I used to wear heeled Beatle boots when I was in Jr. High school and that was enough to last me a lifetime. I'll pass on heels again !
If men wore high heels and women wore flatties, how would we cope? Would the way we behave (especially at shoe sales) change? What would the conversation be like in coffee lounges? And bars?
Sorry just thinking about that hurts my head.
I can't walk with high heels. I can't stand them (pun totally intended). It's too awkward for me to walk in them. I'm fine with my height. (I'm 6"2)
Sorry, but it could never happen. High heels hurt too much. It is the same principle as if men were the ones to have children we would be extinct. They just wouldn't deal with the pain.
I think the conversation would be about how pretty your legs are, and what's the best hair removal. I think sales of mini weed whackers and wax would skyrocket, and women would be walking on tippy toes. There would be a lot more whining from the men and hysterical laughter from women. Within a week it would be mandatory to take one day off a week from work, because your feet hurt AND a new pain reliever that the world never knew existed would be miraculously invented. Leave of absences would be the norm, like maternity leave would be. The emotional upheaval would create support groups, and best of all you'd all get paid for leave and all things pertaining to heels would be free. Thigh highs or pantyhose would be the hot topic at the water coolers. There would be free government programs and every man would get a free closet full of heels. Kleenex would be in such high demand from crying that there would be shortages. Women would have to pay double the amount for plastic surgery to remove those laugh lines, and our flatties would cost double the amount of heels.
Didge here again what we learn!
Pepper Pot's research, that men in Old Persia actually did wear the high heels?
However I think prolly Gator Blu has the correct information here, men are just not tough enough to bear the pain of high heel shoes... ;)
Their is no no way i can wear hi heals and it pushes your butt out my butt is already out. Im wearing flip flops or tennis shoes
I can't imagine wearing heels on the job site. They would make climbing a ladder very difficult.
My neck would ache even more than it does when speaking to tall folk. My partner is over six foot, in heels it would be a neck breaker for me as I stand at 5 '3". I wouldn't want men in heels it's too effeminate.
The first high heels were worn by Persian men in the ninth century, when horse-riding to keep their feet in the stirrups, this caught on and men wore them, (especially amongst the aristocrats) because they thought it gave them a masculine edge, made them feel more powerful as high heels would be considered unpractical for the working class. Louis XIV of France was only 5'4", and so he wore four inch heels. Women actually started to wear heels in order to appear more "masculine" in competition with the men, but this all fell out of fashion by the Age Of Enlightenment. In late 1800's they made a return but only women wore them. After the war very high heels came into fashion with a slender hill such as the stiletto, which were designed by Roger Vivier in order to make women look more attractive with longer slender legs.
High heels can put the pelvis out of alignment and cause compression of the spine, ingrowing toenails, fractures, wear and tear in the soft tissue, and shrinking of the Achilles tendon, in today's world I don't think men would put up with that. I stick to my comfortable shoes and only wear heels when I go for a meal or out to a party.
"Not tough enough"? I would argue for more sensible, except for the fact bthat my compatriots seem to want to hang onto the necktie, a bit of apparel that every bit as useless as the high heel.
If I had been a man in Old Persia, I would have quickly invented the the bow saw.
(Assuming of course that it had not yet been invented.)
We are falling into stereotypes already! We might not wearing heels! But ladies wearing flatties and other types very easily, even at the workplace. There are plenty of arguments out there about none mandatory fashion for employees in the workplace.
The design of heels specially in today's age belongs to woman. The heel goes to woman's attractiveness,shaping the legs, pelvis. And spinal area. Also some consider it as a power to look tall and strong. Women's spinal and body's structure is noticeably different from men. The heels designed according to women's physical structures. That's where also Otis idea about butt happens to be. But still the fact remains the overuse of heels can cause endless troubles and issues for women. This issues happens while heels suppose to be friends of women, now imagine what they would do to men ? I'll tell you;
Pain, discomfort, falling down with every three step, lower back pain, and more, and this is what all the conversations will be about! Men pain! Women's laughs and sympathy. We'll act angry while shopping as well cause of the imbalance and pain under our feet!!!!
Simply! It's a chaos! Can not happen!
