    Whaddaya mean "Men only wear shoes"?
    We wear plenty of types, as well.  Just taking a walk downtown, I see men wearing the following styles from your pic:




    Okay - "rain" and "knee" boots, I have to go to the dock area to see. This post was edited by Walt O'Reagun at September 28, 2022 8:13 AM MDT

    I would not say: "Hey...look at my new loafers." Actually, I wouldn't say anything about them at all. They're just shoes.

    I go into a shoe store ... and I ask for a specific type of shoe.
    "I need to see your sneakers."
    "I need to check our some boots."

    Otherwise, the salesperson has no idea what I'm looking for.

    That's why I go to Walmart. Self-serve.

  • HAH!  You obviously haven't peered into MY shoe closet.  I have all types of styles and colors.  Of course I'm not exactly the standard am I?  I have far too much fabulousness to settle for a very limited amount of choices in foot apparel.  I think the problem might be that you just aren't shopping at the right places E99.  I have a great idea...why don't I take you along with me next time I do some shoe shopping.  I promise you its an experience you'll never forget, no matter how hard you try.

    I think men wear a LOT of different kinds of shoes.  Probably as many kinds as women have.

    It's partly a function of the fashion industry, partly a culture which expects us to dress appropriately for each occasion, and partly affluence.
    Consider someone in the third world: it's likely they may have no shoes or only a very few pairs, probably second hand and many times resoled and mended.

    I'm sure most Westernised men wear more than just shoes. They'll probably have slides, bedroom slippers, boots for hiking or work, formal shoes, casual shoes, sports shoes, and gumboots or equivalent for wet days.

    Queens and trannies will probably have a huge range.

    Some women have only their orthotics; nothing else would work.

    I have only three pairs - sneakers, boots (elastic sided and shined, I can and have worn them on formal occasions) and thongs (flip flops to you Americans and Brits). This post was edited by Slartibartfast at October 1, 2022 12:58 AM MDT
