raincat Posted October 13, 2004 Share Posted October 13, 2004 I love it! Women who wear heels are to be admired and appreciated for the feminine visage they create. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeffM Posted October 13, 2004 Share Posted October 13, 2004 Saw this some years ago in hospital of all places on a wall behind the nurses station. Maybe then it was directed at male nurses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Shoe Posted October 13, 2004 Share Posted October 13, 2004 I saw it on the wall of a female flight sergeant's office while I was in the RAF.

Fortunately, there's a remedy - it's called rebellion. Wear whatever you want, fellahs! The only thing we have to loose is our freedoms if we don't wear whatever we want!

flipflop klipklop Posted October 15, 2004 Share Posted October 15, 2004 Saw this some years ago in hospital of all places on a wall behind the nurses station. Maybe then it was directed at male nurses. The male nurses here in the States are comonly seen wearing clogs. Wasn't very common some 15 years ago, but is pretty common now. Not just the male variety like the Italian or Spanish styles, but female looking clogs. Maybe it's gender neutral now in the medical community. Yes, it's beautiful isn't it?

Dansko has been selling medical clogs for both men and women for years. The style difference between them is minimal, at best. I'd be interested to see Dansko and a few others work a higher heel into their lines - for both men and women. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Shoe Posted October 16, 2004 Share Posted October 16, 2004 I saw some clogs in a shop that sells to the catering trade that had high heels. Apparently, they are available up to EUR46 which equates to a mens' 11! They were about 4" at the heel and 1.5 at the toe!

Bubba136 Posted October 16, 2004 Share Posted October 16, 2004 Just plain white clogs for the medical profession. Like combat boots for women solders. How much styling can a designer apply to a item worn as part of a uniform? Being mentally comfortable in your own mind is the key to wearing heels in public.

Firefox Posted October 16, 2004 Share Posted October 16, 2004 A look at http://www.zappos.com (and search for Dansko) shows they do 274 women's styles and 30 men's styles. The women's clogs go up to 2 1/2" heels, but most are 2". There are some very similar clogs to the womens 2" styles in the limited mens range. It looks to be the same base unit, but no heel height is quoted against the men's styles in common with most men's shoe marketing descriptions. I think they regard it as an adverse measure if they quote a heel height on mens shoe. If they ever brought out some 3"+ heels in the women's range, it looks unlikely these particular styles would be available in the men's given the current marketing stance.

BobHH Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 This seemed as good a place as any to post this. The Nov. 17th Orange County Register has an article reprinted from the Sacramento Bee titled "Shoes can't keep pace with women's larger feet." "Just try to find something fun and fashionable in a size 11 or 12." "But when it comes to footwear for bigger feet, you're more likely to hear the words "sensible shoes," "old-lady shoes," "clodhoppers," or "boats and skis." The article says the average American woman wears a size 9 today compared to size 6 forty years ago, whereas the average American man's size has only increased from 10 to 10 1/2. It also says the women are an inch taller and 25 lb. heavier than before. The tone of the article is that women's clothing has kept up with the size increase but shoe manufacturers have not changed their practices. (I know the local Macy's stores carry only up to size 10). The founder and president of DesignerShoes.com, Barbara Thornton wears size 11 1/2. Her site carries sizes up to 15. I've looked at the site. It's easy to use. Go to the size table and click on your size and width, and the available selection will be displayed. Heels aren't real high, but styles are OK. http://www.designershoes.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
