Men, would you take to wearing high heels?

No? Why not?





Did you know that high heels were invented by and for men? The purpose of their creation was for cavalry soldiers, they would hook the heel into the stirrups so they could stand up in the saddle and fight with long axes, swords and javelins.


Much later on, ONLY male nobility were permitted to wear heels (shoes and boots) in order to appear taller than their subjects and common folks.





So how the heck did women take this away from us? I think we should take them back! What do you think? :-)

Men, would you take to wearing high heels?
you damn right dude!!!! how the heck did we allow this





do you know that in old France only noble men wear make up?





I still have my 2-inches-heel cowboy-style horse riding long boots, and yes, they do make me a little taller HA!!
Reply:Dear Scuba Dude,


It's called a "Cowboy boot". Most are about an inch and a half to two inches


Heels actually do make since so long as you are riding... a western saddle or a motorcycle... But are HE|| on the feet of any one that walks in them.


The “high heel became a fashion statement for women because the average difference in the height of a man and a woman was about three to fore inches. And a 3” heel put her at just about the right height for kissing.

Most men don't ride horses today, and if they did there are better shoes to wear. I do notice many Western boots (USA) do have some heel height, though they do not pose the same stress on the foot and peril to walking that "high heels" do.





Personally, no one ought to inflict these upon themself, male or female.

Reply:They are called Elevator shoes for short men. Tom Cruise and Sylvester Stallone all wear them.
