What Makes a Man Wear Women's Flats?

It makes me think of penny loafers!

v

I like the color of the first pair but prefer a sole like the 2nd one. I wish it were accepted for men to wear flats. I know it will never happen in my lifetime though.

flat number two would be a shoe that i would wear

I love shoes that are patented and not having decorations from the sides.

I all so love ballet flat they are comfortable shoes and light on the feet

Hello,

I love to wear flats as well, can you recomend me some shoes which i can wear on male attire and never get recognized i am wearing women shoes ?

Love the look of the second one.I don't like the black or the first one.

I don't, personally, care for the "flats". I would rather a pair of strappy sandals.
I like to show off my toes, so I go for the "summer shoes". Anything comfortable, and open is good, since my cva has caused me so much foot trouble.

Probably No. 2. Not big on quilting, tho, and I prefer pointed-toe ballet flats. I wear them all the time. I do have one pair of Tory Burch Revas. Like Kate Spade, too.

What a unique page!

anonymous, Matt, John, Leon, Vinsy, Jeff, Bob, David, Gary, Great to hear from you all, I feel men can wear women's flats now, wear them and act yourself.

Neither. I don't wear "women's" ballet flats. I wear ballet slippers, the real ones like the dancers wear. "The essence of the ballet flat has existed since at least the 16th century, when men wore a similar shoe, then known as pompes. In medieval times ballet flats were popular with both men and women." So I resent ballet flats or ballet slippers being called women's shoes.
Even as a child I thought ballet slippers looked very cool on males. Look at the men who wore them: Jack LaLanne, The Riddler from Batman, Rock bands like The Undead from phantom of the paradise, Freddy Mercury, and many others.
I think it great that, if they want, for a men to wear ballet flats but don't limit Me to Tory Burch flat - I wear ballet slippers.
(I did pick one as I was unable to post if I didn't and I wanted to state My case.)

I prefer #1 over #2, but I prefer a more structured shoe. I own over 75 pairs of ballet flats and about 60 pairs of 4-5 inch high heels. I wear the flats all the time at home and my wife doesn't mind. She gets freaked out when I wear the heels, though. I can wear 5" heels better than my wife can wear 3" - I think she's jealous. Christian Louboutin is my favorite (34 pairs) -also have Valentino, Jimmy Choo, Giuseppe Zanotti, etc. I don't care for Tory Burch styles. Never wear them in public though --- not enough nerve. I wish I could, but don't think I ever will.

I'd say #1, but they are not my favourite kind of flats on women and that similarly goes to a man. This said I'd say introduce this man into Visual kei, it would open a can of possibilities to him :). As currently the rest of his look (not all but most of them, especially the face) is too "square" to match the flats. My view, is that us guys should propose a more expressive and highlighting style, which better or differently highlights our body, depending on our taste. This of course includes grooming more than average, but with or without beard, as for example goths often wear a beard along with makeup, a beard which often looks part of the makeup, as it's defined. And that's an example of a richer style.
Why, afterall, most of what men wear has become "casual", with an equivalent femae version? Because even typicall male clothes are taylored to the female body. The other reason is that it's considered more plain, but part of it is also mysogyny, a woman with a "masculine" look, might be perceived as aquiring more power and the inverse for a man, a more creative and flamboyant look as less reliable, more quirky and lunatic, which is how the women have been and still are, in some circles, perceived for long time. Of course the "crossdressing" woman, although more frequent and accepted suffer a different and inverse type of backlash.
Also, becaues of projection, it might be perceived like a fetish, especially in this case, as he specifically wears flats, but I think that's ingenerous.

Ballet flats are actually the best for my personal combat training. I get mine at Wal-Mart usually

I love ballet flats . My favorite is travel foldable ballet flats. I wear silver,black,red and white. Guys try the silky toes side kicks and backup soles. They are inexpensive and very comfortable. Comes with a pouch to carry them in.

I think the reason is cause women have way better shoes. You don't even have to wear socks. The top of your feet will fell nice and you don't have to go through wearing socks. If you wear socks in tennis shoes they will smell. In fact most flats don't have a cloth sole. Thus they are easy to clean and don't smell. However shoes like tom's will smell
