What Is Your Opinion On This Situation?

Please understand I'm not at all devastated by the large number of "unhelpful" votes.

Nothing you've written indicates that you were either "devastated", "sweating the small stuff" or otherwise losing sleep over the not helpful votes. Just mentioning something that any heel wearing man would notice if he reads shoe style reviews doesn't make you devastated.

Also, though my review would omit the topic of acceptance of men in heels, your brief mention of it wasn't excessive. I've read at least one very defensive man's review where the reviewer went on at length about not being a crossdresser and not being gay etc. That was a turn off.

Product reviews are written primarily to inform other shoppers about the product being sold. That is why they are published and some sites indicate how helpful they are to other shoppers. Yours is an aid to men, and some women, who are considering buying that style of shoe/sandal.

Unfortunately, a lot of women don't like the notion of men wearing "their" styles and indicate this with negative feedback.

Gibby and StarCrossed, Thanks for your comments and observations. Very helpful. Steve

My opinion is that when you said, " I am a male, happily married, dress in male mode, and I have a narrow foot, so women's shoes fit me better than men's. My wife is fine with it and says guys can look good in the right shoes, even if they're intended for women. Thank you Aerosoles!", your review departed boundaries most people expect from a review, and the negative votes were all "Eww!" - factor.

As your review was quite precise, those people who don't care one way or another were able to objectively give you a thumbs up.

Thanks, Kikepa. You're right. Next time I'll tone it down and not be apologetic. I could have done better. Steve
