Thigh Boots in Public

[Thighbootguy]

Maxinilian –

Muriel really does come across as a sincerely “nice person”. Her direct interaction with our small group and the way she handles a large audience wouldn’t work if there was any projection of “being a phony”.

I am still flying high after the workshop, and the boots have nothing to do with that feeling. I was astounded with what she was able to do with a guitar and I’m still fighting the urge to turn mine into firewood.

The guitars she is displaying on her site are custom built instruments. The classical 6 string has rosewood sides and a very thin top so it sounds like an aged guitar even though it is relatively new. The large instrument is a harp guitar which is a classical 6 string with 7 additional base strings. The one she plays is a “practice size” instrument because, as she said about the full sized one, “It was too heavy for me to play.”

What a nice evening and concert you got ! The sound must be amazing being so close to her (I envy you...) I agree with you: It will be a memorable event ! It would be my dream to go to a similar concert to hear a 12 stings classical guitar player...Wow !

Just a quick note on a couple of recent outing.

Friday was my normal shopping after work. I stopped at Pets and Such, Walgreen’s and Sam’s wearing a short sleeved knit shirt, jeans, and black leather crotch high boots with 5” stilettos.

I have been to all three stores many times and all three were non events. I was just another customer spending money. The staff in all three recognized me and greeted me warmly. There were even a few off duty staffers at Sam’s that were doing their own shopping, that went out of their way to say Hi.

Saturday, I went out on my bicycle wearing black leggings, a gray T-shirt a 14” skirt and black knee high boots with 2” slim heels. The boots keep my leggings out of the chain. My legs were telling me today was not the day so after 4 miles I headed back home.

Sunday I went to Lunkin Play field that has a bike path around Lunken airport. This as about a 7 mile path and I took it twice. I was wearing the same outfit with the addition of a black long sleeved top under the T-shirt. Most folks didn’t seem bothered about a biker wearing boots, the skirt almost looks like a pair of shorts. I did pass one family and one of the kids (12-14) let out with a “What the”, and cut it short either because he was a good kid of because his mother and father were standing right beside him.

After 14 miles my legs were tired and I was walking a little funny (nothing to do with the heels) but I changed into my tall boots with the 5” stilettos and drove to my favorite thrift emporium. I wandered through wearing the skirt and boots and found some hose for 90¢. Two young guys walked passed me and one of them noticed what I was wearing (no telling where is buddy’s head was) and he pulled on his buddy’s sleeve to get him to look at me. I gave them a smile (with a bit of a smirk under it).

The warmth of the tall leather boots felt good on my tired legs.

I’m gonna have to put a lot more miles on that bike it get back in shape again. Boots and a skirt might make it more fun.

danielp6406 –

The instrument is a harp guitar with 13 strings (6 classical nylon string guitar + 7 additional base strings) rather than a 12 string classical. I have never seen that configuration except in a steel string guitar. There is a picture of the instrument on Muriel Andersons web site.

[Thighbootguy]

I went ridding at Lunken again this morning. Another 14 miles and I’m starting to feel the effects… I don’t hurt as much. I was still walking funny when I got off the bike. Today I wore a grey hose (completely hidden but warm), a grey T-shirt over a black long sleeved top, black leggings, a longer (lower thigh) denim skirt, and black leather over the knee boots with flat heels. The temperature was in the upper 60sF and a light rain was falling. I thought I’d have the trail to myself, but that was not the case. There were lots of other folks walking and jogging. No one seemed concerned about a guy in boots. After the ride I took off the leggings and pulled on my tall boots with 5” stilettos and stopped by my favorite thrift emporium. I wandered around and the place was packed with customers many of whom did a double take. As I was heading to the register area I overheard a gal in one line comment, “Those boots are hot…I want a pair.” There was considerable giggling a chuckling after that so I got into the same line. When I got to the cashier I said, “I agree with your earlier customer, I think the boots are hot to.” “Oh, you heard her…I didn’t even see your boots.” So I stepped back from the counter so she could see them. “Those are nice.” “Thank you…their fun that’s why I wear them.” “I’ll bet they are.” We completed the transaction and she invited me back to the store and we bid each other a good day.

