Its a shame we are discussing this, which is way of the original topic, in this thread as it would be great to read other opinions, but they would be unlikely to open the thread because it is not relevant to them. mods - help?

I agree with the remark made in the first paragraph above. Bit defeatist (of us both) but I think it's a reality that needs to be faced.
That said, I'm moderately happy to walk about in stiletto heels after dark. I wear jeans that cover the heels of anything I'm wearing, and usually manage to walk 'in-step' with my escort. It's hard to know it's me wearing the heels from sound alone.
I dunno this debate needs to be moved. It's entirely pertinent to the expectations and opportunity for UK street heelers.
Some months ago, I saw a question posed that went something along the line of; "Do you want to wear heels, or do you want to wear girls shoes?" I want to wear heels. Girls get a better deal on designs, so girls heels are going to be more attractive to me. While I like the idea of wearing 5" stiletto heels while I walk down the street, they're just not practical unless worn on a smooth floor. [Safety to me, and the condition of the heels.]
So what is practical and wearable for street-healing? So far, stiletto's are out. Too prone to damage, and too noisey. Thicker heels last longer, and are more easy to disguise. Not rocket science?
My conclusion, is that just about ANY man can wear 2" - 3" block heels under suitably long trousers, just about
anywhere. I saw some men's 'western' style boots in Camden Sunday, and I'm convinced they had 2"+ heels. [Certainly no lower.]
I'm not sure why more of the members here, are not turning up to 'meets', I'm also not sure why the ones who do turn up aren't wearing this sort of shoe or boot? I'm not complaining, I'm just a bit frustrated I suppose, there are not more of us out there wearing heels. Publically, if discreetly.
