Default Re: "High Heels Are Fine For Men"

According to today's Daily Mail (UK), amongst the things 'going down' in popularity are what it calls 'Stack heels for men'. The item reads:

'Sarkozy does it; this week interiors duo Colin or Justin (we're not sure which) also admitted to it; and last week Dior did one that was 2 1/2" high. But. like any form of overt male vanity, we're still not convinced they can be anything other than unattractive and wrong.'

For those who don't know, Colin and Justin are a bitchy and fragrant Scottish twosome who have a certain following in interior design matters but are hardly fashion leaders. I have failed to find any reference to either wearing any type of high heels and doubt that their alleged preferences will sway many men either way [there may be an innuendo or three in there if you look carefully] and I suggest we ignore them, and also what the Mail says (and ungrammatically, to boot ).

And why all these references to 'stack' heels (i.e. heels made with or simulating a stack of thinnish layers of leather) when neither what the short-arsed Frog was wearing nor the Diors are that type of shoe? True stack heels, high or not, don't currently seem very common anyway on men's shoes, or am I missing something?
