You can't leave us hanging with a comment like that, I'm all agog (in fact several gogs!) Speaking as a Sheffield resident, I'd love to know more!

I appreciated the comments from Highluc, Heelfan, Firefox, B-booted and Dr.Shoe. I had also started to ask myself why I was asking total strangers what they thought of my boots. A large part of it was curiosity. If the responses were too negative I might reconsider what I’m wearing, but so far the response has been surprise and “why not”. Very few disapproving looks. To Heelfan’s concern on me making a fool of myself, I have done that on occasion, but usually not intentionally. I know better than to pester people or to intrude into their space. To Foxfires advice on suitable business wear for gents, the folks I work with schedule major projects so they will not conflict with deer season. I don’t think this bunch is going for heels and I have too much time invested in the retirement system to mess around at work.

On the way home I stopped at Biggs and Sam’s wearing blue jeans, a white shirt and blue thigh boors with 5” heels. Those boots look great with jeans. I didn’t ask anybody what they thought. There were two disapproving looks but that was all the reaction I got. At Sam’s, the checkout line was moving very slowly and the ladies behind me were lightly complaining. I joined into the conversation. There was no mention of my boots, or negative reaction from them just playful bantering about the long checkout line. After I had checked out and was bagging my stuff, the lady that was behind me left and went out of her way to bid me a pleasant evening.

I think people have become more tolerant of what people wear or are willing to make the effort “not to look”. Whatever… I’m having fun wearing boots I have always dreamed (figuratively not literally) of wearing. After walking through two big stores, they still felt great.

I was on my way to a "Kinky Gerlinky" along with quite a large group of people (including some real girls) who were all similarly attired!

Dr. Shoe

Without a doubt!

I think that many didn't want to "give-me-the-satisfaction" of staring at me. The great British public for you!

great anecdotes all... I hope to share some (at work now, quick diversion) and also experience more. you're candid stories have made me anxious to zip up and stroll more publicly.

two weeks ago, while working late at work on a weekend, I pulled out a pair of suede, 3.75", over-the-knee boots, that fit snugly and have a half zip up the side. I keep all my outfits/shoes/boots at work (private cabinet/locker storage space...I'm closeted still and now married).

So, with few noises in the building, I slipped them on at my desk, zipped them up (tight jeans tucked in) over my knee (not quite mid-thigh)...then nervously (very nervously) walked to the printer nearby...then back to my desk (breathless).

Then I sasheyed to the mailroom, a bit further but on the same floor. Then back to my desk (breathless but thoroughly titillated).

The office building is carpeted, but the stacked wood heel (not chunky, not stiletto) made a solid noise while walking. And the mailroom floor is tile, so I could relish the click, click.

Oh, what a great time it was (however brief, panicked at the first sound of someone despite being quite safe). I sat and worked at my desk, feeling the suede, crossing my legs, swinging my booted leg back under my chair to admire the heel from behind.

Thanks for being a great audience. I have more adventurous stories (shopping moments, too) when I have more time. Until then. Thanks for sharing!

Several years ago I was driving home from a trip to Wisconsin and I stopped at a Cracker Barrel restaurant (home style cooking) for a late lunch. This was before I started wearing thigh boots in public on a regular basis. I had a pair of Tony style U leather boots http://www.howcool.com/tonysshoes/TS-U-L-Q.htmwith me and decided to wear them in the restaurant. I was really nervous about this for several reasons: 1) these boots have a 5” stiletto heel which I had not mastered, 2) I was going to wear them in public, 3) I had absolutely no idea of what reaction I would get.

So, dressed in a blazer, jeans, turtle neck shirt, and crotch boots, I started across the parking lot. This was the first time I had tried walking in these boots other than across a room and I quickly learned I had to take smaller steps. By that time I was closer to the restaurant than my car so I kept going. When I went in, several people noticed what I was wearing, including the hostess (female mid 50s). She didn’t say anything but if I read her expression correctly it was “what am I going to do with this one”. She sat me at a table near the door to the dining room (so she didn’t have to walk me across the dining room) but the boots were clearly visible to everyone that entered the dining room. Several people noticed. There were several business men at the other end of the table that ignored the whole thing. I had a nice lunch and left the dining room.

Cracker Barrel is divided into two parts, an ole time general store, and the dining room. To get to the dining room you have to go through the store and the cask register is in the store. Several people did double takes and stared but no one said a word. I paid my check and walked (sort of) out to the car. That was the longest walk I have ever made in boots. Small steps, and very nervous, I thought the whole clientele was staring out the windows. When I got to the car and turned around, nobody was looking and the world hadn’t stopped so I got in and drove on home.

This adventure took a while to get over but it gave me the nerve to start wearing thigh boots in “safe” public places. Now, I really am having fun wearing them.

Last night I went shopping again but I was in a hurry and didn’t put on my boots. The shopping trip was about the same as when I wear my boots, uneventful. However, the thing I noticed was that I really missed wearing them. I hadn’t expected that. Previously, stopping on the way home was just something I did, now it’s something I really look forward to (I’m not ready to admit that I will intentionally forget to get something so I will have excuse to stop again but…). I don’t think I will be is such a hurry again.

At last the weather has cooled off enough to comfortably wear thigh boots. I can finally start dressing in a style I really like. It looks a lot like this:

I wear a pony tail, but other than that, this is my favorite look.

Here is my second most favorite look:

Wearing a jacket of some kind seems to balance the appearance of the boots.

i think thigh high boots look great, i have just started to wear mine openly and havent gotten any negative comments, just a lot of people doing double takes.
