It's the last bastion of women's outerwear that hasn't been appropriated by the more fashionable men out there - until now.
High heels are, apparently, de rigueur for men.
To the possible chagrin of some more traditional males, those with a fashionable eye and an eccentric sensibility are taking the women's power dressing weapon of choice and making it their own.

1. It's the end of the world as we know it

and I feel fine.

2. I guess if they want to be uncomfortable, it is up to them

Impair your mobility all you want, guys.

3. I find it odd that they opted for stilleto...

rather than the clunky solid heel that is both a bit more masculine in form and better suited to support the weight and build of a man. Men, even skinny ones, are not petite.

7. S & M shoes

I was surprised by the stilettos, the most uncomfortable, teetering shoes available. I guess a clunky shoe just doesn't garner the same attention.

9. You're thinking....more like this?:

10. If they came in cordovan or tan...still no.

Maybe this?

4. I love how they try to make fads out of thin air.

Was it in the 80s that they said men would be wearing make up? With the exception of goths and certain pop stars, it never took off.

5. There is a correct way to do this...

"Walk A Mile In Her Shoes" to protest violence against women.

[Bucky]

20. Where is that protest?

I don't believe in crime, but if I do need to do a smash & grab, I wanna pick a town where I can outrun the cops.

6. As much as I could use the extra few inches ...

this ain't happening for me. :P

[Bucky]

21. The gain is height would only be temporary, as I'm sure I'd fall flat on my face within a few steps.

8. I don't know how women even walk on those.

Uh, yeah, no thanks.

Back when I worked at the garden center, we did used to have a regular customer for a while, a big, tall, strapping guy about 6'3", probably 220 lbs, who came in usually wearing about size 13-14 lavender high heeled shoes and color-coordinated lipstick, and carrying a purse. So, I have seen this.

11. don't know about those but these look like fun...

[siligut]

23. I remember seeing these

Are they prosthetic enhancers, enabling the wearer to jump higher, run faster and with less work/energy?

[pokerfan]

26. Jumping stilts

12. The highest heels I'm gonna wear are on my boots ...

Cowboy boots, that is.

:hi:

13. ER-ROR ER-ROR

DO NOT COMPUTE

[Shagbark Hickory]

14. One of them is jabbing Elliott Dexter's star with those things. n/t

[Skittles]

15. WTF is with the frankenstein shoe

UGH I cannot believe ANYONE wears such fucking UGLY shoes

[dixiegrrrrl]

16. Trousers are all wrong, they have to be lame'........gold.

And a jaunty hat.

[bluedigger]

17. I don't think so.

Ridiculously uncomfortable. :eyes:

And I'd like to see "suspenders guy" sit down. Those pants have no room in the crotch... :)

[Tabasco_Dave]

18. Lux Interior, lead singer for the Cramps, looked cool in heels

unlike those two guys. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=34b5vskceLo

[Bucky]

19. Apparently, other current fashion trends for guys includes titty chains and dressing like twins.

[Bucky]

22. No, HERE is the newest trend in men's footwear

[LynneSin]

24. Good maybe I can find decent shoes for my size 11 feet

since it's nearly impossible to find women's shoes in size 11.

[Bombero1956]

25. excuse me but no, no, no and no

That is wrong on so many levels it defies description. Why have they painted their toenails black? Now I'm going to be thinking about that all day, kind of like an eyeworm.
