Pumps Posted July 6, 2012 Author Posted July 6, 2012 Thanks for your support, Steve, I appreciate it.
SleekHeels Posted July 8, 2012 Posted July 8, 2012 The last three times I've been out I wore my heels under long bootcut jeans (not to hide the heels, just because I like the look) and only the bottom inch or two of the heel are visible anyway. From the photo I'd imagine you'd get noticed just as much wearing that style regardless of the heel height, and you had to overcome just as much reservation to step out in those, so bravo to you! I'm guessing if you wore a nice top and trousers (womens jeans?) that (a) made for a smart outfit and ( blended in with what other people were wearing, then lots of people probably noticed but there was no reason for them to show a reaction. It sounds like Shafted said that you've been pulling off those outfits with heels... keep it up and don't get caught out when you receive your first compliment, have a nice "thank you" and a smile ready. If you like it, wear it.
FreshinHeels Posted July 9, 2012 Posted July 9, 2012 Pumps, I like those shoes, and you don't have to apologize for wearing 2 inch (5 cm) heels. If someone else doesn't think they're "real heels" because they're not over 4 inches (10 cm), that is a subjective call. To others, like me, they look like real heels, and I'm glad you're wearing them out in public. It doesn't matter how high the heel is - it's the fact that you are bold enough to wear women's shoes with heels as a guy in public that is important. Keep up the good work, and continue to educate the public that a guy can look good and confident in women's heels. Steve That is very well said In the process of becoming the person I always was...but didn't dare to let her come out
tallguyinheels Posted July 9, 2012 Posted July 9, 2012 Worst thing about Copenhagen is the Cobbles on the Stroget.
Steve63130 Posted July 9, 2012 Posted July 9, 2012 Yes, I've been there and you're right, but look at the great practice you get learning to master walking in heels there, and it's free, not counting transportation costs (to get there) and the great bakeries that lure you in! lol Steve

Did you guys have any problems in Copenhagen ?
Steve63130 Posted July 9, 2012 Posted July 9, 2012 We were with friends from Helsingborg who knew their way around Copenhagen, and we knew we'd be doing a lot of walking, so I didn't even try to wear heels that day. I was in rubber clogs. This was back in 2005 before I ventured into serious public heeling. I'd love to return to Scandinavia one of these days. We loved every minute of it.
BobHH Posted July 10, 2012 Posted July 10, 2012 Count on a lot of walking in Copenhagen. The last time I was there we walked 7 or 8 miles in one day - checked it on a city map afterward.
Pumps Posted July 10, 2012 Author Posted July 10, 2012 I did go to check out Copenhagen Jazz festival in the attached outfit. Don't remember ever going out in without trouser socks, but today was the day and yet noone seemed to take any notice. Really weird. http://hhplace.org/gallery/image/1675-/
tallguyinheels Posted July 10, 2012 Posted July 10, 2012 Copenhagens just fine in heels... everyone is very tolerant.
