TigerTail Posted December 27, 2011 Posted December 27, 2011 I went out in one of my pair of heels this morning; black 3 inch Mary Jane pumps. I took a clue from another post here and bought a new pair of boot cut jeans that were 2 inches longer than what I normally wear. That way the only thing that really showed were the front of my heels. I did this early in the AM at a local Wal Mart, there weren't many people. I really enjoyed the click of the heels as I walked through the parking lot, into the store and by people -- employees and customers. I pushed a cart so there was a little distraction but still stopped completely at times while shopping around others. Not to mention checking out and walking by the greeter a time or two. Not surprisingly, no one seemed to notice. No customer or employee said a thing about it. I guess what other posts I've read is true - most people don't pay attention. My next outing might be to a movie theater; picking the right time when there won't be too many people there. If you're wondering about going out in your heels sometime, do it! It was awesome.

FreshinHeels Posted December 27, 2011 Posted December 27, 2011 Well done TigerTail!! In the process of becoming the person I always was...but didn't dare to let her come out
roniheels Posted December 27, 2011 Posted December 27, 2011 First of all, congratulations on your outing. Secondly, you have made a couple of common observations: it is so much fun and such a rush when you're out in public in high heels, and most people either don't notice or don't say anything or even react if they do notice your high heels. Believe me, it only gets easier and more fun with each outing. Congrats again!
Henri Posted December 27, 2011 Posted December 27, 2011 Congratulations. Do it againa nd enjoy. Henri If you haven't learned something new today; you have wasted the day.
JeffB Posted December 27, 2011 Posted December 27, 2011 Congrats on your accomplishment. The very first time wearing heels in public can be both exciting and unnerving, but once you've gotten that initial outing under your belt, things will progressively become easier. Just continue having fun and enjoying yourself. I don't want to LOOK like a woman, I just want to DRESS like a woman!
ilikekicks Posted December 28, 2011 Posted December 28, 2011 All the rest of your outings will be much easier. Well done! REPEATEDLY ARGUMENTATIVE, INSULTING AND RUDE. BANNED FOR LIFE.
HappyinHeels Posted December 28, 2011 Posted December 28, 2011 Tiger Tail, Glad you finally took the plunge and stepped out IN STYLE! Listen to these members here because they know from experience that the world in too large and involved in itself to notice, beyond a passing glance, what one person has on their feet. The key to enjoying expression of personality via clothing, or heels in this case, regardless of gender, is by exuding confidence. Confidence is akin to leadership which people the world over are drawn to. Project confidence and the world will no doubt receive you well. Thanks for putting your trust in hhplace. This is the beginning of enjoying the rest of your life!! HappyinHeels

I guess what other posts I've read is true - most people don't pay attention. My next outing might be to a movie theater; picking the right time when there won't be too many people there. Your observations from your outing are right on the mark! Now listen to your own words, "most people don't pay any attention" or care (my words). With that in mind, stop worrying about "there won't be too many people", just go out and wear your heels. It is a lot easier when you no longer worry about other people. TBG I dream of a world where chickens can cross roads without having their motives questioned.
Dr. Shoe Posted December 28, 2011 Posted December 28, 2011 Actually you're better going to places that have a LOT of people. When there are only a few people, they will have time to take a good look at you, in a crowd they have no time at all so you pass unnoticed.

legs777777 Posted December 28, 2011 Posted December 28, 2011 Congratulations on your outing, same as you I only went out at xmas this year, listen to all of the advice here, people dont notice and it feels great. Good luck for your next time.
Steve63130 Posted December 29, 2011 Posted December 29, 2011 Congratulations, TigerTail. You'll find it gets easier and easier, and you'll wonder why you haven't done this sooner. In fact you may even get to the point where you're disappointed that nobody notices! Steve
SleekHeels Posted December 31, 2011 Posted December 31, 2011 Awesome TigerTail ! I've not tried a movie theatre yet (but I have done a music concert) and I'd be inclined to follow Dr. Shoe's advice - the busier the better. If you like it, wear it.
