Skirted-UK Posted December 22, 2004 Posted December 22, 2004 I have been wearing skirts and heels in deserted locations at night since I was in my teens. I started by wearing skirts in the woods near my house at night, it was a bit scary, but loads of fun. I have often wondered how many more people do this sort of thing?

Firefox Posted December 22, 2004 Posted December 22, 2004 When I wore heeled boots on the streets, the first few times I did it was at night in London when I was at university. I found it a bit boring though and soon "graduated" along with my studies into wearing them in broad daylight. I'd be interested to see other wearing stories in strange places though. It never ceases to amaze me what people get up to and you can always share it anonomously if you want on this board so post away!
Guest Posted December 23, 2004 Posted December 23, 2004 There's a horse track within walking distance of my house, however I'm deathly afraid to walk in there with stilettos-a-clicking. There's also a park nearby, I considered swinging on the swing and climbing the bars in my high heels but I haven't been down that way yet. Nothing else of interest is very close by and I don't drive so my options are temporarily limited to the surrounding area of my house. My neighborhood in general is very quiet, the soil is very rich around here so walking in grass leads to me putting stiletto-marks in the ground (which I learned the hard way last night when I planted BOTH feet into a tuft of grass). It's a lot of porch dwellers through most of the night but now that I've done it once, I'll continue to casually stroll around my neightborhood (as casually as I can in high heels) once I see that activity has died down.
balletboot2000 Posted December 23, 2004 Posted December 23, 2004 When I've been out in my ballets, and my 12" heeled thightboots, plus many other pairs, there is a little car park for country walks nearby. It is hidden from view of the main road by trees. The car park is nearly flat so, off I go. I suppose there is the thrill that someone may park up and find you, but its the thrill of being outdoors in those terrific shoes and boots that really does it for me, whilst the traffic thunders past. I love the feel of that ultimate lift!
jemanda Posted December 23, 2004 Posted December 23, 2004 I admit when I used to own a house many years back I used to regularly go for a stroll around the block in my heels, I chose times when it was unlikely for too many people to be up and about. Usually I wore jeans so that it wasnt too noticeable, although the noise would have been obvious miles away. The only real scare I had one evening/morning was when I went around a different block and went past a house where some guy was sitting on the stoep and his dog dashed out and yapped all around my ankles. Unusually for me I wasnt wearing jeans that day but shorts with heels! Needless to say that dog was like a large flashing signpost! I didnt walk past that house again thats for sure.

I would fear for my sanity if any of my neighbors caught me walking in my heels, especially if they weren't well-covered!
Skirted-UK Posted December 24, 2004 Author Posted December 24, 2004 My neighborhood in general is very quiet, the soil is very rich around here so walking in grass leads to me putting stiletto-marks in the ground (which I learned the hard way last night when I planted BOTH feet into a tuft of grass). This is a problem that I soon discovered when I started wearing heels in isolated locations. It's very hard to find a quite location that has a hard smooth surface that you can wear heels on. I am always trying to find shoes that have thick heels for wearing on soft ground, easy enough if you can take a woman's size but very difficult in sizes over size 8.

balletboot2000 Posted December 24, 2004 Posted December 24, 2004 Quiet, level and flat takes soom finding, but it is worth it. I love the feel of that ultimate lift!
Heeledguy Posted December 24, 2004 Posted December 24, 2004 The closest I have come is wearing my heels down my garden to the shed! It is quite a long way, along a concrete path. It's just nice to walk a reasonable distance in heels. I have been seen by my neighbour, and have actually spoken to her over the fence whilst in heels. Fortunately she is very old and had no idea.
Skirted-UK Posted December 25, 2004 Author Posted December 25, 2004 Creeping around the countryside at night in skirts and high heels I have seen some very strange things, but one of the strangest happened one night when I was walking along a moorland road in a long straight black skirt and a pair of 4" stiletto heel black patent court shoes. Normally its easy to do this on this stretch of the road because you can see a car coming for a mile in both directions and casually get off of the road and duck down until it has passed. However as I was walking down the road I could hear a car approaching, but I could see no lights and it was pitch black with no moon. The sound was getting louder but I could still not see any lights and I was starting to panic. It just did not make sense, there was definitely a car approaching but I could not see any sign of it. Then I realised it was about 100 yards away, I still could not see it, but I was not going to hang around to find out why and I decided to get off the road quickly. Unfortunately for me there was a slight bank on this part of the road and as I scrambled up it in a panic my tight skirt and high heels conspired against me and I ended up flat on my face in the Bracken. As the car went past I rolled over on my side to see what it was, but although it was only about 10 feet away I could not see it, but I could smell the exhaust fumes. I sat up and listened to it disappearing into the distance In the panic I had lost both shoes and managed to step into a cow pat, thankfully I did not break the seams of my favourite straight skirt scrambling up the bank. Although this happened a few years ago now, I still do not have a logical explanation for it. I do not believe in ghosts, I can only assume that the driver had exceptional night vision or that he was using night-vision goggles. This is just one example of no matter how carefully you plan these excursions, you are likely to get caught out by the unexpected. "You can check out anytime you like, but you can never leave !

