Dear folks,

I hope, that the 70's are also accepted as a topic of vintage fashion!

Surely you all remember the awful crazy platform boots of Abba, Elton John or Kiss. Typical for this time were these very thick platform soles with chunky heels. But the difference between the sole's height and heel's height was typically only a few centimeters or approximately 1 inch.

When this fashion faded away at the transition to the 80's a short period came up, where you could see platformless high heel boots for guys with high chunky heels up to 4'' and more. Especially rock musicians wore those weird boots. I believe, that was absolutely inacceptable for normal guys and that's presumably the reason why this fashion had only a very short survival time

.

My question:

Does anybody of you still remember this time? Has somebody worn such boots? What about pics?

Now I'm searching as a male high heel fan for similar boots in the internet.

Result: Nothing. Hence, further robbing the women's shelf :-)

Thankful for any hint
