I would say whatever suits the image... if you are going more feminine then a graceful feminine walk is needed, a chunkier larger stride walk would not suit finer tailored trousers or skirts with heels, especially stiletto heels as these are the realm of very feminine attire.

Having worn heels for 4-5 years openly, and a good year now with skirts as well (but as a man - now that sounds like a contradiction!) I speak from experience when I say that the higher your heels get the more you have to use your hips to walk fluidly. If I want to walk quickly in high heels then I will lead with each hip as that foot goes forward because it gives each step that little extra distance and ensures I keep my knees straight and ensures I don't turn my toes inward. Inward turned toes are a sign of the wearer of heels that are too high for them to manage. You should try it - take a step with your toes turned in vs turned out and you will see you can stride longer with your toes inwards (while keeping straight knees). I deliberately don't cross my feet over but keep them in an imaginery straight line when walking so I don't go into a "catwalk model strut" - but there definitely is a pronounced sashay of my hips. I always push my shoulders back and make sure my weight is back on my heels and not on my toes. I keep my shoulders still as I walk and let my torso/ hips do the work. You can push your arms more across your body as you walk - rather then forwards and backwards like a guy generally does as this stabalises you hip movements.
I don't think it is a noticeable on a guy as a girl because we guys don't have the wide hips - therefore it is much less pronounced.

I am quite happy to have some element of a feminine walk because when I wear heels they are always stiletto heels, very high and very pretty. The walk suits the shoes and accessories.

As with anything you can dial-up whatever you feel like. There is no reason whay a guy couldn't strut it right out, it is easy to do - but it draws the wrong kind of attention in my opinion. The whole image needs to piece together in some form.

See ya
