Why do guys not have uncomfortable footwear in the same way girls wear heels?
Are you suggesting men should wear uncomfortable shoes to make it fair?
Nobody is forcing women to wear heels, and I question the sanity of every woman who does. (OK, not really, but you get what I mean.)
If you say women aren’t as “competitive” in the dating marketplace without heels—and I’ll admit you might have a point—do you really think men don’t make choices that require a minor personal sacrifices in order to make themselves more attractive?
For example a guy who puts more thought—and cash—into planning a date might be more successful, all other things being equal. Asking for a date and usually facing rejection has a “cost” as well. Not that women can’t do the asking, of course.

Heels are sexy I'd never date a girl who doesn't love wearing heels. Its not as uncomfortable as you're making out to be :)
But girls love heels because they look sexy and get attention from guys. Which is worth being a little uncomfortable.
If there was anything equivalent for men, any footwear that could make men equally as sexy and looking good. I'd wear them too even if they are uncomfortable. I would wear heels no problem if it had same affect on girls. Being sexy, looking good and having style is more important that being slightly uncomfortable.
Well girls don’t have to wear uncomfortable footwear
If you are wearing it and it’s somehow important to you that it appears unfair that men don’t then just stop wearing uncomfortable footwear.

A lot of us have to wear suits or dressier clothing even on sweltering summer days and that easily offsets the shoe thing. And because men are expected to have occupations or do more physically active things, going off the beaten path for nicer looking shoes that sacrifice comfort or practical use is silly

It's always kind of boggled my mind that women's high heeled shoes are seen as "good" shoes. I think there's a lot of truth to the old adage that "form follows function" and I think high heeled shoes fail that standard if you're talking about footwear made for . . . I don't know, actually walking in. But of course they're not made for walking in. They're made to accentuate a woman's figure.

Because it was never culturally important or "fansionable" for men to dress that way. In addition, as men have historically been the physical laborers of society, uncomfortable footwear wouldn't have made any sense.

Well there isn't any fashion trends that would make guys where uncomfortable shoes. Admittedly smart shoes that you where we a suit are pretty uncomfortable if you walk around a lot on them

Some guys do wear uncomfortable shoes. I wear what's comfortable. I don't see the point in wearing anything that isn't comfortable.

Flats and loafers are perfectly comfortable, it is not our problem that you choose to wear high heels.

boots can be overrated, they can be uncomfortable after a while but heels are for sure unfair.

Well, I wear boots in the Army and in my job as a security guard. They're pretty comfortable. I think girls wearing uncomfortable footwear is what gives them a sense of submissiveness.

We do. Dress shoes are not comfortable. My brogue dress shoes from the 1950s are really painful to wear for hours. I don't complain because they look good.
This is a stupid topic... -
Because girls where made to wear heels i guess it goes with the girls style and they can wear boots if they are uncomfortable with heels etc

We do. If they're cheap, they're likely made of cheap material and that can often be quite uncomfortable.
