Zappos Shoe Digest

[Magickman]

Somewhat by accident, I discovered that Zappos Shoes has an on-line shoe digest of letters and comments about shoe-related topics.

So, just for fun, I wrote a short letter, which they published a few days later.

================================

Here it is:

From: Magickman

Subject: Shoe gender

Breaking the barrier in shoe gender is guaranteed to raise hackles. It

gets some people quite upset. But there are guys who enjoy crossing

this line.

I have great fun at my local area singles dances, showing up in womens

boots with 4" and even 5" heels. Most of the women who I ask, are quite

willing to dance with the man in heels. In the heel boots, I am around

3" taller, and height is a big deal to many women. The gals seem to

like me better, when I am taller in heels, than when I am shorter, in

flat shoes.

A lot of them say they cannot wear heels themselves, and they are

amazed that I can dance in stilettos.

You might laugh, but I am a fellow who loves to go dancing in heels.

Magickman,

I get that email often too. Today I saw the heading and knew it had to be somebody from here. Congratulations on getting them to run it.

I had sent in something similar about 6 months ago, but never saw mine in their newsletter.

Maybe many of us here should respond to Magickman's Post. I have!

If you missed the email, here it is again....
