Why Men Should Wear High-Heels!

There are many reasons why men don’t wear high heels. Yet, there are just as many compelling reasons for men to don the infamous stiletto and strut about. If history serves, men wore high heels before the fairer sex decided to include them in their fashion oeuvre.

Height: the most obvious reason, high-heels give men added height. And this should help those men who are somewhat height disadvantaged to match their dates who may be wearing 5 inch stilettos. And to intimidate underlings at your place of employ!

Bar fights: men would not enter into any agreements of fisticuffs (as much) if wearing a pair of stilettos. That whole balance thing is different in a pair. Conversely, if you do find yourself in the midst of bar brawl, having six inch daggers handy on your feet can come to use. Come on… you’ve all seen CSI!

Girls: the more a man stretches beyond the confines of narrowly designed social constructs for the male image, the more a woman is inclined to imagine those men who wander outside the lines and what they could mean in bed. A man who knows the joy and the heartache of wearing heels, may be more user friendly in the sack.

Exercise: high heels make you sweat. Having to charge up a flight of stairs in those precarious instruments of delight can take your breath away. And the amount of concentration and planning to transverse a flight of stairs in the stilettos can help with exercising the ol’ grey matter- to boot.

Compromising: If you And your lady friend are both wearing heels, then you will have the same walking gate. No more having to wait for her to titter up those stairs because you would be too!

And lastly, the appeal to that last vestige of testosterone, wearing high heels is an extreme sport.

Alas... 5" Heels Spotted Downtown Mellonville. Joy!

Well… this little burg can surprise me every once in awhile.

It was a lovely day here in the naked city. The big smog. Warm and spring-like… we have almost forgotten the motorcycle gang killings and settled into waiting for the smog to descend upon us.

But this also means summer temperatures and away go the boots and shoes and out comes the dreaded Flip Flops.

Not today … not today.

I walked into our Library-slash-downtown mall and there, in the hallway, a lovely Latino girl wearing white 5” pumps. I was beside myself with glee. Finally, some other kindred spirit wearing really sexy heels.

And she was ever so gorgeous.

They were being worn to be seen, no long pants, no long skirt. They were to be enjoyed. She walked well in them too. No stutter steps… no pausing to re-capture balance.

It was such a pleasure to see and behold.

But alas… summer brings us flip flops; winter brings us Uggs … it bears down on us. And the hideous footwear of rich students acting impoverished and the Top Ten People. (In case you do not know the term Top Ten People, it was coined many a year ago to refer to office workers who only saw top ten films, read top ten books, listened to top ten music, go to top ten vacation spots) They are horrible people.

With summer comes flats. With winter well ... it's hideous to say the least. I am bracing myself. Gently easing myself into this period of no heels and no boots. However, with luck, there will be more kindred spirits walking the sidewalks of our fair city, proudly strutting in their 5” heels.

I can only hope and dream … and wait ... to see if real shoes return.

How Well Shod Are You?

To be well shod.

I believe the origins of this phrase has something to do with horses – but no matter, it speaks well of high heels as well, in a peculiar way.

As I walked through Melonville today, a shiny warm day, I saw a few brave souls wearing heels, mainly 3”affairs… but at least they were heels. Most were wearing the dreaded, horrific Flip Flops.

And I started to wonder why the sexy high-heel is so regarded as ‘freakish’. It doesn’t make any sense. Why? Because everyone secretly lusts after them.

To wear high-heels (let’s make it perfectly, clear high-heels are 3 inches and up) makes you very aware of the very act of walking. They make you feel sexy. This will in turn make you look sexy.

Do you disagree.

Well, there are very few exotic dancers who wear flat shoes. And if they do, they will go broke. Any dancer will quickly determine the way to increase income is to learn how to walk in heels. Because no matter how often a person decries and scoffs at the high heel, they are most often attracted to them.

The high-heel is alluring and sensuous. The wearer is saying, I like to look and feel sexy.

High heel boots only transfer up the leg what the heels start, wrapping the legs in a provocative sleeve of leather, shifting the focus away from sexy to sexy power.

