I don't think I know anyone who dances in 6" heels and I'm not sure that it's even possible to walk in them. I have seen a discussion of fetish footwear that claims a 6" heel is possible for a woman, so it must be possible for a man (the critical factor is foot length) but the whole point of fetish footwear is that you can't really walk in it. Lady Gaga's shoes aren't really relevant here because they are platforms, while this doesn't look like it (Unless the whole of the toe is just a disguised platform block, which would work.)TCWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13053437802878060775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-839525549786745818.post-22264310780163854192014-10-26T16:42:19.362+00:002014-10-26T16:42:19.362+00:00I absolutely agree, it's a fascinating mystery...I absolutely agree, it's a fascinating mystery.

If it is a single one it may have been made for a man with a deformity - a short or withered leg (polio anyone ?) in order that he might stand level with a normal shoe on the other foot. I cannot see how anyone could balance with both heels that high. I think we forget how much in the 18th C, and before and after, people were at the mercy of medical mishaps that can be cured or at any rate alleviated now.Mary Seymournoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-839525549786745818.post-51017573240931571332014-10-23T18:07:54.389+01:002014-10-23T18:07:54.389+01:00The perfect shoe for a rake!The perfect shoe for a rake!Catherine Curzonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05763562687608837832noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-839525549786745818.post-23616065972990122082014-10-23T18:07:39.999+01:002014-10-23T18:07:39.999+01:00Or she will wish she had!Or she will wish she had!Catherine Curzonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05763562687608837832noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-839525549786745818.post-77947949781673956182014-10-23T18:07:29.824+01:002014-10-23T18:07:29.824+01:00I don't think I could even sit down in it!I don't think I could even sit down in it!Catherine Curzonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05763562687608837832noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-839525549786745818.post-71277393886784193362014-10-23T15:10:36.493+01:002014-10-23T15:10:36.493+01:00Certainly an advantageous shoe.
