In highly contradictory recent news, Christian Louboutin told Vogue UK that women wear high heels primarily because men don’t, while the New York Times just ran a feature on the uptick in men’s stilettos. Louboutin said, “There is an element of seduction in shoes that doesn’t exist for men.[…]A woman can be sexy, charming, witty or shy with her shoes. Shoes for men are about elegance or wealth; they are not playing with the inner character.” Last week’s New York Times article, however, begs to differ.
The article featured interviews with various Los Angeles-based men who wear up to eight inch heels on a regular basis. “I wish society was more acceptable of men wearing heels,” one male stiletto fiend said. “I think it’s fun. I think it makes a statement.” Others cited the added height as a primary benefit. Mark Cramer (left) and Coy Barton (right), are wearing Chinese Laundry and Steve Madden, respectively.