Dawn HH Posted December 25, 2004 Posted December 25, 2004 I never wear my heels clandestanly. If crossdressed, they are all part of the whole look and no one knows the difference as their eyes tell them there is a lady coming. When street-heeling as a male, my heels are partually covered but very noticeable when walking or sitting. Cheers--- Dawn HH High Heeled Boots Forever!
NikkiHH Posted December 25, 2004 Posted December 25, 2004 The first time I went out in heels was in my late teens - nowhere strange just round a bit of the block in low chunky heel ankle boots, oh and a skirt! Very nerve wracking the first time at 3am. But in complete contrast to the other week when I wore 4 inch pointy boots from Waterloo East to Waterloo Main, wandered about waiting for my train for half an hour and then down the platform and onto the train. It was a busy saturday morning and no-one noticed apart from one guy - who noticed the noise of my heels but just glanced down as I walked past and that was it! Nik
Firefox Posted December 25, 2004 Posted December 25, 2004 That's the amazing misconception most people have. They think the roof will fall on their head or worry what their neighbour will do, but in fact the truth is very different. 9 in 10 don't notice and 9 in 10 of those that do don't care.
sixinchheels Posted December 26, 2004 Posted December 26, 2004 Well, I always try to find places with my car, where I can wear my heels and not get noticed. I never try to cover them though, I always wear a skirt or something like that. In fact I love to see my feet when I walk and slap my feet on my platform mules. If you hide your heels, you miss half the fun...
PJ Posted December 27, 2004 Posted December 27, 2004 I started out appearing in public in deserted places at night. That helped build up my confidence. But after a while, the thrill diminished and I changed to areas that had people in a distance. In otherwords, people far enough away not to recognize me yet close enough to enhance the thrill. This has occasionally resulted in some "close calls". By that I mean some surprising close encounters or other form of acknowledgement (a shout, a wolf-whistle, etc.). click .... click .... click .... The sensual sound of stiletto heels on a hard surface.
balletboot2000 Posted December 28, 2004 Posted December 28, 2004 I've had some fun wearing these thighboots out. Somewhat obvious aren't they! I love the feel of that ultimate lift!
Heelson Posted December 28, 2004 Posted December 28, 2004 Well, I don't often drop by here any more ... but this topic caught my eye as it's the way that I started wearing heels "out". But it's probably the most dangerous way of wearing heels out in semi-public. Dangerous in terms of (a) slipping or falling when you can't really see where you're walking, and ( of meeting people who you really wouldn't want to meet at any time of day in any place (think, who else is out & about in deserted areas in the dark). So after a few little scares, it was out into the big wide world proper for me ... daylight, much busier areas, etc. And a lot of that decision was down to finding this Board (not that I've ever met up with any of the people here), and reading about others' experiences. And my conclusion ... it's a bigger thrill doing it this way, and far less risky too. Not had any adverse comments or got into any bad situations (so far) ... though most of my heeling is done in/around Brighton, and pretty much anything goes there!! If you're stuck with the dark / deserted places, be extra careful!!
Diana High Heels Posted December 28, 2004 Posted December 28, 2004 My most testing time was parking up in a layby in the country about a mile from a village. I put on a pair of Black 51\2" ankle strap courts and set off down this lane away from the village. I had walked about 200yards when I saw a woman and dog appear from the village directio, it was a Sunday afternood and before I got the confidence to street heel in public. Anyway, I was a good way ahead so carried on walking, my heels making the resounding tip tap as I teetered along, I had jeans on. She was walking quite fast and I also had to move to keep the distance! I came to a junction a good half mile from my car and turned left, moved as fast as I could to get further ahead then to my horror the dog appeared behind me, oh my god, she also had turned left. By now the soles of my feet were starting to burn and my heels really taking a beating so I went into a gateway. Fortunatley it was one of these little used. The grass was long and I just stood there looking out into the field (it was quite a nice view point) until she went passed. I then started to return to my car, now I was a good mile away. The return journey was even worse because on rounding the corner I bumped into a family group. My heart stopped, they looked and I walked, or teetered away. I am sure I heard one say 'Did you see what he had on?' By now I was past caring, removed my shoes and walked very quickly to my car. From this I learnt a very valuable couple of lessons. 1. Shoes bought without STEEL tips do not last two seconds on a hard road surface as in that two mile walk the heels were ruined. 2. When confronted do not escape or even attempt to, just be pleasant and even chat, they will be just as non-plussed as you but in fact you have the advantage because you KNOW what you are wearing and if you are bold enough will sail though. Its WHEN YOU run people take more notice and question what exactly you are up to. This I have found out from this and other experiences and now can confidently street heel with out any shame or embarrasement. My average heel height is 61\2" on size 9 feet

