    Default Men Verses Women In High Heels

    i have often wondered if men can easily walk in high heels as a woman. one thing i am puzzled about is exactly what is high: i say its anything 4 inches and above. i am interested in setting a challenge to any women or other men who may be interested in challenging a woman or women in walking around in high heels for a whole day from 9am to 6pm just to see who last the longest or moans the least. maybe we can just keep on walking until we drop but i reacon just walking around shops as a group would be a more realistic target. i have posted a picture showing different size heels and platforms from 4'' heel to 7.5'' heel. i feel that i could do it in all of them with the exception of maybe 2 pairs (numbers 3 & 6). so come on everybody who is interested in having a little shopping trip in swansea. the pavements are a mix of all sorts of surfaces including a few holes. if there is a particular pair of heels you would like me to wear then im a size 10. bring down a pair of them each and we will see what happens. there is one basic rule. each pair of man and woman wears the same heels. let me know if you are interested in this challenge. also fill in the poll if you want to and what heel height to want to challenge the opposite sex to walk in. dont forget to say if male or female as well

    I think the real challenge is to find a woman willing to wear heels that long. I think it would be fun . Also we would have to find a way for it to be her idea....LOL!

    i think just asking the woman outright if she is up for it. i wonder what she would say if she lost the challenge? she is bound to have some poor excuselike ''i wear these heels day in day out all the time'' that is simple to solve. tell her she is only allowed to wear flats for a week befor the challenge

    the idea of the poll having 3 choices is that you pick the size you want to do the challenge in. then your sex. then if you would prefer to wear stockings or not. take me for example. i would do the challenge in 6 inch heels. im male and i prefer no tights or stockings. at the end of the poll 3 times more votes than voters EG: if 100 people voted then there would be 300 votes in total

    This is an odd challenge, for a couple of reasons. It is not just the height of the heel, but the heel to toe ratio. I can walk all day long in platforms where the heel only feels like 2 inches because the front platform is, say 5 inches and the heel is 7 inches.

    The other thing is the fit of the shoe. If I wear a pair of Steven Maddens all day long, I am crippled the next couple of days. If I wear a pair of Cole Haans with similar heel height and similar wear, I am ok the next day. It is not the heel height, but really the fit of the shoe. Those shoes, if they are Pleasers, would burn a blister in my foot before I could get warmed up because of the shoe manufacturer.

    I think your observation that women will wear a pair of shoes for a day and complain about their feet hurting, while you were able to walk in platforms and not feel the burn, is a bit unfair. Many times the issue is not a day, or a pair of shoes, but more about a professional lifetime of shoes that fit bad, or may have been too high, creating a myriad of problems with feet.

    I know this is a light hearted challenge, and I don't want to make it a "Girls are always right" issue, or make it a serious deal, because I know it is not. I just had to give my 2 cents worth. Good luck with the challenge.

    the idea of a woman challenging a man is that they both wear an identical footwear be it sandals, shoes or boots with or without platforms and a particular heel type. for instance if the woman choose to challenge me or any other man wearing for example a pair of PLEASER SEDUCE 420 shoes then the man will also have to wear the same. the same goes for wearing stockings or tights. if the woman want to go barefoot then the man should also be barefoot. this makes it totally fair to both
