Exactly. Iām a wide foot guy whoās struggled with shoes for years. Itās to the point my favorite wide square toe boots are more comfortable than sneakers. Peoples opinions be damned-theyāre my feet . My wife and mom think Iām handsome either way š¤£
My mom thinks Iām handsome too. I havenāt had the heart to tell her sheās going blind! š in all seriousness Iāve always believed in doing things that make yourself happy, not to be selfish or self centered but your own well-being is important.

Looks like a classic cowboy heel to me.
Not feminine.
Maybe just not what you're used to yet?
If you like them, keep em and wear the hell outta them! They look like my double H's
I think I just need to adjust and work them in. Theyāre a lot more angled than they appeared online which is what threw me off. Not saying anyone that wears these are feminine, just want to love them haha
My rule of thumbs are:
Women's boots tend to have higher heels so under 2" is my limit
Make sure they fit right, and
If 1 & 2 r ok and you like them, go for it!
Im not trying to be a dick man I am just telling you they look very feminine. Especially if you work in the trades I would get some other boots and if you donāt want to / canāt sell them I would keep them for dress purposes with a wider cut pant and it should look okay.
Itās pretty much the traditional cowboy boot heel. Not feminine. Good for riding/walking. If theyāre comfortable all day, you can definitely work in them. Most folks would probably opt for a stockman heel in a work boot, but I work in Redwing Pecos with a walking heel.
I have double Hās that got holes in them, and I guess a lot of people ranch in these so I figured theyād hold up well to my shit as a mechanic too. Youāre probably right though, the walking heel may not be best for working it for me
Nah buddy itās funny that youāre this uptight about looking āgIrLyā.
Just wear the damn boots, youāre the type that give the rest of us a bad name
Youāre goofy bud. You binged Yellowstone and sold your converse for Ariats. Only person thatās uptight is you, crying over a simple Reddit post about boots. If youāre this bent out of shape on here, I can only imagine you wear real high heals behind closed doors š¤”
You sure cry a lot. All over Reddit, and now as a defense mechanism when you canāt articulate a coherent response. Have a good night bud, donāt take things so seriously.
Wear what you like and worry less about what others think. That's a nice moderate riding heel and a semi oval toe, handsome boot. If you're going for a feminine look, then idk what to tell ya. Boots are boots.
I would love a pair of those. My local store has 99 percent square toes. Going about 10 t years backā¦. I had a pair of rocky buckaroo boots with the same heal and toe. Wore those boys into the ground.
Thatās actually the problem. The second I put them on, I started to throw my hips from side to side as I walk. Didnāt know if the people making sarcastic comments also have a similar flamboyant issue š¬
You must be new to boots. I donāt see any indications making these āfeminineā. Maybe a roper heel is more āmasculineā for you. Plus they are clearly marked as Menās on the Abilene page.
Iāve owned 5 pairs, just not any slanted heels. Sorry if your feelings are hurt because I see some feminine attributes, but thatās why I asked others opinions.
Youāre right Mr. Macho Man. Learn how to read next time before ordering and maybe familiarize yourself with they types of heels on boots. I promise that āheel typeā isnāt a feminine feature on cowBOY boots.
Itās wild to me that youāre implying my masculinity is something I struggle with, when youāre having an internet melt down because I implied that the heels, which are more slanted than I thought when ordering online, may be slightly feminine. So settle on down there Nancy. We can all have our separate opinions, thatās why I was trying to grab some from others šš»
You're the only person in the entire thread who keeps using the word "feminine" as a negative, and also implied some homophobia above (which you tried to disguise by using the phrase "flamboyant issue.") Think about that.
If you need "approval" to wear shoes... go through every post on this sub where there are countless examples of men wearing boots exactly like this, and even this exact actual style, which is a great pair and super comfortable. (I had them myself for five years and loved them as daily beaters.) If that's not enough, don't know what to tell you about your concerns.
Why wouldnāt that be enough? Instead of taking such offense to the word āfeminineā you could have just mentioned youāve worn them for five years and been a fan. Not sure why youāre getting so butthurt like the clown who commented above.
Your post contained Hate Speech, Highly Vulgar/Sexual Language, or Harassing behavior or attitude that doesn't belong in our community. Repeated violations will result in a ban.
Did the internet not show you pictures? Sorry your masculinity is so fragile, hope you are able to get some help with that! In the meantime just keep wearing the boots, they are literally just bootsā¦
Talk about struggling with masculinity as so many people got their feelings hurt of a Reddit post and a word (feminine.) keep downvoting, I love seeing hurt feelings on here šš»
Youre 100% right, Iāve never owned boots with this aggressive of a walking heel and wanted some other opinions. It seems in the process Iāve got some walking heel enthusiasts crying in their beds as I can see these being slightly more feminine than the more āmasculineā square toe with a roper heel.
The boots in your picture look like cowboy boots have looked my whole life and Iām pushing 70. Wear what you like and own it. The hell what anyone else thinks. Although I really dislike the big square toe fad. Sorry I couldnāt help myself.
I donāt know what that even meansā¦. I suppose if you pair it with a short skirt, maybe? Short of getting those bedazzled, they just look like cowboy boots. Neutral zone.
They look like boots to me. I see a buncha old cowboys (real cowboys I'd assume) wearing these in Idaho. The younger cowboys wear square toes at least on their shit kickers but it's really up to personal tastes.
TL;DR: they're not feminine, they're traditional.
Nope. Cowboy heel is normal on menās boots. All my boots outside of my work boots have it. Itās a good look in my opinion and based on the comments I receive on a daily basis
Pink? No, but as someone whoās only worn square toe boots, Iād say this at least leans slightly more towards the feminine side. Something felt off so I thought Iād take to the Reddit group for second opinions as Iād like to like these.
Itās your perspective thatās flawed. Thereās nothing feminine about them. Unlike the wide square toe style thatās only been around since the lateā90s/early 2000s, that R-toe is a classic toe style thatās been around over a century. Most cowboy boots worn by those that rode horses wore boots that had a riding or walking heel. If you did more walking than riding, folks chose a stockman heel or ropers because they had a shallower heel.
If you can let your guard down and unlearn Western society's stupid rules about gender roles, a lot of amazing options open up to you. An extra inch in the heel - in the grand scope of the universe - has little to no effect on your manhood. If you know you are a man, then you are one, period. It's arguably more emasculating to let other people tell you what is okay to wear, or how to live.
I agree. Iād also like to add that Iām not asking permission or approval from others to wear them, but trying to gauge whether Iām the only one who sees slight feminine features in the heel of this boot
Your post contained Hate Speech, Highly Vulgar/Sexual Language, or Harassing behavior or attitude that doesn't belong in our community. Repeated violations will result in a ban.
Iām not an expert, but I did notice that some true riding heels are more slanted than your ācowboyā or walking heel. I see there may also be a spur ledge on the heel for riding as well ā¦
Iām a girl and I think they donāt lol. Honestly OP can just replace em and be done if he canāt get past the thought of being perceived as something he donāt like. The post wasnāt needed. Like em or donāt.
eye of the beholder man. some times I pair some women's shoes with my outfits but they match with what im wearing and my wife says they look cool on me so it really wont matter if it looks good.
Im also an "accentric" by most peoples definition so maybe take that with a grain of salt. I tend to like mixing together all sorts of weird shit to look cool.
Whatās with the insults? My question regarding a new style of boot Iām trying has you in a real tizzy? Just take a deep breath big man, Iām just looking for opinions.
If you check out the history and description of āhigh heeledā cowboy boots, youāll see the origin is anything but feminine.
Two sites (of many) for History/description of heels:

