Bravo and Kudos to the Boys

[Prima]

In all honesty, even though high stiletto heeled boots were made for women, I believe the men are owning it!!!

I got my 1st pairs of REAL stiletto boots thanks to HHPlace back in the early 2000s. With a fresh reliable DSL hookup to the interwebs, a credit card in hand, and AltaVista on my screen, HHPlace was the first link listed in my search which led me to Leatherworks where I purchased my 5.25 inch babies.  Then there was La Piazza, but I digress 😊

OK, so my "high stiletto heeled boots hero" of all time is this guy:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Re5sHX0Trfg  (I thought it was a woman for the loooongest time, but I was wrong)

Now when I search for videos on extremely high heeled single-sole stiletto boots, I see men rocking and having fun with these heels more naturally than the women.  As a matter of fact, it appears that most (not all, including myself) of the women are forced to wear these by their employer/lover/abductor when you compare facial expressions and body language.  It is also clearly evident here @ HHPlace given the male/female membership ratio. Hey, I thought us women had a higher tolerance for pain than men 🙃.

So CHEERS to the boys!!!...  My bet would be on them if there were ever an open-gender marathon in high stiletto heels competition.  Sorry my fellow ladies 😁

'Envious regards,

I certainly like stiletto boots - I noticed your style preferences in another if your posts. Like you, I dislike platforms, for the same reason as you, and I’m not fond of pointy toes either.

i do like stiletto ankle boots although my preference with ankle boots is chunky heels. I think the long stiletto heels is better balanced visually with a long shaft.

i don’t go for the super high heels. For me the look is too “crunched”. For me, the perfect height, aesthetically, is 12cm or just under five inches. I have a pair of 12 stiletto knee boots and love them, although I find them difficult to walk in (I’ve not practiced nearly enough - my calf muscles just seem to cramp up in 12cm heels. I have 10cm (four inch) stilettos knee boots which I also love, and can walk easily in and enjoy.

i like heels for the aesthetics and 10-12cm is my perfect range for stilettos, although I have several pair if chunky heeled ankle, knee and OTK boots which I wear a great deal!

I also find it very interesting that there are many men here on hhplace.

In my area I barely see any men wearing high heels, but at the same time I feel like there are also less women wearing them.

In the pictures of the "high heel race" post there were also apparently more/only men.

Maybe there's a shift going on and once there will be more men wearing heels than women, who knows.

For me high heels lookswise are still a feminine thing and I like men more in any other type of shoes than heels. But taste is different, and if it's the men who appreciate heels more than the women, I'm totally fine with that!

Somehow it really seems that women may not like high heels that much anymore. Over the last few years, if anybody found out that I'm wearing my high heels regularly, women mostly said that it would be too uncomfortable for them.
