The debate about whether men should wear high heels has always raged. The general consensus is that high heels are traditionally worn by women and therefore men should not wear them. Proponents of this school of thought believe that men wearing high heels is like assuming feminine qualities, essentially portraying them as weak or giving up their masculine nature. What a twisted way of thinking!
The start of the 21st century has seen the button on gender norms pushed and norms that were once exclusive to one particular gender are slowly evolving into “what’s good for the goose is good for the goose”. Misconceptions aside, there are good reasons for men to wear high heels just like women. In any case, the reasons for women to wear high heels are the same reasons for men to wear the best weightlifting shoes on the market or the best designer men’s high boots.
Back to the subject of our topic, should men wear high heels? I firmly say yes. Why should they do so?
Increase height
Just like women, men also struggle with height issues. In fact, society is very intolerant of short men. We have all heard women talk about their ideal type of man. Whether the women are from Europe, Asia, America or Africa. A common phrase they use is that they need a man who is “tall”, dark and handsome. Add to that the fact that tall men tend to get more opportunities in the corporate world or in sports, and you can see why men’s high heels are quickly becoming a fashion statement. Do you want to add a few inches to your height? Do you want to attend social events without feeling shorter than you actually are? The answer is in men’s tall boots or any type of men’s high heels.
Confidence
Women feel confident and sexy when they wear high heels. In fact, women have been using high heels to increase their height and confidence since ancient times. If they feel that they are shorter, they can simply choose high heeled ankle boots, high heeled sandals, or any stiletto heels that they feel comfortable with. With a wide variety of men’s high heels on the market, men can boost their confidence and go to dates with their heads held high and confident in themselves. What’s more? Most men’s high heel boots are designed to be discreet, making it difficult to tell whether they are height enhancing.
When buying high heels
Let’s face it. Shoes are an important accessory in our wardrobe. In fact, if the findings of researchers are anything to go by, shoes make a man or woman more attractive and therefore tend to attract attention. A woman who is well dressed and outgoing in high heels is bound to attract a lot of attention from men compared to a woman who wears flat shoes with regular clothes. Of course, this observation can be criticized depending on which school of thought you belong to. That is, whether you are a man or a woman, the shoes you wear determine your level of attractiveness.
Women find men who wear nice shoes more attractive than men who wear regular shoes. Again, what makes a good shoe is anyone’s guess. Let’s talk about women’s high heels and some important factors to consider when buying them.
Size
This is without a doubt the most obvious. Whether you are buying heels for little girls, heels for women, or just high heel sandals, choosing the right size that is both comfortable and flattering to your figure is crucial. It really is a no-brainer.
Wardrobe
Your wardrobe determines the type of heels you will buy. The biggest mistake any woman can make is buying heels that don’t match or go with any of the clothes in your wardrobe. So how can you wear a heel if it doesn’t go with any of the clothes in your wardrobe? Imagine your wardrobe and how it would go with the high heel ankle boots you are about to buy or the high heel sandals you covet. You don’t want to buy heels that don’t go with your wardrobe.
Occasion
Are you planning on attending a garden wedding or a dinner party? What is the occasion? The heels you buy should be perfect for the occasion you plan on attending. For example, if you are planning on attending a garden wedding, it would be foolish to choose super stiletto heels. The reason is obvious. Super stiletto heels will sink into the grass and make it more difficult for you to walk.
Taste and Preferences
It goes without saying that each of us has different tastes and preferences. Some prefer 4-inch heels, 2-inch heels, super stilettos, to name a few. In this regard, whether you buy high heeled ankle boots or women’s high heels from your favorite store, make sure it suits your taste and preference! The high heels you buy should be comfortable and make you happy!
