Have You Seen Any Guys Street-heeling? (Survey)


Heelfan

Recommended Posts

Bernheels I too ride a harley; most days to work thats my bike in my avatar. On weekends when out rideing I wear knee high cowboy boots with a 3" rideing heel. Come to think of it I have been heeling longer than I give my self credit for because they are cowboy boots. But wearing ladies heels just the last few months.

Here is a question, in your daily outings how often have you seen guys in heels wearing typical male clothing? The reason I ask is that out here in the southwest U.S. I have never seen any other men in heels and believe me I am always looking. In the El Paso, TX Juarez MX region we have a population of 3.5 million and yet in the shopping malls, restaurants, movie theaters I have never seen a guy in heels. I feel a little lonely. ;)

Loads of times in London. I have told by those in the know that areas like Texas are not very good areas for this kind of thing. They are are populated by many rednecks, republican voters, and a lot of inward looking people. You'd probably need to go somewhere more free thinking like California, Florida, or New York.

I saw colegue when he tryed my shoes :cool1: . But that was for fun.

Also i had friend who is transvestite and sometimes he put on heels with outfit in men's style. But he is transvestite, so it's not the same.

I'm not far from Johnieheel, and I haven't seen any either. Only time I saw a guy wearing heels was around Halloween at the mall, and he was in drag. Nobody seemed to be reacting badly to it or paying lots of attention to it. I thought he actually dressed nicely, and not in some loud outfit that seemed out of place or screamed "drag queen". He was with some guy friends who weren't in drag, and had I not noticed his nice stiletto sandals I probably wouldn't have glanced up and realized that the nice legs belonged to a guy and not a girl.

firefox... Shame on you - in the political continuum here in the US you have the religious right, that may contain the bible belt - which pretty much is North of Texas and south of Minnesota. They can be democrats or republicans. Also in the republican party you have Reagan conservatives - Wanting less government in all forms, and libertarians that want even less government. Then there is the McCain/Bush end of the Republican party that still think Government offers the best solutions for the people. Democrats also have various shades start near the McCain/Bush moderates and moving toward the socialist agendas of Obama/Kennedy. I'm a very conservative - almost libertarian Republican. My Credo: Let me live my life respecting the rights others and others should do the same toward me. If I am successful, don't penalize me by taking away the rewards of my efforts. If I am religious, I will let it be shown by the way I live my life, not by my forcing it upon you and certainly I'll oppose efforts to have government force religion upon me. If you threaten my family's life, my life or the property I own, I reserve the right to protect it my any means available - whether "you" are and individual or a representative of government. I will however respect the laws of of government, and make a steadfast effort to lobby government to change the laws I do not agree with, recognizing there are God given rights to any man or woman: life, free will, and liberty that should not be taken away unless that man or woman has exercised those rights away from others. Oh, BTW. never seen any other guy in womens heels 'cept at Copenhagen heel meet.

I nearly stood up and saluted you, when I read the words above. ;)

And I haven't seen any men wearing heels either. However, I'm starting to think the only way I might know, would be if I were watching a man (or woman) walk in heels. Long straight trousers can hide any heel, and the current style is to wear trousers long.

I've used this to great effect, and I'm quite proud of the holes stiletto heels have made in my jeans. :cool1:

Well, I did say the information was second hand ;) I don't live in the states, and have only been to NYC for two weeks but I saw one person round Tribeca who looked like a guy in heels. If an occ. visitor like me can spot them, so can you. It happens quite a lot in London Uk, you just need to keep your eyes open and be aware.

Sorry, guys, We are just in the middle of a terrible presidential election here, where all the highest qualified candidates are long gone. breath deeply now.... OK all is better, plus I'm in my heels today going to work, stop at the convenience store for gas, a soft drink and paper, as usual no one give a notice or comment in my somewhat long jeans and 5" oxfords. But after a short conversation about baseball season starting with the cashier, I turn to leave and open the door for and incredibly stunning black woman, in what could be called a "men's wear suit" black, pin stripe, though tailored in a way than no (or at least most) men could wear and accentuated with a plain slightly white deep cut blouse. Nice 5 inch heels in an oxford style, though these had a slight "hidden" platform in the front. Made my day!

