kiltsrgr8 Posted February 5, 2005 Share Posted February 5, 2005 Hey everyone, I hope I am doing this right and not messing up the forum at all , this might have been started already a bazzilion times so I appoligize if thats the case , but anyway I thought I would post some pics of a few of my favs I wear to work as I am having fun now that I have this picture thing down , and find out what everyone fav work shoe is if you wear them to work. Here are a nice pair of t-straps that are super comfortable to wear and I think look awsome (These are the ones I mentioned in an earlyer post about great reactions) These are one of my alltime favs and really speak a lot about my kind of style , I love the sneaker / heel look and the strap is the ultimite finishing touch! They are just to cool ... And my current fav (My favs always change!) is this one made by splash , the most darring shoe I wear to work , but drew a lot of compliments and OMG's but that was the BEST part of it all, I love them as you can see by my avitar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffB Posted February 5, 2005 Share Posted February 5, 2005 Well, these are what I wear at the office on a daily basis: Ros Hommerson "Ingra" pumps in black and red. I've always loved the shape of the heel. Sexy Shoes, style 5990. My current favorite, I LOVE these shoes! I have these sharp looking pumps in black, black patent, brown, navy and turquoise. I'll soon have them in bone and white. They also come in purple, and they're on my mind too! Sexy Shoes, style 5994. The sleekest looking slingbacks I've ever seen. I have them in black and brown with gold highlights. Sexy Shoes, style 4211. My first pair of five inchers, I have these shoes in gray and they're so cool! As I get used to wearing fives, I might just add more colors to my collection including burgundy as shown above. I don't want to LOOK like a woman, I just want to DRESS like a woman!

RichHeels Posted February 5, 2005 Share Posted February 5, 2005 Nice shoes kiltsrgr8! I wish I could wear heels to work. Unfortunately, the line of work I'm in requires that flats be worn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 5, 2005 Share Posted February 5, 2005 That makes two of us, Rich But my shoes that I posted in the "For Everyone" section would serve as my "icebreaker" shoes should I ever land a position in corporate. I kinda like the heel/sneaker style too. It takes a rather common style of men's shoe and makes it do a complete 180. Wish I could find some in my size, I'd be all over them.

kiltsrgr8 Posted February 5, 2005 Author Share Posted February 5, 2005 Jeff , I love your shoes , I really like those sling backs , they are so nice looking and very sexy! I wish I had a pair like that , but do most of my shopping in stores and don't usualy see that style Thanks for showing your great shoes! You have such a great classy look!

Guest Posted February 5, 2005 Share Posted February 5, 2005 These would be my basic, everyday style - nice buckle ornament, moderate heel height. Casual day! These would likely never make it to the office, and if they did, it'd be because I took them in. I dream of the day when Zappos marks these down, but they'd have to be in a fairly modest color (black, brown, bone, navy, etc). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firefox Posted February 5, 2005 Share Posted February 5, 2005 Any of a variety of cowboy heels, block heels, and blades about mostly about 3.5 to 4 inch. I have a lot of pairs to choose from! I don't think there's much probem wearing heels to work. It does depend on the occupation I agree. Some can't wear them for safety reasons. But I've heard a lot of people say "It wouldn't be accepted" but then they never even tried it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loveheel Posted February 6, 2005 Share Posted February 6, 2005 kiltsrgr8, that is a great story. Thanks for sharing it. It is great that they hired you based on your job qualities and didn't get all worked up about the shoes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffB Posted February 6, 2005 Share Posted February 6, 2005 I don't think there's much probem wearing heels to work. It does depend on the occupation I agree. Some can't wear them for safety reasons. But I've heard a lot of people say "It wouldn't be accepted" but then they never even tried it... What Firefox said is quite true. Being able to wear heels at one's place of work depends on what the work happens to be. I work in an office environment (I call it "cubicleville") where supervisors are more concerned with getting the daily work done and not so much on what employees wear. Heck, I've never even seen a posted list or guidelines regarding a dress code at where I work. The only hard and fast rule is casual wear (jeans, sneakers, etc.) only on Fridays. The dress on Mondays through Thursdays is best described as business casual. For the men, no suits are required, just nice shirts and dress pants, not many even bother with ties or jackets. At the risk of tooting my own horn, I like to think I'm probably the best dressed male in the facility, and that because I have to wear clothes as nice as my shoes. Dockers and polo shirts are a major no-no with my pumps. And for sure I wear higher heels than pretty much ALL the women there. There are a few who come moderately close, but not many. As I've stated on previous posts, I've had no problems with being accepted for the shoes I choose to wear at work. My immediate supervisor absolutely gushes at my shoes. It certainly helps that I'm a good worker with a good personality. So, it can work, it all depends on the environment. I don't want to LOOK like a woman, I just want to DRESS like a woman!

