Woohoo! first time out in heels

Hi

Today was a historic day for me. I found the courage to go out in heels for the first time.

It was the spur of the moment thing, although I was gathering the courage to go out for quite some time. I wanted to go see Shrek 3 in my local multiplex and suddenly I thought what a better place to go heeling for the first time, a dark movie theatre.

I had to decide what pair of heels to wear. The options were either my Coniac Charles David knee high pointed toe boots with an indent heel or my newer Black Via Spiga square toe knee high boots with blade heels.

I thought that the Charles David boots would attract less attention because of the heel sound and shape (they make a heavier noise and could probably pass as higher heeled cowboy boots). The Via Spigas may have a square toe but the heel shape and noise are an immediate giveaway that I'm wearing heels. My pants won't have completely covered either of the heels.

In the end I convinced myself "no guts no glory" and since I preferred the look of the Via Spigas with a nice pair of pin striped black tailored pants, I chose them.

The via Spigas have a 4 inch heel and I'm quite comfortable walking in them, especially after getting used to walking in 4 inch stilettos. Nevertheless, not only was it my first time ever out of the house in a pair of heels on, it was also the first time driving in them.

It was actually very comfortable driving in them and I was so pleased! When I finally got to the multiplex parking lot I started getting cold feet because there were lots of cars there. I was pissed and surprised because it's bloody 22:30 on a Monday night. What are people doing there at this hour?!

Anyway, I took a deep breath and exited the car. It was just my luck that a bunch of people exited the multiplex and headed to their cars just when I was heading in. Every heel step sounded like an atomic bomb going off in my head. None of the people even bothered to look though.
What made matters worse for me was that just before I went in, this lady appeared from nowhere and asked for some spare change! I gave her a 5 and went in.
Nobody was in line to buy tickets so that went smoothly.
I was more relaxed after buying the tickets. I can't tell you how pleasing it was to walk inside the multiplex on a marble floor and hearing the noise of my heels. I could barely hide my smile when disaster almost occurred, I slipped! Luckily I gained my balance immediately and didn’t fall. I didn’t hear any giggles though (only in my head).

The theatre was barely full, only a few young couples and a group of teenagers (oh oh). Once in my seat though, I was all smiling and happy with my decision to wear heels. The movie was ok but not as good as the first 2. Who cares, I was much more satisfied with my personal accomplishment.

At the end of the movie I was the last to leave (didn’t want any stupid teenager remark). Since the multiplex is located in an outlet area, I decided to take a walk. It was half past midnight and no one was around, just me and the noise of my heels. Boy was that fun!

I'll always remember this night and I hope that it is a beginning of a long tradition of street heeling on my part. I just hope it will become easier over time until the day I'll find it completely natural and weird that people actually make any remark regarding my heels.

Good luck to all you guys out there who are longing for the courage to go out. I hope my first experience will bring you one step closer out the door. You can't compare it to wearing heels at home, it's much better!

Congratulations, it's a great feeling getting out in heels.
It's suprising how different it is walking out on the sreets compared to at home, I can happiy spend all day at home in 4inch heels, but a few hours out on the streets and my feet are burning.

Fun isn't it! See how all the problems are no further than the end of your nose?

We'll have you on a heelmeet in no time.

Hi Max,

for me it's always again a pleasure to read others experiences about your first outings on the street

Your story remembers me to my own kamikaze outing when I was daring the first time in my life to wear really high heeled boots in public. It was a late saturday afternoon of may in the city of Wiesbaden when I was standing with over 5'' high white block heels at a main crossing with a red light and more and more people accumulated there - me becoming more and more nervous. My jeans legs weren't long enough to hide my heels. I expected to be slaughtered but nobody gave a bad comment. When the traffic light switched to green I had the worst expectations

A crowd of cars were waiting at the zebra stripes and they all illuminated my white heels when I crossed the street. Eeeeh - they all must see my heels!?!

Nothing happened - naturally they all have seen me and some people in the waiting cars have guaranteed cried out "Look at this crazy guy, he is wearing high heels!"

The whole story took place 6 years ago. Today I'm wearing high heels regularly on the street and in my supermarket during doing my daily purchases. I was also glitching on the stone floor of the shop. Several people were seeing it. Like you I managed it luckily not to fall on my ass. Nevertheless I grew red like a tomato. But how many girls have experienced the same situation!? A broken heel isn't anymore only a special problem of girls but in future also for us guys

Maximilian -

Thanks for sharing the great story.

I’ve always said the hardest step is the one you take getting out of the car.

As you noticed, hardly anyone notices what you have on your feet and of those that do notice most don’t care or are polite enough to not say anything. .

These are great looking boots by the way. Seems a shame to hide them under pants.

Stepping out is right. Just bought a new vehicle - so now instead of stepping out and up from my little car - I step down and out of my large pickup truck. I love the look and feel of dropping down with the full shoe in view, anticipating the heeling experience about to happen.

Way to go Max. Great feeling isn't it. Heeling in public. Just keep in mind that you only go around once in this life. Don't let the ignorance of narrow minded people keep you from being your self and wearing what you want. You'll regret it (not going out in heels), if you do. Just be yourself and enjoy it and hardley anybody will notice or care at all. It's that little thing in our heads that keeps telling us what people might be thinking when they're really not. Oh, Nice boots. I have a pair of ankle boots from Bakers kinda like that that I wear every where and hardley nobody has ever noticed or said anything at all so enjoy my friend.http://i116.photobucket.com/albums/o...ngryCustom.jpg
