TJDC8 Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 F Y I....I was reading todays (Thursday 3/27) Chicago Tribune and on page 3 came across an ad for The Mister Shop. The ad show a one buckle High Heel. Their web site says they have been a leader over 58 years in mens fashions. The ad states they are having a preview party (free champagne & hors d'oeuvres) this weekend for "Mauri's Shoes". So if you're in the Chicago area this weekend, check them out at the North Riverside Mall. Looks like one store is going to try selling high heels for men.

Thighbootguy Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 The shoes look great, but I can't afford to use the coupons. I dream of a world where chickens can cross roads without having their motives questioned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thighboots2 Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 Well TJ, Looks like you have a job this weekend - reporting back to us all on this event. We wait with baited breath. Are you confusing me with someone who gives a damn? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TJDC8 Posted March 27, 2008 Author Share Posted March 27, 2008 Yes that is the ad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pumpfan Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 It's about time everyone else caught up with us. As much as I would like to wear the heels in my avatar, I might consider going to this event with my GF to show her how many men would go for this. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onyourtoes Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 I'll be the skeptic and parade rainer. 1. Ad designer used women's shoes as a place holder and the correct images never got inserted 2. Introducing The Mister Shop's new Misses Boutique Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhyNotMenToo Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 It's about time everyone else caught up with us. As much as I would like to wear the heels in my avatar, I might consider going to this event with my GF to show her how many men would go for this. Thanks I pray that it's true and it's about time. I also feel it's time to end gender based clothing that men should have the same fashion rights as the woman have enjoyed for 60 years. Equality in Fashion!

Thighboots2 Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 So, are any board members who live in the Chicago area going to see what this is all about? Are you confusing me with someone who gives a damn? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
"Wellies" Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 I am sure that all the guys would want to know the outcome of this event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RonC Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 This was, unfortunately, a mistake. The style they showed is a womans shoe from the same manufacturer. Alsa, they are not selling heels for men (like that would happen in Chicago!). I can tell you, however, that if you're in to the more fetish type heels, there is a store at about 2200 W Belmont in Chicago called Skyscraper Heels that caters to me as well as women. Most shoes come in size 12 or even larger. This place tends toward the quite high heels (thus the name) but do not hesitate to go there to try on and buy heels. The gentleman behind the counter will even fill you in on which ones he finds most comfotable. I just can't get around too well in those five inchers!

ChipsHH Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 Awh! It's a shame it was a mistake. And alot of people (me not included as I just found this topic) was hoping the dream was coming to the light, finally. -sigh- Of course, we can only dream, for now.

flavio Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 Well, they got some attention. Something like "free publicity" from our community. Flavio - Brazilian heel lover, now in France. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
