Why do you wear heels?

[XtremeHeels]

I wear heels for many reasons, here are just a few: 1) I love the look of them ( stiletto heels without platforms ) 2) I simply love the way my feet feel when I wear them ( higher the better ) 3) I love how great they make my legs look 4) It brings out my feminine side 5) They are fun to wear:happy:

[Shafted]

I liked your 4th reason you wear them Xtreme Heels. Guys that say they don't have a feminine side do. It's written into their very genes (chromazones).

[Slides 'n Heels]

I voted for the feminine feeling. But like many others who already replied, there are more reasons for me. High heels look much more attractive than what is usually worn by men. They are sexy, and very often women look more attractive in heels as well. And there is my desire to try myself the shoes which attract me so much on ladies. It's not always the comfort. Walking in them can be tiring. But at least standing on heels gives me a good posture. It feels good anyway, and it's fun!

I'd be lying if i said I didn't like the femine feeling, but the feeling of being in 5 inch or higher heels is unexplainable.

[hhthglvr]

Totally for the feminine feeling. It's so unfair that the female gender can wear high heels and feel sexy while they are doing it.

[Rei]

The feminine feeling is undeniably awesome. The added height is quite helpful since I'm only 5'5". Comfort isn't really an issue for me, as I can wear them for hours without my feet hurting, though I bet part of that is owed to the fact that I've only worn platforms. And I completely agree with hhthglvr, it is unfair.

Femininity is a significant portion of why I wear heels.

4) It brings out my feminine side

I also agree with this reason. I don't deny expressing my feminine side when I wear heels, in fact, I enjoy that aspect of our passion!

[rxrenesis]

Because I can!!

[XtremeHeels]

Love your answer!

Question:

Do women express their masculine side when they wear pants and flat shoes ?

Question:

Do women express their masculine side when they wear pants and flat shoes ?

Now there's a darn good question! Heh!

[Jabble]

Yeh, I voted "for feminine feeling" when I meant to vote for "both".

It is just something about the non-flat feeling. Most high heels are very stylish and are comfortable. They just feel sexy to wear!

[JeffB]

Because I can!!

And at the end of the day, what better answer can there be but that?

[Shafted]

Used it many times myself.

[ilikekicks]

Same here! I thought it was out of necessity at first but the more I pondered it, Who gives a care what I wear on MY feet.

[FreshinHeels]

Because I can!!

I second that!!

[Aglo]

I can because I'm a women's US 9 and very narrow to boot (someone on this site must have used that one before!). I actually find most women's shoes too wide. Image the torture of my alpine climbing career when I could not get a boot which would be narrow enough to stop my toes taking all the force (especially downhill). Anyway I go for high heels for, to be honest, a bit of turn on, but also a lot because I prefer to see my feet look (even) smaller and I love the huge choice of styles. I mean, just factoring the heel type into it adds a gazillion options. What more? Adding 10cm to my height gets the top of my head to just over 180cm and makes conversation with my Dutch friends easier :-). Another: the heels mean I watch where I am putting my feet, to the point that I stumble less than sometimes I might do in trainers. And finally, ach, I'm comfortable be a bit of a non-conformist.

A 10cm heel doesn't add 10cm to your height unless you also have a 10cm platform. If you don't believe me, try measuring yourself and you'll find you're only just over 5cm taller with no platform.

I'm sure you can work out the maths: continental drift multiplied by the ambient temperature minus the trunk diameter of the second oak tree from the left and the square of the glacial erosion of the Mississippi during February. Sorry, couldn't resist that one.

[Aglo]

Hey Tacchi, I can't believe that it needs a 10cm platform to get me 10cm higher. That would imply that a higher heel has no effect at all! But then you rescue yourself. As an architect often on site I have plenty of triangulation to do in the day, so I like to switch off in the evening :-).

[Tacchi Alti]

It's just simple: Your ankle joint is higher off the floor than your toe joints and quite a bit forward of the back of your heel. The only way a four-inch heel would raise you four inches without a four-inch platform would be if your ankle joint were a hinge right at the back of your heel. Just one of my personal hang-ups. You see so many times that people imagine a six-inch heel without platform will raise them six inches. It will actually raise them very little more than a four-inch heel. To those who doubt - measure it!

[Aglo]

Sorry Tacchi, you're not making sense. I could wear flat shoes with four inch platforms (and heels) and I would be four inches taller. But if I have four inch platforms with four inch higher heels in addition I am going to be even taller. Not by four inches obviously; what I am trying to say that the platform height is a separate issue from the heel height. I think we're on the same line but getting stuck in interpretations!

[ecohh]

I wear heels for one simple reason. They bring out my fem side. When I'm in high heels, I feel so sexy and alive.

... heels are so sexy and erotic !

[legs777777]

I dont know about anyone else, but to me it just feels right, especially high leather boots for me, love the feeling of them on my legs. x

[seotkrad]

When I slip into a nice pair of stockings and slide my feet into any pair of nice heels, a feeling of ecstasy overcomes me. Wearing other women's shoes such as flat sandals or sneakers, do nothing for me. There is something about the heels and the femininity of particular style that arouses me. Walking in them is something I enjoy immensely. My wife is jealous that I can walk in higher heels than she can. She can't understand how that is possible.

You said it exactly!

[johnieheel]

The femininity has nothing to do with it for me. I have absolutely no interest in feeling or looking fem. I just like the way they feel and look and all the different styles.

[wedgemao]

I go for the looks and the comfort. Another thing that I like to see see how it feels..

[dww]

I totally agree with Johnieheel's answer on this one.

[stilettopete]

Transformation. As well as comfort and femininity. I feel transformed. Something happens. Physically , psychologically even spiritually. Sort of feeling authentic and genuine. The person I really am is revealed. And I'm complete. Healed. Words don't seem to convey the effect. But it's a powerful feeling for sure. Sorry for the incoherent chatter Oh yeah and as pointed out earlier... because I can. And because I can I will.
