Men in Heels

Here is a NYTimes article about some fashionable young men wearing tall-tall shoes to parties and clubs in the city.

The problem is that usually men have tighter feet than women, so the male foot stubbornly resists the demands of high shoes.  I'm sure we can all agree that tall shoes are very demanding biomechanically.  If your feet can't negotiate with your tall shoes, a few things are likely to happen:  you fall down or you give up and take them off.  This is not acceptable!  Your shoes are way too cute for that!  You've got to develop flexibility in your feet and thank God I can show you how to do that. 

Of course, men wearing "women's" shoes is not new.  I've always adored the Trocks, the ballet company of men who dance in pointe shoes and in drag. You're welcome.

Mens feet are definitely tougher and a bit more to manage in a pair of heels! Although, the 2 guys in the picture seem to be sporting them with certain comfort :)
