Thighbootguy Posted July 18, 2008 Posted July 18, 2008 Johney - Boots over jeans is a great look. The boots are also very nice. Watch out, the boots over jeans thing is addictive. Thigh boots will be next. I dream of a world where chickens can cross roads without having their motives questioned.

johnieheel Posted August 24, 2008 Author Posted August 24, 2008 Wife needed to go to her sisters house to pick up some things for the shop today. She called her sister and told her we were coming over in our heels and her sister, who really loves my red patent 4" stiletto mj's, said she'll be waiting. So for fun, yep, I wore my red mj's. We got to her house and she came out to the porch as I was getting out of the car. A big smile on her face. We went in and her husband was watching tv. I pulled up my pant leg and asked how he liked my re high heels. He said "COOL"! We visited for a while, had normal conversation, and left. It was great! Her side of the family is very excepting and open minded. They except you for who you are, not what you have on your feet. It's been a great day for heels! real men wear heels

I've looked and I don't believe there is one, but I'd like to have an emoticon with green-eyes (jealous). A lot of your posts would be followed by mine, covered in the 'green-eyed-emoticons'. This one, no exception. ...
rxrenesis Posted August 26, 2008 Posted August 26, 2008 Had to run a few errands this past Saturday and a great time to venture out in a pair of heels. Slipped on my peep toe espadrilles and funny not a word. Here I am outside my storage facility. rx If the shoe fits BUY IT http://s10.photobucket.com/albums/a145/rxrenesis/Shoe%20Shots/
johnieheel Posted October 27, 2008 Author Posted October 27, 2008 Yesterday, Sun., wife and I had to to do some running around. I wore my new Colin Stewart knee high 4 1'2" heel boots from Victoria Secrets with straight leg blue jeans and black shirt. Wife wore ankle boots, straight leg blue jeans and nice top w/cute hat. Went to pet store for flooring for Arnold's cage and a toy for kitty. Walked all over with just a couple glances and then chatted with the ladies at the check out. Never a word or strange look from anybody. Stopped at pay less for a moment for a quick look but nothing of interest. Then off to her sisters for a little visit with her and hubby with a get well gift. She just had surgery. Sat there for a couple hours as her hubby and I chatted about everything like shop, plumbing, house maintenance etc. He is totally fine with my heels. He never batted an eye. Her sister loves my heels and insists I wear them when we visit. Left there and stopped at a Mexican place to eat. It was excellent. Walked in clicking on the hard floor, very small and crowded, and not a single head turned. My heels are in plain view at all times. 4 1/2". Enjoyed our dinner and left. Stopped at our local walmart on the way home for a few things and not a single head turned that we noticed there either. Then again I don't really pay attention to what people are looking at much any way. On the way out from the store, a young lady followed us walking just a couple feet behind us. Her car was parked next to ours. As she drove away, she looked over at me and gave me a very nice smile. It was that kind of smile like "nice heels" you do really well in them. This was the first outing in my new boots. Wore them all day and never a sore nothing. So for those of you who are hesitant about going out in your heels. Just be your self and don't pay attention to anyone else and you will have the best time of your life. real men wear heels