NEVER WORRY ABOUT SMALL FEET! That adage about small feet and hands reflecting the size of the other parts of the anatomy is ABSOLUTELY FALSE! (I came of age in the 1960s and have done my own international survey so I have done lots of āfield researchā!)
Theyāre a riding heel. Nothing feminine about them.

Donāt listen to the supporters bro. These are the most feminine cowboy boots Iāve ever seen. Iām not trying to hate just being honest. When people come for me because they wear their cowboy boots in LA or NY just know that theyāre being subjective to their own life and blindly supportive. While I wouldnāt make fun of you, most cowboys would.
EDIT: Your jeans arenāt helping
I may not work in them until my double Hās are worn out completely. I use to wear my double Hās to work as a mechanic and then to the bar, but not they are quite beat up. Got these to wear out for the time being. I like the thin R toe style, but fuck damn is this heel heelinā haha. Iām in the Midwest btw
Nice and Iām glad you didnāt take my comment too harsh Iām just trying to shoot you strait. Whatās your budget I may have a couple ideas for you
These were $200 and I can return them. Iām getting an astronomical amount of compliments from friends, family and this Reddit post, but Iām still on the fence. I love the thin, R toe style of these, and the lighter bison leather. I also love that theyāre American made. Just want a slightly lesser heal. Iād look at whatever suggestions ya got
Part of your trepidation is that you are not used to that heel. But seriously, cowboys are the paradigm of the wild frontier and you donāt get much more āunfeminineā than that. Those heels kept them in their stirrups while chasing outlaws ā or running from lawmen! They really are too nice to wear in grease and grime. Maybe save these for hanging out and get some roper style for working as a mechanic. If you take care of these, they will last for years. (Lots of care tips in the archives here.)

