l8texboy Posted March 14, 2009 Posted March 14, 2009 I have only 1 pairs but i want to buy another in futur. for now i only wear it at home ,but i hope go at fetish party with my boots.
Stilettoscot Posted March 14, 2009 Posted March 14, 2009 I just counted for fun and somehow have acquired enough to be up to 41 pairs (including 11 pairs of ultras!)! Thanks E-Bay...LOL Walking in ultra-highs because it's exciting...and it is!!
k6ps Posted March 15, 2009 Posted March 15, 2009 Hi, I consider myself a very beginner heeler and have so far only 4 pairs of high-heeled shoes, all acquired within the last several months: - 6,5cm/2,5'' block heel brown oxfords - 10cm/4'' stacked heel rust-colored closed toe clogs -- these are my favorites - 13cm/5'' stiletto heel beige ankle boots with 1cm/0,5'' platform -- it requires still more practice to walk on these - 12cm/4,5'' very chunky heel 70's style cork-soled 4cm/1,5'' platforms, open toe slingback sandals -- these go very well with hippie-like outfit I'm trying to not acquire very many shoes, but only those that i absolutely can't resist, are not too "feminine" (for me), and can be considered for public heeling at least for special occasions. My wife has to like them too. Also i'd like to try different styles of heels, e.g. i'm now looking for nice soft-looking wedges, oxfords or loafers. Most pumps, mary janes, mules, and sandals wouldn't go for me, but i like to choose them for my wife Happy Heeling k6ps
Guest Posted March 15, 2009 Posted March 15, 2009 I may have posted before here but I suppose an update can be an easy excuse. In barely 7 months I have bought 10. twin strap Mary Janes (asda) (4") now retired -too tight Calf length boots (4") Kneehigh boots (1" platform 5" later lifted to 5 1/3) low platform sandals (peacocks) (1/2" Platform 5") Black patent courts/pumps (newlook) (4 1/4") Ankle boots (peacocks) (4") rubbish too soft arch -heel folded Ankle boots (clarks) (3 1/2) knee boots (river island) (4") brown hidden platform courts (New look) (4 3/4) stack heel courts (new look) (3/4 plat 5 1/4) Must sit down and do a "group" photo. Apart from the sandals and the last two pairs of courts on the list I have worn out either enroute to work during the last 7 weeks of walking or around towns, did try to go in the browns but kept stepping out so 100yards and bailed out so to speak. During the walking period some have been reheeled twice. Just mastering the stack heels which were the last addition into my gallery Al
heeler Posted March 16, 2009 Posted March 16, 2009 I own four pairs (all black), purchased in the past 3 or 4 months. My partner has been great about it since i told her last year, so we go window shopping for shoes regularly now. I'd like to have the courage to walk into a store myself one day and ask to try some on!!
jerry Posted March 16, 2009 Posted March 16, 2009 Let's hope you all aren't wearing those heels! Anyway my mom has a bunch of shoes.
luxxyheels Posted March 16, 2009 Posted March 16, 2009 I have about 25 pairs of heels, and always looking for more.
Bubba136 Posted March 16, 2009 Posted March 16, 2009 Let's hope you all aren't wearing those heels! Anyway my mom has a bunch of shoes. What are you talking about? Most of the guys that are members here, and say they own high heels, wear them. Why else would they buy them? Being mentally comfortable in your own mind is the key to wearing heels in public.
l8texboy Posted March 16, 2009 Posted March 16, 2009 go shoping today and a find this one i'm very happy.
Guest Posted March 16, 2009 Posted March 16, 2009 Jerry "not all at the same time" is what I think you mean Al
heelsandhose Posted March 17, 2009 Posted March 17, 2009 Over the past 20 years I have acquired over 200 pair of pumps, sandals, and boots; all with heels of course.
Kris Posted March 24, 2009 Posted March 24, 2009 I have ten pairs mostly wedge platform sandals all are approximately 4 inches with a 1 inch platform. I have two pairs of wedge heeled clogs at about 4 inches high. I also have one pair of 6inch black mules and one pair of 7 inch platform mules in white. No boots as of yet, but who knows I am not done shopping.
Pascal Posted March 26, 2009 Posted March 26, 2009 I have one pair of knee-high leather boots (about 3 ½ inches), one pair of 3 inches black leather pumps and red pumps (man made leather) with about 2 ½ heels. All those heels were buyed online, for the next pair I'll try them before I buy. I'll get more of what fits for my feet. (I wear size 10 or 11 in girls size).
RonC Posted March 27, 2009 Posted March 27, 2009 Well, if we just look at the present moment, I have 6 pair. However, if I still had all the ones I bought and only wore a couple times beofre passing them on, the number would likely be well over 100. The difficult part is storing them somewhere that family members won't find (I am not out about my heeling). So most often they are purchased, worn a few times, and then, as I have taken to doing these days, I will toss them in to a Salvation Army (or other used clothing collection) box. That way, at least someone else gets to enjoy what are typically like new shoes. I am always curious as to how many of my gently used heels end up with other males. I know the second hand shops I visit with some regularity most often do not have much in the way of large sizes. But someone is getting my hand me downs!
