They are not good for your body, and cause compensatory actions in your gait and ankle, knees, hips, and low back joints.
Katie Bowman has written a lot of good information on it.

Like a lot of womens fashion it seems very inconvenient and very painful.
I mean guys like them but to be honest they don’t seem important enough for the hassle.
Stockings seems like a better trade off, mach less likely to make you trip over and fall and the payoff is much bigger

I'm a much bigger fan of heeled boots, up to 5cm or so. Much more practical, easier to walk in, looks better and more stable, and for some reason the clickety clack sound many of them make, makes me feel things.

u/Good-mood-curiosity Dec 01 '22
Ankle strength and good posture my man! Plus nice thick bandaids on the heel/Achilles insertion point, big and pinky toes at the beginning of the night. Then alcohol, the occasional seat and a man to lend a supportive arm and voila! Some high heels with good arch support and ankle grip can actually be quite comfy until the balls of the feet get tired of carrying weight. Or just wear heeled boots--those heels are wider and with the proper ankle and arch support can be so so comfy. I have multiple pairs of 2in heel boots--comfiest shoes I own excluding sneakers.

Sexy, but practice walking with them because 1 it looks More graceful and sexy and 2 you can get hurt if you fall or twist something.

u/udxxr Male Nov 30 '22
In the right situations they can be fashionable and classy. I also enjoy the change in perspective, since it (usually) evens out our heights a little.
But generally they are a pain. Walking becomes slower. If we're dancing we have to practice. If they have to be worn all night they can be quite sore by the end of it.

I'm the same. I've been with a few shoe queens. I wasn't impressed. Made s big deal about shoes, closets and credit debt. For all the adorning of their feet, they weren't the best dancers, and didn't tend to age very fit - which makes sense if standing and walking is painful.

High heels make a woman arch her back. The arched back is a kind of universal signal in mammals of sexual availability.
But the way, men invented high heels for use in calvary. Men originally wore high heels, exclusively. Prostitutes in Italy adopted the practice, as appearing masculine was the fad at the time. And women realized it was a way to get a man's attention. The rest is fashion history.
High heels literally make women look sexier, in a profound way. And women adopted them voluntarily.

I dislike them. Their original practical functions have been obsolete for a century or three and they physically damage ligaments and such when worn over long periods of time.
I personally find impracticality unattractive, from their cost, to their durability, to their reduction in walking speed. I also prefer shorter women, so the height increase is irrelevant.
I understand some women wear them for their own enjoyment/aesthetic preferences, which I have no opinion on. I do wonder if they'd have those preferences without conditioning by society.

u/umlaute Dec 01 '22
As a guy of average height, I don't understand them.
I've been rejected over high heels more than I can count. As in "I like wearing heels, so the guy had to be my height + my highest heels + some tall.
So limiting your dating pool over shoes seems super weird to me.
Secondly, I hear so many women complain about how they're uncomfortable if the discussion is about what women do to look attractive. And then have so many women refuse to say that they're in any way uncomfortable or a hindrance if men suggest just not wearing them.
For me personally....they're shoes. I really couldn't care less about them. But the obsession people have over them is weird to me.

My wife and I get dressed up a fair amount for different reasons. High heels always look nice. That being said they should match the outfit to some degree (colour contrasts, style, height, etc).
Similarly dress shoes for men.
Lastly if you do decide to wear high heels please wear them for the entire evening/night and don't be taking them off walking around barefoot holding them in your hand, that's trashy.
My two cents.
