brown suede 5 pocket jeans for $5, and a brown suede skirt for $4, both in size 16 and I passed them up. I already have both garments and didn’t need seconds. The temperature was a little over 60F and that is getting close to the time for wearing shorts. At least it is if you’re also wearing thigh boots. Fun outing. :winkiss:

Some in here called for some translation. Well it's a little too much text to put it all down. The whole vid is (obviously) about two girls trying out overknee boots. The two are quite well known here but you can call them (in want for a better word) B-class stars. They are testing every thing from cheap plastic boots by a discouter (49 EUR) up to handmade Italian calf leather boots for 1500 EUR. Talking about the fit on the thigh/knee ect., pointy or round style, stretch or not, heel height and form, combination with midi, midi or long skirts and skinny jeans. In the end they both opt for the discounter boots with the skinny jeans.

I hope this helps you a little

Today was Saturday shopping. I went shopping wearing a grey T shirt, a blue sweat band, blue denim shorts with a leather lace up each side, grey hose, and black leather thigh boots with 5” stilettos. The boots have a lace on the back from the knee to the top that works well with the lace on the shorts. This outfit was about showing off the boots. The temperature was in the mid 70sF and the contrast in temperature of cool hose and warm boots felt great. The first stop was Sam’s where I stopped for gas and pumped it, then, headed for the store. Walking in felt very natural and didn’t seem to turn too many heads. All the clerks that saw me waved and said Hi, even the ones that were doing their own shopping. I wandered around and got my stuff. At the checkout I told the clerk, who I knew, that wearing these boots with sorts was all about showing off the boots. She laughed and we bid each other a good day. In the parking lot I overheard a little girl asking her Mom, “Is that a girl?” I gave the kid a nice smile and kept going. I don’t think her Mom said a word. Next I stopped at the near by Goodwill. The clerks there are starting to recognize me and they also waved and said Hi. Becoming a regular in a store is a good thing. I shopped around for a while and bought some stuff and headed back out to my car. I dove across town to my favorite thrift emporium, parked and walked in. Again I wandered around and spoke with a few folks. I found some hose that looked like it would be big enough. The last stop was Hanover Fabrics. My thigh boots are sporting a 4” extension that almost makes them crotch boots except they slide down to thigh boots height. I bought some elastic band I’m going to install just below the knee to keep the boots all the way up. I’ve made this modification to several other pairs of thigh boots and it works like a dream. All in all a great first outing in shorts of the season. :winkiss:

Today was a museum day. I haven’t been to the art museum for a long time and really have missed it. I went over wearing a gray T-shirt , blue denim shorts, and black leather thigh boots with 5” stilettos.

According to JeffB I have been doing some outrageous things lately (Boots and skirts in public in the General fashion section) but this outing felt really comfortable. The boots really do feel like just another pair of shoes, considering the temperature was in the low 80sF, they wear a warm pair, but other than that, nothing special.

I parked on the street way down the hill from the museum and climbed a set of stone steps and a path up to the museum. The heels made that walk interesting.

In the museum I spent an hour wandering around and sketching and having a great time. The boots and shorts felt great.

When I finished I had to walk down the path and the steps to get to my car. The heels made that more interesting then going up the.

On the way home I stopped at my favorite thrift emporium and as I walked in there was a group of high school skate boarders one of whom lost it yelling, “LOOK” at the rest of the group. I ignored them.

All in all a nice outing.

NH Heels - thanks for the kind words.

I went shopping at Sam’s today wearing a gray T-shirt, denim shorts with a 1” inseam, and black leather thigh boots with 5” stilettos. This outfit is all about wearing boots, but the whole thing does work together nicely. I got a few turned heads but other than that, shopping was uneventful. I stopped for gas (self service) and as I was finishing, an older black gentleman at the next pump asked me for help. He had never used the self service pump before. I showed him how to run the transaction and he thanked me (and not a mention of my boots). Next I went to a Kroger’s (grocery) that I had never been in before. I did notice people peering around the end of the isle to get a look and there were several outbreaks of gayety that I may have contributed to. In the register line the lady behind me said, “Looks like I’m following you.” (I had seen her at Sam’s.) I replied, “Well, I guess these are kind of hard to miss.” And we both laughed. Tonight I went to a different Kroger’s, still wearing my shorts and boots. There were a few turned heads and some nice smiles. Another fun day out and about. :winkiss:

I have started riding my bicycle (27" touring) again after a 7 year hiatus and, although it is good for me, my old body is letting me know I haven’t done this for a while. I find it more comfortable to ride in cooler weather (60-75F) so I wear leggings or pants rather than biker shorts. With pants, you have to have some way of keeping the pant cuff from getting caught in the front sprocket; my solution is knee high boots!