So, in a way I’m happy not everyone wears high-heels. It’s always refreshing and tantalizing when you happen to see someone IS wearing them and you feel a kindred spirit and attachment that is signaled between the wearers.

Break away from the bland, the blah, the ordinary and the conformity. Don a pair of 5” pumps and show of your legs. In my opinion, you will definitely be well-shod.

High Heels - Blessed Are Those Who Wear Thy Heels!

Today, while poking around the internet, looking for tidbits of information and delight, I stumbled upon something that was both horrifying and compelling. And in weird sort of way, actually helps my crusade for high heels.

It was an article about the way woman dress provocatively, and by doing so, become sinners in the eyes of God.

Oh, baby . . . that’s what I’m talking about. Yeah!

In fact, in a sense of backfiring of biblical proportions, the writer’s emphasis on how sexy a woman dresses leads men into temptation (never mind any girl on girl), and I quote:

Christian woman, do you ever dress like a prostitute? You may not intend to do so, but if your clothes draw a man's attention to your body, then you are guilty of this wickedness. And you are an accomplice in the destruction of men's souls, even if you don't sleep with them. If you think prostitutes wear five-inch stiletto heels, fishnet hose, very short black leather skirts, and very tight, bright red sweaters, you prove ignorance of this subject!
Ohhh … baby! Pardon me while I sprinkle some cold chardonnay on my sweating, quivering brow. The whole article in its decrying of the way woman dress and the shameful acts that woman cause by donning clothes and slipping on shoes is ... Well… I have to say … it’s Hot baby … HOT!

I mean… this article read like a hot sexy erotic novel from Blue Moon books. Take this paragraph … please:

High heels were not invented for comfort, but to alter the shape of the calves and the movement of the hips while walking. A mincing walk is a wanton walk (Is 3:16). Sleeveless dresses, sandals with straps, lace and gauze overlays, ankle bracelets, and many other items should concern the consciences of women striving for public modesty.
Oh public modesty… oooohhh … it’s never been so modest … and sooo large!

But here’s the thing. These scriptures were written thousands of years ago by scores of men and rewritten several times over by men, lonely, desperate men, who had entered monasteries so they could eat. They lusted. They dreamed… and they hated themselves for it.

And many a year later, we have modern day purists trying to interpret ancient texts, out of context, to fit their narrow little world view I call “Fear of Sexuality” or more importantly “Fear of Life”.

I mean the last thing a Christian Purist will do is read the whole bible, cover to cover. Because by jiminy… look at all the sex in there. Oh the begetting! And if a wife couldn’t begat… then another woman was brought in to begat. They tend to only read the sections that bolster their own personal Biblical view.

So, there it is. Keep wearing those high-heels. I mean can there be anything sexier. This article virtually says there is nothing hotter!

By the by, if you’re curious, the whole article is listed here. But I caution you; you’ll either laugh you head off or get really aroused. But the last thing you’ll become is a non-sinner.

http://www.letgodbetrue.com/proverbs/07_10.htm

Oh and the last thing a Christian will do, at least a purist, is turn the other cheek. It is the one tenet of the Bible that sticks in their craw.

High Heels - It's All In the Arch!

What causes us to lust after the high heel?

They are undeniably sexy… true.

But they hurt the feet and the legs and cause back problems, it is complained. True . . . they do. But so do running shoes and flats … even Flips Flops . . . if worn incorrectly, or you have a bad fit.

The culprit. The arch.

Badly fitted shoes kill that arch support. I’ve seen women who have incredible foot problems who have never worn a heel over and inch, and that was by mistake when they didn’t realize they were wearing a Cuban Heel.

Oh the humanity!

A properly supported arch is sooo important regardless of the heel height. A six inch heel with a high arch that supports the curvature of the foot is best. A low arch will cause the damage, but more importantly, a poorly fitted, incorrectly matched arch does the most damage. At 6” or 1”, the result is the same.

