Man-in-Boots Posted January 6, 2005 Posted January 6, 2005 I am wondering if any of you know that your dad wears heels. My dad dosent but he have a wide collection of cowboys boots.
Bubba136 Posted January 6, 2005 Posted January 6, 2005 Did you ever ask him why he liked to wear cowboy boots? (My dad didn't wear heels, either). Being mentally comfortable in your own mind is the key to wearing heels in public.
Stormie Posted January 6, 2005 Posted January 6, 2005 My dad used to have a pair of cowboy boots (maybe he still does, I don't know). I have no idea whether he wears other sorts of heels though. If you are too open-minded your brains will fall out.
Dr. Shoe Posted January 6, 2005 Posted January 6, 2005 In 1978 my Dad bought the fanciest pair of cowboy boots ever. they weren't particularly high heeled but certainly the kind of boot that gets noticed. Later I was discussing my transvetism with my father and he admitted that he had always been fascinated by the drag culture though had never cross dressed. So it does make me wonder.

sendra45 Posted January 6, 2005 Posted January 6, 2005 Hi, I am not sure where the heels thing comes from, as for my dad, no chance. my brothers, no chance, my sisters, all in flats now. I have one nephew who I am watching very closely though. Nigel The angels have the phonebox.
Dude Posted January 6, 2005 Posted January 6, 2005 my dad: no chance my brother: maybe other family members: no change
genebujold Posted January 7, 2005 Posted January 7, 2005 Sorry - first-generation heel wearer. Although if the historical fashion plates are accurate, there's a good chance the French passion with high heels (mainly those worn by men) caught on with at least some of my ancestors in the 1700s...
new_look Posted January 10, 2005 Posted January 10, 2005 i dont think my dad does or would from surface opinion. however in the back of my mind ive always wondered if my interest may have stemmed from him in some way, or even if there was a pair of heels around and he ws on his own, would he not resist to try them......... who knows.... daz
heelsRus Posted January 10, 2005 Posted January 10, 2005 i dont think my dad does or would from surface opinion. however in the back of my mind ive always wondered if my interest may have stemmed from him in some way, or even if there was a pair of heels around and he ws on his own, would he not resist to try them......... who knows.... daz I don't think mine would have worn them, and I know he wouldn't now. My mother's favourite shoes are running shoes these days. However, I was told when I was a teenie-bopper that they were expecting a girl. Hasn't affected me much (mostly found it amusing) though. I wonder if I could use it an excuse to wear heels and skirts around them Ok, probably not. But then they do seem to be accepting of stuff, so ... nah, won't bother trying.
nhoj62 Posted January 10, 2005 Posted January 10, 2005 my dad does not wear heels he thinks me wearing heels is silly an both of them think i will reck my ankles, which is untrue as i am careful of my joints, knowing the kind of strains i put them under, during the various jobs i have done an do. so i am a first generation heel wearer and proud of it. later nhoj62 the higher the boot, the higher the heel, the better the feeling!
shrimper Posted January 11, 2005 Posted January 11, 2005 I can't say for certain, but I think my dad might have. There was a pair of heels under his side of the bed.
HeeledMarc Posted January 11, 2005 Posted January 11, 2005 Not a chance, except for clogs, he wore with 2" heels. May be my love of clogs comes from him... except, I prefer 5" . Marc
bootluvr Posted January 13, 2005 Posted January 13, 2005 Hi All. Mine only in Work Boots being Carpenter, then Wintertime it's (still) the old standby Rubber Buckle or Zippered Over-The-Shoe Guloshes(?). Boots Rock!!!!
Dawn HH Posted January 13, 2005 Posted January 13, 2005 My Dad was definately not a heel wearer and I am. Where it all came from, I don't know as Dad never even owned a pair of cowboy boots, but I have owned a couple of pairs myself. Like a lot of you, I am a first generation heel wearer and the last in our family as I am the last living male. So, I started it all and I'm sure to end it all when it comes to heel wearing. Cheers--- Dawn HH High Heeled Boots Forever!
Bubba136 Posted January 13, 2005 Posted January 13, 2005 Geeze Dawn, if your desire to extend the line of heel wearers into the next generation is really strong, you and Mickey can always adopt young DAZ! Being mentally comfortable in your own mind is the key to wearing heels in public.
sendra45 Posted January 13, 2005 Posted January 13, 2005 Well, I was expecting to see loads of post on this subject suggesting that it might be something passed down from father to son, but it would apear that we are either a new breed or our dads were very good at hiding their heels. If we follow the new breed theory, then perhaps we wont have anything to pass on down the line to our sons? (exept I have a daughter, picture found on the bristol real life meet) 'twould be a shame.

