Went out with 2 Italian beauties...

I don't know if this counts as a first time out in public but for me it was exciting nevertheless. I guess you have to start somewhere so I thought I'd share it with you.

Once a week I always go swimming and this week I learned I was going to be alone in the evening so this meant: Italian boot camp!

While putting on my beauties I thought: Why not keep them on when driving to the pool! I have read the stories on this forum about the difficulties when driving with stilettos on and mine are 12cm high but the idea had already excited me so much that I decided to go for it.

So, a little nervous but determined enough, I went out and click clacked to my car. It's parked on my own property so don't call me brave yet, although the neighbors can hear it.
I put my bag in the trunk and when I stepped in the rush really kicked in. I noticed I had to be extra careful not to scratch anything with the high heels and the long pointed noses. My car shifts by Tiptronic so I can put my left boot on the dead pedal and leave it there.
The accelerator pedal was also large enough for my entire EU size 45 Italian stud so no problems at all. I just had to move my entire lower leg for punching the accelerator pedal because your foot already stands in quite an angle with 12cm heels.
All in all a peace of cake and when driving is your hobby and wearing high heels your passion you get an almost unbeatable combination. Men, what a rush being out in the open! Well, sort of...

Naturally I had taken my normal dull shoes with me to change into before leaving the car at the pool but when I got there I just didn't want to take them off anymore. Somehow my boots give me so much confidence and really make me feel good about myself that I was about to go over the edge and just walk over to the pool building without a care in the world and ready to ignore any comment or look that I might get. Dangerous things these Italian stilettos!

Well, I came to my senses on time (sadly for you) but just couldn't resist stepping out first to get my bag out of the trunk. At that time a couple walked over the parking lot and although it was dark I wished they would hear the clicking of my heels and look in my direction to see me wearing high heeled boots but sadly they didn't.
I don't know what to make of this: I want to keep it private at any cost but at the same time I just want to wear what I like and what makes me feel good whenever I want to.
Anyway, this experience tasted so good that it has to be expanded somehow. As long as I can keep my head cool.

Hope I wasn't too lengthy, I normally don't talk a lot but writing it down is so much fun.

Take care...

I don't think you were too lengthy at all. The length came from your story and we like storytellers here. Just look at the success of Thighbootguys thread. It has 47,308 views and almost 1000 replies. Thats far beyond what other threads here achieve. IMO, its not just because wearing thighboots in public is interesting to us. Its also because TBG is a great story teller!

And I thought your story was interesting too. Just that one small step out of your car can be enough to lay the seed for bigger street heeling steps later. And those stilettos are stunning IMHO!

Those boots look like the same one's I have.

Those Italian beauties are a great looking pair of boots that you have there. If you think that writing about your adventures in them is so much fun, wearing them out in pubic is much more fun. And driving in them is great fun too. It sounds like you are just starting out and combining driving and wearing is a great place to start. Congrats!

It sounds like you had a great outing. I keep saying the hardest step is the one getting out of the car. I absolutely understand about keeping heel wearing private. I keep my heeling totally away from work because I don’t think the folks there would have much tolerance and I’m not willing to find out. However, since you are now driving in your boots, there should be lots of places you can go.

It sounds like you have the confidence to wear heels but your not comfortable with the look even though you like the look. You have to be able to look in a mirror and really believe that the image you see is the image you are comfortable presenting. If it is, go for it. If it isn’t, don’t go out in public.

If you really are confident in your image, it will show and people will respect that confidence.

All that said, I still advise caution, especially at first.

By the way, the boots look great and keep the postings comming.

Thanks for the complement on being a story teller. I try not to drone on too much but just saying that, “I went out and enjoyed myself and no one noticed” over and over again might give others the confidence to try it themselves.

Your welcome and I'm sure that you've not only been a good storyteller, but that you've inspired others as well.

