    Default Why did men stop wearing high heels?

    Great article, but there are some historical issues here, like Norway not being independent at 1599, so we did not have any court to visit...i sent them an e-mail on it...

    I can't imagine men in high heels! Would look weird and gay. I never wear high heels myself, I can't walk in them. I always wear flat shoes and most of the time sneakers.

    Well I know about some adult men which wear high heels and there is everything ordinary about them supposedly ... and they're not gay and they don't do it because they want to look feminine or in order to remind women. They actually do it as an expression of opposition against standard fashion for men and stereotypes not because of their assumed flamboyancy.

    In most of history the roles for exhibitionism as we see them today, sexy models, fancy clothes, jewellery ect was used by men and not so much women...but times have changed since women entered into the public life more and more, especially since the 1960's onwards...