In conjunction with this is the toe-box. One should always wear high heels that give generous room in the toe box. A good discussion on this can be found at:

http://www.medianet.pl/~andrew/shoes/comfy_heels.htm

Personally, I think training is the proper way. If you constantly wear Flip Flops, you’re feet will spread out until you look like a Hobbit from the Shire. And who wants to see that on the dance floor (Sorry Frodo…).

As I’ve said, high heel stilettos are not for everyone. Unfortunately, in Melonville, the ones wearing them are far too often those who shouldn’t, and I get misty eyed when I see perfectly shaped legs come to an abrupt stop in Flops. It kills the curvature of the calf, which is such a big bonus to wearing the heel.

But all that doesn’t matter.

The high heel is elegant, provocative, sexy, signaling, sensuous, and gives one a tingly feeling. Can this be bad?

Absolutely not!

Talk-Shows Seem To Hate High Heels!

I need to find out how one becomes a camera operator on a talk-show.

Why?

Because whenever a star comes out wearing super sexy, fantabulous high heel shoes, as they walk across the stage to take a seat and begin to converse with the host, the camera operator invariably cuts them off at the knees.

Or if they are in a particular temperamental and disturbing mood… will cut the image of just above the ankles.

There are few free joys in the world, and seeing celebrities in their heels is one of them. Mind you I don’t sit with bated breathe and drooling, quivering lips to see a brief glimpse of celebrities heels… that guy lives down the hall.

I am more curious and pleasantly surprised by the style and type of heel each celebrity wears. And some of these shoes cost a fortune. More than some small countires entire GDP for the year, kinda fortune.

So if I was a celebrity who shelled out serious platinum bars for a pair of Manolo’s only for the grips and gaffers to see them … well I’d be pissed.

I can visulize the star in the hotel room, walking in the heels, making sure they fit and are comfortable to avoid that awkward step before sitting in the chair … and thinking of the heel training they have done so they can glide across the stage floor as elegantly as possible – only to have some goof-ball camera operator chunk the shot.

It would get by bloomers in a knot!

I mean do these stars show up in Birkenstocks?? (Shudder… gasping for air)

By no means… they have careers to consider.

Therefore, I appeal to all that is good and human in these talk-show hosts to plead with these camera operators to widen the shot just a titch (you know what a titch is) and include the celebrities footwear in their glory walk to the interview chair.

You’re ratings would go up… I know the guy down the hall would start tuning in again!

High Heels - All The Time, Any Place!

I just read an interesting forum thread talking about the long time affects from wearing high heels extensively. That after a given time your leg tendons shrink and you are locked into wearing high heels the rest of your life.

Heaven forefend!

Mind you, deftly stepping out in 6” heels when you’re 75 years old might be tricky and perhaps not advisable, this is true.

However, this never has to happen if you take your breaks in the heels. Meaning, get out there and run a few blocks in joggers. It will do you’re legs good and your heart too!

Aside from the long term health benefits, other posters contributed by saying things like who would show up at a little league game wearing stilettos. I mean holy sacrilege. Okay. Hang on here… I have to stop foaming at the mouth.

Now this was a high heel shoes forum discussing fetish footwear and ultra high heels and there were posts from some misguided and delusional posters decrying the wearing of the stiletto above 4” unless a night out on the town is in order. I had to keep checking to see if I had accidently wandered into the Gerry Falwell website by mistake.

Again … for shame!

What is this lunacy? Of course you can wear 5” and 6” heels to a little league game, but one has to think, style, wardrobe, culture… yeah culture baby!

You don’t wear the pumps… you wear the boots with a 5” heel. With a longish skirt or loose fitting pants or with capris. You have to coordinate or die!

Or sandal-plats or wedge heels with a significant heel - to the little league park.

No one would wear a slinky evening affair to the park – why would anyone wear evening wear stilettos?

Is there no common sense left in this world? Do I have to dress this shaggy little planet? It’s still called Earth, right … I have had my head in the cyber-world for awhile now, so it’s best to check.

High heels can be worn everywhere and anywhere at any time. Except perhaps if you’re scuba diving… and I have prototype high heel flippers in the works. (Patent Pending). So watch out Seaworld!
