Rob Posted April 8, 2009 Posted April 8, 2009 Hi All, I came across a picture of Robert Downey Wearing heels for the filming if Iron Man 2 in todays Daily Mirror, and a web search turned up these articles: Fashion Indie Article Radar Online Article More Pictures I've also attached a few pics. below The last one with Gwyneth Paltrow gives an indication of why he may be wearing them, rather than a fashion choice. Unfortunately the article in the Daily Mirror ridiculed him (as well as pics of Simon Cowell and Nicolas Sarkozy wearing smaller heels).
crotchboots-m Posted April 8, 2009 Posted April 8, 2009 the general public has no franchise on stupidity in this regard. the press has always been known to be snide when it suits there twisted commercial desires(i.e...drum up sensationalistic garbage...the more untrure the better). so when one of those rags folds up shop i dont cheer,but i cant say that it bothers me all that much
highheeltrained Posted April 9, 2009 Posted April 9, 2009 in all honesty they arn't that tall. pretty much like normal guy shoes. the heel is maybe at most 2 inchs with like an inch platform so maybe a 1 inch heel arch at most.
Thighboots2 Posted April 9, 2009 Posted April 9, 2009 HHT, I beg to differ on the heel height, but concur on the platform. Those heels are more like 3.5", just look at my avatar which are 7cm heels/no plat and look at the arch area. This is similar to the arch on RD's shoe without the platform. They do look like very plain versions of the shoes I used to wear in the 70's though. Yet another glimmer of light at the end of our tunnel. Simon. Are you confusing me with someone who gives a damn?
William Posted June 10, 2009 Posted June 10, 2009 I agree, those are at least 3" heels. And, they look great on him! His slacks are perfect to wear, showing a bit of the heel (and a very nice ass, another great reason to wear heels, btw).
Maximilian Posted June 19, 2009 Posted June 19, 2009 My guess is that he's wearing them for specific scenes with his co star Gwyneth P. She's taller them him without heels and her character wears at least 5 inch heels so there you have it. Honestly, those boots don't match the outfit for the character he's playing so I'm pretty sure RDJ is wearing them for specific scenes where those boots won't even show on the camera. Maybe he likes heels when he's himself though...
Dawn HH Posted June 20, 2009 Posted June 20, 2009 Besides that---it appears that Gwyneth might have a slight platform built into her shoes also. More power to him, I say. Cheers--- Dawn HH High Heeled Boots Forever!
