addicted Posted June 22, 2006 Posted June 22, 2006 Heya. As a girl who'se really into heels, i was hoping i could get some male insights into what it is about women in high heels that attracts you? What does it say to you, why do you respond to it the way you do? etc. For me, heels just look amazing, they are sexy, there is an element of trying to make other women feel out-heeled. But, i'd really appreciate a guy's perspective. Thanks guys.
chris100575 Posted June 22, 2006 Posted June 22, 2006 High heels are beautiful in themselves, so for me there's a certain amount of admiration just for the shoes. What attracts me to women in them? Well they make you taller for one thing, and I like tall girls. They look and sound sexy when you walk, and they accentuate the arch of the foot and the calf muscle giving an aesthetically pleasing curve. They also tend to make your hips move more as you walk, which in turn gives a pleasing motion to the buttocks. High heels also look more feminine than flat shoes, which is also attractive. It's not an easy thing to describe objectively, in the same way that I can't really describe why I like boobs! Chris
Dr. Shoe Posted June 22, 2006 Posted June 22, 2006 That's right. I don't think it's possible to say why we like high heels on women. I think it's the way they make a girl walk (if she's accomplished) and it's the shape of the legs and the arse. It's also because it means that the girl likes to look sexy and that could imply that she likes to behave in a sexy way and is a sensual person. That's not to say that I perve over girls in heels or fantasise about them but it's a bit like admiring a ferrari when all the other cars on the road are ford escorts.

Dawn HH Posted June 22, 2006 Posted June 22, 2006 I quite agree with Chris and Dr. Shoe. It is very hard to answer your question, but I believe that what they say is explained very well and I couldn't do it any better myself. Cheers--- Dawn HH High Heeled Boots Forever!
Tallboots Posted June 23, 2006 Posted June 23, 2006 For me it's not the woman in high heels that attracts, but rather the footwear itself. A beautiful woman can be less attractive if the shoes/boots she wears are not of my liking. But then again that same woman can become even more attractive if the footwear is right.
Fog Posted June 23, 2006 Posted June 23, 2006 ..and it's the shape of the legs and the arse... You've got such a way with words! Is that medical terminolgy Doctor?
Dr. Shoe Posted June 23, 2006 Posted June 23, 2006 I wouldn't know! I'm only into feet!!! Graduate footwear designer able to advise and assist on modification and shoe making projects.

To me they are the mark of a woman that want's to look her very best and has the confidence to do so despite what the less confident have to say about it. I find that extremely attractive!

Steve B Posted June 23, 2006 Posted June 23, 2006 My feelings are pretty much the same as what has already been mentioned. In addition, I find the sight of a heel popping out of a black stiletto pump, an arch winking out with each step, a shoe dangling from a sexy foot, and a foot slipping in and out of a stiletto pump most appealing. Black 5-inch stilettos - the only way to go!
BobHH Posted June 24, 2006 Posted June 24, 2006 Heels and pretty feet are sexy, and I like wearing high heels. Having said that, they really don't figure into the desirability of a female as a girl friend except she must think mine are OK.
neildragon Posted June 24, 2006 Posted June 24, 2006 This is a hard question to ansure. I think what's sexy about a woman in heels is her confadence and attude while wearing heels. Like when my girlfriend isn't wearing heels she is a little shy and not very outspoken but when she is wearing heels she makes her presence known and isn't affraid to speak her mind.

