Good Responses From Women: The Ultimate Resource - Page 39

When any woman has responded to me verbally while I'm wearing high hells in public, all of the responses have been positive. The comments range from "pretty shoes," "nice look," "nice shoes, but I couldn't wear heels that high," or "those are nice looking high heels, but they would look better on me (with a curt smile)." I have received funny looks, under the breath comments, gigles, snickers, and laughter...but not directly to me. Female friends have complemented me on my collection, and almost all of them ask why I wear heels that are so high. I just tell them, "they're comfortable, they match my wardrobe, they're sexy, and it is a thrill to wear them." They just give me a big smile.

I recently had an online conversation with one of Finland's most esteemed and popular fashion bloggers. She's 21 and goes for a modernized 40's look. Here is how I seemingly randomly brought up the topic of men in heels:

1:00 PM Rosa: It's difficult to explain.. I guess people tend to be a bit more .. goofy around here. But in a stylish way. People dress for themselves and are not so conserned about looking stylish.
(Except in Sweden)

1:01 PM me: Right....http://i177.photobucket.com/albums/w.../helsinki2.jpg

Rosa: Haha, exactly. :)

me: But I kind of enjoy that personal philosophic approach to style
1:02 PM http://i177.photobucket.com/albums/w...e/helsinki.jpg
Both from Hel Looks

Rosa: That last guy is my friend from high school. :)

me: COOL!

Rosa: He's wonderful.

1:03 PM me: I think he rocks that outfit!
The heels and all!

Rosa: He made me a fabulous bag when I was sixteen. I think he's been on Hel-looks like six or seven times.

me: That is what I enjoy about him "dressing for himself"...he's doing his own thing and it shows. Cool about the bag

1:04 PM Rosa: Those pictures were from club La Persè, though. You're supposed to dress as decadent as possible there. :)

1:05 PM me: Oh

Rosa: So the people don't actually rock the streets looking like that.
Shamefully. :)

me: hehe
I've seen a few guys in stilettos here in NYC
during the day and personally I don't have a problem with it
1:06 PM they had skinny legs...let me see here

1:07 PM Rosa: I wonder where one can find stilettos big enough.

me: lol

from altamira

1:08 PM Rosa: I wouldn't ever wear those heels, but he's actually making them look quite good.

me: Thats what I thought..you def don't strike me as a pointy toe type
1:09 PM round toe retro

Interesting exchange, kneehighs.

Who is Riikka?

(1:07 PM Riikka: I wonder where one can find stilettos big enough.)

(I thought you were chatting with Rosa? Is Riikka another blogger that happened to be in the blog at the same time or is Riikka "Rosa" in Finnish? - Just curious. )

How neat! I had comment from women (almost all positive) but none have engaged in an extended conversation such as that. I love hearing the stories of positive feedback on public heeling.

Thanks for sharing that.

As I have just reported in roniheels thread "an interesting morning", my two sister-in-laws visited us this morning and thought my heels looked GREAT!

Good response from wifes daughter.
Wifes daughter and grandson came over today for Mothers day. Little boy is about 8 and loves working out with me. After working out he went up stairs and I took a shower and went to work.
Later in the day wifes daughter started looking at all the heels. She knew I liked heels but I guess she didn't really think I wore them.LOL As she was trying on her mothers, which is the same size as hers, her mother, my wife, told her all the 9's were mine and waited for her mouth to drop. It didn't

.
Her mother explained it to her and told her what a fun time we have out heeling and that I think mens shoes are ugly and she agreed.
First it was her sister and sister in law that came to visit and loved my heels and thought it was cool that I wore them and now her daughter

After her son seeing her trying on all the shoes , he thought he would give it a try and tried to take home 2 pair, red and white. LOL!!!
That is all the women an her side of the family and they think it's great that I wear heels.

. Looks like I'm batting a thousand with the women.
On the other hand, I think we might have a new little man in heels coming up in the family.LOL!

I think I am more surprised to find this out than they were to find out I wear heels. Life is good!

Thats great Johnnie!

Johnieheels, did you let him take home a pair or two? (Perhaps his sister and mother should take him out and buy a pair of heels in his size for him?)

Johnie...

What a great story and thank you for sharing it with us. I think your open-minded attitude and free spirit has rubbed off on your family and that is a blessing. With the young man trying on the high heels and not feeling intimidated or otherwise doing so, he too will be free spirited and open-minded about many things, and this too is positive. I really envy you in the way your family and friends have so embraced you wearing high heels. I always look forward to your stories. Please keep them coming. Thank you!
