joenj Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 Hi. I plan to wear these boots everywhere. I just moved ( July 1st ) to a nicer town, near the train station. It is my first *real apartment* ( a studio apartment ) . My neighbors will have to get used to my wearing women's shoes, at times. I will *not* suffer the FFOYF ( Fall Flat On Your Face ) syndrome, LOL. My "heel-height" will be 3" . These boots are 2 1/4". Cheers. --- end --- /signed/ Joe in North-east New Jersey USA /// Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubba136 Posted September 1, 2005 Share Posted September 1, 2005 Good for you, Joe. Go for it....you can do it. And, you'll be surprised how easy it is........and, why didn't you go for it a long time ago..... Being mentally comfortable in your own mind is the key to wearing heels in public.

Dawn HH Posted September 1, 2005 Share Posted September 1, 2005 Joenj:-) That's an excellent pair of discrete boots for work and street-heeling. You should be able to wear them anywhere unnoticed. Enjoy and like Bubba says...why not before? Cheers--- Dawn HH High Heeled Boots Forever! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joenj Posted September 1, 2005 Share Posted September 1, 2005 I am high-heeled at work today, woo-hoo!!! These are: St. John's Bay (brand) "Margo", in Black. 2 1/4" heel. ( There is a zipper on both sides of boots ) . Some looks, in my town; though no comments. The secretary (Carol) thinks they are nice. I told her about my knowledge of my heel height ( 3" or less). These will make me feel special, and nice, as I go through my life at work. My life has been tough enough. /signed/ Joe in North-east New Jersey USA /// Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joenj Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 Bubba --- You have forgotten my notes/posts about my wearing 2" <<Luceta>> boots that I bought. These, the Margo ( St. Johns Bay ) boots are Leather, not Vinyl, and are better quality. I *HAVE* been "in heels'' at work before. You forgot, I have no problems with heels up to 3 1/2". Hey, Joe, what have we been trying to tell ya? !!!!! Good going and the more you wear them the greater confidence you'll gain.

Dawn HH Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 Dougal:-) A very nice pair of boots with a different design on the shafts. Wearing them to work fully exposed must have really taken some of your co-workers by surprise. Especially with such a deep platform on them. Have you worn boots fully exposed to work on previous occasions? I'm wondering just what some of the reactions and comments might have been? Cheers--- Dawn HH High Heeled Boots Forever!

And the blokes just looked on is amazement at all the attention i was getting, not one of them said anything to me, good or bad, so tomorrow i will tone it down a bit and wear these with my blue stonewash jeans tucked into them, a look i'm very much into at the moment! http://www.tallgirls.co.uk/includes/supplyimage.cfm?StockID=184&ImageType=-4&ImageID=1578 Why do we have to conform with fashion???

HeelD Posted October 6, 2005 Share Posted October 6, 2005 Dougal - wow! Those are some eye catching boots. A VERY VERY brave man you are. Not something I would wear. But nonetheless glad you enjoy them. joenj - those boots look like no problem to wear. Very "masculine" looking. They look very nice as well. Where did you get them from? I love the boots the model above is wearing. I'd love to have a pair of those! The model ain't bad either!!

JeffB Posted October 7, 2005 Share Posted October 7, 2005 Dougal: I would agree that denim would work well with those brown boots. An excellent choice. The styling works to perfection. Be sure to tell us how it goes! I don't want to LOOK like a woman, I just want to DRESS like a woman! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dougal Posted October 7, 2005 Author Share Posted October 7, 2005 ok, the ladies in the office liked the brown boots alot, they said they weren't overly feminen yet still looked different on me especially as i had my jeans tucked into them, and a few of the fella, who were scared but my previous days choice came and said hello and asked why i was wearing them. I said because i want to. And that was that. My name is known around the whole company now and not in a bad way either!! So maybe career wise. it may pay off!!! you never know!!!!

Thighbootguy Posted October 7, 2005 Share Posted October 7, 2005 Dougal – I have never mixed my footwear and work. I was surprised that you wore the boots with the platform boots with the steel ring decoration to the office. The brown pair, however, are much more conservative and as the ladies in the office said “they weren't overly feminine”. I think they look great especially over jeans. Something I might be even be able to wear in my office setting. I am intrigued by an office environment where you could wear those platform boots with the steel rings. Can you tell us a little about your office environment? Can you also tell us where you found those brown boots? (I’m holding out faint hope they come is a size large enough). By the way, I like your avitar a lot but I haven’t been able to find a pair in a 14. I dream of a world where chickens can cross roads without having their motives questioned.

Dawn HH Posted October 8, 2005 Share Posted October 8, 2005 Dougal:-) Congrats on your name suddenly being known around the company, but in a good way. At least now everyone knows that you wear heeled boots and maybe you could capitalize slowly on that similar to what JeffB has. That takes time and little by little.....who knows?

JeffB Posted October 9, 2005 Share Posted October 9, 2005 Dougal: I'm glad to have read that you were accepted at the place where you work in your boots. So I guess I'm alone alone in being an at-work heeler anymore! HA! I continue to say that I've been very lucky to have had no problems wearing women's shoes at the office, co-workers see me an a loyal, trustworthy and hardworking fellow, the shoes are merely part of my overall identity, one they've all become accustomed to. I'm sure that in time, you'll enjoy that same level of comfort. I don't want to LOOK like a woman, I just want to DRESS like a woman! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
