This week’s “In The Media” post is a bit different in that it is the story of a man’s passion for high heels. As a man who also likes to wear them, I can fully agree with a lot of what he says about them and why they are so enjoyable to wear.

How would you rate this post?
Well, I agree with most of his points, though I find the noise of heels to be a distraction and undesirable: there we are opposed. I have added softer sole surfaces on mine to reduce the racket.
I’m also not a huge fan of the noise of heels, but I know a lot of heel fans love it!
Heels sound is cool, but not in every situation. While hearing that outside is fine, then in stressful situations or places where you expect things to be quiet, this sound can be really distracting.
And definitely straight men might like heels, but they are just too afraid to try it for a longer than 5 minutes span, not even mentioning the bias you have to overcome to not feel ashamed. Author of that blog won that battle and that’s good.