hhboots Posted October 28, 2008 Posted October 28, 2008 Nice thread Johnie, just noticing it for the first time. I especially like the pictures from your earlier post here.
mackman69 Posted October 28, 2008 Posted October 28, 2008 i went to work today wearing my black patent knee high boots with 4'' heel and i wore them all day driving my big truck . i got a few stares from some of the guys where i work and where i hauled logs to but really didnt care .
wood&metal Posted October 28, 2008 Posted October 28, 2008 I've been out and about lately in various cowboy style boots with 2.5" to 3" heels, and really the only comment I've had was on my old gringo "rockstars" from a salesman who said "Hey!...Those are some cool boots".. Never frown because you never know who is falling in love with your smile.
johnieheel Posted November 3, 2008 Author Posted November 3, 2008 Took wife to eye doctor today wearing my Colin Stewart knee high 4 1/2" heel boots. Had my shirt on w/ 2008 Ohio HEEL MEET and high heel embroidered on the front. Dr. took a close look at shirt, looked down at boots, said "OK" smiled and business as usual. I sat there waiting for wife as people came in and left. Nobody seemed to mind at all. Just a quick glance and that was it. Chatted with an elderly fellow for a bit and that was pretty much it. 3 older receptionists all got a good look and nothing unusual at all. Just another day in heels. real men wear heels
Dawn HH Posted November 4, 2008 Posted November 4, 2008 Johnieheel:-) Just another day in heels, eh? Any day in heels is a great day for anyone. The more the merrier. Cheers--- Dawn HH High Heeled Boots Forever!
johnieheel Posted December 15, 2008 Author Posted December 15, 2008 Wife and I did a little shopping Sunday. I wore my black boot cut levis w/my Collin Stewart knee high 5" heel boots. The same ones in my avatar. My pants do not go cover the shoe of the boot. The heel is clearly visible. We went to best buys to return something we did not like and was there for about an hour. It was very crowded. I don't think any one noticed at all and if they did, they just didn't care. Then to Joanne Fabrics. Stood in 2 lines for a while and not even a snicker was heard. Off to Kohl's. Wife wanted a couple sweaters. Stood in line for a bit and the girl behind us was whispering in her moms ear as she was looking at my boots. I looked at her, smiled and she smiled back. Then on with business as usual. Out to eat. What can I say. Non eventful. Pretty much just another normal day in heels. real men wear heels
roniheels Posted December 16, 2008 Posted December 16, 2008 Congratulations, Johnie, on another sucessful outing in high heels. I really like those boots, too. It sounds like all of us are either getting zero, or positive reaction to our high heels in public.
secondtake20 Posted December 16, 2008 Posted December 16, 2008 Another great outting Johnie!! Thanks for sharing.

jwhite44 Posted December 16, 2008 Posted December 16, 2008 No but I was looking at those. Mine are lace up and zip. Did you buy them at Victoria Secrets? I didn't them online, maybe they're an older pair. Have you posted pictures of them in any other threads? I'd like to see some larger (than your avatar!) pictures of them.
johnieheel Posted December 16, 2008 Author Posted December 16, 2008 Yes, I got them on line from Victoria Secrets this year. They went fast. real men wear heels
Mae Posted December 20, 2008 Posted December 20, 2008 I just came home from a "dress up" symphony Christmas concert with my wife. I wore a black sport coat, red turtle neck shirt, and gray herringbone slacks. I gave my wife a choice of 5 different pair of shoes to choose from for me to wear: 2.5" chunk heel penny loafers, 2" wedge heel loafer, 3" chunk heel ankle boot, 2" slightly tapered heel red pump, and the shoe that my wife and teenage daughter picked in the attached picture. It had a 2.75" tapered heel with the smallest "heel" footprint of all of the choices. I was certainly pleasantly surprised and excited to get this opportunity to heel in public. At the concert I saw and spoke to 3 people that I knew. I also had to walk up a flight of stairs, which gives the person behind you a full view of your heels. No one stared at, or commented on my shoes. It made for a fun evening to enjoy the concert, a night out with my wife, and being able to wear fun shoes.
jwhite44 Posted December 20, 2008 Posted December 20, 2008 I was expecting you to post pictures of all 5, and have us vote on which ones we thought were selected for you! Here's a link to them from zappos, for those wanting to see more views: http://zeta.zappos.com/product/7439686/color/40579 Seeing them makes me even more interested in seeing the rest, as no way would I consider these to have a "small heel footprint". Nice also to see that you apparently got an a little extra height, since zappos list these as have 2 1/2" heel.
Mae Posted December 20, 2008 Posted December 20, 2008 I will line them up and take pictures of backs and sides; maybe later today.
