People don't know mens dress shoes if they didn't know the heeled shoes were a thing.

I'm wrong that Cowboy style boots have a heel? or that they're called boots? what was the point you wanted to make? Do real cowboys worth their salt call them Cowboy heels, because that'll be a first for me.
Actually useful info. Didn't know that before, thanks bud.

Heels along with leggings were originally men's fashion 400+ years ago.
While it keeps me busy from all the women clientele seeking relief from their lower back pain. Heels are brutal on the feet, hips and spine.
With that said, I still think heels are quite possibly one of the worst fashion inventions we ever created.
I mean, haven't men worn heels historically? Those old British shoes had heels, cowboy boots and biker boots have heels. Some dress shoes have heels. In fact I never noticed it but my dress shoes have heels.
You will see a lot of shorter actors wearing kind of those raised shoes to appear taller.
Yeah, I remember a couple years back when folks got triggered and started mocking Marco Rubio for his heels. Personally I would side with @Celista, I've heard heels aren't the best thing for anyone, health/joint-wise. That said, it doesn't bother me when folks where heels. Andre the Giant wore heels. I worked with a woman who was probably 6'1 or so naturally who liked wearing 3+ inch heels. Cowboy boots have had heels since forever. So it's not a "short person" thing. There are folks of all heights who like to feel taller. I wouldn't bother to get bothered by it. If you want to walk on stilts so you can feel eight feet tall, meh, whatever makes you feel good.

The sooner people realize that these kinds of articles have such sensationalist titles to get exactly this response, the better so we can stop seeing posts like this from people on MMO-C too gullible or too oblivious to understand the concept of attention-grabbing headlines.
You shared it, you gave them exactly what they wanted. There isn't some insidious plan to feminize men, there's an insidious plan to get clicks from people like you.
heels were actually invented by men for men. i think in medieval france? not sure.
is this a "short man" thing? Any tall man wearing these will look like a fool lol
It's almost like heels were invented in the 10th century by the Persians so your feet would stay in the stirrup or something.
Fun fact: high heels were invented for men.
