Greetings!
Please tell your wife that I said thanks! It's always a huge rush when I get compliments from women on my overall style. That tells me that I'm doing things right when it comes to putting together an entire outfit, one that successfully incorporates high heels into same instead of them sticking out like the proverbial sore thumb.

To address JNR's comments, I'm of the opinion that it's all about mindset. After well over a century, people are used to seeing only women wear this while men wear that, and that the two should never mix. Even though women have successfully integrated men's clothing into their daily wardrobe with pretty much no controversy over the decades, men clearly don't have that sort of latitude in society these days. In the narrow mindset of people in general, men don't wear women's clothing and/or shoes, period, but when you ask said people with those closed minds why, they simple say "because", as if no further explanation is required.

It's simply what they're used to, plain and simple, and breaking the cement of those closed minds is a daunting task. However, I think we're slowly cracking that cement and doing so by presenting tasteful, positive images, images in which men like myself can look stylish instead of outrageous in heels. Once the freak show component associated with men wearing heels is eliminated and society comes to accept that men in heels is no more bizarre than men with long hair or sporting earrings, then acceptance will eventually arrive. Yes, it's a slow, painstaking process, but I'm of the opinion that acceptance will happen, perhaps even in our lifetimes.
