Rockpup Posted December 16, 2012 Posted December 16, 2012 Ok, just found Soul Struck, http://www.solestruck.com/mens/ , and posted in the hidden heel thread before I noticed they have several models that are obvious heels. Take a peek. (formerly known as "JimC")
Guest Posted December 16, 2012 Posted December 16, 2012 An interesting mix there some are neat, some Oh,no. Good find. Al
JeffB Posted December 16, 2012 Posted December 16, 2012 Nope. No interest whatsoever. I don't want to LOOK like a woman, I just want to DRESS like a woman!
Dr. Shoe Posted December 16, 2012 Posted December 16, 2012 Nope. No interest whatsoever. Not even these? Or whatabout these? Graduate footwear designer able to advise and assist on modification and shoe making projects.
JeffB Posted December 16, 2012 Posted December 16, 2012 Not even these? Or whatabout these? Nahhhh! I'll pass, thankyouverymuch! I don't want to LOOK like a woman, I just want to DRESS like a woman!
newheeler Posted December 16, 2012 Posted December 16, 2012 Neither of them are wide width i presume? Don't worry, be happy - in heels!
saudade Posted December 16, 2012 Posted December 16, 2012 These are pretty bad ass. http://www.solestruck.com/the-damned-bolo-spike-black-quilted-silver/index.html
Rockpup Posted December 16, 2012 Author Posted December 16, 2012 9inchheel: Yea, was thinking the same thing. (formerly known as "JimC")
ilikekicks Posted December 17, 2012 Posted December 17, 2012 Much variation about on that site. The only thing I saw that was even curious to me was these : http://www.solestruck.com/dr.-martens-8-eye-boot-mens-white/index.html REPEATEDLY ARGUMENTATIVE, INSULTING AND RUDE. BANNED FOR LIFE.
Gudulitooo Posted December 17, 2012 Posted December 17, 2012 Well I spoted this site last year and I have to say each month they have new models. Also they are the only reseller of Campbell shoes for men in Europe I found last year. I wanted the "Area" booties. Though they have a nice color in the men collection, they were available in another store carrying Campbell shoes for women in large sizes. The colors are not the same, but they were half price with free shipping. Also I wanted the "Switchblade" not in stock in my size at the time, and not available as women's shoes. So I filled in the contact form and was informed of their availability a few weeks later. Wow. Very useful. I mean, other websites are not doing that are they ?
Blacksheep Posted December 17, 2012 Posted December 17, 2012 There are some that would certainly suit men, but others are really the heel you wear when you aren't wearing heels. The price tag on some would put many off too. Good to see a shift in marketing though to make heels more mainstream for men Blacksheep
Maninheels Posted December 18, 2012 Posted December 18, 2012 I think it is great that they are making these for men, however; I see the price of these shoes preventing me from buying them, I will stick to women's heels at those prices....
Rockpup Posted December 18, 2012 Author Posted December 18, 2012 Maninheels: True, I might save up for a pair, but since I fit a womens 10 my options are pretty open also. But, for a guy who wears a mens 12, this might be the opening they were looking for. (formerly known as "JimC")
skyhighheels Posted December 18, 2012 Posted December 18, 2012 No, sorry. Will not be shopping on this website.
tightlevisandhhboots Posted January 5, 2013 Posted January 5, 2013 While a few of these shoes do peak my interest, I will be content for now with my Jones Boots for happy heeling! But thanks for the link! TightLevisandHHBoots
WIH Posted January 5, 2013 Posted January 5, 2013 Or whatabout these? A year ago I got the Switchblade by Jeffrey Campbell from Solestruck and I like it very much. But the quality of material and make is not up to the pricing. (And to that shipping costs to Germany and import taxes are added, too). Would I buy it again ? Maybe yes, since I like the design and the feeling when wearing it, but that experience made me much more careful when considering ordering from Solestruck, especially Jeffrey Campbell shoes. Today's comic from Wizard of Id:

Thats good to hear. I've been looking at the Switchblade, but might end up trying one of the wedge Pix boots. I am curious if the 8 is small enough, or if I'll have to stick to the womens side of the isle. How is the sizing of the switchblade? Whats your normal Euro size, and what size did you get?

WIH Posted January 5, 2013 Posted January 5, 2013 My street shoes are Euro size 44. I got Switchblade in men's size 11 and they fit ok, a little bit too tight. Then I also got Men's Tardy in men's size 13 (reason: see description and comments at link and my experience with Switchblade) and they are a little bit too big.
highheel740 Posted January 5, 2013 Posted January 5, 2013 how do the switch blades feel? do they feel like a real high heel?
