Heels for Men

[GreatOrion]

Having thought about this I can imagine men wearing heels to some extent. But in my opinion they should not wear stilettos or high heels.
What would be okay are heels like this here:

Yeah, that's the sort of heels I'm talking about when I say I wear block type heels. For example the last pair I bought were these,Click Here

I wear wedges by Rick Owens. So far i find the blocky "glam rock" heels to be so silly. "Let's try to make it look as butch as possible" Which is totally not what I want when I want to wear heels. I like heels because it adds tension, it adds strength and lines.
Unfortunately I'm a size 43, so it's impossible to find womens shoes. Anyone who feels like mentioning the gender aspect can get the **** outof here. I'm about the easthaetics, not the social values in clothes and fashion.
this is how I wear heels.

I'm going to have higher versions made by www.alexanderfielden.com someday

Ooh, is that you? You look amazing! And don't complain haha, one of my friends (a GIRL) is size 43, it's almost impossible for her to find any shoes that aren't trainers, bleh.

I agree with fika if that's you Heirloom. That whole outfit is amazing! And I love those Rick Owens wedges.

 

[Heirloom]

your poor friend! Link her to me and we can mourn together. I'm someday having high heels made for me from alexanderfielden.com

And yes it's me in the photos. I wish i could go higher and more extravagant without looking outof place like most of the fashion boys tend to do. I still like what they wear and how brave they are. It looks good most of the time, but i like to marry the conventional and crazy and still keep it rebellious.

Wow Heirloom you look great!

[Heirloom]

Nomatter when I go to my friend's house to visit, i'm always drawn to try on her Alexander Wang Rip-off heels from Forever XXI (They have a very generous foot-size range, considering I am foot size 10 in men's) And the first time this weekend I could actually zip the back up, which is so wierd, so I asked my friend to take a photo. I wouldn't really be daring as to walk the streets in these (unless i'm wearing Rad Hourani), but I'm sure thats an attempt I can make in Paris someday haha!

Absolutely. I'll show some love for your look in Post #734, GERGIN. I had to take a closer look at the heels you were wearing to go with your outfit. Are those sandals or more like open-toe boots? They look great on you along with the shorts and the blazer. Très chic!

When I did one of my recent fashion-themed blog entries, I've tried to find a number of different pictures on men in heels. I'm absolutely amazed and astounded at how lovely some hommes can look sport feminine heels. More so is how creative and how expressive someone can pull off such wonderful looks with feminine heels. I have respect for all you hommes on here on tFS who wear feminine heels and are able to pull off some lovely looks.

Thank you! They are sandals (Look at Alexander Wang S/S 09 Runway, their exact duplicates of his sandals)