Dr. Shoe Posted February 6, 2005 Share Posted February 6, 2005 At the moment I work as a trucker so heels are a definite no no for safety reasons if nothing else. I need toetectors, non-slip, oil resistant soles and they have to be anti-static as I carry chemicals. However, as we are looking at taking over The Little Shoe Box, you never know!

But to think of this... with our dress code.. you see way too many pairs of sweats/warm up pants (my self included) and t-shirts etc.... BUT if someone (male or especially female) dresses up.. it is really noticed (which i love when the ladies do actually wear heels and pantyhose/stockings everyone thinks you have a job interview :drinking: ----------------------------------------------- Used to be cosmo_loves_PH before the crash!

docs41 Posted February 14, 2005 Share Posted February 14, 2005 kiltsrgr8, I like your taste! The shoes in your avatar are incredible! Are they slides or do they have ankle straps? Do you go to work with your nails painted too? I wear fem shoes to work but nothing anywhere near as obvious as that although I would love to. It's neat that you like the Sassy style by Scholls. As you can tell by my avatar I do too. If the shoe fits-buy it!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just had to get the white shoes (in my avitar) Yes I wear them to work with my toenails polished (They look so good with my sasseys as well .....) , I also do my finger nails , but that is not for hhplace ..... Thank you docs41 for the compliment on my tastes! , sometimes I think maybe I am alone in my strange tastes and ways .... Maybe you could try a pair of original Dr schools with some cool polish to work to start with? that would be really cool! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubba136 Posted February 15, 2005 Share Posted February 15, 2005 Kiltsrgr8, there is a thread for polished fingernails and toenails on the forum. Just look around and you'll easily find it. I am more curious about your line of work and work place. It's quit unusual for a man to be able to wear high heels and painted nails to work. What kind of work do you do and what do your workmates think of the way you dress? Being mentally comfortable in your own mind is the key to wearing heels in public.

micha Posted February 15, 2005 Share Posted February 15, 2005 Yes I love the sassy style!, wish I had more of them. Thats cool! a fellow sassy style lover! I just had to get the white shoes (in my avitar) , My heart was beeting so fast when I found them , and in my size! 10's are hard to come by sometimes. They are slides , no ankle strap , they are comfortable , I think 4 or 4 1/4 high , never checked and box didn't say. I have to admit I love anything wood , but these are not real wood (sigh) , but the look is very good I think. They are from a brand called splash bought at burlington coat factor , I just bought a pair of high heeled clogs two days ago with the same type heel for the same price $12.96 , can't go wrong there ... Yes I wear them to work with my toenails polished (They look so good with my sasseys as well .....) , I also do my finger nails , but that is not for hhplace ..... Thank you docs41 for the compliment on my tastes! , sometimes I think maybe I am alone in my strange tastes and ways .... Maybe you could try a pair of original Dr schools with some cool polish to work to start with? that would be really cool! Hi Kilts are great, I hope to have translated your nick name correctly- you like wearing skirts? I like the shoes of your avatar too After a long research in the world wide web I've found an american company offering similar "zoccoli" style heels even up to male sizes http://www.shoesusa.com They offer wonderful wooden mules and sandalettes. But their prices and especially the shipping costs to Europe ... Coming back to the original theme: I don't wear heels at work but often in my free time - I explained it just in another thread. nice greetings micha The best fashion is your own fashion!

micha Posted February 15, 2005 Share Posted February 15, 2005 Hi micha, Not to get off the subject , but my wife loves Germany! She spent a good amount of time there when she was younger! Thanks Micha ... perfect translation ... to my name! Yes I wear kilts and sarongs. I do wear skirts as well , if they are the right style or length etc , but don't wear the skirts outside much , I love sarongs with Dr scholls the best! - they are great for the pool ..... Thank You so much for the information , I am going to check out their site right now .... Nice to meet you ...... Hi Kilts Are Great, thank you very much for your long and engaged answer about your experiences during your work on heels and polished foot nails. I'm happy to know that there are other 'high heels punks' like you in the big wide world In my daily life I'm wearing nearly always high heels. But in my job I'm a free lancer. I don't like to loose a potential customer only because I'm mad about of wearing high heels. Did you already take a look on the website of ShoesUSA? I fell in love with the model "Candy Platform" http://www.shoesusa.com/product_detail.php?prod_id=558 119$ is still OK for handmade shoes. But the additional shipping costs to Germany, import toll and VAT, grhhh .... nice greetings micha Still a post scriptum: Germany has become luckily a stable democracy and a very tolerant country after our bad history. And it's a country with wonderful landscapes and old historical towns. Therefore I like my country. The best fashion is your own fashion! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was a contractor for corporate education teaching high level computer programing. I only dared wear stockings and flats of some sort that passed for male shoes.
