whynotheels Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 So do you have a heel thickness preference? I'm attracted to heels by the challenge of walking on the tiny little heels. Block heels seem too stable to be fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Histiletto Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 Hence, my title! The block, chunky, blade, wedge, or cone look appeals to some people, but I prefer the more sculped clean thin design of the stiletto or sometimes spike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hh4evr1 Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 I also prefer thin heels, but I don't have the confidence yet to wear them in public so when I'm in public I wear thicker heel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billyb Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 My personel preferance stilettos but if we are going break down resistance to men in heels we probabliy should wear stacked or chunky heels then bring in the thin heel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raymond.nl Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 I think an overly thin heel is too feminine for a guy. Just as I think pumps are too feminine. Some tapering of the heel is OK though. But then again most may think high heels are feminine. So it seems I just have different preconceptions... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. X Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 I prefer thin heels too. But in public i only wear thick and save the thin for at home in private. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedesigner Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 thin or wedge, big blocks heels are soooo out of style !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Booted Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 I've found thick or wedge to be most stable for all day heeling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roniheels Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 I've always preferred high stiletto heels, both in private and public. I wore the block heels many years ago when they were in style. But after I wore my first pair of feminine spike heels, I've been hooked ever since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Majo Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 I like thin heels, regardless the wearer. The cone heel with a 0.5 sqr cm base would be what I believe is the thickiest I see as "nice". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 well for me, it must be on the thick side, for sure I dont really want to try & walk on stilettos, just too much wobbling going on for my tast, I love angled slant heels (like western type-feminine style) blade heels (like my NINE WEST boots) or high block platform heels (like my avitar pictured in BLACK, hence my name, DEMONIAPLATFORMS) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bootking Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 I like thin heels far better than thick, but at the same time, I think that they are easier to walk in. To me, the thicker heel gives more of a shock to the heel when walking than the stiletto. It's all about the heel! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffB Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 I prefer thin heels as well, just like in my avatar picture. I find them to be more fun to wear while out in public. To more, block heels are rather boring, no excitement at all, but wearing spike heels is a major rush to me. I don't want to LOOK like a woman, I just want to DRESS like a woman!

Thighboots2 Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 WNH, Like almost every red blooded male, I love thin heels on the ladies, they just complete the whole look and make them so sexy. For guys, given that height is not the issue, I prefer a cuban heel. They taper to give a pleasing shape, but are somewhat thicker at the base and so, to me, are aesthetically correct for the male body shape and size. Not that stiletto heels should be out for guys, but only those lucky enough to be of a slim build can really pull it off (same is true for women too) IMHO. My personal comfort zone is the high cuban and I do that without a care, and that is how you should feel when you step out. Maybe one day my mindset will change and I will do any heel without a care. TB2 Are you confusing me with someone who gives a damn? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flavio Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 I really love thin stiletto heels, but considering the construction of some shoes, blade heels, cone and cuban can look great and coordinates better. Block square heels are a no go for me, they usually look like astronaut's boots, to heavy. Maybe when walking on the grass they can be used, but changed back to something more delicate when back to the hard floor. Flavio - Brazilian heel lover, now in France.
