wow ...First off these guys dance better in Stilettos better then some woman walk!! And before you start any crap about men in heels ....Some fun history stuffs for you >>though high-heeled shoes or boots have more often been worn by women, in various times and places they have been standard features of mens footwear too, either for practical reasons or as fashionable items. Mongolian horsemen were among the first to use heels as means to keep their feet from sliding out of their stirrups. It is also well known that Egyptian butchers wore high heels so they would not step directly in the blood and other yucky stuffs. Pharaohs and nobles in Ancient Egypt would wear high heels to show power and for ceremonial purposes. Actors playing tragic roles in ancient Greek drama wore the buskin, a boot with a platform sole, designed to give them greater height over other actors. The Romans, both men and women, wore cothurns, or sandals with platform heels; these were intended to lift the wearers above mud and garbage in the streets. Geta, which are based on a similar concept, are still used in Japan today. American cowboy boots, first developed in the 19th century and still popular today in some parts of the United States, have high underslung heels to keep a riders foot from sliding through the stirrup. and finally who can forget High-heeled platform shoes were a widely popular form of mens footwear during the 1970s. Frankly I wish I could still move in heels :D