shrimper Posted June 24, 2006 Posted June 24, 2006 To me shoes in general and high heels in particular are a thing of beauty. I have felt this way since I was a young child. There is no why, it is what it is. Wearing heels whether me personally or others is an art that not everyone masters. I see some women such as Jasmine Guy and Paula Abdul who can perform almost any movement or activity in heels with little extra effort. Then I see some women who never master more that a 2 inch heel. I've often wondered why that is. Then there are the attitudes that folks have about various styles of shoes. I was once encouraging a female friend to try some 3 inch pumps, which I think is pretty conservative but she called them "whore shoes". I had never thought of them that way. I do see platform shoes as indicative of strippers or drag queens though. How did I get that attitude? Speaking only for myself, I can say that I love the sight and sound of a woman walking in a well-fitted pair of heels that complement the rest of her wardrobe. I love the feel of feminine footwear on my feet but from what I have seen in the mirror I'm not much to look at.
TXT-1 Posted June 25, 2006 Posted June 25, 2006 as a straight guy... For me, the heels have to go with what the lady is wearing, I once saw a drop dead gorgeous chick whith an nice dress, purse.... and black rubber thongs (flipflops) 3" heels = whore shoes.... yeah Riiight! I think the reason why platforms (i'm talking about the 6"-8.5" moulded plastic "stripper" ones btw...) are considered "slutty" or sleazy is because the sell for $39-$68 US dollars a pair... very cheap indeed... and the clear/clear ones look even cheaper! btw I despise clear/clear "stripper" plats... the reason why the porn stars and prostitutes wear them is because they are very easy to wear - compared to 6"-7"+ single soled footwear.... mind you I have never worn higher than 4" arch heels.... I plan on eventually getting a pair of Leatherworks K501's, K501A's, K508-D's or if they exist K508-D-7's I'd get them in england... the K501A's cost $510 a pair here in australia! later, TXT-1
balacau Posted June 25, 2006 Posted June 25, 2006 This is a good question which opens up a new can'o'worms everytime its asked, no matter what forum you see it on I've always found the sight of boots on a woman very attractive, because it shows off the shape of the leg. Yes, heel height is a factor too, as it makes the legs look longer for a start, plus the sound of a cunky heel going down our hollow-sounding office floor is quite something to hear I've asked myself this very same question alot over the years and even looked at what kinds of boots attract me the most. I dont think its anything to do with materials also I'm less impressed by suaede boots...metal heels make me drool though Fascinating replies! I learned the truth a long time ago, being afraid of the dark is what keeps most of us alive...
booty lover Posted June 25, 2006 Posted June 25, 2006 the first thing i look at on a lass is what they have on their feet, be it boots, courts or strappy sandals. the higher the heel the better too :-) they just make a girl look sooo more sexy. stilettos are the way forward, just love them
Smokey Posted June 26, 2006 Posted June 26, 2006 I thing I find most attractive is how impractical they are. In other words the easy choice is flats but it is just so sexy when women make the choice to ignore comfort and practicality and just chose sexy. For me the more often a woman wears heels and the higher they are (without plats), the sexier it is. These incredible women on this forum that are now permanently high heeled are just amazing. I love seeing women with really worn heels, showing they wear them all the time. And also when you see women wearing heels in really impractical situations like walking at the park etc.
Dawn HH Posted June 30, 2006 Posted June 30, 2006 My sentiments exactly, Booty Lover. Cheers--- Dawn HH High Heeled Boots Forever!
mulesrock Posted June 30, 2006 Posted June 30, 2006 I concur with Booty Lover and Smokey. Although I think that some women wear them only for the sexiness factor and some for the love of the awesome high heel.
Paul (North-East) Posted July 1, 2006 Posted July 1, 2006 When I see a woman in high heels it says many things to me. For starters she radiates a level of confidence in herself but the paradox is that at the same time it’s a very feminine thing which makes her slightly vulnerable due to the movement restrictions imposed by heels (Yeah I know there are some women who can run in high heels, but probably most choose not too or can’t). The way the foot is forced into an arch is highly erotic and they seem to tighten up the leg muscles and change the whole stance and walk which is very sexy. In fact the whole appearance of the body changes. What really gets me though is when a girl starts playing with her shoes, dangling, slipping one off etc, especially if it reveals a sexy stocking clad foot! Paul
Gayle Gold Posted July 1, 2006 Posted July 1, 2006 I am amazed the effect that high heels have on blokes ... what ammunition, what power!! GGxxx
e Posted July 1, 2006 Posted July 1, 2006 What do High Heels do for a woman? - High heels make a young woman appear more mature; - High heels make an older woman more youthful; - High heels send a message for all to see that this lady's "still got it" or hasn't lost it; - The same pair of High heels can take the lady to church or the bedroom, strictly based on "attitude"; - High heels can make the lady feel classy or vulgar, depending on her mood (and who's she 's with); - High heels tell her beau that she's willing to "give it that little extra" for their relationship; - This world would be a different place without High Heels!!
Shafted Posted July 1, 2006 Posted July 1, 2006 I am amazed the effect that high heels have on blokes ... what ammunition, what power!! GGxxx I think that most men go through life completely oblivious of that power, but are still affected by it. The men here pretty much recognise that power and I personally am quite attracted to it. I think that wearing heels myself has only made me appreciate the women that wear them that much more. Shafted, the boots that is!

But isn't it really redicoulous that a pair of footwear can do this? I honestly don't think any other bodywear can do the same. But then again, I have a fetish for shoes and boots...
