Skirt Cafe is an on-line community dedicated to exploring, promoting and advocating skirts and kilts as a fashion choice for men, formerly known as men in skirts. We do this in the context of men's fashion freedom --- an expansion of choices beyond those commonly available for men to include kilts, skirts and other garments. We recognize a diversity of styles our members feel comfortable wearing, and do not exclude any potential choices. Continuing dialog on gender is encouraged in the context of fashion freedom for men. See here for more details.
Discussion of fashion elements and looks that are traditionally considered somewhat "femme" but are presented in a masculine context. This is NOT about transvestism or crossdressing.
I finally managed to get myself a pair of Dr Marten anistone hi boots in a sale with 50% off price which looks very nice and will look good with fishnet tights and a skirt especially a kilt. However, when I tried to put them on they wouldn’t go on as my heel was getting caught in the throat part of the boot.
I tried and tried and persevered but I couldn’t get them on. I felt really disappointed and thought I was going to have to take them back to the shop for a refund.
However, whilst browsing the net I came across a solution by placing plastic bags on my feet and then putting them on and miraculously I managed to get them on. They really do feel very comfortable but whilst walking in town with them on my toes felt a bit sore but I guess I need to break into them.

I would think thin tights would be similar to plastic bags to getting into the boots. The problem with the plastic bags is that you feet will sweat and the sweat will pool in the bag.
I find holding the boots (opening) above the kettle and letting them fill with steam (so they are warm and wet) before putting your feet in with as thick/many socks you can on(use tights or bags to let them slide in easier) helps break them in a lot.
There are special creames/sprays you can use to soften up problem spots too, like the heels or bunions.
