The strangest relationship in fashion is the relationship with your shoe. It is a relationship of trust and intimacy. I know I might come off a bit emotional but relax and enjoy this piece.
And yes! Men can also wear heels. In fact it is sexy to see a man on high heeled boot. While I won't recommend stilettos or something extreme. Wearing high heeled boots of all kinds is definitely something I would recommend for men.
• You could invest in heels protectors for extremely point heels
• Invest in balanced shoes. If it tilts you to either side too much, discard it.
• Don't invest in heavy shoes. It make your legs ache and you get your leg muscles tensed. Invest in very light shoes.
• Buy shoes that compliments your type of wardrobe.
• This is an advice I should take as well, be dynamic in your shoe choices. I included me because I mostly buy just pointy shoes and neutral colors. But I have started becoming more daring as of recent.
Basic Shoe Types to Invest In
1. The Basic heels.
• This could either be stilettos (one of the many things to ask your partner to pronounce on your first date)
• It could be Dorsays; which I strongly don't advice except you are good with heels.
• Court heels for official gatherings
• Or the basic classic plumps for every occassion
2. High heeled boots
I really don't think there is much to boots, just a game of how high it comes. And boots are important because they can be easily worn on almost anything. When you crave that bad boy or girl look. Boots, leather jackets or jeans jacket are the trio to sought after.
• Boots can be paired by both men and women.
• For men, keep the boots lower. So ankle boots and even knee boots are fine but don't make them go higher than that
• The four inches rules is also applicable to men. In fact, don't settle for less.
• Buy more of plain colors like brown, black and neutral shades. Boots are bogus in design. Being extra with them can run your already beautiful outfit
3. Sandal heels
There are a couple of occasions and outfits normal basic heels and boots can't attend with you. You need to reveal some toes to complement the dress. You should also note the following;
• When you dress is a fully conservative dress, sandal heels are a life saver.
• When you have a flowy dress with long slits, sandal heels gives life to your outfit
• Sandal heels are better choices than peep toes (this is my opinion and not a fact)
• You can get the most bogus and overly designed pieces. Sandal heels are naturally simple. Spice things up
• Avoid heels with too many straps. I personally dont like it, it could start looking tacky.
The latest trend of pairing mules with Jean's is definitely something I would like to try. The simplicity and grace is commendable.
It is a piece I would advice everyone to try out.
What about those lazy evenings when you would like to wear a mazi dress and a mules slippers. How neatly your toes sink into the comfort and the crazy leg chain details we see everywhere makes me have a fashion orgasm. It is truly beautiful.
I won't say much about mules slippers. It is just slippers. You can go crazy with it, just invest in good quality.
One of my biggest reason for writing this article is to aid men to stop feeling very close minded about trying heels. It is not effeminate. In fact I highly recommend it. And stop having same design of shoes. Explore the universe of shoes!
My first encounter with the revolutionary and psychological consequences of the shoes you wear was the comment of one of the actresses in boys over flower to Geum jan di, she said "good shoes can take you to good places" . And believe me this is literal.
I would also take the biblical way to explaining why your shoes are so important. The bible says beautiful are the feet of those that bring the good news of salvation. The grace and ease you walk with and all those minute things might be a determinant of whether or not you will remain single or taken this year. Lol! Yes I said it.
The topic of shoes in fashion is to broad to be exhausted in just one single article. So I am limiting this to high heels in particular.
Who can wear high heels?
Absolutely anybody above the age of ten. I put that because I believe in the formative period, kids have very weak legs. I am not a Doctor and I cannot say this categorically. But it really doesn't look that nice if you ask me. It looks more like a fashion misfit on most kids.

How to walk with heels
This might be hard to describe but I hope you get it either ways. When you are walking in heels it is best to note the following;
• You should not choose heels that are above 4 inches. When your heels are higher than that, it stops looking graceful and starts looking messy. Just do it for the sake of fashion and your health. Don't buy something that is too high or pointy.
• Your heels should touch the ground before your entire feet does. So you tap the heels on the floor before your feet.
• Now don't make it look ugly and be purposefully doing it. Learn it in one swift motion and let your body ease into the experience
