Loafers
My main reason for wearing a skirt is comfort. I'm not interested in fashion so I stay in the masculine corner with the skirts. With the denim and twill fabrics and the A-line models I think that is reasonably in line with my reason. But now and then I like to push the envelope just slightly. The wife tolerates my skirts but when I wear something shorter than usual, she makes a remark. So I don't want to go too much in the girly direction. With my lack of fashion feeling, it is difficult to see what is still masculine or what is too feminine.
I did some experiments with dresses and heels but I did not feel comfortable at all to wear this in public.I also don't want to upset my wife. But recently I ordered some women loafers with a 2" heel. They are comfortable but to my feeling they are just a little over the edge. It might take some time to walk around in them.

Re: Loafers
The loafers look nice are these the ladies loafers with the 2 inch heel
Re: Loafers
To me those heels are pretty plain. I hardly ever go out in less than 3" heels anymore.beachlion wrote:...I did some experiments with dresses and heels but I did not feel comfortable at all to wear this in public.I also don't want to upset my wife.

But I started out with 2" heels as well so go ahead and get used to them.
And remember, you were once afraid to go out in a skirt, too.
Courage, conviction, nerve, verve, dash, panache, guts, nuts, balls, gall, élan, stones, whatever. Get some and get skirted.

Re: Loafers
I think style wise the shoes are a good match for the outfit

If you mean ballet flats, I think those are too feminine to my taste.Jim wrote:...... Are the 2" heels more comfortable than flats?
Today I went to the beach and had to go to two gas stations. In the car I had put the loafers on and walked around in the gas stations. And they are comfortable.
If I can find ballet flats in the same style as loafers, I will give it a try.

I have to admit: yes.Caultron wrote:..... Isn't that what makes them fun?
But it feels like I'm leaving my main reason for wearing skirts: comfort. I also told my wife and her friends the same story: comfort. It feels like I'm at a fork in the road. One direction is a strict male image and the other is with more feminine influences. I have no idea in which direction my compass will point in the near future.

Re: Loafers
Heels needn't be uncomfortable, but fit is much more critical than with flats. Try some on and if they hurt, try another.beachlion wrote:..I t feels like I'm leaving my main reason for wearing skirts: comfort...
Of if you mean emotional comfort, well, you've been through that once already with skirts...
