To meet a man in high heels these days is not uncommon. But despite the fact that modern society is ready to accept almost everything, they are still looking at them with bewilderment. Even greater confusion is caused by the shows of famous fashion designers, who increasingly offer high-heeled shoes for men. How to relate to this and is it worth the stronger sex to start training to walk on stilettos?
Amazing story
No matter how strange it may sound, men began to wear shoes with heels much earlier than women. At the end of the fifteenth century, Europe did not know anything about such shoes until the ruler of Persia made diplomatic visits to several countries. Surprised courtiers of Louis XIV examined the strange shoes of Shah Abbase. But this was not a tribute to fashion - such shoes helped to gain a foothold in the saddle more confidently.
The French king immediately decided to order such shoes and a widespread fascination with heels began. However, to be different from commoners, Louis XIV ordered a distinction to be made between himself and his courtiers — the sole and heel should be red. Now such shoes are made by French designer Christian Louboutin, his models are considered one of the most expensive and prestigious in the world. A few years later, women decided to introduce newfangled shoes into their wardrobe. Only for them sewed shoes on thinner and more elegant heels.
Necessity
Not all men are born smart young men whose height exceeds 180 cm. It is not surprising that short guys are not too comfortable next to a woman who is taller than a man in heels. Complexes about growth can easily be corrected by correctly selected shoes. Shoes and high heel shoes may not be noticed at all if the trousers cover them completely. A girl may not realize for a long time that her gentleman is much lower than she seems. Of course, these are not stilettos, but rather stable shoes with sturdy heels. Wearing such shoes is not shameful, they will not cause mocking looks from others.
Stage image
In the cinema, theater and on stage, there are quite a few men in heels. At one time, the famous singer Shura wore simply incredible shoes. In his footsteps went the most famous stylist Sergey Zverev. But the second is, rather, compensation for short stature and outrageous. It is impossible to imagine this person without a huge platform. Sometimes actors have to transform into women, they are forced to learn to walk in high heels. This is not the easiest thing, according to the men themselves. Wearing heels after being used to standing firmly on the ground in comfortable shoes for many years is a real feat.
Kazaky
Someone does it with their chip, as a famous Ukrainian dance group. Four young athletic guys just blew up the music world with their appearance. Men in high heels dance and do it so masterfully that not every woman can repeat their gestures. The young people themselves have repeatedly stated that this is only an element of their stage image, they are ordinary heterosexual guys.
I noticed these unique dancers and Madonna. The joint clip brought “Cossacks” world fame. Many tried to repeat their success, but no one has succeeded in achieving this level of skill. The guys and fashion designers did not pass their attention either. They participated in fashion shows in Milan. The team and critics did not escape. Concerts in Russia were regularly disrupted due to the fact that the group was accused of promoting homosexuality. The participants themselves do not understand the indignation of society and say that the origins of the name of their team should be sought in Japanese. They have never had anything to do with the Cossacks, and still do not claim it. Meanwhile, one of the "Cossacks" had already managed to get married, thereby refuting all idle speculation.
The coup in the fashion world
Vivienne Westwood loves to surprise. In her shows, often men walk in heels, and these are thin high stilettos. Models show real professionalism and their gait can only be envied. But fashion critics noticed that in recent years there has been a steady trend - women's shoes are getting lower, but heels in men only add in centimeters.
Jean-Paul Gaultier, Dolce and Gabbana, Fendi, too, are not far behind - at their shows young people confidently walk along the catwalk on stilettos. Only they use it as an element of the show and do not produce such shoes.
But the Spanish designer Victor Blanco, even in everyday life, walks in heels. The man does not hide his homosexual orientation and does not hesitate to wear beautiful shoes in bright colors and high heels.
In support of women
Men from the United States have long been participating in the annual march called “A Mile in Her Shoes.” This is by no means an entertaining event, although watching this action is quite hilarious. Several hundred men march through the streets with an uncertain step with one goal - to protest against sexual violence against women. Canadian guys supported the idea - and since 2009 began to hold an action in Toronto. Such events are a good contribution to the fund of victims of domestic violence. Some men even carry handbags with them.
To be or not to be?
Why should men in high heels catch a judgmental glance? If you look, women in the past decades have stolen everything they like. Pantsuits, shirts, jeans and much more were stolen and taken over from the men's wardrobe. What to say about short hairstyles? Why men can not borrow at least one beautiful thing from women? Give a woman a pair of good shoes and she will conquer the whole world! So said Marilyn Monroe. Do not underestimate the men in heels, perhaps the future lies with them!