Well, that didn't take me very long! First of all, TBG thank you for your advice. You are right, I have to be careful and I will but it's easy to get carried away when you're walking in boots that really make you feel good.
So, after my 1st very satisfying experience being out in the open I immediately planned a 2nd 'fieldtrip'. Nothing spectacular though, just to a parking lot to do some walking on the street, which is supposedly much more difficult then inside your home, and to feel free again in heels. Because that is the feeling that stayed with me the most.
Friday night I zipped my beauties up again and stepped in my car. This is what my outfit looked like.

I hope I have the right 'balance' for wearing this kind of high heeled boots. I always see women talk about balance when men in heels are discussed so I hope I got it in the right direction. This time I took the front door which is shorter to the car and doesn't alarm the neighbors but also a bit riskier because someone might walk by suddenly.
Nothing happened and I drove to a large gas station along the nearest highway. It has a big, well lit parking area for trucks and cars stopping by. There's also another resting area not far from my place but that one is infamous for it's gay activities that take place in the nearby bushes. Better not show up there in my stiletto boots I guess, they might mistaken me for wanting something else!

No, this one is safe and in plain view. I pulled up at the end of the car lane. 2 Cars with people in them were in front of me, some 25 and 50 metres away. To my left were a few trucks and in only one of them I saw a driver reading something. After scanning the area around me I got out to supposedly get something out of the trunk. Just these few steps made me really wanting more but the car in front of me kept me from doing it.
After a few minutes of waiting inside I decided to throw something in a wastbin halfway in between. This went really well, I made sure my steps and posture were as masculine as the heels would allow me to. When I walked back to my car I already didn't care very much if anyone would notice me. The car in front of me drove away so it was time for some more street heeling. It's not easy to develop the right way of walking in heels, you have to stay focused on your steps and posture. I have no interest in strutting the streets like a women and swinging with my ass like a sissy. That also draws to much attention and after all, I am a 100% regular guy who just likes to wear stylish boots. So, I tried to keep it as natural as possible and that went pretty well, it's a matter of enough practice and confidence. As soon as you start to think someone might notice it, your way of walking will change and THAT will be noticed for sure.

Suddenly a men and a kid came from the shop and stepped in a van some 20 metres to my side. I decided to stay outside but kept my boots out of their sight. They didn't drove of right away so I walked in their direction halfway up and stopped along the road, in plain view.
After a minute or so the kid looked at me and he kept looking as if he had seen something that looked out of place. Now what could that be I ask you? Maybe he thought it was strange I was standing there in the freezing cold wind but that didn't bother me at all. It's amazing how warm my feet and legs stay when their encased in real leather up to the knee. I was facing them head on and you cannot see the stilettos then, just a pair of shiny pointy boots that look very slick instead of bulky. For a few seconds I felt a bit unsettled and watched if he would signal his father next to him but he just kept looking. So I turned my back on him and walked back to my car. They drove off but I didn't bother to see if he was still looking.
Anyway, I did some more practicing but sadly couldn't go to far, that would look out of place there. I would have just loved to walk into the shop though... But I took TBG's advise and stayed cautious! So I drove back very satisfied and a little proud of myself. I think I have the right to be.

Take care...

You have every right to be proud of yourself!

Congratulations on your second outing! I think your outift looks good. Straight leg jeans look good with heels and I don't know if it matters to you or not, but in my opinion your body proportions pull off the look well. Kudos to you for that and thanks for taking the time to put together a pic.

I can't wait to hear how your future freestyle endeavors turn out. Keep the stories coming!

Sounds like you had a great time, Bootylicious.

Don't worry about your walk, the important thing is to be smooth. You will get some hip swing from wearing them, but without that hip swing you just can't walk as smoothly. Besides we can't develop the same hip swing as the ladies as women have proportionately wider set hips than men.

Congrats on your second heeled walk and that is something to be proud of. Just walk as smoothly as you can and don't worry about the hip action. Have fun and keep the stories coming.
