quidam Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 Are this heels "trés male" or is it just my [twisted] perception? http://www.kurtgeiger.com/online-shop/175627-kurt-geiger-labasa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 I don't know what 'Tres male' means, but if I were the type of guy who thought that I couldn't touch anything female in my footwear choices this would threaten my ability to wear cuban heeled shoes or boots.. I'm so glad I don't care! Charlie Everything I say is a lie!.......I'm lying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Shoe Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 I suppose that's one way of looking at it Charlie. On the other hand if you wanted to wear female shoes as a guy then these would pass unnoticed and unremarked. They look like 1970s dress shoes most men wore. Having said that, I think they're gross!

Charlie Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 LOL What I was trying to say was that it seems everytime women adopt a style that was once a men's style like these shoes you so accurately described, most 'regular' guys avoid that style out of fear of being even remotely identified with something feminine. I call it the 'Burlap Bag' theory because soon that's all that's going to be left for options for guys that think this way to wear after the women have adapted all the other traditional male wardrobe items.

Puffer Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 Well said, Doc and Charlie. Those shoes are so boring and unsexy that I would not wish to wear them as a man and cannot understand how any remotely feminine woman would want them either.

Elegant Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 And I'll disagree... They aren't that bad. They look light and delicate, simmilar to dancing shoes.

quidam Posted January 30, 2011 Author Share Posted January 30, 2011 First of all, I appologize for any misunderstanding I may have caused by using a bit of French here. Next, "trés male" means -in French, as I said before- "very male". That's exactly what that shoe style appears to me: very masculine, despite the unusual height for the heel, which by the way, is not a cuban-style one. I must also admit that I like the style, as I consider it as a "neutral" one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
