I have no desire to publicly out myself on this. My girlfriend, mother even, and quite a few friends know. I did mention wearing them publicly at Folsom, but I expect no judgment there as there are much more interesting things going on than a man wearing black boots (plus, Folsom is an event about acceptance as much as it is about an particular fetish). If you're pointing out the zip code in the username, oh no! I mentioned SF and used an SF zip code! Someone might recognize me! why bother even trolling?

Trolling? You said that, on a man: >They look nice, I want to look nice. They feel powerful, I want to feel powerful. Who is trolling?

For some reason I cannot reply to your reply, so my apologies, here's a sibling. You mistake that other user for me. Check the names. He seems to mind his privacy less, and I applaud him for that. Anyway, I don't see how what he has said is a troll either. Ask s businesswoman if she feels more powerful in slacks and 4" heels (tastefully covered by said slacks because the height itself confers the power, the heels may actually serve as a distraction from that.) I'm sure some will say "no, I just wear these because firm X has a policy" but many others will feel oppositely. Edit: yet another confused poster. Why would I log out and log back in to my main account to respond? Sometimes multiple people have the same surprising preferences and choose to respond to add their own voice to a thread. Who knew? Edit2: you edited your post to call out a comment after I explicitly said that it's another poster. Had you been correct, I would have deleted said comment. As it remains, I suppose he must be just another heel wearing man. Crazy! Maybe I should email to find out his favorite brands. Edit3: the homophobia, transphobia, and inability to be comfortable with an anonymous person's personal choices is precisely why I decided to post so much on this thread today.
