Arctic Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 Welcome to the NYC heelmeet on July 26, 2008! The exact place has not yet been determined, but the flyer will be updated as we nail down the details so the picture above will always be correct. I suggest to meet on 5th ave, close to where all the fashion action is. For example near the NY City Public Library. Objective of the day is to meet people who enjoy seeing and wearing high heeled shoes, and appreciate intelligent company with similar interest. We welcome all tolerant people male and female. Possible agenda: 1) a fresh beer or cocktail to get started 2) a stroll along 5th ave 3) high heel retail transations 4) wining and dining 5) NYC nightlife Welcome! What's all the fuss about?

kneehighs Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 I'll definitely catch up with you guys later on in the day (7-8 pm) as I already have plans on Saturday. It's nice to see someone else take initiative to schedule a meet. Feminine Style . Masculine Soul. Skin In The Game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stilettoscot Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 I don't know. Arctic suggested that some of us take the train in from CT together. I guess that would mean no uncomfortable shoes..LOL Walking in ultra-highs because it's exciting...and it is!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arctic Posted June 30, 2008 Author Share Posted June 30, 2008 My advise is to go comfortable with the heels, unless you have decades of all-day high heel wearing, I'd be "conservative" if you intend to walk home. Wearing 4" for a day is plenty of fun. Except for the very few, 5-ish" heels for a whole day with many miles to walk is the equivalent of eating an entire wedding cake by yourself.

gary0618 Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 Is anyone going to be driving to the event? I will be driving. Why? do you need a lift? FLAT SHOES, LIKE FLAT DRINKS, ARE FOR FLAT PEOPLE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billyb Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 Good luck with your heel meet sure wish I could be there with ya, will be in sprit, Take lots of pic's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kneehighs Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 I will be driving. Why? do you need a lift? No, no lift needed, thanks though. I won't be able to show up until dinner time. I was just thinking that you guys should visit Girls Love Shoes on The Lower East Side/Chinatown, which you could easily drive to. The store owner Zia Ziprin is 100% supportive of men in heels, as seen somewhere in the comments section of the heelsformen myspace page. Even if you don't wind up buying anything, you might find the trip to meet Zia in it of itself a memorable experience. Ultimately how you get there, whether by car or train, really doesn't matter anyway. Feminine Style . Masculine Soul. Skin In The Game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arctic Posted July 3, 2008 Author Share Posted July 3, 2008 I was just thinking that you guys should visit Girls Love Shoes Now that is the kind of info we need more of. People with NYC shopping experience, throw them on the table here, and we can set up a tour a few days before the "event". What's all the fuss about?

kneehighs Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 If shoe shopping during the meet is what you want to do: 1. Saks--remember the dedicated Zip Code for their shoe department 2. Claro Shoes 3. Union Square area--DSW Shoe Warehouse....Nine West and Aldo also nearby Feminine Style . Masculine Soul. Skin In The Game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arctic Posted July 14, 2008 Author Share Posted July 14, 2008 Let's see who still jumps on board! Here you got an impression of where exactly we will meet - it'll be in this neighborhood. I had some business to conduct just on that street corner a few days ago! What's all the fuss about? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kneehighs Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 It's always refreshing to meet a person new to The City. There's always a romantic undertone to the skyscraper, a romantic overtone to the smell from the subway grates and an artistic excellence ascribed to the most blase of all experiences from the hot dog vendor to the yellow cab. I love the enthusiasm. Feminine Style . Masculine Soul. Skin In The Game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arctic Posted July 15, 2008 Author Share Posted July 15, 2008 You won't often hear me quote Madonna (the pop star), but since I live around here, "... I don't like cities, but I like New York..." really resonates. It's always been nice to visit here, but the place continues to impress me after several months. A fresh picture from yesterday's Times Square, we were out with my wife and the kids (baby and 3 yo). What's all the fuss about? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arctic Posted July 26, 2008 Author Share Posted July 26, 2008 Quick update from the field! The number of participants turned out to be lower than expected, but morale is high! Weather is great 25C/75F, and we have visited Battery Park, Chistopher street, the NY library, and now at 45th street on 5th ave. Time to refuel before the fashion section kicks in! I will post a picture every now and then on share.ovi.com/boots in the heelmeetny 2008 channel. What's all the fuss about? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stilettoscot Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 Arctic, You're awsome buddy! You know the deal with me...yesterday didn't live up to the hype. Here's a pic of my day yesterday. Made it about halfway. Tow driver was actually kinda funny about my ordeal, and took this great pic to sum up my not-so-glorious day.... Only good thing was during the 5+ hours I was at the shop, I never changed back into my regular shoes. The 3 people at the garage I saw all day didn't seem to notice. Except the tow drive, who seemed to be amused. Thank you for doing the work once again. I am sorry things went the way they do. Let's talk soon.