I’m on vacation again this week and I’ve got to learn how to plan a vacation because I obviously don’t know how to do it. I managed to schedule a root canal dental procedure for today. At least it provided an opportunity to go out. I went to the dentist wearing a black long sleeved V neck top, jeans, and blue knee high boots with 2” block heels under the jeans. I’ve worn boots to the dentist before and neither he not his assistant has ever mentioned it. On the way home, I changed the jeans for an off white mid thigh skort and the blue boots for black leather pull on thigh boots with 4” stilettos and grey hose. I stopped at WallGreen’s pharmacy, two Goodwills and Sam’s. This outfit seemed to attract more attention than I normally get. I suspect it was the contrast of the off white skort and the black boots and top. WallGreen’s and the first Goodwill were a non events. In the second Goodwill I noticed a lady just staring at me so I nodded and went on my way. I’m not sure she has been dealt a full deck because a few moments later she called to me from across the store,”Hey Mister, can I take your picture?” She walked over and I stopped so she could take her picture then she said, “Ah, my cell phone battery is dead.” I shrugged and walked away. She left the store a few seconds before I did and when I walked out she was saying to another lady, who was going into the store, “Oh you can’t miss him.” She shut up as soon as she saw me and I walked on to my car. In Sam’s I just seemed to be the object of more attention than I am used to getting. I saw my reflection a couple of times and the long sleeved black top, off white short and tall black boots did look a little out of balance. The outfit needed a jacket or something to break the stark contrast. The temperature was in the low 80s F. so the jacket was out of the question. Next time I’ll try either shorts or a short denim skirt. Oh well, the outing was still as fun as a root canal can be.

[crotchboots-m]

ive worn my black leather high heel crotch boots with total black fetish leather to the dentist several times.

[Bubba136]

ive worn my black leather high heel crotch boots with total black fetish leather to the dentist several times.

Has he ever asked you why you are wearing a wet suit whenever you come to his office?

(little humor, there )

[crotchboots-m]

no problem,bubba. ive had a few people ask similar questions when i go swimming dressed like that,though. one kid asked me if my gear was waterproof. one lady asked me if the leather etc was ruined by getting them wet. i told her that proper drying was the key(i use a peets boot dryer for the boots).

[Thighbootguy]

Like I said, I gotta learn how to take a vacation. I had another go-around with the dentist and I wore basically the same outfit; jeans, black V-neck long sleeved top, blue leather boots with 2”block heels under my jeans. I thought about wearing my thigh boots with 4” stilettos but discretion won out (sorry crotchboots-m). After the dentist I went shopping for a lawn mower (my previous mower having recently been stolen). I changed the blue boots for my thigh boots with 4” stilettos over my jeans and stopped in a Home Depot where I was ignored. I am not used to that reaction but the greeter at the door ignored me, the sales folks in the mower area ignored me even though I was looking at every more on display (as in lifting them up to look under the deck). I found a more that would suit my needs and looked around for someone and finding no one, I walked out of the store. The next stop was Lowe’s where I got much the same treatment but I didn’t see anything I wanted. The last stop was a different Home Depot. When I got out of the car there was an employee in the parking lot (who could have had a part in Deliverance) who gave me as close to a mean stare as I have ever gotten. In the store, the clerks didn’t go out of their way to ignore me, there just weren’t any around. Anyway, I found a rebuilt mower I wanted but there was no price and the accessories were not with the mower so I went to find a clerk. She was very nice and got the price and called someone from the department to get the accessories. He got there and found the stuff and promptly left and a third clerk finally rang up the sale. In the parking lot a complete stranger offered to kelp me get the mower into my car. I don’t know what the problem was today. Normally my boots don’t cause a problem but it might have been the V-neck top, it is long sleeved, solid black and a stretch fabric so it does looks a bit fem. After I got home I needed to use the mower. It was too hot to work in boots (low 80sF with higher humidity) so I cut one yard wearing shorts and the same top, and the other yard wearing a 14” denim skirt with the same top. The skirt wins for comfort.

