exactly. noone can see how high the heels are thus makes the legs just appear naturally longer. if you can see all the heels or enough to see how high they are you wouldnt be fooled by that illusion

in a way i think it can. not so that your inner soul feels like a woman does, but gives you an understanding of the emotions people feel for their heels etc. the many men that would laugh at a bloke in heels have probably never experienced how wearing heels or a skirt etc feel to wear. My friend for example relates to them as 'them stupid shoes women wear then complain about' obviously falls in this category. The restriction feeling of heels and the fact that you cant run or walk any faster that the shoes can go can i suppose emulate slightly the vunerability wearing heels can cause women to feel. Many a time before i ventured to a heelmeet i liked heels inside on the carpet but always looked at women wearing their heels out and wondered how they felt and if they enjoyed it etc, now having said i have worn my heels out i can relate to women in this respect. I suspect a lot of the tv on the site can relate in similar ways to how much effort they have to make with makeup etc time and effort that women spend to make themselves appear good everyday. obviously i have twisted the question a little here but the answer dowsnt always have to be no chaps.... think about it.

a website would be a great idea. its a long way for some of us to travel to bristol.....

hmm whats Dr Shoe on about then???

cowboy or uban heel styles would be a good start for men, as they are masculinely associated in a way anyhow and the shapes can be quite sharp, also opening a pointed toe era perhaps for men?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- hi everyone am thinking about getting some 7in heels not decided on boots or shoes yet, but irrelevant to my question. decided on 7in for indoor purposes only obviously, tried 6in before and to be fair was quite disappointed that it took very little time to walk ok in them. looking for something that poses a little more of a challenge without going to ballet boots. my question is can anyone share experiences on sizing etc and manufacturers. i had some 6in heels pleaser, im usually a generous 8 so ordered a 9, ordering a size up as advised and when they arrived they were massive...waaay too big for my size 8/9 foot. Just hoping someone can give me a better idea on how the fit is on these extreme styles nl

chris...noone ever seems to get it right in that 15000 times

the figures seem pretty high for males, look around town and ur lucky to see 1% of men wearing heels in the open. guys and heels...why is the heel angle subject so boring can i ask

il correct you heel D, i posted an ebay item here a few weeks ago, in size 9/42 a new look branded pair. so the rumour of the larger new looks may well be true. nexts 8 is a large 8/42 and they also do 9.43 in some styles barratts do sizes above 8 ravel do the odd style in a 9 (i have a pair but fits like a 10...too big for me!) faiths 8 can be from tight to generous depending on style and some styles in a 9 nl

im often here not logged in just to browse, as i suspect lots of members do

i love their shoes, but the dreaded supposed '8' which is a 41 and really a 7.5 grips a nasty vice on my toes. I hope they introuce a 42 more often in their ranges

new look, the shop not me i refer to. anyone know since when they started making heels in size 9/42??

while i see your point jonnieheel on the other hand some people are not always open minded enough to be as forgiving. at least if he uses the method he stated he is in fact testing the waters and nothing to lose. if he puts heels on in front of his wife and she is really against it it may cause rows that may not be as easy to solve as just sending them back as he has obviously ordered them for a reason and there would be need to explaining which could make matters worse..... not to be negative, but if it was myself with a new gf and i really liked them a lot and they made me happy etc... would i wanna potentially give that up for a pair of shoes. therefore testing the waters is the way id be going about it too.

susan please re read my first reply to this thread. which was based on my opinions of looks, not behaviours or other people thanks

in my opinion heels dont make a female body more feminine. it is the body and the assets of it and how the woman chooses to use them that makes the femininity. People assume heels are 'feminine' only and that they only create an effect on women because we are brought up used to seeing them only on women. like cowboy boots, theyre a rugged masculine style. however put a playboy bunny on some and colour them pink and suddely they are feminine shoes enhancing femininity.... no dont think so. no more than when i wear my pink tshirt it makes me less masculine...

i agree that the patent looks cheap and fetishy. the leather look is best for me and i would say id even prefer the plastic PU leather over the patent finish nl

24 here

i understand the points made and to expand on richies post can i just say i dont care what anoyone wants to do each to their own. the leg contest was fun and i wasnt trying to spoil it. If someone wants to wear a skirt or crossdress thats fine i have no issue My point was i as a guy i visit this section often to look how the blokes here go about wearing their heels as a guy in guy mode. (Kneehighs, Heel D been good examples of what i mean) To see how much closer men wearing heels are getting from where we are now, to getting accepted as another everyday fashion etc. And my original note was that as i visit to read up on these topics i see a hundred threads on what skirt to wear and what girly heels look good and as with the leg contest as an example the image of all wearing feminine attire and how to cross your legs and keep your knees together etc (female mannerisms). It seems the section of the board is steering away from guys wearing heels ....to guys trying to look and act like women do, which as richie says doesnt do much to promote a trendy man in heels image.

Ive been reading a few sections, catching up on the fact i havent had chance to visit a lot recently. The guys question is filling with topics and discussions which brought thoughts to my mind. We not have threads on 'girly heels' and wearing skirts with outfits and how we behave in a skirt ie crossing legs for modesty etc and yea the leg contest is a bit of a laugh. It just crossed my mind with some thoughts. Dont get me wrong im all for anyone doing what they please, and whatever anyone chooses to do i dont have an issue with it, however isnt wearing a skirt and saying cross your legs and keep your knees together (as i read in a post) making people behave like people see women do? And yeah some shoes with pretty bows and bright pink colours etc can be cute but IMHO are we not better letting the women decorate themselves with these and their outfits. And as i said i know it was for fun bit arent nearly all the pictures in the leg contest almost all full womens outfits skirts hose etc. I mean come on lads wheres the wearing heels as a man going these days in this guys section?? For me if im gonna wear heels, its cos i like how they feel and look etc, but i still wear them my own way as a man and behaving like one, and wear heels that can coorsinate with a mans outfit, and personally I think it would do us all a favour for widerspread acceptance if we werent trying to look and behave like women as well as wearing their shoes. what are everyones thoughts on this

yeah i know what your saying and why not all kitten heels are as noisy, but ive come across a couple where the heel has been fairly big, bigger than a thin tip stiletto and they make a right row lol

something sharp and sexy about the pink boots with metal heels in the 4th pic too. quite..different

quite a variety of unique experiences, each different but a powerful effect in their own way and would be hard to pick favourites id say.... there is a thread going on in the girls section on how heels give them the feeling of power. The examples you used give some excellent alternate feelings whether for xdress reasons or not nl

i love the sound of heel sandals. the light sound is sexy on a girl. another unique sound is the loud stiletto heels of almost flat pumps. with like a 1in stiletto heel. they make a right racket lol

had that done..and it damn hurts

In relation to sound, it is the epitome of femininity!......... hmm on this board not any more lol plenty of men making the stilettos sound just cos we like it... not to be feminine