If you're stuck with the dark / deserted places, be extra careful!! You certainly need to take a lot into consideration and a lot of care if you are going to do this sort of thing in the dark. I have a favourite location near my house which I use quite often late at night, mainly because its quick to get there and back. A couple of years ago I went there late at night, I walked through the woods across the common and down to the beach. I spent about an hour at the beach and then returned home the same way, without incident. The next morning there was a lot of activity in the vicinity of the woods, rescue helicopter, coastguards and police. It turns out that a woman had been missing for 18 hours. They found her alive in the undergrowth in the woods, I must have walked past her twice in the dark. :x You never know what you are going to come across at deserted locations at night. The two things that I worry about is coming across someone who has committed suicide, or getting caught up in a search for missing persons involving helicopters with thermal imaging cameras. (Black polyester skirts show up as bright white on infrared cameras.) While some of you might find the idea of discrete heeling in the vicinity of people exciting, I go to great lengths to avoid contact. "You can check out anytime you like, but you can never leave !

I cannot imagine that you like to be bashed up by nazi hooligans or macho immigrants rsp. slaughtered by an odd perverse. Is it the fear of a women in the night together with your female outfit, what is exciting you? Or is it your paranoia to be recognized by friends, colleagues, class-mates or family members? My solution to present me boldly on heels to my friends and the family worked very fine. I earned only acceptance! I agree with all other writers: The most sure places are department stores, supermarkets and shopping malls. During my daily purchases I' m wearing high heels since two years. The personnel in my supermarket could be too much irritated spotting me on flat shoes. Don't want to shock them again micha The best fashion is your own fashion!

You have to consider your wife and family. It might be ok if you are single and live in a large city, but if you are married and live in a small town, on who's community you depend for your income, you have to think very carefully before going public. (My wife would be furious and I would properly lose clients) You might like to think that you are a free agent but most people are not. Its no good saying I'm going to wear women clothes or shoes in public and to hell with everbody else and then end up divorced, broke and losing your house, and for what? its only a fetish after all, its not THAT important to me. Definitely not the smart option. "You can check out anytime you like, but you can never leave ! " The Eagles, "Hotel California"
Dawn HH Posted December 29, 2004 Posted December 29, 2004 You fellows may have different problems doing your heeling descretly, or clandestantly, but it sure does make for some very interesting reading for the rest of us. More power to you all and carry on. I'll be more than happy to read about all of your adventures. Cheers--- Dawn HH High Heeled Boots Forever!

