One Vogue writer takes on the new menswear trend to know: shoes with a modest yet completely discernible heel.
The following day, I take the trend one step further with a pair for evening. The winners? Fabulous, sparkly
oxford lace-ups, which features about a two-inch stacked heel . Unlike the two sturdier boots before, these feel like aheel; they are narrow and the arch is more inclined. I put them to the test by sporting them for a busy evening of New York Fashion Week festivities. The sparkles are like a moth to a flame: people can’t help but comment on the shoes. Unassuming men in conservative suits stop to tell me they love the look, and wish they could “pull it off.
Dashing from one event to the next, I do find myself calling up more Ubers than I normally do. I quickly realize that navigating the cobblestone streets of Soho in heels is impossible. How do people do it? Carrie Bradshaw's easy stride was a boldfaced fraud, that’s for sure. I cling onto a friend's shoulder for stability. There is a bonus to the heel, however: at happy hour drinks, I easily grab the attention of a bartender, thanks to my now-towering height.
The final verdict? Men’s heels are much more of a commitment than my go-to sneakers, sure, but can give you that extra pep in your step. I found myself walking taller, and even feeling more confident along the way. Sometimes, I evendown a hallway at work, as though I was Bella Hadid. And that change of demeanor, at least for me, is worth the aching arches and pinched toes alone.