HHLover Posted April 1, 2009 Posted April 1, 2009 Almost 20 pairs, all of them heels. All but one pair, stilettos.
chris100575 Posted April 3, 2009 Posted April 3, 2009 I think about 30 pairs all told, most of them stiletto boots. Heels range from 4" - 5", apart from one pair of six inch stripper platforms which my GF unexpectedly liked. I had more but recently had a minor purge to reduce the numbers a bit. I am now making an effort *not* to buy any more, but we know how hard that is!
tetonheeler Posted April 6, 2009 Posted April 6, 2009 I have 8 pairs of high heel boots - ankle to knee high, cowboy to fashion. 5 pair of wedge sandals over 3". 7 pair of pumps over 3" 6 pair of high heel sandals over 3". And if it counts: over 20 pair of ladies sandals with heels under 3" to flat. And 3 pair of clogs with 2 1/2" heels
hhdude159 Posted April 6, 2009 Posted April 6, 2009 i only have 2 pairs of heels but i like them both
Lance Posted April 7, 2009 Posted April 7, 2009 This thread made me go to my closet and take inventory. 64 pairs in all. Pumps, sandals, slingbacks, platforms, clogs and some fetish heels. Probably 5 pairs are my favorites right now, but I'm always going back to the closet to wear some old favs on a rainy day. Finally got my first pair of Louboutins about 3 months ago. They will probably be my #1 pair for a while, but you never know. I'm absolutely in love with the black patent YSL Tribute pump, but I don't have a spare $900 at the moment. My Louboutins were the equivalent of 2 car payments.
danielp6406 Posted April 7, 2009 Posted April 7, 2009 ...My Louboutins were the equivalent of 2 car payments. Greatings Lance :-) This is indeed quite a fair amount of money. I guess you will take great care of them ! Since I don't own any Louboutins, may I ask you if the spending is really worthed ? I know they look very nice and are well made but are they also more comfortable ? Are they easier to walk compared to another similar looking/shape shoes ? Happy heeling !
Dawn HH Posted April 7, 2009 Posted April 7, 2009 Mickey can't wear heels anymore, so we cleaned out her closet and donated 38 pairs of high heeled size 5, brand new in the boxes, of her heels to a consignment shop. Needless to say, the lady that owns the shop was ecstatic to get them. Now she is looking at getting some ballet flats to wear. And I have been measured for a leg brace for my left leg to match the one on my right leg. Maybe I may be looking at some ballet flats for me, who knows. Only time will tell. Cheers--- Dawn HH Mickey68 High Heeled Boots Forever!

aussieheels1 Posted April 8, 2009 Posted April 8, 2009 just gone a little shopping spree and added 5 pairs of gorgeous heels to my collection...... i'm so excited hahaaa
dww Posted April 9, 2009 Posted April 9, 2009 At the moment about, nine pairs dating back to 1974. Only buy heels now when they are the ones I really want, wasted so much time and money in the past, must have bought about 50-70 pairs, worn them in seceret then thrown them away, have now learned a lesson. life is not a rehearsal
aussieheels1 Posted April 10, 2009 Posted April 10, 2009 wasted so much time and money in the past, must have bought about 50-70 pairs, worn them in seceret then thrown them away, have now learned a lesson. i know the feeling..... over the course of the past 20 years, i must have purchased over 100 pairs of shoes... but throughout my teens and twenties have thrown out so many convincing myself that i'm strange and that i can live without them.....
Hot Heely Posted April 27, 2009 Posted April 27, 2009 2 pair of Domina pleaser 1 pair Mercy pumps 1 pair ILCIT pumps peep toe 1 pair Bitchin sandals 1 pair of Derange ankle boot 1 pair of Amsterdam boots 1 pair of Ballet heels 1 Pair Ellies 8260 1 pair Platforms clear 1 pair of platforms white 1 pair of Brazil pumps 1 pair of steel heel pumps Heel height is between 5 inch and up HighHeelsForLife :-)
Bad_Robot Posted April 27, 2009 Posted April 27, 2009 Well to be honest I not tried counting them for a very long time, I had compiled a list a few years ago now and it was topping 300+ back then and I have not stopped adding more to my collection so I would estimate 400+ to be on the safe side, if I could find the time I would count them to be sure but part of me does not really want to know, well thats about how many now to move onto what type, well they are all boots of nearly every style, colour and heel height that you could think of. I have considered taking pictures of them and posting them on this site.....so if anyone has a request for a boot picture then I can see if I have some of the requested style to post.
radiodave Posted May 28, 2009 Posted May 28, 2009 Bad Robot, you've got me beat by a long shot. I will say they have been accumulating for me. Today I finally decided to get all of them out, and I counted them. I have 62 pairs that all came from the "ladies' section. I only have 7 that are bona fide "mens". I think I'll go try each and every one of them on because I can.
