jeremy1986 Posted March 13, 2018 Posted March 13, 2018 wow- lucky you! Indeed, a classic look. Where did you come by them? Enjoy!!
Steve63130 Posted March 15, 2018 Posted March 15, 2018 I know a lot of you prefer stilettos and that's fine, but as an older guy who wears in public every day, my preference is for lower heels and wider, more stable heels. A recent purchase was a pair of Clark's "Emslie Lulin" mary janes, and you can find my published review of them here: http://www.clarksusa.com/us/womens-technologies/womens-ortholite/emslie-lulin-brown-leather/p/26129222 If you can take a minute and click on the link above, scan the review "Excellent Comfort and Outstanding Design" by Essgkay, and then click on "helpful," it would be good for the public (mostly women) to see a high approval rate of a guy wearing and reviewing women's shoes. Thanks for your help! Steve 1
Pumped Posted March 15, 2018 Posted March 15, 2018 I feel I should warn people here. The Luichiny heels I posted a pic to are pretty poorly constructed. I bought one pair and the platform came undone form the rest of the shoe. The shoe was still in one piece, but when I walked the left hand shoe would flex and make a popping noise. The eBay seller was great and swapped them out. I got the second pair and within a few hours of wearing them the right hand shoe started doing the same thing. This time I figured I would fix them as I love the style. I went out the the shop and carefully peeled back the inner sole out of the toe. I could see where the sole was attached the the platform with staples so I carefully drilled a few small holes through the sole and into the platform until I hit solid material underneath. Two 1-1/4" long sheet rock screws and they are like new. Time will tell how they hold up. If I had payed the retail of $80 I would have sent them back, but for the $36 I will take a chance.
vinheel Posted March 16, 2018 Posted March 16, 2018 My new purchase. New male collection for more virility 2
Pierre1961 Posted March 16, 2018 Posted March 16, 2018 Nice! which brand? How high? Shall i search in the men or woman section ? thanks
Jkrenzer Posted March 16, 2018 Posted March 16, 2018 Today i just got a great "love your heels" comment coming out of the tobacco shop. She then told her daughters to come over and check me out, exclaiming how impressed she was I was wearing my heels. Big discussion at breakfast as well. Gray patent snake print 5" heels must be the tipping point. Everyone just has to comment on them. 5

Jkrenzer Posted March 16, 2018 Posted March 16, 2018 I don't dress, was wearing bluegeans and a decent long sleeved shirt. My beard doesn't lend itself to cross dressing and I'm not into that. I simply wear heels as basic footware. 2
HappyinHeels Posted March 17, 2018 Posted March 17, 2018 maninpumps, I picked up the "Nelly" wedges at the ALdo store today. They fit just fine in the store and I'll try to post a photo here. I really was surprised to see how early Aldo got spring wedges in their inventory but they are available. Right now they have three different ones "Nydalessa", "Tharien" and the "Nelly" I got. Strangley enough the first two named wedges do not appear on their website despite the fact they are in the outlet store. I'll see if I can remember to give them a review. As far as my review to you all it goes like this; Have a chance to get a great new wedge for 2018....go for it! HappyinHeels 1

I saw them again on eBay for $36.00 and figure I could afford it. I love crazy tall heels, crazier and trashier the better! 6 inch heel, 2 inch platform. Luichiny May Lynn. https://shoespost.com/luichiny-may-lynn-red-snake-imi-lea/ You’re exactly like me pumped. Higher the better. I feel so powerful when I wear 6”+ heels. I like the lace at the top of the heels, a steal for $36. Nice find
Mr. X Posted March 19, 2018 Posted March 19, 2018 Here are my latest. The brand is Jules and James. They are sparkly silver with a chrome colored heel. The heel measures 5.25 inches with a semi hidden platform. 2

Love the classy style and have no trouble wearing these in everyday around the house inside and out. Damaging these is fine, prices were right. As I said before Jkrenzer, " Your choice in pumps always have the most classic toe shapes and incredible colors." Those look to possibly all (or mostly) be the same brand / style. Care to share who the manufacturer is? I'm always on the lookout for bold 80's style classic pumps like that for my wife. Myself as well, but rarely do they run up to that size.

For whatever reason the snake print style runs consistently 1/2 size larger.
Barr Posted March 20, 2018 Posted March 20, 2018 These are one of the my latest pairs. A gift actually. They have a low heel, I didn't think I would like them because they weren't tall enough...but I find myself doing chores in them...maybe more chores just to wear them. 1

Not tall enough? They look about 4.5" ... with a stiletto heel! Good for you! Who was the gift from? 1
Barr Posted March 20, 2018 Posted March 20, 2018 @jeremy1986 they are very comfortable! I prefer something over 6 inches. My girlfriend bought them for me when we were strolling the mall. Im thinking of doing heels in a suit, white shirt and tie. This website is opening doors for me. I just haven't really figured out how to navigate this site yet...where would you suggest I post pictures for my next idea? Yes, they are 4.5 inches! =) 1

Yes, they are 4.5 inches! =) Glad to know I estimate heels well 6" in high!! Can you walk in them easily? So lovely of your GF to buy these for you... very special! Did you need you try them on? Regarding posting ideas, maybe open a new thread in the "for the guys" forum. Probably the best place.
Barr Posted March 20, 2018 Posted March 20, 2018 @jeremy1986 I practice. Youtube videos and practice! A majority of my heels are platform, so that makes it easier. My Giaro boots are a little more difficult. I try to do the catwalk strut in front of her, she enjoys it. Most of my heels were purchased online, shes been encouraging me to try them on before the buy. 2
jeremy1986 Posted March 20, 2018 Posted March 20, 2018 That's great - so much better having in-house encouragement. You should totally do it!

I look forward to hearing how well you do figuring out how you like to match heels to clothes. 2 (formerly known as "JimC")

Classic pump style, black patent, and a nice heel height. 3

My wife has a pair of yellow with black polka dot pumps by them and I was surprised at how well they were made myself.
Mr. X Posted March 30, 2018 Posted March 30, 2018 (edited) Here is a stock image of my latest purchase. The brand is Steve Madden and the model is "Feelya". The heel measures about 4 1/4". Edited March 30, 2018 by Mr. X 1
jeremy1986 Posted March 30, 2018 Posted March 30, 2018 A lovely heel, @Mr. X Take a snap for us with them on, when you have a chance
