Curt Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 Do anybody feel really cocky when wearing heels? I know why many women wear heels now! It about complete confidence, and power. I feel like I can take on the world in heels. I feel weak with flats on. I went downtown with my brother yesterday, I said to him, I should have worn my chunky heel boots, my feet hurt too much in flats! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shafted Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 You are not alone in those feelings. That's the real power of high heels. Shafted, the boots that is!

Mike Hinch Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 They really do not do anything to boost my confidance and actually I still need to be careful where and how high. While I have been out shopping in the six inch stilettos there still are places where they do not fit the plan. Then if I decide to go to Pick a Part then I think I would have more confidance in work boots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dww Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 I'am affraid time has taken it's toll and I don't feel any differant whatever shoes I am wearing now, should have asked me the same question twenty years ago the answer would not be the same as now. life is not a rehearsal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eoneleg Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 I'm not sure that I feel "cocky," more like accomplished and daring as I move about in one heel with crutches; something that the medical experts frown on. For me, its on the order of "I'll show you," and I love it. E Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roxyinheels Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 since the moment I zip my boots up, I come upon my Femdom feeling. I know that by walkin them, I will open the air. There s an unique feed back possible : men will bow perplex and women will get green of envy. Elegance is my second name Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SleekHeels Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 Not "cocky" in an arrogant way, but certainly self-confident because I'm expressing who I am (and challenging a few prejudices along the way). It also feels good to be making the effort with my appearance, not just the heels but the outfits to go with them, it puts me in a more aspirational mood. It's not a "power" thing for me, heels don't make me feel dominant or submissive, but I can understand if they have that effect for others. If you like it, wear it.

Foxyheels Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 If you mean by 'cocky' being satisfied you have had the courage to be yourself and wear the shoes you want despite society's general consensus that us men should not, then yes I am. i love the feeling of doing as I wish. I will admit I like doing things that are not expected but with heels it genuinely is a desire to wear shoes I think look fantastic and why should I miss out. High heels are the shoes I choose to put on, respect my choice as I repect yours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amanda Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 I'm reluctant to use the word cocky but I do stand taller than most men which is partly attributable to my choice of footwear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffB Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 I have to say that I don't feel cocky when out and about in heels since they're just part of the overall image I present to the world at large, but I do feel bold and confident when I'm freestyling. I don't want to LOOK like a woman, I just want to DRESS like a woman! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxyheels Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 I'm reluctant to use the word cocky but I do stand taller than most men which is partly attributable to my choice of footwear. The word cocky should never be used as a terminology for a lady such as yourself. I have to admit the extra height does have it's advantages especially when you are only 5' 8'' like me although that's not what I wear them for. High heels are the shoes I choose to put on, respect my choice as I repect yours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve63130 Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 I don't feel at all cocky, but I do feel liberated, confident, daring, and yet just a tad cautious to make sure I'm aware of my surroundings. Not everyone might be as proud and happy as I am regarding my footwear choices. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt Posted September 8, 2012 Author Share Posted September 8, 2012 Maybe cocky is too harsh a word. Maybe a bit uppity or rockstar-ish. I also like to be taller. High heels bring me up to 6'1". Heels make me feel good in my own skin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 I too would avoid the term "cocky", I would reserve it for teenagers that think they're bigger than they are, also not to be applied to girls (lippy) comes to mind. Once settled and any edginess has relaxed to comfortable then the confidence comes in. Boldness comes forward and even for those that normally hide begin to flirt to show. I'd use the term Bravado.

Guest Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 Occasionally but badly, the clues often mean nothing to me. But it is true I've gone out to gigs well hidden yet on the return journey it's "give them a flash" Al Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilikekicks Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 Cocky? Not at all. ' Better dressed ', for sure. . REPEATEDLY ARGUMENTATIVE, INSULTING AND RUDE. BANNED FOR LIFE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 For gigs or just generally, a good pair of blue grey or black jeans Suited and posh, then I want that "edge" for the occasion, sadly I'm not always allowed but getting better. I've still to get out as if for Ascot (tailcoat) and heels but it's going to happen! one day. Al Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtnsofheels Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 Thanks for post Bootcat, I am agreeing with others that "cocky" is not the term I would use either. Perhaps "accomplished", or "fulfilled" and maybe just "freedom" as that is what I feel like when wearing heeled boots/shoes. Good thoughts regardless.....

roniheels Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 As the others have said, "cocky" is not the correct term I would use when I am wearing high heels in public. As I have said before, I feel sexy, pretty, handsome, confident, excited, and sometimes even flirty, depending on the feedback I receive from people that I confront and they comment on me wearing high heels.

Curt Posted October 1, 2012 Author Share Posted October 1, 2012 I think cocky isn't the proper term. Probably posh. Sort of like a victoria beckham attitude. It takes a lot of confidence to strut around in heels publicly. Even a lot of girls don't wear heels much anymore. So the guys have a chance to up our style. Dig it!
