Rockpup Posted February 9, 2005 Share Posted February 9, 2005 I was in New Orleans a few months ago for work, saw a guy who worked in the local goth type store walking home after his shift in probably 4" chunky heeled boots. I'd have worn heels while on my own time, but the only one's I had with me were 5" boots.. and Bourbon St is not a good place to push your limits on unsteady heels. Oh well, should have gotten the 3" Harley Davidson boots, since I couldnt find a shoe store elsewhere... Jim (formerly known as "JimC") Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubba136 Posted February 9, 2005 Share Posted February 9, 2005 If you wear grass skirts just keep in mind that people that wear grass skirts shouldn't get anywhere near lawn mowers. 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...

Crowds are kinda big but nobody's pushy. It's like people enter some kind of "second self" while on Bourbon Just go buy a grass skirt honey!! I wouldn't be able to find nice shoes to match in my size Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

micha Posted February 10, 2005 Share Posted February 10, 2005 I was on Frenchmen St. in the French Quarter today - some of the best live music ever is played in the bars that line this street. But that was only the second-best part of the evening. There was a guy wearing a grass skirt and some heels out on the street reveling, his size couldn't have been very high because the shoes were sorta feminine. I wanted SO BADLY to be in that position... What kind of grass? Smokable? The best fashion is your own fashion! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loveheel Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 Hi folks, Those of you that have been on the board for a while, may remember me. I used to post a lot here, but jus didn't have much time in the last year to post, though I have kept up the heel wearing and wear them out a few times a month. I wear stiletto sandals in summer and block or spike heel boots in winter. I am now for several months in Belgium. The heel scence is not bad here, but a bit conservative. Lots of women taking on the new fashion of wearing the pants in the boots so you get a great view of the boot an dheel, but most heels are of the 2.5 to 3 inch variety. Saw a great pair of steel heels, at least 4.5" in Gent yesterday though. The lady walked with them on cobble stones ! Anyway, that is not why I decided to write. Today I saw a guy in heels in a small city in Belgium. He was in an electronics store browsing for a digital camera and must have been in his mid fifties. He looked like just any regular guy, except that he was wearing boots with about a 2.5 to 3" heel uncovered by the pants. The boots were the type with pieces of different colored leather. The type of heel (slightly curved like a Paris heel) and the style gave away that it was a women's boot. This is only my second sighting of a guy in heels in quite a few years (not counting guys in full fem outfit). It was a cool experience. Because I am on assignment I had to leave most of my shoes in the states, so not much heel wearing for me here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shafted Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 Hmm, maybe he was looking for a digital camera so that he could post his pictures here. Shafted, the boots that is!

pussyinboots Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 We have one guy in my town who wears heels in public with guys clothes - mainly boots - stiletto and cowboy/girl. He's a musician (no surprises there I guess), and straight - however when I last spoke with him he was NOT wearing heels. Apparently he wears them less these days after being beaten up by a gang of drunken teenage "chavs" in hoodies a while back. A plague of ignorance which seems to be blighting the UK more and more sadly.

Actually, Pittsburgh is exactly the place where I once saw another guy in HH boots. It was in one of the nicer downtown hotels and he was normally dressed. Definitely not drag. I am up to two sightings ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vee6 Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 Hi Stormie, you are obviously local, I am out and about but my styles are discreet, occasionally noticed by people, I am still having fun, would love to do thin and higher heels in public, but still finding my feet with this so to speak... Will keep an eye open for you if you are about.. Vee http://community.webshots.com/album/547789605ZXSrQP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
