Yes:  cowboybootsusa by Miguel Jones from Mexico 

And in Spain: Extreme high heels. 

I recommend both 

Ok. Nice shoes.Crazy prices .Do they take men in heels as a bunch of fools? 

That's exactly what you have to do. 

These shoes are your " normal" shoes. No need to feel ashamed. You are not a deviant 

i have myself walked in Toronto with 14 cm single sole Oxford and jean. In the day time. No problem at all. 

For sure that won't change anything and won't take us much further. But I share all your feelings. Your words are perfect echoes to what I could have written ( probably not so perfectly) 

Airports are the most secure place for wearing high heels. People are busy.the floor is not uneven. The security is at its highest level. 

Never had any bad moment in such places. But I am talking of Europe and North America. I wouldn't wear heels in a country where  religion tells the people how to behave.I did it in China.Only hotels and airport.

And surprisingly never in gay venues. I stupidly thought that a man in heels would be better accepted there. Big mistake! 

What you wrote is heart warming! Thank you. 

Hello @hiddenheels 

i share, as many others here I think,most of your feelings. 

Except one: As you I am not interested in women clothes. I always wear my heels with jeans. Boot cut if the choice is to hide them,or skinny if not. And when I look at myself in the mirror I find the look perfect. That may not be what the other people taste. But I think then we are only facing our well known stereotypes problem. 

I don't know where you live in Canada. I will be in Toronto early November and would be happy to meet for a drink if you wish

I share all these feelings. 100% identical. 

Not a great fan but much better 

at least it could be received as a positive sign 

Everything is just shit. Poor Paris. Some more pollution. For the eyes that time. 

I agree! My preference goes to Cuban heels.These are the only ones that keep ( more or less) a manly look despite of the height of the heel. 

A lot of nice boots pictured there. 

That's a perfect example of what I called " men in heels as men" 

i love it. 

Nice boots. With the  poor Notre Dame in the background ! 

100% right 

i have travelled in some of these countries. I wouldn't wear heels there. 

Even if airport are some how international areas I wouldn't take the risk 

To add an French expression: "profil bas".   That means : don't make any wave. 

Interesting! 

I was just hoping homosexuals would be more open minded. 

But it's just the same. Depends on the person,not on the community  

Disappointing 

You might be right. 

I have heard that a guy wearing heels hasn't been accepted in a gay club because it was an ´only men' place and has been considered as too feminine. 

So: men in heels are still lonely any place they go. 

I was in Cologne a few days ago. 

Booked a room in a hotel in the gay district. All employees seemed to be gay. My aim was to have a drink in one of these "only men bar "wearing gentle 5" Cuban heels  

When the receptionist at the check in counter saw my shoes, he suddenly behave weird. Not really friendly. 

Same when I order a beer in a bar that was looking ok. Only guys there,normal clothes. I left 10 minutes later  

I felt as an unaccepted stranger or a spy with no  cover. 

Very disappointing. 

A nice end : breakfast place in the morning,same shoes on my feet. The waiter,Asian male said: ' i love your shoes' 

I finally left with a better feeling. 

I wouldn't do it neither! 

Never happened to me! 

The only one I have ever spotted was myself in a mirror or a store window. Sad. 

I was thinking about heeling skills.

agreed: I must be fun. 

And what about giving is a title that matches  with our personal competences,knowledges,experiences,skills or whatever ?

And what the criteria are ? 

Ok @Tech I  got it ! Thanks !

i would expect a higher level than loafer.

i don't like the idea of numbers 

a nice "title" could be funny,but,yes...tricky (?) 

Pierre 

Sorry but I am not able to understand. 

I don't like human feet neither. Some parts of woman feet,in nice pumps could be nice. Toes never. Men feet never. 

For men only close shoes are acceptable. Expect for the beach or swimming pool because no other  solution. 

But! Any heel wearer deserves consideration,whatever the shoe type is.
