Ran across this designer in Italy that is making a range of flats and MJs specifically marketed to men. I actually like the cut of some of the shoes. I'm thinking this is just getting started as they don't have any sizes up for sale yet. Even their motto says it all: "Made in Italy for the open...

By definition influencers are narcissists. If you throw it out there and rub it in other peoples' faces, you are a narcissist. If you are just trying to live your life and have a different style of dress, then probably not so much a narcissist. As others have said, we are all narcissists just a litt...

They are also making a cool mary-jane style as well, but very limited sizing.

I could gladly do away with the term "Mary Janes" as it is too pointedly gender-specific. How many men and boys are willing to wear a style of footwear commonly known as "Mary Jane?" (Don't all raise your hands at once!) Better they should be called "bar shoes," "...

It looks like this year will see a return of ballet flats and Mary Janes for men on the fashion runways. Dior has put nearly their entire lineup in ballet flats or Mary Janes. Relative to many other designers, the clothes are even relatively normal. https://footwearnews.com/gallery/dior-photos-fall-...

We need to femme up our looks, not masculinize women's shoes like ballet flats. I frankly don't care if my look is "femmed up" or not. I wear ballet flats because they are comfortable. Some are feminine (Tieks) and some are less so (Softstar). Both are very comfortable and a key part of m...

Good to see the movement getting some attention this year.

My list is fairly short...
- Wear nylons (mainly in winter)
- Wear leggings/yoga pants casually and for workouts
- Usually wearing women's jeans or shorts
- Wear Tieks ballet flats ALL the time!

Of course it is a double standard. Heels used to be worn by men, but were appropriated. Ballet flats (then called pompes or court shoes) were worn by men and have been appropriated.

I love wearing skirts and shorts with tights/nylons and ballet flats, and have done so in public in the past on occasion. I wish I could wear more often though.

I'm just wondering how many on this forum wear ballet flats and how often? I am in a group on Facebook for Tieks (one of my favorite flats) and there are probably 20 or so other guys. A few are TG or CD, but most are regular blokes wearing fun shoes!

I believe the Army now has rules that allow Sikhs to wear a beard (and wear a turban with long hair).

I have become a huge fan of ballet flats. They don't work very well with my suits for work, but I pretty much wear them all the time otherwise.

I wear ballet flats as often as I can. I also wear women's Keds.