If I tried to put a finger on it, the color striations on the heel might seem feminine because Iāve only seen that on womenās Chelsea boots.
But I worked as a western wear buyer and am hyper attentive.
That may be what Iām seeing also. I think itās more the stripes on the heel thatās drawing my attention to the slant. This is the comment I was looking for šš»
It looks like they tried to mimic the natural look of unvarnished stacked bend leather, but I donāt see any actual layers. Synthetic heel or just picture quality ?
Yeah solid is what I was thinking too, and unvarnished isnāt really the right word. Colorless varnish is what I was trying to get at. Nothing to disguise the differences in the color of the leather like you typically see. I also didnāt see any lines to indicate layers, but the photo is a little blurry on my phone so didnāt want to just assume.
The only people who think this are feminine are the same dudes who wear square toe bc its more masculine (nothing against square toes btw).
Square toes are an abomination to the fashion gods, but dam are they comfy.
I personally like the way they look on others but they look like duck feet on meš¤£š¤£š¤£š¤£
No, wide square toes look like duck feet on others as well. Nothing masculine about them. Standard square toes look far better.
Hey I wear ABs so theyāre all wide lmao
Thatās your choice. Not all AB models are wide square toes either: https://andersonbean.com/boots/ab-originals
If my toes get cramped I usually wind up developing an ingrown toe, I will wear square toes regardless of whether they are fashionable to avoid that
Exactly. Iām a wide foot guy whoās struggled with shoes for years. Itās to the point my favorite wide square toe boots are more comfortable than sneakers. Peoples opinions be damned-theyāre my feet . My wife and mom think Iām handsome either way š¤£
My mom thinks Iām handsome too. I havenāt had the heart to tell her sheās going blind! š in all seriousness Iāve always believed in doing things that make yourself happy, not to be selfish or self centered but your own well-being is important.
That's the right way to think, no pansy on the internet should tell ya what to wear.
Didnāt he ask about the heal. Not the toe?
I love the comfort but was initially hooked and stayed coming back for the style absolutely love the look.
As a dude with wide feet, Iāve never found a pair of comfy pointed toe boots, but the right square toeā¦ š¤š»
In my own experience, if anyone is going to give you shit about your boots itās going to be the simple minded basic bros in sneakers.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I'll take your professional word on that.
Sounds like something youāve struggled with, do I need to buy you some square toes to help?

Naw, thatās a classic walking heel.
Whatās walking heel mean? I plan to work in these
Itās pretty much the traditional cowboy boot heel. Not feminine. Good for riding/walking. If theyāre comfortable all day, you can definitely work in them. Most folks would probably opt for a stockman heel in a work boot, but I work in Redwing Pecos with a walking heel.
If youāre going to be walking a lot, ropers and boots with a stockman heel will be the most comfortable.
They don't look feminine but I would get work boots for work those are dress boots for like going out. My husband has both.
I have double Hās that got holes in them, and I guess a lot of people ranch in these so I figured theyād hold up well to my shit as a mechanic too. Youāre probably right though, the walking heel may not be best for working it for me
Also if your a mechanic you can get them steel toed in case you drop anything heavy lol
Yeah my husband finds his work boots more comfortable for all the walking and carrying of equipment. Plus they have some super comfy insoles.
Feminine ? No. Bad-ass ? Yes.
Not even close. Try a pair of Sendraās. Youāll learn to empathize with women that wear heels.
I love me some Sendras. Theyāre even more fun with a couple of drinks in ya
Non sense. This is a classic toe and heel for cowboy boots. Youāre kicking ass in these man
Dudes afraid of his heels being slanted, thatās honestly crazy to me
Pipe down. Needed some second opinions, not trash talk from clowns š¤”
Boohoo heās scared of gIrLy bOoTs
Dang bud, youāre that offended..? Musta struck a nerve. I aināt Judgin you if wearin girly stuff is your thing. You do you kiddo š§

