    Very interesting article.
    «Treue ist die wortlose Sprache inneren Reichstums» (Leitheft, Nr. 3, 1942)



    «Der Starke aber steht mit versteinertem Gesicht, ein berauschter Triumphator der Materie, im Gewitter. Er hat das Gleichgewicht in der veränderten Ebene des Geschehens gefunden, denn mag die Welt Kopf stehen, ein mutiges Herz hat seinen eigenen Schwerpunkt.»
    (E. Jünger, Der Kampf als inneres Erlebnis)

    Male platform shoes were worn as recently as the 80s I believe. Some urban subcultures still wear them regardless of sex.

    Those are just elegant shoes, not so "high heels".

    If men start wearing high heals again then we have to start wearing 20 cm heals and we'll all look like clowns.

    Women adopted the heel from men, not the other way around.

    I'm going to be honest. I've dressed in drag and I love wearing heels.

    But I never wear them any other time, of course.

    Guess you missed the early 90's:



    And guys wearing similar shoes in the late 90's:
