    Another interesting thread I've stumbled on today. You don't need to wear high heels if you don't want to for any reason and you can still be a girl Like long hair and big bust, high heels are one of the most obvious differences between a man and a woman so I can see why they are a necessity for most and that's fine of course too. Personally for me, I wear them for a few reasons. One is cause I like to always be learning something, learning how to walk in them, I also like how they make my legs look taller and slender, and lastly the boys love them (& girls), which I try my best to make happy.

    Frédérique, you can try wearing low kitten heels maybe something like this? http://i572.photobucket.com/albums/s...g?t=1372606336

    Freddie. That woman you saw break off her heel on a metal grate in Boston might have been my ex-wife. She must have done it a half dozen times. I was with her once when she did it, and she tried to hobble on one heel and one flat. I told her to give me the remaining heel, and I broke it off so she had two flats and could walk.
    When it comes to wearing heels I fall in the grey area between you and the heel fanatics. I love the 1.5 to 2 inch lift you get with midrange heels. Just enough lift without being tortured by the 5 inch beasts. (I had two pairs of those and they went to Goodwill after weeks of trying to walk in them).

    You don't ever go to the "promised land" while dressed. It's only natural you have no desire or need for them.

    Different strokes for different folks?

    Or no strokes for some folks?

    I ONLY dress to go to the Promised Land, in fact I promised it to myself one fine day, making things up as I went along...

    That’s another good topic, Wild – what is one’s “Promised Land” of crossdressing?

    Let’s see, what’s my fetish? Probably pleated skirts. I began with that, and then gradually worked my way through all sorts of femme stuff, including the glorious undies. One thing led to another. I used to get all dressed up and play as a girl on the farm where I once lived – it was a very marshy place, not good ground for heels, so I never really considered them. You had to be there. Over time, Mary-Janes, or variations thereof, became a secondary fetish of mine...

    Love heals but rarely wear them. I prefer to blend so I like to not emphasize height. That plus osteoporosis which means a misstep could easily lead to a broken bone. Have you ever looked at the feet of older women to see what a lifetime of wearing heels has done to their tootsies!

Any higher and I'll need to strap on a parachute. Good Luck, cupcake.

    Freddy, I'm very impressed you wear flats!

    For me heels seem to be important because:

    1) I wear flats as a guy and I try desparately to separate my genders as much as possible, being bigendered.
    2) Heels have shown to be positive for the health of my back. My lower back injury is directly helped by even just standing in heels!
    3) Serious heels force my body to respond without thought to change the way I move, the perception being that the movement is more feminine.

    Leaving out #2, I suddenly feel that heels are a crutch to my feminine presentation. Maybe we should all be more that a little jealous that you are quite happy without the crutch...hmmmm.

    Of the loads of shoes I have, about 1/4 are heels of some kind. But, I'm with you Freddy. I'd rather be in scrunch flats any day. Like anyone else I like to dress "up" sometimes. That's when the heels come out. But most days I'm like most of my gg friends. Comfy.
    By the way, these damn Toms are sooo freaking comfortable. Even if they aren't the cutest thing in the world!

    I've never found a pair of heels that I could really say felt comfortable.Needless to say,when starting all this I bought them right and left, only selecting them on how wonderful they looked...guess I had to exhaust that avenue.I do think they are incredibly attractive and can greatly affect ones walk,but after forcing the issue for three years,I had to wonder if they were really worth contorting my feet into such an uncomfortable position.

    I eventually changed over to heels with some sense of support..a chunkier,lower 2" or 3" heel helps with this and I can handle the slighter angle ok.

    For me heels are a sore touchy subject, I would love to be able to wear them more, and for longer periods of time. Unfortunately my ill sized feet Women's 12 on a 5'6" 160 pound frame, along with poor almost non-existent circulation in my feet causes certain problems for me begging with.

