Curt Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 I live in a one bedroom apartment downtown, and not sure where to store them. I would like to keep them togetther. And problem is, I have a lot of tall boots. Should I srtore them in the closet, or build shelves for them. I,ve got 20 pairs of shoes and boots. I but a new pair once a month. I spent over two thousand dollars on heels in the last 3 months. Got to put myself on a budget. I now put money aside for shoes. No cheap thrift store shoes anymore. Now I shop at fluevog, scarpino, nine west, aldo, and maybe some stores online. Only the best for this guy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gallux Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 in my case, I have to hide them... I hide them inside my couch, it has a void inside which nobody (until this day) knows that exist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. X Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 At least you have a bedroom bootcat. The place I am moving into has no bedroom. And not a single closet. At this point I got no where to store. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rei Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 I have a bunk bed and have some pairs of boots on the unused top bunk and some pumps on the floor in my closet. I'm not really trying to hide them at all, if someone sees them and asks me about it I will tell the truth. Somehow nobody's asked yet.

mtnsofheels Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 Well now, I do not have to hide them but storing them is becoming a problem. I have 8-9 pairs under the bed, dozen plus in our shared closet and several more in a second closet, and other nooks and crannies. I would love to be able display them all.....some day. New house maybe..........someday! Mtnsofheels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kikepa Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 I spent over two thousand dollars on heels in the last 3 months. Yes, you do need a budget - it took me thirty years to spend $2,000 on heels, so slow down! As for storage, how I store them depends on who I expect to have over. When it's just myself, they come out and I store them in hanging cloth shoe racks, attached to my clothes hanger bar. When I've guests, who might see that, I sometimes hang a sheet over them, but when nosy relatives come to visit, I put them away in a duffle bag.

Steve63130 Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 The answer is patience. You need to talk. Communicate with her and find out what her objections are. Explore whether there is any wiggle room and common ground for compromise. Maybe she can't stand you in stiletto pumps, but would be ok in loafer style pumps with a thicker heel? Maybe she doesn't like pumps at all, but would be ok with boots. You need to find out, and go there. Stay inside her comfort zone and make sure your life revolves around her and not around your shoes. But push the envelope slowly as she gets used to you in heels. Take baby steps and watch her body language. Give her reassurance and attention, and if she's worried about you becoming gay, a cross dresser, etc., address those concerns. A lot of it has to do with her security or lack thereof. Good luck and let us know if we can help. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wishicould Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Unfortunately I have to hide them too. They are in my car under the front seats and in my gym bag Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niknhose Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 I don't really have a place that I store my heels. They just kinda sit whereever I happen to take them off at or place them after work. Most of my heels tend to wind up in front of my dresser. Since I had to start wearing them for medical reasons I didn't have to hide them anymore. -Nikki Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SleekHeels Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 I keep mine in under-bed storage and in/on-top of the wardrobe, a few in their original boxes but most wrapped in plastic bags to keep them clean and save space. I'm not particularly trying to hide them, I just don't like them lying around all over the place. In-season styles (like sandals in the summer, boots in the winter) tend to find their way to the more easily accessible places. Occasionally a pair will wear out (usually a cheap pair that falls to pieces), otherwise when I run out of space the odd bad purchase (poor fit or just unflattering for my feet, from the days I used to buy without trying first) will find its way to the charity shop to make space. I once made a rack to store them all on display, and it was great to look at every day but it took up too much space and so wasn't practical. If you like it, wear it.

niknhose Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 I'm totally intrigued, what medical reasons would you need for wearing high heels? I'm nit trying to be funny, just curious. I have achilles tendonitis in my left heel. The heels allow me to walk without pain. My research lead me to heel inserts for my shoes along with stretches and exercises. As I had a couple pairs of heels already on hand, I gave that a try instead of buying a set of lifts. That was 3 months ago. I am now able to wear 2 inch heels without pain and sometimes can do short jaunts in trainers or barefoot. And yes i did see a doctor. She did advise that I should wear lower heels, I was wearing 3 inch heels at the time, to work out the tendon. She also recommended the exercises that I was already doing. -Nikki Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flatlander_48 Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 My closet is a long narrow space. I keep my femme stuff (shoes, dresses, sweaters, vests) in the deep recesses at the back. Wife doesn't mind so I'm not trying to hide anything... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tifa Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 I'm supposed to keep mine with the rest of tbe shoes in the cupboard under the stairs, but I frequently get told off by my partner for a growing collection next to the bed where I take them off before bed.

Hers on her side and mine on my side. My wears that i wear out are at our front door with all our other footwear. Pics will follow soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest IronCross Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 Under the bed on my side of the bed. I live in a studio apartment with my girlfriend so we're a little pressed for space. I'd have mine in the closet with hers but there isn't much room left in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSLS Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 Like some above, I store mine with all of our other shoes. My children don't know I wear heels, but my Mrs does, and she's perfectly fine with it, so they just go where they go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CassieJ Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 We have a shoe closet for my wife's 400+ pair and about 60 pair of mine. I also have more (30-40 pair) under the bed in boxes. It's funny that we all start believing that everyone is going to see them and question us but the reality is, no one is really observant. Heels in boxes in a closet won't attract attention unless you draw it to them. Cassie - http://www.fetishforhighheels.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
