The Problem with High Heels

[Niels]

When women wear them for special occasions, or otherwise choose to wear them now and then, that's fine with me. High heels are a shoe style that works well with certain outfits. If she wears them infrequently, or when she isn't doing much walking, they are unlikely to cause foot problems.

Regarding attention seeking behavior, if I wore suits everyday I would get more attention from women. They aren't part of my everyday rotation, but some situations call for me to wear a suit. It's also nice to have the option if I simply feel like it.

That's basically my attitude toward high heels. While I wouldn't recommend or expect a woman to wear them everyday, they have a place in her wardrobe.

I equate heel sartorially with wearing a tie. If she wears heels, I'll wear a tie. Actually, I tend to wear ties somewhat more often than my wife wears heels, but if the situation calls for her to wear heels, it certainly calls for me to wear a tie.

High heels were created for Rock and Roll for bands like Kiss to really look the part and before them for Glam Rockers like Bowie and New York Dolls lol.

Kudos for posting a Dolls photo, but let's not forget Fee Waybill and Elton John.

Lol good one. But I think Eltons are more Punk or Skin Head boots. Actually I think clowns where those kind of boots as well which denotes the opposite of skin heads.

So groups can co-op fashion and then attach a new meaning to them. Its interesting how something like shoes can have so much cultural meaning.
