Are you choosing what I should wear? - Page 2

As it has been said before it is just mainly a personal preference. Mine is a personal preference in that to me stilleto heels and pointy toes seem a bit too feminine to pull off without at least some wierd looks. I wear styles that i believe won't attract any attention so that way i have my enjoyment and don't have to be self conscious when going out in public. Styles i prefer are mostly chunky heel boots. I am even skeptical about noisy heels, even if they are chunky. But like SQ stated, everyone here is a person who doesn't abide by fashion rules so do what you feel is right and BE HAPPY!!

Histiletto - i agree with you....

it's odd (maybe not the right word.... as it's not a bad thing) that even within our little/big community, we have such diverse goals and ideals....

stilettos are impractical for male... hey they are impractical for female but they are wore for the style, look and how they make the wearer feel..... so i think if people are saying it's inappropriate for male to wear it then it comes down to the whole issue of acceptance again.... (at the same time, i'm happy for samll wins of acceptance of other heels type and hopefully extent to the whole range of heels....)

i blah blahing again.... :)

I think it has already been said, and it applies to this thread as well as other areas of life.

Not to throw a bucket of water on this topic, but here it goes. There is not a darn thing wrong with anyone wearing stiletto heels if they can do it! Now I will agree wholeheartedly that someone too large (m or f) would probably looks a little silly balancing on a skinny skinny heel or shoe. But for most people, it shouldn't really be either a problem or an issue.

It is just our inherent biases that keep categorizing male heels to be "male" or masculine (read thick, wide, etc. etc.) You would actually think that a site like this would generate more openness and a more liberal attitude!

For my last heeled outing, I wore the 4" stilettos, with pointed toes, and a short skort.

Needless to say, the women took notice. But they wanted to dance with me anyway, even though a few offered comments questioning the wisdom of my choice. "I can't wear heels like that," said a few. "How can you dance in those heels?" asked some others. "Don't they hurt your feet?"

Just so you know, my feet were fine, and my legs did not hurt the next day. It is a matter of practice and physical conditioning.

Dancing in those pencil thin heels, I received compliments and style points from other folks on the dance floor.

The proof is in the pudding. Moving like an athlete, while on high heels, is the true test.

I too like Stiletto heels, I'm not really the thinnest guy around, but I still like wearing my Stiletto ankle boots when given the chance. I guess this isn't meant to be a picture thread, but here:

That's an outfit I wear sometimes with my stiletto boots. I don't know what you all think. But I like the way it looks on me, and I will continue to wear it :D In the end, it's only your own opinion that matters.

Great outfit, Newfie! Looks great all the way around!

Like Magickman and Newfie, many have a good handle on their heeling preference and I want to commend all of you for your efforts.

It just irked me to think that I shouldn't wear certain types of heels, due to the fact that some types weren't considered "manly". This is the misguided argument society has been using to keep males from wearing any high heels at all. Here's the proof our social programming is very much apart of how we perceive what looks are good for others, instead of butting out and letting others choose for themselves. Again, I'm not saying we should not continue to have our opinions and express them in a spirit of advice and help when asked, but that is the limit of our personal space verses other's space.

I agree. You look great in that attire and your stiletto heels.

I agree with the majority. It is personal preference. I respect all opinions. I prefer very high stiletto heels both at home and in public. I wear men's clothing and select my high heels to match the outfit. That is my personal preference.

To be honest, I have yet to wear stiletto heels out but the time is very near. I do wear other very thin heel out quite a bit though with out any problems. Some are blade and very narrow and some you might say are just next to stiletto.
BTW, great look Newfie.