[Thighbootguy]

Finally a decent vacation day. I don’t have a dentist appointment and the temperature is in the 70sF with low humidity! I pulled on a black long sleeved V neck top, blue denim shorts and black leather pull on thigh boots with 4” stilettos and headed out the door. The first stop was K- Mart for a bike inner tube. I haven’t been in that store for years. No one seemed bothered by my appearance, curious but not bothered. Next I headed for my favorite thrift emporium. As I was walking across the parking lot I got a couple of whistles from three older ladies ( I was just as surprised by the whistles as they were bu the boots). I just smiled, shook my head and kept walking. In the store I found a pair of brown leather Naturalizer boots size 11 for $3. I headed back home and loaded my bike onto my car (with the newly installed inner tube) and headed for the Loveland bike trail. I stopped in the bike shop in Milford Ohio to pick up a spare tire tube. I had been in there a week before with my boots on so they didn’t seem too surprised. When I get out of the car in the trail’s parking lot I do get a couple of looks. Bikers and joggers do wear all sorts of different stuff but none of them wear thigh boots with heels. There was a couple in the lot and the lady said this was their first tome on this bike trail and ask me for recommendations and what the trail was like. We chatted for a minute and I headed out on the trail. I went 10 miles out and turned around to head back and met the couple from the parking lot. Three miles later I ran over a piece of glass and the front tire went almost flat. It was then that I discovered my tire pump was not working so I road seven mile on an almost flat tire. I road on the flat tire because that was easier than walking seven miles in 4” heels (easier on me and the boots). I stopped in the bike shop again and had them fix the tire. This is a busy shop and bikers were going in and out all the time I was there. I got a couple of glances. The last stop was at a United Dairy Farmer for giant milk shake. Great outing if you only count the fact that I was wearing boots the whole time.

[Thighbootguy]

I have created two new videos:

Thighbootguy goes for a bike ride

and

Thighbootguy makes garlic chicken

After I shot the biking video, which took over an hour, I went on to the Lunken bike trail and road another 7 miles in the same outfit without the gray T-shirt. I’m starting to think you can wear anything if your on a bike.

[Shoeboi]

I love wearing my boots in public. I try to wear them as much as possible.

[crotchboots-m]

shoeboi...care to elaborate on that...like where,what kind of boots,etc...and the reactions you get,etc?

[roniheels]

I love wearing my boots in public. I try to wear them as much as possible.

I still have not worn my high heeled thigh boots over my jeans in public. I have worn them under my jeans and taken many a walk in them. Still trying to get up the nerve to do it.

[Thighbootguy]

Sunday – Went biking at Lunken airport playfield and road 20 or so miles wearing a black long sleeved top, blue denim shorts, gray hose and black leather thigh boots with 4” stiletto heels. The folks on the bike path either ignored me or were quite friendly except for one clown (who I suspect that his elevator didn’t go all the way to toe top) who got up on his peddles to keep me from passing him. I passed by him a fey hundred yards later without comment. I had a great time!

The geometry of a bike has to be adjusted to fit the rider. After 10 miles I stopped and raised the seat about 2 inches to let my leg extend more as I peddled. About 10 miles later I raised it another inch. This meant that my knee almost goes straight as I peddle. It also means that for my feet to touch the ground when I stop I have to bend my foot as though I was wearing 6” heels.

Monday – Back to work wearing brown slacks, white shire and brown suede knee high boots with a 3” blade heel. I had another dental appointment this afternoon and after crotchbooth-m’s suggestion I wore my boots over my slacks. The combination did look good but neither the dentist nor his assistant made any comment. I was kind of disappointed.