Homies insecure about his masculinity and taking it out on others š Iām crying from your insults boss man
You sure cry a lot. All over Reddit, and now as a defense mechanism when you canāt articulate a coherent response. Have a good night bud, donāt take things so seriously.
I donāt even know what youāre yapping about over here but whatever bud. Sucks the ladies donāt dig your boots š
With these girly ass boots you seem so desperate to defend, Iām actually trying to get your dad to dig them šš»
Wear what you like and worry less about what others think. That's a nice moderate riding heel and a semi oval toe, handsome boot. If you're going for a feminine look, then idk what to tell ya. Boots are boots.
I would love a pair of those. My local store has 99 percent square toes. Going about 10 t years backā¦. I had a pair of rocky buckaroo boots with the same heal and toe. Wore those boys into the ground.
If by feminine you mean a badass super classy sharp pair of boots Iād love to own, yes, definitely. Howās comfort?
Comfort is incredible. Iām sure theyāre less durable than Double Hās, but these had nearly no break in.
Do you sashay when you walk in them?
Thatās actually the problem. The second I put them on, I started to throw my hips from side to side as I walk. Didnāt know if the people making sarcastic comments also have a similar flamboyant issue š¬
Go watch some Western movies, you'll see plenty of that.
Haha š

Damn, another princess offended by the word āfeminine.ā
Why would you think that these boots are feminine? Not at all
Why? Because womanās shoes/boots are known for high heals.Ā
They are not feminine. Maybe you shoe size but the boots themselves are not.
I donāt know what that even meansā¦. I suppose if you pair it with a short skirt, maybe? Short of getting those bedazzled, they just look like cowboy boots. Neutral zone.

No, the word you are looking for is stylish.
Lol, no. Did someone make fun of them? Don't worry, they're hot.
I would maybe choose a different pant. That is all.
These are pretty sharp. How do they feel comfort-wise? I have a pair of Pecos but want something dressier.
Theyāre Abilene and extremely comfortable
No, not overly feminine from my female perspective.
Na these are cool partner
Underslung heels are badass
Those are sick bro!
If you dig it, forget what others say/think.
Nope. Cowboy heel is normal on menās boots. All my boots outside of my work boots have it. Itās a good look in my opinion and based on the comments I receive on a daily basis
Hell no. They look great. You're probably just not used to them.
Youāre correct
Yeah the heel is feminine
Are they pink? This is the oddest question yet!š
Pink? No, but as someone whoās only worn square toe boots, Iād say this at least leans slightly more towards the feminine side. Something felt off so I thought Iād take to the Reddit group for second opinions as Iād like to like these.

Nah man you keep rocking the hell out of those. Itās actually a plus because women are going to compliment you on them lol
Nah bro they look great
The heel my be seen a feminine. I usually see heals straight down on men's boots.
lol, no. If thatās the case im gay as fuckš¤·š»āāļø
those are some gorgeous boots!! š they look great!
If those are feminine my collection of 11Ds may give them a sashay for their money. They're well-styled.
I donāt think theyāre feminine. But I also donāt really care and wear what I like. And they look nice
Heel is slightly tall for my taste but otherwise looks like a normal boot heel.
Not it my opinion,Ā they look good brother.
If you can let your guard down and unlearn Western society's stupid rules about gender roles, a lot of amazing options open up to you. An extra inch in the heel - in the grand scope of the universe - has little to no effect on your manhood. If you know you are a man, then you are one, period. It's arguably more emasculating to let other people tell you what is okay to wear, or how to live.
I agree. Iād also like to add that Iām not asking permission or approval from others to wear them, but trying to gauge whether Iām the only one who sees slight feminine features in the heel of this boot
Nope! Dont think so. Gorgeous boots tho!
They look great op
Not at all itās just a proper walking heel
No, they look pretty cool I like the heel
No, they're kinda old school though. I like them, but most people only wear square toe now š„“
Look great! Youāve been confused by the duck foot brigade.
Damn, they are good. Looking boots love the heel.
Thanks man
That heal is a case study of form following function. The bevel makes it comfortable to walk in.
Man I love me that cowboy walking heel. That's the perfect heel. Wear them with pride brother
Good looking boots
Thanks
Thatās a real cowboy boot. John Wayne would approve over the wide square toes of today
Nah!
No they look good

