JohnH Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 I have the following pairs of men's shoes (I have some others that I don't wear often): Boat shoes - almost non-existent heel Really bad for walking! Earth Shoe sandals (bought in the 1970} - dead flat! More uncomfortable to wear and walk in than my 4 inch stiletto sandals! black Propet sandals - almost as bad as the Earth Shoe sandals Hiking boots Slip on men's dress shoes Lace up men's dress shoes I have to have dress men's shoes for church. They do have heels high enough for my comfort. I will NEVER buy another pair of men's sandals. They are heavy, clunky and dead flat! What I like about women's sandals is that they are light and not dead flat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luvfemshoes Posted August 13, 2010 Author Share Posted August 13, 2010 sorry if I surgested that the shoes we chose to wear aren't mens! I just mean't shoes that society deems as male footware! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onyourtoes Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 I've got a few pairs of shoes that were bought from the drab side of the store, though they're mostly shoes that most men I know wouldn't wear. I think I have 3 pairs of western style boots: a nice pair of Frye Campus Boots from eBay that were made around the time Frye started shaving down their men's heels, but before things got silly. A pair of gray Mexican made cowboy boots with typical cowboy heels and sharp pointed toes, and my new pair of red Paul Bond custom boots with heels that top out around 4 inches. I have about a half-dozen pairs of Saucony Jazz Originals sneakers in a variety of colors. They're split between men's 10 1/2 and women's 12, surprisingly, my latest bright orange pair was sold in men's sizes only -- the women at the gym always compliment me on my matching shoes and shirt. A pair of black wood and leather Bastad/Troentorp clogs which were sold with no gender designation. A pair of black suede Skecher's Shape-Ups. I wanted a pair of dark, vaguely traditional-looking shoes, and for once, I thought the men's looked better on me. A few pairs of Japanese geta, a pair of wood sole zouri, and a pair of calf-high tabi. That's all I can find in the Men's department of my closet.

Guest Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 just some FLORSHEIM dress shoes that I bought @ outlet store once back in '07 (very comfortable I might add) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roniheels Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 I have a few pairs of "men's" boots that I wear to work. They have three inch heels on them. As I stated in a previous post, I now have more feminine high heels than "male" foorwear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffB Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 Just a pair of boring old Payless men's dress shoes I wear at work, plus three pairs of men's sneakers. That's it for me. I don't want to LOOK like a woman, I just want to DRESS like a woman! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heelguy Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 luvfemshoes, you say you just mean shoes that society deems to be mens shoes, say you have none, but then tell us you have some hitops? :S hitops are traditionally mens shoes.. But yes i have a pair of puma hitops and a pair of nike hitops, some lacoste lace up slip on style shoes and some asics onitsuka-tiger. Not only do i have a liking for heels and other womens brandad shoes, but i LOVE my hitops, im always on the hunt for a new unique pair that i really like Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yozz Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 I still have a few pairs, but that is only because I don't throw things too easily. I have not used them for years. At work I wear some very neutral shoes or (under the pants) boots from the interesting part of the shop. My size forces me to buy them there Y. Raise your voice. Put on some heels.

hh4evr1 Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 The only mens shoes I have are trainers. All my other shoes and boots are womens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maninpumps Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 4 pair- steel toe workboots, wingtips, boat shoes and sneakers. Furthermore I hate all 4 pair!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wood&metal Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 Counting the shoes and boots, I'd guess it's about 50/50... I don't really care so much if they are labeled "mens" or "womens", it's just how they look and fit that matters to me.. Never frown because you never know who is falling in love with your smile.

Tljakes Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 3 pairs cowboystyle boots, 1 zip up and 2 pull on with 2,5" heels 2 pairs zip up boots wit 1" heels 1 Pair Boat shoes 2 pairs of Crocs, yes I know they're ugly but they can be mistreated without me worrying. One pair is for gardening and all round chores the other for going to the Dojo. 1 pair sneakers Why tiptoe through life only to arive safely at death?

saudade Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 2 pairs of motorcycle boots, they have a steel plate and graphite and some other fun stuff in the sole. Have one pair thats lived through 2 crashes, the leather used is awesome. I love em, though they HURT to walk in, no give whatsoever from the sole. Then again, they aren't supposed to be walked in for long with metal plates in them. 1 Pair of rock climbing shoes, will be getting another, not much difference besides colors between guy/girls rock climbing shoes really. 2 pairs of dress shoes from ages ago, don't really wear them except to work. 2 pairs of running shoes, want to replace these with the glove like shoes though, barefoot running is way easier on my shins. 2 pairs of tennis shoes that have been broken in over the years and aren't going anywhere because they are the comfy shoes I can walk in with blisters on my feet or whatever short of broken bones.

stefan Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 Not many. mainly what I need for work. Haven't worked up the courage to wear heels to work yet. Best regards, Stefan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docs41 Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 Just an old pair of work boots and two pairs of dress shoes. If the shoe fits-buy it!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heel-Lover Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 No, threw em all out 2 to 3 years back as part of a change I went through. I prefer traditional 'womens' styles, which I now call 'my' styles, back then I challenged myself to wear what I felt like and threw out all shoes that were lace-up. Technically I still have 5 or 6 pairs of running shoes but thats it folks! I just prefer more style, colour and delicate designs on my feet. regards Heel-Lover Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heellovr79 Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 I usually wear mens running shoes to work and I do have some mens dress shoes from Payless for church, but anytime I'm alone at home, high heels are what are on my feet. Black patent, open toed high heels are the best! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acin75 Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 Well couting all my heels, I'd say it is a 1:7 ratio of men's flat:heels. I got like 3 huge boxes aof high heels and just a few pairs of the really most nescessary men's shoes and bootes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marion Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 I must admit there's one pair of Van's skateboard shoes I bought more than 10 years ago in my closet. I only wear them when I have no other choice (to go hiking for example). I haven't bought any "men-labelled" shoes since.

abburke Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 Without performing actual inventory I would say my collection is about half what is considered "men's" and the other half of course what is considered "women's." I have not purchased any "men's" in a couple of years now. I have a few pair of "men's" boots and sandals that are actually stylish and the rest are the necessities such as a pair of sneakers and some work boots. Even my wife who has strong opinions admits that the "men's" section in the shoe department is very boring and seriously lacking in any style or fashion.

tallguyinheels Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 I've got a whole range... Hiking and Western Boots, Running and Basketball "Trainers", A Wedding and Funeral black wing tips, and six daily wear work shoes (I keep a newish and worn pair) Sperry Topsiders, and Brown and Black Italian Loafers. Gosh that's more shoes than heels! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
