High Heel Shoe blog

Whether women love to wear high heels or just love the attention they get when they do, many do not know how to walk in them properly or torture their bodies when they do.

With the growing trend of man’s fashion freedom around the world today, gay and straight men can now not only purchase high heels especially made for men in all different styles and heel heights, but they can now purchase lingerie in women’s styles especially made for men.

The company HommeMystere, located in Australia, said their under garments include “comfortable men’s panties that really do fit, bra straps that don’t fall off the shoulder, teddies that don’t ride up halfway through the night and quality soft fabrics that feel great for all day wear”.  This is not the first time a company has ventured out and tried to make items styled or designed after women’s clothing for the male gender, and maybe unlike all the others this one will make a go of it. Over the past few years more and more straight and gay men alike have ventured out from behind closed doors in high heels, and even some performers have been seen daunting these irresistible shoes. The cry for men’s fashion freedom has grown so loud that manufacturers have started to respond by creating products to suit this growing niche.

We here at The High Heel Store have also heard the calls and have helped many men find the product they desire. Whether it being a woman’s shoe in their size and style, or a high heel made for men, we strive to provide the product our customers want. Unfortunately we have also gotten feedback from several men that they do not want a high heel that is made for a man, but want a woman’s high heel that they could wear comfortably. We are eager to see how men react to this line. While most men who do have a passion and desire to wear women’s high heels and clothing, and they want it to be made for a woman, others choose to go with fit and as of now HommeMystere seems to be trying to fill the need of those men.

We have been busy doing a little fall cleaning — removing discontinued products and adding new and exciting styles to our collection. First off, we have added a new category, Alternative, to our selection. We have added items from Hades Footwear and Demonia. Hades offers a beautiful collection of intricately designed shoes made not only with elegance but a dangerously addictive sex appeal.

Many of the styles in this new category are considered "steampunk". Steampunk fashion has no set guidelines, but tends to synthesize modern styles influenced by the Victorian era. This style is often embellished with wildly creative bits of hardware or technology that might have been conceived by a Victorian mind. You will find rivets, spikes, gears, heels made of metal and many other intriguing items. We have shoes, from flats, creepers and platform heels, to ankle boots and knee high boots.

We have also been busy adding more selection to our costume footwear category. We have even more choices for the children, women and men to pick from. Halloween is only 47 days away. Most stores are already selling costumes and candy for the big night! Don’t wait too long to get the shoes or boots you need to totally set off your costume. Quantities are limited and if you wait too long you may not get the size or style that fits just perfectly. We have styles to go with just about any costume.

Attempting to forge a new image for himself and his country, North Korea’s youthful supreme leader Kim Jong Un is loosening the government’s grip on how women dress allowing women to wear pants, platform shoes and earrings. The only times women had been allowed to wear pants were when they were working in factories or in the fields. Any women walking the streets in pants were subject to a police warning or a penalty. According to a young woman who defected to the South in 2004, “If caught, sometimes they would cut your pants right there in public to make it into a skirt”. North Korean women spotted wearing skinny jeans and earrings often made news

in South Korean media because such items were known to be confiscated in the name of being too capitalist. But the trend has been visible in the past few years, and now platform shoes are in demand. Platforms ranked second out of 10 most popular items in North Korean society last year. The platforms shown to the left reportedly belonged to Kim Jong-il, who usually wore some sort of platform shoes due to his stature. Wearing of this type of footwear was commonplace hundreds of years ago as kings and nobility wore them.

Clothing isn’t the only lifestyle choice that the Kim Jong Un has reportedly eased up on: Kim apparently allows people to nosh on previously outlawed food, such as burgers and fries; encourages trips to zoos and amusement parks; and is steadily making more cell phones available.

Is it dangerous to wear high heels while driving? Many ‘experts’ will say yes. This past Sunday, the Mythbusters on the Discovery Channel tested the myth "Spike heels and platforms may be the height of fashion, but does fancy footwear put you at risk on the road?".

Here we have Adam and Jamie donning red patent 4" stiletto high heel pumps. Both drove the same course wearing their normal shoes and wearing each different style of footwear to be tested.

The team tested bulky snowshoes, silver glitter wedges, and high heel pumps.

Although it’s not news about high heels, we found it to be very interesting. Just reading the original news topic title had us imagining two women fighting over a pair! We should have remembered the other incident back before Christmas with the re-release of the Nike Air Jordan XI. It’s amazing how people will fight over a pair of shoes! The shoes in this incident were part of the Nike All-Star collection, with a galactic theme inspired by space exploration. Their release is designed as a nod to Orlando and Florida’s space industry.

The launch of an expensive new basketball shoe, the Nike Foamposite Galaxy, which was timed to Orlando’s hosting of the NBA All-Star Game this weekend, triggered a near-riot Thursday night at Florida Mall. The mall, which is located in Orlando, FL, had closed at 9 p.m. the crowd was asked to wait across the street when the mall closed at 9 p.m., but one person made a mad dash toward the Foot Locker where the shoes were to go on sale, and hundreds followed. The wild scene erupted about 9:45 p.m. as hundreds of people packed the mall’s parking lot, hoping to buy the new shoe at midnight. People drove in from Jacksonville and even flew in from New Haven to try to get a pair of these shoes.
