What does it feel like to be a man in heels? These four British men from Stylist took on the challenge and the results are fascinating.

Heels can transform any outfit. They can make a woman feel sexier, give greater height, and they can even be a great confidence booster.  But anyone who wears high heels will tell you, they can be anything but comfortable, especially if you don’t know how to walk in them. They can leave you with sore feet, cause you to trip, and even make you walk in an awkward position.


But regardless of the many disadvantages of high heels, some companies still have it as part of their dress code to have women wear heels to work, of which failure to do so can result in suspension. This was seen in the recent case where a woman, Nicola Thorp, was sent home from work because she did not wear heels. Fortunately for her, she got over 90,000 people to sign a petition to have the policy scrapped by the company.


Inspired by that story, Stylist, a London fashion publication, took a drastic measure to show why heels should not be part of the mandatory dress code for work. The publication asked men in their office to wear high heels for a day. “It's still legal to make women wear heels to work in the UK. So we asked the men in our office to do it too,” the publication wrote on Facebook.


One thing is clear from the video, no one should ever be forced to wear heels.
