sscotty727 Posted November 4, 2004 Share Posted November 4, 2004 Hi All, Well, I finally went out tonight to have dinner with my sister-in-law. We decided to meet at Fridays (a sitdown resturant). I was going to wear my 4 1/2 " heels with my long jeans, but I decided against them for two reasons. First of all, the toe stuck out and was VERY shinny and second, since I took the wrong jeans to work with me I had to stop back at the hotel room to change into my longer jeans. I wore my 4 1/2" heels from my car up the steps (3rd floor) and into my room and realized I wasn't walking normal. My other shoes are a duller black and are only 4" (which turned out to still be a challange). Now, I have walked around the house and hotel room in my heels, but I found out wearing them in public is ALOT different. What I can do normal here with no problem turned out to be quite a challange. Anyway, we met in the parking lot and walked in together. She wore high heel clog-type shoes and the loud wood heel of her shoes drounded out the sound of my heels. I was hoping the place was carpeted, but instead they had a wooden floor. The good news is they had tv, music and loud people so my heel sound was not heard at all. Not one person looked down at my shoes. We got seated at a table instead of a booth, but I had no problem with anyone seeing my heels. It was GREAT to have them on in public. Dinner was fantastic (what did I have again? ). Well, after eatting what I thought would be a horror, I had to use the restroom. I got up and walked down the steps, down a small hallway, around a corner into the bathroom. To my amazement, my heels did not make one sound. Ducked into a stall, did my business, got out, washed my hands (of course) and went back to the table (first going up the wrong steps to the bar and had to turn around and go the other steps). We walked back to the cars passing a few guys smoking and no one said a word. We stopped by the car and I lifted my pant leg to show her my shoes and she said "cool". Anyway, it went off without such a hitch that I went to 7-11 on the way back home to get some coffee and a soda. When I pulled up NO ONE was there but before I could get out of my car two other cars pulled up. In one car was a couple. As I got out of my car and walked in I could see the woman stare at me. I just went in, got my soda, went over and got my coffee (the guy that came in behind me took his time with his coffee, must have used 20 creamers, wonder if he was afraid to go up to the counter with me....). Anyway, paid and walked outside past the woman and the car (her boyfriend or husband was inside) and got into my car. As I got in I turned to the car and saw her staring in my direction. I was kinda embarrased so I just turned forward and put seatbelt on, etc. I turned again and she was looking forward also. After I left I came back, left the heels on and came back up to my hotel room STILL in the heels. I passed one guy coming down the hall (he used the elevator, I used the steps, we passed each other to get to our rooms). Not one strange look. So all in all, it was a great night! I am glad I finally got out in public in my heels. I hope I can repeat the experience someday with my wife. Here are the heels I wore: Scotty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
genebujold Posted November 4, 2004 Share Posted November 4, 2004 Sweet! Did you wear with opaque hosiery, or as pictured? I, too, have always hated is the sharp, high-pitched "clack, clack" that says, "here comes a pair of heels, look at me!" I'd rather just enjoy wearing them without attracting a lot of attention.

sscotty727 Posted November 4, 2004 Author Share Posted November 4, 2004 Wore them barefoot (the jeans were long enough to hide the them, just the toe stuck out). The main reason I went barefoot is they were a LITTLE big and the back of my foot kept sliding out. Barefoot they fit tighter than they would have with nylons. Also, I like the feel of barefoot heels The trick to not being "heard" is to wear them to a noisy place. Try it! Scotty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
genebujold Posted November 4, 2004 Share Posted November 4, 2004 Noisy place? Well, a carpeted casino certainly qualifies! Most casinos have concrete parking lots and tiled approach ways, however. Walking inside the casinos isn't a problem, but the path to and from the parking lot is well-lit, hard, and full of echoes! Hence my love for rubber heels.

sscotty727 Posted November 4, 2004 Author Share Posted November 4, 2004 Well, it was a nice walk from my car to the resturant. I was nervous, but quickly discovered my sister-in-law picked the perfect shoe to drown out my heels, a clog-type wooden heel which was pretty loud. I don't know if she wore them on purpose or coincidence, but it worked perfectly. Maybe you should have your wife/girlfriend/companion wear similar heels to drown out the sound of yours...... Of course if she is wearing a shirt skirt and very high heels I DOUBT highly anyone will look at yours Scotty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimnj3 Posted November 4, 2004 Share Posted November 4, 2004 Glad to hear all went well! Now the next time will be much easier. Bet you'll be setting up another outing soon and hope it's with your wife..Good Luck...Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sscotty727 Posted November 6, 2004 Author Share Posted November 6, 2004 I told my wife about why I went to dinner with her sister (I didn't originally tell her I was going to wear my pumps). She was concerned that she might tell our niece or her brother, but I assured her she wasn't and she was cool and ok with it. Anyway, I said I would rather go out in my pumps with her (my wife) and she said ok. So now we can go out one of these days (when my other sister-in-law can watch our girls) and I will wear my pumps. I think she seems more ok with it since I kinda broke the ice. Scotty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bubba136 Posted November 7, 2004 Share Posted November 7, 2004 Hope thing work out and you have a uneventful time wearing your pumps out and about with her. Being mentally comfortable in your own mind is the key to wearing heels in public. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
