kneehighs: Most impressive pictures, my friend. Your outfit was casual but slick. More power to you!
:D

Thanks Jeff. Casual is "me." I'm working on getting a shrunken tuxedo blazer jacket, some matching pants, a tuxedo top (you know the kind with the extra embroidery around the chest area) for a more formal outfit.

That will be about as formal as you will catch me when not working.

Well, it was fun meeting you last week kneehighs. It was a very nice meal and it was great to meet someone else with the same passion for shoes as I have. Unfortunately I wasn't wearing the boots I had with me (didn't have time to change) and I was in my trainers (sneakers) as me and my girlfriend were walking around Manhattan all day. You definitely have a good style when it comes to shoes and clothes.

Anyway, you were right about DSW on Union Square. I ended up buying a pair of black stilletto ankle boots and a gorgeous pair of black round toe Franco Sarto pumps! Both are very comfortable to wear. There was also a pair of flats which unfortunately they didn't have in my size and a great pair of patent black CK slingbacks which didn't sit right with me when I tried them on but they were beautiful shoes! I will post pictures of my new shoes and outfits soon. I'm definitely looking around for inspiration now.

When I'm in Manhattan again I will let you know and we should meet again.

We can definitely meet again, just please let me know when your coming round. With some advance notice, we might be able to round up some other locals to meet up too. Pam actually called us that night, but for whatever reason, my phone didn't ring!

Glad you had a good shopping experience at DSW. Great place there. And looking forward to seeing your new outfit -- not just the shoes, but whole outfit.

:D

p.s. thanks for the compliments

I don't know if it was the effect you've use to change the image or the camera moved when taking the shot, but the girl with black boots seems to have big feet! Like mine :D

Today (Sunday) I had a few returns to make in the Astor Place area of the Village. First stop was the Gap to return a tuxedo blazer that was too big for me.

Next stop was Starbucks right next to the 6 train subway exit. I walk up to the counter and ask for my Grande Mocha. African American guy next to me drops his money on the floor, picks it up, and goes back to his two other friends that were standing back from the counter. I turn around after the barista swipes my Amex and the guy who dropped his money is staring right at me. He said, "I'm sorry". I didn't say anything back, but I could read the embarrassment in his red face. So I went and stood right at the counter for all three guys to see my Ralph Lauren Alston boots. All of them are looking at me and down at my shoes. The way I see it, "good. The more people see a guy decently dressed in heels as a man and acting normal, the better the chances of getting this niche accepted." Get my mocha, go and sit and people watch, then leave.

Next stop was t-shirt shopping in the East Village. Need a shirt with some embroidery/design to wear beneath my tuxedo blazer. Shopped for a couple of hours then returned home.

I also saw a guy crossing Broadway and East 8th. He was Asian. About 5'6" tall. He was wearing a black leather studded jacket. AND, a black mini skirt, black tights, and black gothic (non platformed) knee high boots. His whole head was bald with the exception of the one 6" spike coming out of the center at the top of his head. Too bad I didn't have my camera then!

Kneehighs:-)

That was quite an adventure and reaction you got from those guys. If the one had not dropped his money he may not have noticed what you had on your feet.

BTW:-)
I noticed that you have changed your Avatar pic. Anyone we know?
