Heels for Men

[Deleted member 106803]

But not in the shape displayed in your avatar surely

Does that matter?

Hell yeah. They mimic the ones in that photo which I find odd.

Surely 'high' heels weren't designed for men? Heels yes. Ones you get on boots or shoes like these;

But not the 'high' heel shoe type you have in your avatar right?

I think this outfit looks great and I don't see anything drag queenish in it. (But I am biased, see some pages back ...)

Can anyone ID the shoes ?

Givenchy.

Read up on your history.

Givenchy.

Thanks!

And whatever the height of the historical male heels was, we now have 2009 and I like to wear whatever fits my body and mind , like the girls do since decades ago.

Gosh I know, I really should have paid attention to my GCSE course in History. They must have covered it.

No seriously, if you can find something online, an article or something I'd be willing to read it.

Google search for "history of high heels for men" took about a second, and produced results.

Between my fear of heights and my fear of back pain, I don't expect to be trying these any time soon, but if I were going to wear heels, I definitely favor these, by Rick Owens. Photo courtesy of the New York Rick Owens store.

That's super duper helpful. Results 1 - 10 of about 1,640,000.

Thanks.

"The most buzzed about look on the runway? Men in heels. The male models wore the very same black high-heel ankle booties as the women."

that outfit is SO emmanuelle alt!! sauf the bag

Exactly my thoughts.
The outfit is okay from the waist up. But them shoes look terrible

That outfit looks awesome. Nice to see that designers see also this unisex theme. I have been waiting for this to happen.

hahah i was driving in the city and has the car was turning there was a man limping across the road(so we waited for like 5 mins) cause he was wearing those similar pair of boots by rick owen....i felt sorry for him

 

[DevonDevore]

lmao
i totally saw that guy slouching around in those heels.
he didnt know how to walk in them as his walk wasnt graceful lol. it more like, lift leg. plop leg down. lift other leg. plop leg down. he was taking really wide steps lol. and he was still short with 5 inch heels on >.<.
i wish someone could find that guy that hangs around lady gaga with the platinum hair. he has some heels for you lol

Well, not as extravagant as some of the other examples posted, but Tom Ford shoes have some higher heels than usual - the type he always wears.

 

[redeemed_by_Him]

nawww sweet of you to be so considerate mrsjamesdean!
im so tempted by the RO shoes! they are so friggin beautiful!
does anyone here own a pair? any reviews?

Though I'm not sold on sarouels or harem pants (same thing?), I'll admit that the bloke in Post #632 looks great.
