Indeed any guy wearing feminine styled footwear with so much as a quarter inch of heel above the norm would be considered by the world at large to be wearing “heels”. if you look in fashion sites the common definition of “high” heels would seem to start at 3.5” to 4”

Oh, I don't know. I don't consider something to be a "high" heel unless it reaches 4 inches, but that's just my own little personal scale. I don't think that the actual exact height is important for the purposes of this website. I mean, we're not here to talk about trainers, but the occasional flat still finds its way in. I believe even I posted some knee high boots last winter that are sporting sub-2 inch heels, and the Hunter boots would definitely fall into that category. I don't really see what's wrong with it. High Heel Place is really a name of convenience. Somewhat Elevated Heel Place would be much more awkward.

It’s all very subjective. I happen to take a much broader view and don’t concern myself with numbers or a set style. But that’s just me.

I think there's only so much one can say to an AI-written article on a subject we all know back to front and from personal experience...

I would think the majority of men would have at least a sneaking desire to try on a pair of heels. A guy would have to be almost devoid of imagination not to be at least a teensy bit curious. And a desire to step away from the pigeonhole for a bit, take a holiday from all the puritanism on the men's side of the shop. Probably fewer actually want to wear heels as a regular thing, but I'll bet the vast majority would love the opportunity to try - to spend a day or a week in heels. Novelty has its charm and no doubt that adds to the excitement of wearing heels at first. Novelty naturally wears off with experience, but I think the pleasure of dong and wearing what you like endures, especially when you know you're breaking the rules, and will always endure. I almost forget that I own Hunter boots - I tend to think of them as workwear, and in a different category to my other fashionable knee boots, with or without heels. Although some of my knee and OTK boots do not have heels, I include them anyway as the styling is feminine, and worn over skinny jeans are more obvious than many heels worn with bootcut jeans.
