    There are two things I like about flats.

    1) they're much easier on the feet for long walks. 2) They are women's shoes. I have two pair of flats. One pair are white sandals, the other black and shiny. I don't care for the ballet style myself.

    For me, a pair of comfortable heels (under 3") is wonderful.

    Maybe it's an age thing, Esther? I used to think my high school girlfriend and the other girls were cute in flats. When I was 16.

    But, I'm 70 and no longer have any interest in teen girls. I also have no interest in presenting as one.

    I'm now attracted to sexy, adult women and prefer to have Sherry present that way whenever possible!

    I would ask u similar questions to those u asked:

    Do u wear flats because u find them attractive on women?
    Or, do u wear them because they r more comfortable and u r less likely to be noticed out in them than heels?
    U can't keep doing the same things over and over and expect to enjoy life to the max. When u try new things, even if they r out of your comfort zone, u may experience new excitement and growth that u never expected.

    Challenge yourself and pursue your passions! When your life clock runs out, you'll have few or NO REGRETS!

    I wear those shoes that best match the outfit and color. If I have two pairs that are different only in heel height, I wear the pear I feel is most appropriate for the occasion.

    At the time I was in high school (the 90s) flats were not common at all but I was fascinated by them anyway. Most of the articles of female clothing I was interested in where not very fashionable at the time. It is quite hard for me to figure out where the fascination comes from. Maybe from very early childhood memories or from movies. Maybe subconcsiously they represented an idea af femininity.

    In the present it is more the other way around:I like it when women wear flats because I like them for myself. When I check out women most of the time it is because I envy their clothes/shoes.

    One of the quickest giveaways of a crossdresser is being the "woman" in the crowd who is 6' 4" tall and wobbling around in a pair of 4" heels. If our goal is to pass or blend into a crowd as a woman, we wear flats unless we are uncommonly short for a man. Most of my shoes are flats. When I go out it's always in flats. I'm not really going anywhere where heels would be expected anyway.

    Work well with jeans or leggings too.

    I love flats, being tall for a woman tends to lead one in that direction.

    I too love ballet flats. They have their place in my wardrobe. For one, I wouldn't wear heels with a miniskirt or shorts. Yes, the combination can be sexy as hell, but for some reason the overall "cuteness" of ballet flats works for me more when in a miniskirt. And secondly, in terms of colour coordination, the miniskirts I have work way better with ballet flats I have.

    Ballet flats are my absolute favorite! Coupled with a nice pair of pantyhose or tights, just love the look and comfortable feeling of them! I haven't wore heels enough to get good at walking in them yet, but no issues with those shoes! Also grew up around girls doing ballet as a stage techie person, so I bet I was influenced a bit there too.

    I'm 6'1" and in my younger days would wear a moderate heel from time to time, but love sandals to show off my pedicure. So being used to sandals made flats an easy option. After I broke my heel a couple years ago heels became impossible to wear so flats, athletic shoes and sandals were my go to shoes, as long as they complimented whatever outfit I was wearing. I'm almost healed enough that I can wear a short heel now and plan to when I don't need better traction in the ice and snow of winter.

    And I wear them because they are the shoes that go best with the clothing I'm wearing at the time. If I'm presenting in guy mode I wouldn't be found wearing ballet flats or cute sandals, it needs to correspond to the rest of the outfit.

    Yes I would have to say that I love my flats. I have several pair and they look feminine and feel great. As to your second question, I wear women's clothing because it is women's clothing.

    Lately it's occured to me.....What a long strange trip it has been.

    I enjoy flats also. Wearing them with cute ruffle socks is one of my favorite looks. Flats are great and your feet don't hurt from wearing them all day while you do housework.

    I used to be a heels and boots only Gal until I had my 2nd most recent outing where the GG I went shopping with persuaded me to buy a pair of flats, which I put on immediately. I have to say I really did love wearing them, I have to agree 100% with Fiona comfy and cute. Of course flats also helps keep my height down to help me blend. Of course when i went out for dinner that night I was back in a dress with heels. But my blue flats are now a proud addition to my wardrobe.

    With my big fat feet, flats are a sensible option, but recently I have found a pair of sandals with a 2 inch heel which look good and actually fit me, so they are my Go To shoes until I find a pair of heels which actually fit me. Having said that, if I find a pair of flats which look feminine, and make me feel feminine, I have this feeling that I will end up living in them. Of course, half of the fun is in the search.

    I like Sandal flats.

    It keep the height down and keep the tibia leg shorts as women's tibia are shorter. Also you can blend in better.

    If I'm going out the with shoes it's really horses for courses. If going shopping I always follow the mantra dress to blend so 95% of the time I'll be in flat boots. They're more comfortable and less tiring on the legs if you're out for a day. I do have a pair of ballets that I wear on odd occasions.

    The 5% of time spent shopping not in flat boots will be in a fairly low heeled court or strappy wedge. If going out socialising then that's when the heels come out.

    I don't know what qualifies as a flat heel. My every day women's heels for doing domestic chores is a comfortable three inch heel. No strain whatsoever on the legs. Higher than that I feel it in the calves. When I took up going for evening strolls I found a narrow heel did not work well walking on concrete sidewalks. Very uncomfortable. I found a pair of heels which are about 1 1/2 inch with a solid heel, not narrow spike. That shoe is very comfortable for taking strolls. And the material on the entire sole/heel is really not noisy. I consider that another plus....not attracting attention with the 'click, click' of a narrow heel.

    I’m good with flats or low heels. My feet aren’t great, and I need orthotics for almost every pair of shoes and boots I own.

    I love flats, especially ballerina flats. They go so well with tights and short skirts.

    I prefer heels most of the time but do have a couple pairs of flats for when I am in the mood.

    I prefer heels for the looks, but flats are more confy.
    Wanting something is a fantasy which on a long time period clouds your mind and makes you think you need it.
