radiodave Posted October 7, 2005 Posted October 7, 2005 Last weekend I told my girlfriend (already cool with me wearing heels) that I would like to pick out a lower heeled pair, and wear them all weekend. She was cool with that, although I didn't quite get up the gumption to go street heeling. So I picked these out: They were quite comfortable, and her only concern was to be prepared for some guffaws if I wore these in public, but she didn't have a problem if I decided to wear them outside. I found these on eBay, and hopefully they will be on their way soon. I just couldn't resist. I think sandals with a single strap over the toe are cool. Someday maybe I will be wearing these in public, but it might take a little working up to that for me. Still, nice to read about others' experiences here, and I hope to work up that point. -Dave
SandalFan Posted October 7, 2005 Posted October 7, 2005 I think that the only thing more daring than wearing shoes in public is buying them used. I don't care how much you sanitize them before even handling them for the first time... blech...! Personally, they have to be new or I ain't buyin' 'em! I like the straps on the pair you got, but I'm not crazy about round toes. "Basic instincts, social life... Paradoxes side by side... Don't submit to stupid rules... Be yourself and not a fool...

Dawn HH Posted October 7, 2005 Posted October 7, 2005 RadioDave:-) You picked out 2 cool pairs of shoes. The second pair that you showed in your pic will need to be swapped around so that you get them on the right feet. TEE! HEE! Keep us posted when you begin street-heeling in them.

Danielinheels Posted October 7, 2005 Posted October 7, 2005 Wow, that first pair of shoes is awesome! I'm a huge fan of that style, so much that I'd go broke for a pair in my size (and I did, once...) I also agree that sandals with the single strap across the top are nice. Maybe not for street-heeling, per se, but you could definitely do it in the first pair. Rock on! Be yourself; everyone else is already taken. - Oscar Wilde

Nah... he can just start a new trend - cross-legged walking! "Basic instincts, social life... Paradoxes side by side... Don't submit to stupid rules... Be yourself and not a fool...

HeelD Posted October 7, 2005 Posted October 7, 2005 I love the first pair! I'd love to have a pair like those. Enjoy them! Heel-D - Freestyling since 2005
radiodave Posted October 7, 2005 Author Posted October 7, 2005 Thanks, and I do like the first pair a lot. The second pair was listed as being new and never worn, so I guess I'll see if that's true or not. Always a bit of a crapshoot when buying off eBay. I know it's been said if we don't go out and wear them people won't get used to them, but I do dream of the day when we can wear dress shoes that we like. Women have so many different styles that look nice, and we have... Slim pickin's. I do have a pair of lace up sandals (flats) that I wore on vacation earlier this year, and nobody blinked. I'll see if I can get a picture of them. -Dave
sandalcrazy27 Posted October 7, 2005 Posted October 7, 2005 Radiodave, I love both of those styles. Anything that goes aroung my ankle makes me feel sexy. Those are too cute, enjoy. I hope that my wife asks me if i'm giong to wear those 4 inch leg wrap sandals that i bought from NIKE. Just a wish for the men in the world like us.
Dawn HH Posted October 8, 2005 Posted October 8, 2005 RadioDave:-) That first pair of shoes is really nice and I like them myself. Those would be perfect for street-heeling under long jeans. Sandalfan:-) Walking cross-legged...TEE! HEE!. That's rich! Some of us have trouble walking with one foot in front of the other in heels...and you want us to walk cross-legged?

sandalcrazy27 Posted October 10, 2005 Posted October 10, 2005 Dave, Love the shoes, do you shave your legs? They look so smooth in the first picture. I hope that my wife asks me if i'm giong to wear those 4 inch leg wrap sandals that i bought from NIKE. Just a wish for the men in the world like us.
radiodave Posted October 11, 2005 Author Posted October 11, 2005 Yes, thanks, I do shave my legs. Never was very fond of hairy legs, so I took it off with Nair and have shaved since then. -Dave
Dawn HH Posted October 11, 2005 Posted October 11, 2005 RadioDave:-) I understand what you say about shaving legs. I shave mine. It looks much neater than being hairy. Besides that...Dear Abbey says that it is all right for men to shave their legs. Cheers--- Dawn HH High Heeled Boots Forever!
luxxyheels Posted October 11, 2005 Posted October 11, 2005 I shave mine too, but it serves a dual purpose. I have really bad vericose veins on the back of my legs, and having hair there makes them itch more than usual. The other purpose is that I wear pantyhose and stockings, and it would look aweful if I had hairy legs in them.
Dawn HH Posted October 11, 2005 Posted October 11, 2005 Luxxyheels:-) I also wear pantyhose daily and hairy legs and pantyhose together is a no-no. Cheers--- Dawn HH High Heeled Boots Forever!