Amen brother, you took the words right out of my mouth, did not intend to start a fire storm all I was wondering since more and more are wearing their heels in public and society really does not notice if the trend was catching on maybe others were being seen out heeling. Firefox if the trend is more common now in England maybe it will soon cross the pond to over here.

I wouldn't say it's common in England. It's still something of a rarity but it does happen. The problem is that shops don't sell heels in the mens section. You have to get them from the women's section. Unfortunately the majority of the size 39-41 size male population is unable to think for themselves. They don't go by the motto of "if the shoe fits, wear it". They go by the motto of "I can't wear it because it's not marketed for me". Most people are just like sheep; sad but true.

I was out today in my thong sandals with a 2 1/2 inch heel. Went to the bank, post office and ran other errands. Fortunately the warmer weather allowed for sandals. Nobody seemed to notice either - and I still did not see any other guys out in heels. bummer... sf...

magickman, have the confidence to go out... boldly, dont keep looking at your heels, be confident !! People notice me, but never any dodgy comments. Remember, people look at emos, hippies, chavs, anyone with a striking haircut..... because they are different - not necessarily negatively ! I'm sure many of them think "if only i had the guts to do the same". It's called being yourself; you cant please all the people so dont try ! Remember us hippies calling ordinary people straights....

oh, so true firefox,so true:penitent: I've said this for years myself about people (men in this case) being JUST like sheep, unable to question, to feel, to BE different from the rest of society what you say about fashions/styles being marketed for him/her is really ludicris as for me (& I'm guessing for you as well) I pay NO attention to that kind of "label" as to gender assignment-I mean to say if you look @ EVERYTHING sold in stores & I dont care if its shaving blades to boots for gods sake theres this constant labeing of him/her for the very same object some times, ie. DIFFERENT colors perhaps & it HAS to be for either HIM or for HER!!? give me a break, will you!!??;)

Which brings me to start a new thread in the discussion section.

Spotted: At King's Cross tube station, Morning of February 23rd (Saturday), one very tall gent wearing 4 inch heel brown knee-high boots over blue jeans. He wondered through station a few times. Hardly anyone noticed as it was very busy and most people were focussed on where they were going.

Sadly, the only times I've seen them is on the internet, or looking down at my own feet and/or in a mirror. I'd love to meet up with anyone else from around here if it only doubled the visions of seeing guys in some nice heels.

Maybe someday you will arrive to Poland. If yes, you can write to me ;) .

If you were in Oxford Street or Charing Cross Road during the afternoon of Saturday 3rd March, you might have seen me walking around in 4" heels. Rather well hidden I have to admit, but I was definitely walking like I had heels on.

I also tried some courts/pumps on in M+S, and some ankle boots in Debenhams. Full story tomorrow. ;)

Sounds like Xaphod!

Ohio is becoming pretty much free thinking. Have yet to see another guy in heels, but people look at me like it's perfectly normal 99% of the time.

I would second that. Similarly, I've been around Chicago, Kansas City, Minneapolis, Milwaukee, and both coasts in the US - same story. Never seen any other guy in heels, but never an unkind remark either, though I expect it will eventually happen, just by the odds alone.

Usually, a smile, a raised eyebrow or, most often, nothing - which is the way I prefer it.

Excellent question asked.

I saw a guy in heels at the Bryant Park Tents for the Mercedes Benz Fashion Week on Feb. 7th, 2008.

He walked right down the stairs where all the paparazzi where standing, where all the spectators from outside the fashion industry were gawking and celeb hunting, and where I was standing, alert to the opportunity to take a picture of him.

This isn't the first time I've taken a picture of a guy in heels in NYC.

Back in September I captured two shots of two different guys in stilettos in Soho. HERE is a link to the post with a picture of the second man.

And Bill Cunningham, the photographer for the New York Times, took a photo of a well know local fashionista, in heels which I wrote about in this post.

edit: it's not the greatest picture ever...but it is evidence that even in the professional fashion industry, men wear heels.

Feminine Style .  Masculine Soul.  Skin In The Game.
