fashionablefun Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 I've got to give it to lolla, a banned member of hhplace. He's got the best blog on men in heels going and he just keeps chugging away, month after month. Now he has people submitting photos of themselves to him and is slowly gaining the attention of the blogosphere. Cheers to a great job at highheelspassion.blogspot.com You keep going lolla. Keep going! From the highheelspassion.blogspot.com website I also discovered the facebook page "High Heels for Men" http://www.facebook.com/photo_search.php?oid=21208181377&view=all which is run by Victor Blanco, a Spanish fashion stylist who displays a very strong fashion sense together with a passion for high heels. He has nearly 300 photos of himself and others all in heels. He also has a blog, "The Last It Boy", http://lastitboy.blogspot.com/, which is not exclusively about high heels, but definitely includes stylish feminine footwear and fashions. I like the stuff.

mikeheel Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 I have been a member of this Facebook section for about 6 months. Some interesting pictures. We should have our own UK high heeled men section...... M You won't get me wearing flat shoes...I really can't do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elegant Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 Zana Bayne's fashion blog, www.garbagedress.com , features some guys in heels. For example, http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v76/waxwings27/paris2/DSC_0231.jpg - the person in leather trousers and platform heels looks very androgynous; I tended to think it was a woman, but following pictures http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v76/waxwings27/paris2/DSC_0425.jpg and http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v76/waxwings27/paris2/DSC_0430.jpg leave no illusions. Great look, IMO . What is good for a goose, can be good for any gender! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 On Saturday night in NYC I went to a loft party in the heart of Wall Street..... Then the topic of men in heels came up. It wasn't me who brought it up either. It turns out this guy is friends with Rad Hourani. So when the topic came up, he disappeared to his bedroom and came out with a pair of Rad Hourani heels that the designer had given him as gift. .....(Rad's heels for men are the exact same as the heels for women, but sell at 500 euros as opposed to 1000 according to my source). Thanks for the interesting report KneeHighs. If the male Rads are 500 euro, I wouldn't mind adding a pair to my collection. Just where to find them in London - Clue? Me too, or anywhere else you can buy them in Europe if you can't get them in London - it's about time we went on a weekend city break. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bubba136 Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 I can see the shoes in on the guy with the Zebra top. I've worn similar styles out and about. But, I don't really like the overall look....or the look of the outfit in the second pic. Look to feminine for my taste. Being mentally comfortable in your own mind is the key to wearing heels in public. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kneehighs Posted July 5, 2009 Author Share Posted July 5, 2009 Some new blogger reactions to men in heels. Note that most of the posts reference high heels for men. http://wekilledcouture.blogspot.com/2009/05/men-in-heels.html#comments http://whatindienights.blogspot.com/2009/06/mykro-men.html http://thetruesilverandfashion.blogspot.com/2009/01/heels-for-men.html http://erithemermaid.blogspot.com/2008/11/by-all-means.html My opinion is that those men that wear heels at Paris Fashion Week will be the true trailblazers of heels for men, since they have the exposure to key fashion industry insiders, bloggers, and reporters.

kneehighs Posted July 6, 2009 Author Share Posted July 6, 2009 Apparently one owner of Shoreditch's Beach Blanket Babylon wore heels at Alice Instone's exhibition: Interview with a shoe. I don't know if heels are a regular accessory for him or not, but you can't argue that he had bad timing for wearing heels.

kneehighs Posted July 7, 2009 Author Share Posted July 7, 2009 You know, I met Martin in person. Can't remember if it was the Stephen Sprouse book launch party or the Atelier Relocation party, but what I do recall is how skinny and feminine his hand was when I shook it (very small hand). Nice guy with a phlegmatic spirit. Feminine Style . Masculine Soul. Skin In The Game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kikepa Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 He sure doesn't look masculine, does he? Was he supposed to? I think the designer's intent was otherwise.

kneehighs Posted July 26, 2009 Author Share Posted July 26, 2009 http://blacklist.onsugar.com/home?page=12 Another man with an interest in wearing high heels. Now this guy has a real working knowledge of current high fashion and knows how to incorporate it into his own style.

HeelD Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 ^ Oh, we're contacts on Flickr. Some great outfits he has and I admire his gutsy attitude when it comes dressing the way he does in public. He has lots of male and female admirers. He's breath of fresh air from all the people on Flickr who only seem to post pictures of their feet and legs.
