It’s my desire to wear only women’s shoes. I don’t own any men shoes. Women’s shoe lasts fit my feet better. Besides there are events where a man wearing high heels would be inappropriate. And I am not a person that would want to call attention towards myself while attending such events. Female fashions have appropriated many characteristics of men’s clothing in the past few years making it difficult to tell if that particular shirt, blue jeans or jacket is meant for male or female wear. There is enough similarities between male and female outer clothing that blend gender styles together to a point that the individual wearing the particular garment doesn’t raise any eyebrows.

Two more views of these wonderful Emigdia boots taken a year apart. Yes they may be a hit at a club but I had either a wedding or another dress up event in mind. HinH

It never ceases to amaze me the stubbornness and implacability of marketers who insist on gendering every conceivable thing that might be worn / even mens and women’s daypacks and laptop bags! The only difference is colour, bit if some marketer has put a women’s label on it, marking something as feminine, no man will go near it … weird

hey all, here’s four pics I retook to reduce file size which also reduced clarity.Top is the Devalyn sling back sandal with jeans and a tee shirt. Next is the Dany sandal with jeans and a colorful top. Third is mlroseplant inspired shorts look with Soda wedge sandals. Last is an outfit I wore last summer to the Twin Cities jeans with some high wedge sandals. HinH

What Bubba136 and Shyheels say about gender-specific or unisex clothing makes perfect sense; too much regard is paid to labels and not nearly enough to style, fit and choice. Bubba rightly reminds us of the many 'male' items of clothing that have been 'borrowed' (and in some cases adapted) for female wear. Loafers are a prime example: originally a casual men's shoe, copied and widely worn by women and which can have a heel ranging from nearly flat to a high slim stack, and sometimes with a platform too. A timeless so-called women's style that is eminently suitable for men to take back and wear with confidence. The pics below show just two examples - variations are almost endless:

Most of mine are stored in bins, so I rediscover all the time. I find stuff I forgot I even purchased.

It's always great to rediscover heels/boots you haven't seen in awhile...

It's not that I don't have or can't get shoes, I just don't want to bother with something I'll wear for 2 weeks, and then never again. Perhaps I need to dig out what I wore 5 years ago to see if they're at all serviceable and somewhat attractive.

Hey All, These are the knee-high Emigdia boots I got when in Yuma last winter but didn’t post until now. They have a faux croc finish, side zipper, and a sassy 6.25”/15.8cm stiletto heel. Haven’t worn to any event yet but I imagine they would get looks. My wife likes how they look on me. HinH
