Not sure about the article, but anyone who can wear stiletto's, and actually walk in them, period, has my respect for that feat. lol

Never been a heel girl myself. I'm a little too riot girl for that.

I'm tall already and don't like uncomfortable shoes. I've never worn women's heels. Flats are fine. I'd like to try 2-3", but it's not imperative.

What's old is new again. Every guy I knew wore shoes with platforms and chunky heels back in the 70's. I still wear cowboy boots with 1 1/2" heels.

I prefer stilettos with platform, which is more comfortable than those without platform. I tend to wear heels nearly everyday, but I prefer wedge or flat sandals.

2 inch wedges or flats I like Stilettos you can keep. Just cause me pain. I don't need fashion badly enough for it to hurt.

Interesting article and I'm for anything that makes people think and question the 'norms'.  Also guys in heels are super hot!!  ;D ;D ;)

I only have a couple of pairs of heels and I don't wear them very often but they feel great and really make me feel very feminine wearing them.  ;D

I think it's a good thing! It breaks down barriers for us, plus more manufactures will take notice bringing more femme shoes in larger sizes.

But they won't be femme shoes anymore when men and women wear them...?

In my not so humble opinion men just about always have better legs! Androgynous guys definitely.

Beautiful legs in stilettos is defiantly hot.

I'm not sure if this counts as a vintage ad or not 1974.

My first stilettos about 15 years ago.

Recent ones which I still keep.

Not easy to walk on while carrying a big bag.

Ha ha. Thanks.

Today, my little daughter at age 14 behind me commented that my legs look sexy, asking what I am going to do if somebody else touches my legs. She further commented my legs look like those of fashion models. I replied that your legs can also look sexy if you exercise regularly by running or biking like me. She said her friends also comment her legs look slim. She likes playing with me with jokes and pranks.

Today at my office:

I agree and let's hope more shoemakers extend larger sixes to ALL femme shoes not just stilettoes!

We're a small demo, but I agree. Size 14/15 is hard to find.

Prince used to like stilettos. Beyonces dancers wear them. Prince was asked why - he said as the Girls do and I want to be where the ladies are! He was a great talent shame he's gone.

Before coming out as Trans I used to love to try on a GFs heels.

I like heels and feel it's great they get made for more people. Bigger girls will want em too

I'm only 5ft 6 and a UK 6-7 so I wear heels when the occasion suits.
