What are you playing at ASOS?

I welcome this, I’d like ALL men wearing boots like these ALL the time.

I think those thinnest of stiletto heels look absolutely ridiculous, they'll be broken in 5 minutes by a bloke IMO. I think heels are really dated now but if men are desperate to be incredibly uncomfortable and ruin their feet let them crack on I say.

Seems fine to me, if men want to wear heels then crack on

ASOS is hardly a generic high street store. It loads hundreds of new products on every day. Some of those products are 'normal' (ugh), some of them are not.

Besides, men in heels are not necessarily cross dressing. Believe it or not, some men just really like fashion and putting together different looks and styles. Why should they have to go to some overly expensive specialist website to do so?

Also it would have taken you about five seconds to look at other shoes on the site and see that they rarely, if ever, include the model's head in these shots.

I don't have a problem with it if men want to wear them, I'm not sure why that would offend anyone else.

Male or female. Wear what ever you like but honestly that is not an attractive look IMO

I think being perfectly honest, OP is getting a bit of a tough time here...
There's something (to me) very odd/off putting about this being on a retailer website that is presented as largely normal.
Cross dressing ranges which this is clearly geared towards , even if it's within the men's section is not what you'd expect to find in generic high street stores generally I don't think? The same applies here.

My preference would be to not give finance to companies encouraging this, if this is your bag there's other places to go. And honestly chopping the poor fellas head off in all pictures shows just how far ASOS extend in their bandwagon-jumpingbravery.

Also, having a daughter who's size 4 at 8yrs old I emphatically approve of any brand that brings out bigger sizes in feminine styles.

I've learned to embrace Skechers and mens trainers but she's showing signs of being more Imelda Marcos in her style choices so I have a feeling shoes will be very expensive when she is allowed to wear heels.

As a big footed woman I have bought many pairs of mens shoes, sometimes need to size down by 1 size as mens tend to be a little wider depending on style but I've never been able to fit my size 9s into a mens size 6.5.

I often buy men’s running shoes as they fit my wide feet better and don’t come with the ‘pink premium’ price tag. It’s more like half a size difference.

I'm a UK size 9 so I appreciate such shoes being in larger sizes. Even more so if they aren't also wide fitting as I have narrow feet.

I wear a size 8. My friend's daughter was a size 11 by the age of 15. It's annoying spending half your life looking for shoes that fit and are nice. I wasn't aware that shoes sizes came in men's and women's - more than manufacturers wanted to try to make us conform to stereotypes of what we should or shouldn't be sized like.

Good advice for the AGPs

Agree ^

I thought this too

yup i am also pleased to find this out!

Men can wear heels if they like. Doesn't make them women, but clothes are clothes, heels aren't reserved for women in the same way that trousers aren't reserved for men.

Do you have an issue with Slade and Glam Rock too or just ASOS?

I wonder how a grown man would get on with pointy shoes like that?

By the time I was his age I’d have a few years practice in heels and points. His feet will be killing him and he will most likely walk like a gorilla (again, no practice).

oh well, to each his/hee own…

This is ok surely? I’m all for them putting typically masculine men in heels. Although I don’t think many men would get far on those thin heels this is ok - www.asos.com/asos-design/asos-design-heeled-boots-in-black-faux-leather-with-gold-chain-detail/prd/202686960?ctaref=we+recommend+grid_3&featureref1=we+recommend+pers

That's true for US shoe sizing, but UK shoe sizing is the same for both sexes.

Although you do get the occasional brand of eg. hiking boots which will try to fit common female foot shapes, rather than just using a basic men's foot and scaling it down.

Men's sizes is the correct term as Size 8 in Women's shoe sizing does not equal Size 8 in Men's shoe sizing. I think Size 8 women's is equivalent to Size 6.5 in men's?

I was put off of buying Van's online (without trying them on) as it didn't seem clear what gender the sizing was in.

Are you going to come back and tell us what you think the problem is, or are you trying to troll, in which case it’s completely backfired on you.

'Men's sizes' is relevant. Shoes designed for men have a different shape than the equivalent size designed for women. Wider heel and toe, and greater depth all round.

Mem need to know that type of heel is a BASTARD to walk in.
But good luck to em.

This is good surely? If people were more comfortable just wearing what they wanted then they might not feel the need to change gender