Stormie Posted January 13, 2005 Posted January 13, 2005 well, if it was passed on from father to son that would imply a genetic influence, and I don't think what your likes and dislikes are can be explained away as a matter of genetics. If there was a heel-wearing bloke on here who has a heel-wearing dad, it is more likely that he has learned that wearing the heels is a 'normal' thing to do through his dad wearing them around him (which I assume he must have done for the heely to know he wears them). This is much the same way that people learn various prejudices etc. from their parents. I'm out on a bit of a limb here, but just my 2p If you are too open-minded your brains will fall out.
Dawn HH Posted January 14, 2005 Posted January 14, 2005 Bubba136:-) I read your last post about adopting young Daz to Mickey and she had a good belly laugh about that one. TEE! HEE! HEE!!! We are a little too old to start over with anything like that for sure, for sure. The only thing that Mickey will adopt now is a stray puppy, well maybe not a stray. She always says that the only thing she does is puppies, not babies, and older children and young adults are strictly out. Cheers--- Dawn HH High Heeled Boots Forever!
Bubba136 Posted January 14, 2005 Posted January 14, 2005 Gosh, Dawn!!! That's to bad. And to think he's already house broken. Being mentally comfortable in your own mind is the key to wearing heels in public.
highheellover Posted January 14, 2005 Posted January 14, 2005 quite an interesting thread. Girls and heels rock.
new_look Posted January 14, 2005 Posted January 14, 2005 well young daz wont take long to be old Daz at 22 and counting. i doubt Dawn and Mickey could put up with me anyway, probably drive em mad like i do my dad
Dawn HH Posted January 17, 2005 Posted January 17, 2005 Daz:-) Yeah! But at least your house-broken. Do you chase cars? If so, lets see you catch my Marauder, or the Vette. And now, back to "Your Dad wears heels". Cheers--- Dawn HH High Heeled Boots Forever!
Guest Posted January 17, 2005 Posted January 17, 2005 My Dad used to wear high heels a lot - but I grew up with a music/theatrical background so it didn't seem that unusual to me or my sister. Both us girls got into high heels in our quite early teens - and Dad threw a fit!!! We couldn't figure it out - it was OK for him, but not for us! Until he pointed out that HE wore them on stage with his pop group - and WE wore them to places were lots young strapping lads used to go!! I guess he had a point!! He's 68 now - and unsurprisingly doesn't wear them much - if at all. However - I have still got a pair of his black thghboots from the '70s which were made for him especially with stilettos - as most heels were platforms then.
micha Posted January 18, 2005 Posted January 18, 2005 I am wondering if any of you know that your dad wears heels. My dad dosent but he have a wide collection of cowboys boots. Hi Man-in-Boots, my dad wore definitely never heels. Why am I so sure? He was member in the Hitler youth like everyone in Germany and became 1944 soldier at an age of 18 years. As passionated glider he was keen on getting pilot but his red-green-blindless saved him from this kamikaze carreer as fighter pilot. So he became a simple radio operator. Luckily he was not involved any more in big battles. He was taken as british prisoneer in northern germany. And if he hadn't survived this ugly war I couldn't answer here If he ever should have had the same passion like me, he must have hidden it perfectly! My father died two years ago by cancer. I didn't like to disturb him in his last years because of my passion of heels wearing. He knew about my homosexuality for years. Not easy for him but I'm sure that he has accepted it finally. My mother and my sisters know that I like wearing heels. micha The best fashion is your own fashion!
Dawn HH Posted January 18, 2005 Posted January 18, 2005 Spikeheelhoney:-) Your Dad was certainly right about those straping young lads, and it is always the thing for Dad's to protect their young daughters and he had 2 to look after. Can't fault him for that. I'm 2 years older than your Dad and at 70, I'm STILL wearing heels. Cheers--- Dawn HH High Heeled Boots Forever!
heelsRus Posted January 18, 2005 Posted January 18, 2005 Spikeheelhoney:-) Your Dad was certainly right about those straping young lads, and it is always the thing for Dad's to protect their young daughters and he had 2 to look after. Can't fault him for that. Dawn HH I can wait for my daughter to get to dating age, for sure. Let's see..... dating age these days is, what, 7? Ugh. I'm definitely overprotective. The young punk that wants to date my daughter had better impress me (and continue to do so over time!). Is it ok to do a security check on them first??
Dawn HH Posted January 18, 2005 Posted January 18, 2005 HeelsRus:-) A security check? That may be a bit of over-kill. Of course, you will give her that fatherly chat about not being able to marry until she is 30 years old. Cheers--- Dawn HH High Heeled Boots Forever!
Guest Posted January 18, 2005 Posted January 18, 2005 HeelsRus In this day and age - I think a daughter would be happier if you did a CREDIT check instead of a security check!!
