Would Your Man Wear These?  |
| |
| While doing a bit of browsing I came across an article about the latest craze from famed women's shoe designer, Manolo Blahnik. He has introduced a line of men's footwear that is unusual to say the least. They feature slingbacks-yes, I did say slingbacks, for men. Somehow, I just don't see this new fashion trend taking off among ordinary men. So, I would like for you to take a look and tell me what you think of one example, please. | | Manolo Blahnik Shoes | | | | |

| | I can say for sure my man would not wear these and I guess I can also say I am glad. He says no one ever looks at your shoes, but if he were wearing these I am sure they would. | | | | | | |

| | I heartily agree with you, kykidd. Some things are a bit too extreme. | | | |

| | Hmm ... looks like less leather for more money to me! I would not wear these shoes because they would be pretty useless at keeping out the cold and wet (which is surely one reason why we wear shoes). They would also (inevitably) incite comments from friends and colleagues on the lines of "You need to see a shoe repairer" or "Cutting down on shoe leather, are we?" Goodness me! Where will this lead? Decollete frilled shirts? Above the knee pinstripe pants? Slashed sleeves? These shoes would need a bit of a heel, really, in order to best display a well-turned calf. As a matter of fact, fashion does go in cycles and the male dress of earlier centuries was much more rich and colourful than it is today (and has been for the last 200 years or so). I see no reason why males should always be the dowdies but maybe the time is not right yet! | | | | | | |

| | I am very familiar with the fashion trends in menswear throughout history, owlwings, and you are quite right. There has always been "dandies" who choose to dress in an attention-getting style, but i just don't see a lot of men rushing out to buy these shoes. | | | |

| | I don't know. I could totally see my husband thinking they were cool and wanting a pair. He is a bit crazy like that. | | | | | | |

| | Well, Aurone, Mr. Blahnik must have felt that there was a viable market for his products out there, LOL. | | | |

| | I really like them for casual wear. Hard to imagine how they would look on a man that wears a suit. My husband wouldn't wear them with his office attire and when he's not at work, he's in tennis shoes. | | | | | | |

| | I would think they could only appeal to those men who are on the cutting edge of fashion, carolbee, such as models and some actor-types, etc. | | | |

| | I think you're right, dloveli. I stand by my original opinion that they would only appeal to men who run in certain circles. | | | |

| | They might become a trend within a certain sector of society, mengchuijie, like the rich and famous or those who like to keep up with the latest trends. | | | |

| | I had to go into your profile and click the discussion as I couldn't see the picture from my email notification and when I clapped eyes on them the first thing I said was OMG! They are hideous! I wouldn't even give them to the dog to chew on! If these are fashion? Then the fashion world has swallowed some illegal substance. Yewwww, vulgar and hideous are definitely two words I would describe them. As for wearing them? I think you know my answer on that score ;0) | | | | | | |

| | The article did show a few more examples, wolfie, and these were the best that I saw. I don't think the average men would take them seriously at all. | | | |

| | Well they would go with my miniskirt and tights! haha It just goes to show that most male designers are very feminine, shall we say, and like nothing better the things that girls like. Anything to be outrageous and catch the attention of the media. All good clean fun really! | | | | | | |

| | I've often wondered why it is that women follow the rules of fashion as dictated mostly be the male designers, smacksman. Some of the styles they come up with look hideous. | | | |

| | yup I'd wear these, but not if I had to pay an arm and a leg for them. They would be a good lounging shoe for in the house. I doubt they'd be much good in the snow or wet weather. Bring them on, but at a decent price! | | | | | | |

| | They sure look funny. I don't think any of the males I know would appreciate these. They would look funny in it. Actually, I had a good laugh imagining each of them in it. And they don't look that strong either. I don't think they would last long on an average boy in his early teens. :) Quite interesting, though. | | | | | | |

| | I think they are just another way to push the envelope, positive. People are being asked to determine just how much they are willing to endure. | | | |