Yes, I'm a gay single living in a big city. Don't believe that a homosexual outing is an easy job. What would you have done in my situation as a young guy? Hiding the whole stuff secretely and denying an important part of yourself? I still remember a family meeting at christmas many years ago. In my opinion it was overdue to jump over the hurdle. I said "I want to tell you something about my sexual life". My mom looked a little bit shocked at me and then she answered "we aren't interested in your sexual life". By the time my parents have got the lesson. Also the tattoo and the heels wearing of their abnormal son. Last saturday - the first christmas day - I visited my meanwhile 75 years old mother. Her only comment "Oh, you are wearing a new pair of boots. At least a little bit more moderate heels ..." At the second christmas day I saw in TV the James Bond movie "You live only twice". An imbecile title, because the simple truth is "You live only once" I wish you a happy new year micha The best fashion is your own fashion!
tuckedintoboots Posted December 29, 2004 Posted December 29, 2004 my mom is 74 herself micha, so you know as well I do it their generation that are "speaking" in that response. I am a gay single myself (I'm 50 but look a lot younger) but like you I share a passion for really tall boots & leathers to wear with them as a fashion statement!! I'd love some other pics of you in your boots if you would like to send them to me- here is my email address : bradleyboots2001@yahoo.com & I'll send you some pics of mine as well!! I hope that you had a merry christmas & have a happy new year too! men still look good with pants tucked into the right boots!
w6ish Posted December 29, 2004 Posted December 29, 2004 thanks for the chuckle! i laughed when reading your adventures! they are some great stories. keep up the good work.
genebujold Posted December 29, 2004 Posted December 29, 2004 I used to, but around here, that's usually where you'll find trouble. Since then I've stuck to crowded areas, like the casinos. They're heavily patrolled by both police and casino security, so there's hardly a worry about being accosted in public while on the strip.
HeeledMarc Posted December 29, 2004 Posted December 29, 2004 Hi all, I 'm a newbie here, but heel wearer for years . I am married, though my wife does not really like me wearing heels with her (she find the look weird - she wears high heels regularly, so she finds heels one of the girl's touch), she does not care me wearing them alone or outside. I am travelling a lot for my business, so always take a pair of heeled boots or clogs with me. I am going out with 3 to 4 inch heels, generaly wearing jeans or dark pants, without big issues. As Firefox mentionned, most of the people who notice do not care. You may encounter some giggles (it happened), and that's it. On the other side, wearing heels is a good way to start discussing with foreigners who sometimes ask you why you are wearing heels. And the feeling is fantastic... My first time in public was scarry and a big thrill . I did some shopping in a mall with 4 inches clogs wearing a black pant and a casual shirt. Chances that I met a customer or a colleague was high, but that was part of the game . I walked for two hours, wandering and shopping in full light. A couple of people noticed and smiled, but overall the moment spent was great, and my fear disappeared. From this day, I wear heels as frequently as possible outside, in restaurants, shopping centers, and I love it. So my advice is do it, go out with heels, not really feminine ones (no 6 inchs platforms for example), but ones you feel comfortable with and walk confidently. Marc
Firefox Posted December 29, 2004 Posted December 29, 2004 I appreciate where Skirted is coming from. You do have to consider your circumstances. But there's a big difference between wearing "women's" clothes (bras, skirts, low necklines, attempting to appear as woman etc) and wearing coordinating heels as a man. I work in a small town, and we have some local clients, and I wear heels at meetings, and its business as usual. I'd go along 100% with what Marc from France says. Wear some maching shoes with typical smart oufit that local men are wearing. Jeans, shirt, jacket etc. Then it's much safer to do it in everyday life. They can even be 4"+ heels. But if you really want to wear 6" platforms or wilder fetish styles then a dark place is best if you don't want many people to point or laugh.
wineanddine Posted December 29, 2004 Posted December 29, 2004 My first time "out" was in a navy blue business suit, but 5" red patent pumps which looked great to me but WAY too obvious and I felt too conspicuous. I've since bought the same in plain black (not patent) and the only chance I will have is out of town in a dark business suit. My question is how obvious or noticeable do you think that will be for outdoor walking at shopping areas and possibly a shoe store visit? Thanks, Wineanddine