Roniheels - You gotta try it. It's great fun

[JeffB]

I still have not worn my high heeled thigh boots over my jeans in public. I have worn them under my jeans and taken many a walk in them. Still trying to get up the nerve to do it.

I agree with TBG, you just have to give it a try! Wearing thigh boots over jeans is great fun, I've done it a few times and found the experience very enjoyable, even got a couple of compliments on my boots. Sure, doing it for the first time can be unnerving, but once you're out there, you'll wonder what took so long to do it!

[Thighbootguy]

I had another dental appointment this morning. I went in wearing a blue dress shirt, brown slacks with brown knee high boots over my slacks. The boots have a 3” stack heel and a lacing detail on the seams. Again, there was no reaction to my foorwear. When I went back to work I put the boots under my slacks. No one seems to mind my wearing boots at work but I don’t want to push my luck too far. I’m considering wearing my taller boots for the next appointment.

[Dawn HH]

TBG:-) I enjoyed your 2 new videos as usual. I'm just getting back to posting again after my shoulder and arm surgery. Cheers--- Dawn HH

[Thighbootguy]

Dawn HH - Thanks for the kind words and it's great to have you back again. Here is hoping all is well. TBG

[Thighbootguy]

I stopped at the GoodWill today at lunch and found a pair of black denim slacks that were labeled as “low-rise size 15 skinny”. These slacks are stretchy denim that are designed to fit like denim panty hose. There are even long zippers on the ankles to close the cuff very tightly. I wore these slack with black leather thigh boots with 4” stiletto heels and a light grey turtleneck that was not tucked into the slacks. It really was a two color outfit, light grey top and black bottom which thought really looked good. I stopped at PetsSmart for some cat food and at Sam’s for a quick shopping trip. I got a couple of nice smiles form some of the ladies. My cashier friend said the looked Ok but she really didn’t like tight fitting clothing. Regardless of how it looked, it felt great to wear. I’m going to have to try these slacks when I go biking.

[Thighbootguy]

I went shopping today at a Goodwill, PetsMart, and Sam’s wearing a black long sleeved V neck top, a kaki 14” skort, and black leather pull on thigh boots with 4” stiletto heels. The V neck top is a very fem looking top… but I guess the skort and the boots are to. Whatever, the combination looks nice and I’m very comfortable wearing it. All three of these stores know me so there wasn’t any reaction from the staff. In the Goodwill a couple of young boys made an effort to keep me in sight, when they weren’t gathered in huddled whispers. Oh well, at that age I guess I would of reacted the same way. I did find a couple of wide belts ( 3” – 4”) that I think will enhance a couple of outfits. In PetsMart the clerks know me and were very helpful. Sam’s was much the same. A couple of customers glanced my way and I got a couple more smiles from some of the ladies. I knew the register operator (she had previously advised me to accessorize) and she said the outfit was an “improvement”. I’m not sure over what it was an improvement, but I took the remark as a complement. This afternoon I had to go to a hardware store and I was close to the Home Depot where I bought the lawn mower so I headed in. The only thing different is that I was wearing denim shorts rather than the skort. The clerk from “Deliverance” was in the parking lot again and gave me the same start he did the last time. (I think I understand why the store keeps him in the parking lot rather than in the store.) This time the greeter welcomed me to the store but she had to ask someone where the item I wanted was located. One of the young female clerks knew and directed me to the isle, which was all the way across the store. If I were not comfortable in this outfit it would have been panic time but I thanked the clerk and the greeter and headed across the store. I found my item and two other clerks asked if I needed any help. I asked both of them questions about the use and disposal of the item (hand held propane cylinder) then headed for the register. At the register, the operator was the same female clerk that had given me directions. I thanked her again for being spot on with her directions. She commented that she thought it was hot in the store. “Really, I’m quite comfortable.” “I don’t see how you can wear black.” “Well, If I don’t wear long sleeves, I go up like a french fry.” We both laughed and I bid her a good day and headed for my car. I dumped my purchase in the car and walked over to the store’s garden center and looked through the tomato plants. I selected one and headed for the garden center registers. One clerk greeted me but she was busy so another clerk called me over to his register. All in all it was a very pleasant shopping experience.

