Master Resource: General Public Discussions of men in heels
Shyheels replied to kneehighs's topic in For the guys
It’s been an interesting challenge. Anybody can photograph a guy in heels and bake it look provocative and confronting. I set myself a challenge of shooting an image, or images, in which one doesn’t at first glance notice the heels although they are in no way hidden. I think I’ve got one that fills the bill. it’s odd for me because as a photographer I’m more comfortable behind the lens than in front of it - and this has nothing to do with being in heels. I wouldn’t mind sharing it with people on this forum but I’m less keen on general circulation. -
Those are very nice! I love ankle boots and these are very elegant in their simplicity

Yes, that's quite a presentable style - a welcome break from the usual monstrous offerings for men
-
Yes own the look and nobody will care

Quite literally!

The High Heeled Ruminations Of Melrose Plant

I never see any other guy in heels but just this afternoon I had a girl compliment me on my knee boots -

I see more heels now that I'm in the north of England -
Mind you, these days it doesn't have to be heels that meet that definition of not meant to be walked in. I bought a pair of midrange hiking boots from an outdoors shop a couple of years ago and they lasted about a month of what would be very modest walking, and around town at that. When I complained I was told that they were not designed for that kind of 'heavy use". I probably had ten miles on them....

I can't say I know anyone who wears heels either - although in my odd little off-grid world wearing heels would be a drawback ... -

Sounds like a great result from the meeting! As a boot wearer I never suffer from those problems with boot cut jeans - I can well imagine it would be irritating -

I agree with @Bubba136 I think he’s given some very sound advice -

Err on the side of caution -
As a freelance I have the good fortune to work from home and so can wear what I please. My wife, who does not wear heels, neither approves nor strongly disapproves - she seems to consider it a reasonably excusable foible on my part. I do not wear heels out on assignment, mainly because the remote places I tend to go they'd be utterly inappropriate, if not dangerous, footwear. Also in the past year I've been living off-grid in circumstances where heels would be almost comically inappropriate footwear whether you were man or woman. But when I am put and about I do wear lower heeled knee boots (with sturdy soles) just about everywhere. And when I'm at my desk, in my home office, heels are definitely part of my office dress code!

You're doing fine now. I know I could certainly lift my game - indeed wearing heels has helped with that. -
I have issues with my back having had surgery on my L4/L5 vertebrae some years ago- wearing a belt is not helpful. You’d think it might be supportive but it’s not

What an interesting pic! Nice boots. Just the look and style I like to present -
I made several trips up there in the course of the assignment/ four or five /about a week or so each time, between February and August. I travelled all over up there from Tromsø to a tiny speck of an island called Røst. It was really interesting

I woukd say it was the colours and overall brightness of your outfit that attracted their notice - the heels were merely the finishing touch. i would not say your shoes were outrageous in the least. And I too would call that shade magenta -
Happy Birthday - I hope it is a good one

Where can I get LOW heels (5 - 7 cm) for everyday wear in men's size?
Shyheels replied to Andy3142's topic in For the guys
That’s true as regards sizing. Another good thing about going custom is that size no longer becomes an issue - I have bigger feet than yours and had no problems - but it was expensive. Ghstd one of the good things about the late Shoes of Prey - their sizes went up to a UK11 or 12 Long Tall Sally occasionally have large sizes but very few heels unfortunately -

Shyheels replied to Andy3142's topic in For the guys
I’m quite a fan of chunky heels of 7cms or so and have several pair. Like you I do not care for statement style and like you I want something nice. I have a very nice pair of chunky heeled ankle boots from Shoes of Prey which, unfortunately went out of business a few years ago. You may find some on eBay though, The others I have - taller boots - are from Jean Gaborit, a custom maker in France, considerably more expensive than high street offerings they are beautifully made and will last for ages and fit beautifully too. They have a wide range of styles and a good selection of low and mid-heel boots. As I say they are custom made so will take a few weeks but are well worth the time and cost if you can afford it. I take the view that I’d rather have one really nice pair than ten ordinary ones
