Do You Wear Womens' Shoes Besides Heels


Recommended Posts

Posted

Besides the high heels, I find myself buying and wearing women's sneakers, clogs, work boots and semi dress shoes. Just interested to know if other members are so inclined.

I'm sorry to say you no. My choices regard heeled shoes only.

Can you see the real me, preacher? Can you see the real me, doctor? Can you see the real me, mother? Can you see the real me?

I dear to buy other shoes as well, such as mules and a pair of sneakers. As well other normal court shoes.... Yes, mskim61, I think we are not the only one.... FL:nervous:

Yes and no. I do buy certain sneakers (Nikes xcellerators, for example) that come in the same style for both men and women.. interseting side story... A few years ago I saw a pair of Colombia hikers that I HAD to have.. I was bummed out when the store did'nt have my size in stock, so I asked the sales lady if they might have anymore in the back. She went and looked, but they were all out of mens 9s'....... What she asked me next absolutely floored me. She asked "would you like to try a womens 10 because we have plenty in stock, and they are the same color"..... ABSOLUTELY!.. I wore those things to death..lol After I wore them out, I bought a second pair in mens 9, but they just were'nt the same..

Why. Except for heels these days there actually is no difference. All the athletic shoes are the same, sandles same, birkenstocks (spelling sorry) same. Heels are the only feminin footware no longer sold to men.

8) For me, the whole deal is the heel! The elevation, the shortening of the foot, the instability, the vertical rise of the instep, the challenge of even walking in the very high ones.

Yes, I wear all kinds of women's shoes. I have very few "men's" shoes left. I started wearing women's loafers because of the width of my feet (narrow - B width). Men's shoes are too expensive to buy in a "B" width because they need to be special ordered. Well made women's shoes can be bought for around $50. I now have close to 50 pairs of loafers/sneakers/sandals/clogs/mules/boots. I wear them everywhere. 4 of my recent purchases have been in the 3" heel range. My most recent boot is in my avatar -- 3.5" Even my family has become used to me in my "womens" shoes.

I certainly do. several different pairs of flat boots & shoes, I really dont have any exept regular MENS dress shoes that I had got for my sister's wedding this summer (which by the way are VERY comfortable, almost like sport shoes!)

Whilst I do buy heels, they are not women's shoes, they are mine. I know that they were designed with women in mind, but there is not, I am sure, a huge number of women with size 12 or 13 feet, so it would seem that the manufacturers intend them to be men's shoes too, or else why would they make them in our sizes?

Yes, I wear a pair of flat shoes which came from the womens section of a catalogue, as well as borrowing some of my wifes shoes occasionally for short shopping trips. They're more comfortable.

You mean to tell me there's women's shoes besides heels? WOW! I didn't know that! Heh! Just kidding! Nope, if it ain't got a high heel, I ain't interested!

I don't want to LOOK like a woman, I just want to DRESS like a woman!

almost all of my footwear was intended for women. flats / clogs / boots (love boots!) / mj's / sandals / you name it, they came from the ladies aisles. i have to agree with somebodies statement earlier, i don't see many women wearing a 12w shoe and so i think some manufacturers are catering to men who wear feminine footwear. men's footwear is like men's clothing. very limited and mostly seems aimed at just not exposing our nakedness. skirts & boots ROCK! r1g0r (wearing skirts to work 100% of the time now)

society has decided that men will be confined to

certain items of clothing, and certain modes of

presentation.

until we rebel PERSONALLY against this, we are diminished!

Thank you Fiddler. When asked, Are those womens shoes you are wearing? My reply is, are they on a woman? Which leaves only one answer. NO! They are mens shoes as they are mine and I am a man.

real men wear heels

I also wear non-heeled woman's shoes. I've several pair of penny loafer style sports shoes with 1½" or 2" heels that I wear when obvious woman's shoes with higher heels wouldn't be appropriate for business purposes. However, I no longer own any "men's" shoes. All of the shoes I own come from the woman's side of the shoe store.

Being mentally comfortable in your own mind is the key to wearing heels in public.

All I wear in womens shoes must have heels of some sort. Some are higher than others - but I love the look of the heel.

Posted

I wear all types of "women's" shoes too. In fact the only pairs of "men's" shoes that I have left are work boots and a couple pairs of dress shoes that I hardly wear any more. I'm wearing my platform flip flops as I type this which should hardly be special except that is October 6 in NW Pennsylvania and in the 80's. More like July weather!

If the shoe fits-buy it!!!!!!

Yes. My favorite footwear is highheel boots but in warm summer weather they are uncomfortable. I wear womens' loafers and sandals with a small heel when the weather heats up.

Posted

Yes, I prefer women's sneakers (which I have to find in a size 14, at least, but women's basketball shoes tend to provide me better ankle support as a whole), flats, and loafers as well.

There is definitely an advantage to having smaller feet. I take a woman's 10, so some of my flat boots and shoes were from the women's dept. I have two pairs of boxing boots, plus some Keds that I wear on a regular basis. My favorites are still heels, but cannot wear them some times, so the flatties will have to do.

Hey, those who complimented you probably didn't even know that your footwear was targetted at women! Are the shoes totally flat, or do they have 1 or 2 inches?

I've got a few pairs of womens sneakers, including the usual keds and womens versions of puma speedcats. I've gotten compliments on both the blue and black/pink pumas from women 8)

Nope. Heels only for me, thank you. Otherwise, what's the point? If I want to wear anything flat, I have my hiking boots for that.

Plus, they are thinner in width than the usual men's style as well (which you can probably discern from the above pic).

Right! I still don't know why "male" footwear is so bulky- either horribly elongated, or much too wide. I loathe that!

I have several pairs of women's shoes that I wear on a regular basis. In fact, I don't remember the last time I wore any of the three pairs of men's shoes that I have other than projects around the house. I have several pairs of sneakers, loafers, and flip flops that I wear daily.

I own mostly 3+ inch heels, and a pair of women's boots with 2 inch heels. However, I've been seriously considering ballet flats lately, as I find them extremely attractive.