[Dawn HH]

TBG:-) Thanks a bunch for your concern. Mickey and I both want to stay healthy for the rest of the Summer so that we can attend and have fun at the up coming Greater Pittsburgh Heel Meet and be able to greet you all. Once again I enjoyed your outing stories and live vicariously through you and a few others here that need no mentioning at the present time as we all know who they are. I just wish that I could be one of them. Keep up the good work and keep the stories coming. Great reading. Cheers--- Dawn HH

Hi again all, first post for a little while. I don't mean to hijack the thread at all but I had an interesting outing the other night. Went for a stroll through Peterborough the other night, and took both my patent thigh boots (the ones in my avatar) and another pair that I've just bought that are a matt finish with a 4.5" heels, 3/4 zip and lace-up back. Wore both pairs the other evening in full view over my jeans. Went to George and Asda, and got many looks although not one person made a comment. Wandered round the entire store, a couple of girls started laughing but from what I overheard they were just surprised to see me in my thigh high boots, but by the sounds of it thought I carried them off well. Went to the huge Tesco later on too, so had to walk through the indoor precinct. I don't know why but I find it intriguingly sexy to see my boots in the reflection of all the glass windows. Anyway, whilst wandering round again I got a lot of looks, and also some positive comments from a couple of girls in there. I had two walks round the store, once in my patents and the other in my new matt thigh high boots, as I wanted to see what reactions they got. Got a couple of wolf-whistles from some young 'uns (couple of lads with a few lasses) so turned round and gave a wiggle and a smile (heh heh). After this I decided to go for a walk in both pairs successively through the precinct in Peterborough. It was quite late at night so quite a number of people going out and about for a night out in the pubs/clubs etc. I thoroughly enjoyed walking around in my boots, although each and every time I do get a bit nervous before getting out of the car. Once out of the car though the rest is easy-peasy and gives me such a thrill/rush that I don't want to go home again afterwards. The key thing I am finding though is that people don't seem to comment publicly (although there was one girl who was walking toward me from the opposite direction who walked across directly to me and asked "what's the occasion? they look really sexy, i wish i could walk in those"). Has anybody else had any other public outings recently? TBG I find your outings very interesting and admire your persistence. Thanks everybody, I'll get some pics of the new boots put up soon! -BU

I went biking this afternoon even though the temperature was in the low 80s and there was a smog alert for Cincinnati. I wore black leggings, a black long sleeved V neck top, and black leather thigh boots with 4” stilettos. I made two circuits of the Lunken bike trail (~ 12 miles) and my legs still felt great but I had gotten enough sun so I called the ride over.

There were lots of folks on the trail walking, jogging, biking, and skating. Most of these folks were more scantly dresses then I was and are obviously more tolerant of a lot of sun the I am (I go up like a french fry). No one seemed bothered by a guy in boots.

After the ride I stopped in my favorite thrift emporium. I changed the black top for a gray T-shirt and went in to look for a white long sleeved top. I found one with a V neck and an off white one with a closed neck.

It says a lot that I’m more concerned about what top I’m wearing then whether I’m wearing boots. Thigh boots have become a very natural footwear to wear (at least for me) and I really don’t concern myself about wearing them. No, complacency has not set in, as I’m still conscious about where I go.

DawnHH –

Again, thanks for the kind words. You should set your goal for you and Mickey staying healthy for a little longer than the end of the summer though after all there are car meets to go to and trains to be fixed as well as a heel meet to attend. Great to have you posting again.