I have been riding three times now wearing either black leggings of pants, a black long sleeved top under a gray T-shirt, black knee high boots with a 2” slim heel and a helmet. My rides have been early morning and around noon.

The outfit is very comfortable for riding, and with the exception of the boots, it is close to what the other riders are wearing. No one seems to notice the boots (black on black so there is no contrast). I even peddled through a crowd going to a concert at the band shell in the park.

This old video shows the area where I was riding, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vQIpfZbfUEE'> Thighbootguy Takes a Walk in the Park

Just for grins, I did go for a mile wearing my black leather thigh boots with 5” stilettos. There was hardly any one around so there were no reactions. I was concerned that the heel would be too long and touch the ground when my foot was at the bottom of the stroke but there was still several inches of clearance. As hard as my legs are working when I’m ridding (generating a lot of heat), thigh boots may not the best choice for ridding, but it was fun.

I was just thinking back at least 15 years ago when I was ridding a lot and I remembered that I used to ride very early (before the sun was up) wearing black leggings and black leather over the knee boots with 3” stiletto heels. It was way to dark for anyone to notice what I was wearing. Back then hills were not a problem (as they are now) so I wasn’t as concerned about what I could do while I was ridding. Today, at least until I get back into shape, I’m a little more cautious about where I ride.

Crotchboots-M – The guy at the gas pump was an older gentleman and the pump at Sam’s operates a little differently than normal self service pumps so I think the problem was the pump not my boots. He really didn’t seem phased by my footwear and was really glad for the help.

I just got back from a fourth biking in boots outing. It was cool (53F) and lightly raining so I had the park to myself. I wore the black leggings with the black knee high boots. Each time I go out I add a couple of miles to my route so it won’t be too long until I’m back to normal ridding. (Please note the great leap of optimism in that last statement.) Since I almost had the park to myself, I tried my thigh boots again and went for about a mile. Although I love wearing them, they just aren’t practical for pedaling a bike. I switch back to the knee highs and did a couple more miles. I like to ride around 15-20 MPH which isn’t too bad for a casual rider. A serious rider would pass me even if they were ridding their stationary exercise bike but the pace makes me work to keep it up. I decided to try a serious hill so I dumped the bile into its lowest gear and headed up. About half way up, it became time to walk and I realized how hard I had been pushing myself. I got off the bike and was staggering around trying to walk up the hill, and it had nothing to do with the fact I was wearing heels either. My legs were so fatigued that stopping and just standing for a minute or two seemed like a good idea. I love ridding but the boots make it even more fun.

I went to a concert last night with several hundred people in attendance. It was a great guitar show and I had a blast wearing my black leather thigh boots with 5” stilettos. I wore them over jeans with a dark blue turtleneck and a black blazer.

There were several folks that gave a second glance but nothing more than that. The concert organizer recognized me (or at least my boots) from previous concerts and offered me a warm greeting.

If there are any guitar nuts within several hundred miles of Cincinnati, O., I strongly recommend the upcoming concert with Tommy Emmanuel, Sept 4 and 5, 2009.

I’ve just gotten home from one of the most extraordinary evenings on my entire life! I went to a guitar workshop put on by Muriel Anderson who is one of the best finger picking style guitarists in the world. There wee fewer than a dozen of us at the workshop and I managed to get the front row center seat. She conducted the workshop sitting three feet in front of me. I actually had to change to my computer glasses to see clearly, my distance glasses just didn’t work that close.

After the workshop she put on a concert and just blew the audience away.

I’m posting this here because I wore a dark blue turtleneck, jeans, and my black leather thigh boots with 5” stilettos.

I got to the workshop about 15 minutes before they were ready to start and wound up standing outside chatting with some of the other guitarist. After we went in to the hall, I grabbed the best seat (there really weren’t any bad ones).

When Muriel came out the she moved her chair off the performance platform and down to the floor right in front of me and said with this small a crowd we could be very informal. The next thing she said was, “I really like your boots!”

I managed a, “Thank you.”

“I wasn’t expecting the creek to rise that much,” (joking about the height of my boots) and got a good natured chuckle from me and the folks around me.

As the evening went on, I managed to talk to most of the other folks at the concert, including the promoters, who recognized me from the Sunday night concert, and I encouraged them to have Muriel back again (as did everyone else).

I’m still numb from the experience of the workshop and concert and that has nothing to do with boots or heels. I was very comfortable wearing my boots and the crowd didn’t seem uncomfortable being around a guy who was wearing them either.

This really was one of the most memorable evenings of my life.

I'm glad you had a great time. Not only is she a looker but she has the "nice person" look as well. I'd be more than happy to receive a compliment about my boots from her, as I'm sure many guys would. Those guitars of hers are "sick"!
