Hi All ! I am a male bodied, athletic type (can post pics from letting boy mode out at the gym) and am looking to modify my wardrobe with some items that I can present as male in but still feel a bit feminine as well while I work towards embracing that part of me. I thought that boots or shoes would be a good place to start.  My daily go-to shoes are a pair of classic Doc Martins but would like to find shoes that put a more femme-twist on those, but what I would really love would be to find some black boots that came up a bit higher, something classy but not high heeled or with buckles ( yet). I hope to find something that would be not super pricey ($80-$120ish max) , have good arch support and work with a male size 10 to 10.5. Any suggestions ? Thanks ! 🙂

How about this type?



I purchased them in Wal-mart at < USD 30. I frequently wear them in both male and female mode. In male mode, some comments the heels look to high for men's shoes. It is very comfort to wear and walk.

Might be a style to consider. 🙂 I am curious as to how high up my leg I can get a boot before it yells " I am feeling uber girly today !"  I do like how there is a slight heel lift on those too, that could be nice to sneak in a bit on some occassions.

I am not sure exactly what your fashion is, but I have worn Demonia boots of a bunch of different styles even ones that go all the way to my knees in both male and female mode, and no one really said anything, but then again I dress in the more Goth/Punk style so that brand of boots really works best with that style.

Hah! The second I saw your thread I was gonna suggest Dr Martens. You could also get some fun combat boots, esp in camel (oh, do they have to be black? :c ). Anything much higher up and you're going to need to be part of a subculture, actually equestrian or just really fabulous. Lmao
