# Male Stilettos Men in High Heels By lourdes sanchez bayas | Published 2008-10-20 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stilettos-for-guys-men-in-high-heels References: [highheelspassion.blogspot](http://highheelspassion.blogspot.com/) Yes, the gallery really does show men in high heeled shoes. I really don’t know if this is some sort of “metro sexual man” kind of thing, or whether it has to do with an isolated attempt by members of the LGBT community to incorporate high heeled shoes into the fashion repertoire of the gay community. Don’t get me wrong; I’m not opposed to the idea. After all, my lifelong dream has been to see men trying to walk in 6” stilettos and falling flat on their faces. So I really hope the fad catches on. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.8/10 - Popularity: 99% | Activity: 98% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/shoes) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Gender-bending Fashion:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in creating inclusive fashion designs that break gender stereotypes. - **Gender-neutral Footwear:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in designing footwear that can be worn by all genders. - **Male Body Positivity:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in promoting body positivity for men, regardless of their fashion choices. ### Where This Applies - **Fashion Industry:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in creating inclusive fashion designs that cater to all genders and body types. - **LGBTQ+ Community:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in promoting gender inclusivity and breaking down gender stereotypes in fashion. - **Retail Industry:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in marketing and selling unconventional fashion items that challenge traditional gender norms. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Luxury Men's Footwear Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/luxury-mens-footwear.md) - [Platform Statement Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/8inch-flipflops.md) - [Pool Slide Heeled Sandals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flipped-flop.md) - [Chic Stiletto-Inspired Cookies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/biscuiteers-and-manolo-blahnik.md) - [Stiletto Shoulder Bags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stiletto-bag.md) - [Comfort-Forward High Heels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vida-collection.md) - [Men's Temporary Nails](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/temporary-nails-for-men.md) - [Dynamic Ultra-High Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/platform-sneaker-1.md) - [Eye-Adorned Furry Mules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eyeball-mules.md)