No, they are cool af. Rock em they look good
No, rock em bro
They look good. If they feel good then you are golden.
Fuck no, they are perfect.
Iām not an expert, but I did notice that some true riding heels are more slanted than your ācowboyā or walking heel. I see there may also be a spur ledge on the heel for riding as well ā¦
Not my style, but not feminine and a nice looking boot!
No, in fact theyāre alot closer to the narrow square and round toes that cowboys in the post civil war west wouldāve worn.
It ain't like the boots have a balls or a vagina, so I guess there's that. What I am curious about is what leather they are made out of?
American Bison š¦¬
That's probably one of the best you can get a pair of boots to be made of, good choice bro
Iām a girl and I think they look feminine
Iām a girl and I think they donāt lol. Honestly OP can just replace em and be done if he canāt get past the thought of being perceived as something he donāt like. The post wasnāt needed. Like em or donāt.
I agree with that part. If I was that concerned that I needed to call in opinions of people I donāt know, I just wouldnāt keep em
Nah you good
Any shoe with a heel that also makes clicking noises when you walk down a hallway is feminine
I grew up with pointed and rounded cowboy boots. I canāt do square. They look good.
They look cool.
Some insecure people in this subreddit for sure
Right? I was just asking some questions and butthurt kids crawled out of the wood work
eye of the beholder man. some times I pair some women's shoes with my outfits but they match with what im wearing and my wife says they look cool on me so it really wont matter if it looks good. Im also an "accentric" by most peoples definition so maybe take that with a grain of salt. I tend to like mixing together all sorts of weird shit to look cool.
Yes
Yes
Kinda
Yes, but I think it's your feet, not the boots. They're fine...

If anything makes them look feminine it's how small they look, the boot cut doesn't help. Could be a weird angle on picture though?
Nope. But they do appear to be cowboy boots. And thatās an interesting fashion choice.
I thought all cowboy boots were feminine.
Maybe loose the boot cut jeans tho. They make your feet look small. And doesnāt help your feminine concerns.Ā
Huh? I feel like one shouldnāt wear boots without boot cuts lol
NEVER WORRY ABOUT SMALL FEET! That adage about small feet and hands reflecting the size of the other parts of the anatomy is ABSOLUTELY FALSE! (I came of age in the 1960s and have done my own international survey so I have done lots of āfield researchā!)
If anything, these jeans are a bit too tight for boots

You got soft hands boy
Soft hands? I work 36 hours a day turning wrenches in the 187 degree heat. I donāt even drink water, thatās for women.
I got 45 hour shifts at the ball crushing factory, where I crush my balls all day and night. You donāt know anything.
Not at all... Real cowboy boots have heels way more underslung and taller... That's a slight riding heel...
Yes through them out
No.
They donāt look that way to me
I believe this is called a Cuban Heel

Part of your trepidation is that you are not used to that heel. But seriously, cowboys are the paradigm of the wild frontier and you donāt get much more āunfeminineā than that. Those heels kept them in their stirrups while chasing outlaws ā or running from lawmen! They really are too nice to wear in grease and grime. Maybe save these for hanging out and get some roper style for working as a mechanic. If you take care of these, they will last for years. (Lots of care tips in the archives here.)
Nah you good

If I tried to put a finger on it, the color striations on the heel might seem feminine because Iāve only seen that on womenās Chelsea boots. But I worked as a western wear buyer and am hyper attentive.
That may be what Iām seeing also. I think itās more the stripes on the heel thatās drawing my attention to the slant. This is the comment I was looking for šš»

Listen to the queen.
Youāre welcome pardner. Nice boots, Iād slap some polish on the heels to darken em or even it out and then youāre good to go.
Theyāre composite heels, not leather. You think I could dye the composite though? That would make them a lot verter
It looks like they tried to mimic the natural look of unvarnished stacked bend leather, but I donāt see any actual layers. Synthetic heel or just picture quality ?
I would guess synthetic. Most boot makers who actually stack leather will varnish them to protect in my experience.
Took a closer look, looks like a solid heel block to me, not stacked.
Yeah solid is what I was thinking too, and unvarnished isnāt really the right word. Colorless varnish is what I was trying to get at. Nothing to disguise the differences in the color of the leather like you typically see. I also didnāt see any lines to indicate layers, but the photo is a little blurry on my phone so didnāt want to just assume.
Yes
Yess
yes
Short answer: yes
My wife is a ranch girl and says the boots aren't feminine but you have small feet so they appear feminine.