Bootedup –

This thread is for anyone wearing thigh boots out and about, and I’m glad for your contribution. The reactions you have gotten don’t sound too much different that what I have gotten from time to time, both the complements and the whistles and giggles. Your right about reflections while out and about, they give a completely different image then the mirror at home. I’m not sure what changes, whether it’s the environment, the lighting, the other people, but I suspect it is the attitude of the viewer. It is very different seeing yourself in a mirror at home than in a reflection in a window while out and about.

The only thigh boots I have are leather so I have no experience with paten boots. Are they comfortable? Would you identify the manufacturer and style? Looking forward to the pictures.

[Dawn HH]

TBG:-) You are quite right and I agree with everything you say. Cheers--- Dawn HH

[Thighbootguy]

I went shopping yesterday wearing a black V neck long sleeved top, black leather thigh boots with 5” stiletto heels, and a tan 14” skort. I stopped at my usual places, PetsMart, Sam’s, and my favorite thrift emporium, but I also stopped in a new cobbler shop. The whole trip was uneventful. Since I was wearing thigh boots with 5” stilettos I don’t think anybody noticed the skort. In a parking lot I did partially overhear one mother talking to her young son in a rather condescending tone saying, “dressed like that” and I suspect she was discouraging him. I also cot a couple of stares from a couple of other kids, I threw back a smile. At work, where I have been wearing knee boots with 3-4” block heels under my slacks for months, our “Fun Police” (a committee with no budget that organizes fun stuff on the cheep) organized a photo contest. There were lots of family and travel pictures so I entered the pictures I created as a decoration for the “Stupid Things We Do” suggestion box that was in our remote office several years ago. All the photo feature thigh boots (see below). I'll let you know if I win.

[Thighbootguy]

I did about 15 miles biking this afternoon wearing a white V neck top with ¾ length sleeves, denim shorts and black suede ankle boots with 2” block heels. Yep, Thighbootguy has finally succumbed to high temperatures and higher humidity. The outfit was comfortable but I really felt funny wearing ankle boots fully exposed. Whod have thunk it?

Only in my fondest dreams.

[Dawn HH]

TBG:-) Those are discrete photos you submitted, but, then again, we all know that submitting photos of yourself in heeled thighboots might be akin to suicide. We will never tell. TEE! HEE! I like the photos that you submitted. Hope you win. Cheers--- Dawn HH

Today started off quite warm but I needed to cut grass so I went out in a gray T-shirt, 14” denim skirt and sandals and cut the grass. The only thing I had to remember was not to bend over to remove the rear catcher bag from the mower. I don’t think anyone even noticed what I was wearing. Later that afternoon I went shopping at the Florence Ky. Sam’s wearing a grey T-shirt, black denim skin tight jeans and black leather thigh boots with 5” stilettos. Other than being warm, the shopping trip was a non event. The fun started when I went to Biggs for a couple of items not carried by Sam’s. I walked in and found my stuff when one of the female clerks (mid 40s) came running up to me and said (rather enthusiastically), “Excuse me but where did you get those boots? I think there great!” “Well, thank you, I ordered them on-line.” “Really!” “Yeah, here are a couple of web sites that have them.” And I gave her a list I had put together for just such occasions. “Can I keep this?” “Sure, I get asked a lot.” “Are they comfortable?” “Oh yeah, these are leather and are very comfortable.” “Can I ask how much they were?” “These were in the $80 range.” “That cheep.” “If you want a better boot try the Jean Gabort site. There in the $400 range but there great boots.” “Do they run true to size?” “With this heel, I’d recommend going up a size.” “I’ve wanted a pair for a long time. I’ve got seven kids at home and I just want a pair to play in. They will look great with my husband’s motorcycle! I’ve been saving my Christmas money and I’m going to order a pair” I gave her a thumbs up and we bid each other a good day. Later that afternoon, I went out on my bicycle wearing a white V neck top, black suede ankle boots with a 2” block heel, and the 14” denim skirt. Shorts are really the more practical garment for biking because they protect the skin where it moves against the bile saddle but the skirt sure was cool. Been a great day. The photos didn't win the contest. I hadn't expected them to but it was fun entering them.
