Men in Manolos?

Manolos for men.jpgWe’ve often heard guys lament that they have so many less fashion options than their girlier counterparts.


To be honest, we don’t think this particular injustice will ever change, but it looks like at least one designer is trying his hardest-

Manolo Blahnik is designing shoes for men!

The L.A. Times got a sneak peek of a few pairs, at left. Needless to say, we’re hoping these are the most flamboyant of the bunch.

It’s clear that guys have painfully few options when it comes to high-quality and fashionable footwear. And while we like the idea of more off-beat shoe options for our boyfriends, we’re not so into open-toe, suede slingbacks (for them) either.

Incidentally, if the leopard print sandals come in a mens’ size 6, we might be willing to shop the collection…

What’s a guy to do?

i would wear the red ones, but the thought of the first two, delicate, womanly shoes on a man's gross, hairy, wide feet make me literally want to vomit. --B

I mean, this is just generally a bad idea, unless the "gay men who want to wear shoes that look like women's shoes but don't just buy women's shoes" market is expanding much more rapidly than I thought.

Also, it's *fewer* options, not *less* options, when you're talking about nouns that can be counted individually.