    A. My foot size causes most types of heels to look closer to boats then actual heels on me. B. Even with the wonderful Pay Less Selection and few options Target has, I've accumulated over the years some of those size 12's are too painful to wear for more than an hour or so. C. More related to the limited Pay Less Selection- If manufacturers and stores seem to have no problem expanding clothing sizes in general, is it too much to do the same with heels at an affordable price and give us big foot girls a selection in actual brick and mortar stores, not just a few websites!!!! Come on Khols, Macy's, Dillards, etc. Basically most clothing store's have a section for Women's Size for clothes indicating there is a substantial market for that, why not the same concept for shoes. D. I will also guess their are a good number of GG's who have large feet (Peggy Hill of King of the Hill Fame) as well, so it can't all just be CD's being the bulk of the large shoe size market place.

    Back to the purpose of Freddy's philosophical commentary/editorial on heels. I'm not really a fan of them because my foot size, If I were a size 10 heck even 11, I would be obsessed with them. Since I'm not one of those petit sizes, I look at them as more of a necessary evil to complete a feminine look.

    Good on you Frédérique!

    This thread is additional proof that gender expression does not come down to two choices or even a spectrum. Instead, it is a myriad of different possibilities and choices, depending on the comfort, desires and internal view of the person.

    For me ... I honestly dont know lol. I have tried going shoe shopping (once with my wife, once without) and I didnt a) find something I liked and b) know what I actually liked haha.

    This is probably what I am thinking subconsciously:

    Good luck. In other words, don't waste your time...

    My favorite flats aren't good for walking, that's for sure, but the pain of impracticality is kinda exhilarating. I see it as a kind of delayed penance...

    I would love to have some flats or low heels, it i could ever find them in ladies size 15 or 16, at a price i could afford, too. My lowest heels are 2 1/2" and i am six foot eight and a half in those, and about six foot ten, with hair up. I love the sexy look , that high heels create, making the legs look longer, and shapely, but after a half hour, my toes are killing me. But, i am a fool for heels...but would like a have a pair of flats.

    I love heels. I did own a pair of women's tennis shoes that I use to walk on the treadmill with. It was a reason to walk. But heels win. It is great that the styles today are high heels. I think they make my legs look great and my wife agrees. She even helped me pick out my last 4 pair of high heels.

    It depends on the heel. I generally like 3-4 inch heels. I've tried to wear 5 inch heels, and honestly I can't even stand in them for more than a minute, and walking in them forget it. Knock an inch off, and it totally changes everything. I can walk comfortably in 3-4 inch heels (albeit only around my living room so far), and love any trendy, sexy, or cute looking 3-4 inch heels. Yes 3.5 and 3.75 inch heels count, and some of my favorite shoes are 3.5 and 3.75 inch boots. In fact I just bought a 3.5 inch mid-calf boots today, and am wearing them right now, and absolutely love them I really like boots and open-toe shoes for some reason. Flats are okay. I also don't like pumps because for some reason I feel like I slip easily, making walking in them difficult, or my toes feel scrunched.

    Since having a new wooden lounge floor laid I'm banned from wearing my 4" stilettos unless I'm sitting with my feet on the rug so as not to mark the floor. Luckily I have several pairs of low heels, 2.5" or less & not as pointy. They are actually more comfortable & easier to walk in. The floor is a good excuse to more pairs of lower heels !

    I love wearing heels, but it is hard to beat a pair of dance/ballet slippers with a split sole for comfort around the house.

    I love my flats .. pretty and sooooo comfortable .. they took some finding, too, as I'm a UK size 11 and the specialist tranny retailers almost exclusively sell high heels. I wear my flats around the house even when I'm otherwise in bloke mode.

    But I must admit I've recently been thinking about getting some heels, just to see what it's like to wear them, really.

    Is the impracticality and restrictiveness of heels (other than as military riding wear) an intrinsic part of their perceived femininity, in the same way as some dresses are really tricky to zip or unzip on one's own .. "can you zip me up, please, Darling" .. the same can go for the fiddly little clips on necklaces, too ?

    High heels were adopted by women as part of a fashion for masculine attire, of course .. the girls were and are way ahead of us in crossdressing!

    Just another example of "we're all different" and we all find different things flattering. Not all dressers are cut from the same mold, to each their own...I love my heels by the way and all the compliments I get when I wear them.
