These are my first heels and they fit me perfectly as a man. They look as cool as they do in the pictures. The only thing to take into consideration is that due to the bat wings, if you wear pants that extend below the wings, the back half of the bottom of the pant leg will be suspended up by the wings while the front half will hang down, resulting in a slanted look for the pant leg bottom, which can look weird. This can be avoided by wearing pants that are short enough, or pants that are cut at the sides of the bottom, splitting the front and back sections. But overall this is a great shoe.
