AndWhyNot? Posted January 28, 2011 Posted January 28, 2011 Lenny Kravitz, rockin the wedge boots and leather pants. What do you think everybody? I voted looks hot, but apparently I am in the People Magazine minority. http://stylenews.peoplestylewatch.com/2010/09/24/lenny-kravitzs-knee-high-wedge-boots-love-em-or-hate-em/
canadianbeaver17 Posted January 28, 2011 Posted January 28, 2011 I like it. I saw it before. The boy definitely has his own style - some like it, some hate it. I say go for it!
dblair Posted January 28, 2011 Posted January 28, 2011 Well, I wouldn't be at all surprised by the negative reactions if this was just any anonymous heeler, but I am a bit surprised that people are dumping on a famous and respected celebrity like Lenny for his look in this photo. After all, it seems that most people have a different set of rules and boundaries for celebrities than they do for average people. Just look at rock icons from the 70s like David Bowie. Perhaps the masses are even less tolerant now than they were 40 years ago. I'm sure that Lenny doesn't care though, and neither should we. Moral of the story: Just do your thing and don't worry about pleasing the masses
Kittyinboots Posted January 28, 2011 Posted January 28, 2011 "Are You Gonna Go My Way?" Yes, of course. If rock stars like Lenny Kravitz can set a fashion trend, then hopefully men in high heeled boots will be more commonplace. Rock those boots Lenny!
roniheels Posted January 28, 2011 Posted January 28, 2011 Hopefully more celebrities such as Lenny will express their fashion freedom and wear high heeled footwear with their outfits. We can only hope and time will tell.
LuvHHBoots Posted January 28, 2011 Posted January 28, 2011 I think its cool he's wearing them but I just don't like the style of the boots.
heelman500 Posted January 28, 2011 Posted January 28, 2011 Absolutely fabulous that he is wearing those boots, Ignore the press and the herd of "normals" and strut your stuff lenny! Bowie, Boy George, Adam Ant, Elton John and others have all wore heels and yet no one commented on the footwear..... I think that heels for men is coming onto the style radar more and more, so lets have some other celebs following the trend!
Charlie Posted January 29, 2011 Posted January 29, 2011 Being a guy who wears high heeled western boots in all male mode I still have to say that I think he looks good. Nothing wrong with this style at all. Charlie Everything I say is a lie!.......I'm lying
PaulS Posted January 29, 2011 Posted January 29, 2011 I think the overall look is pretty cool for a rock musician, with the all-black, the shades, and the boots above all! A discussion point I would like to suggest, is the idea that, if anyone is going to blaze a trail for male high-heeled fashions, rock/heavy metal musicians might play a key part in leading that trend. Rock and metal music has previously included trends such as long permed hair, leather, eyeliner, etc. I witnessed at high school, some years ago, classmates experiencing harrassment purely for having long hair. This shows rock/metal trends go against the grain, and I wonder how far away rock musicians are from rounding their stage gear off with boots, spike heels, etc...?
PaulS Posted January 29, 2011 Posted January 29, 2011 I posted the following comment on the website in support of Lenny: Lenny Kravitz always looks cool in my opinion. It’s a little sad that some posters, who live in Western liberal democracies in the 21st century, feel they should tell Lenny what he should wear. ‘Live and let live.’ - Paul on January 28th, 2011 Above my comment was one from a female who likes the outfit, good on her, although there is still much to be done in battling prejudice judging by other posts. I will post my thoughts on this later when I'm not so busy at work...
wood&metal Posted January 29, 2011 Posted January 29, 2011 Those who make the negative comments are those who secretly wish they could wear that.... Never frown because you never know who is falling in love with your smile.

I remember when you could tell which kids did bad in school by who came back the following week with a butch haircut. This was a form of punishment at the time. Now all the kids wear butches. Either the style has changed or it's yet another indicator of the dumbing down of Amercia. LOL Rock musicians have been wearing heels for years. I personally met Randy Rhoads back in the day as my best friend is his half brother. I knew him before he was really famous. Randy was a few years older but I remember looking at one of his original Quiet Riot lp covers and seeing him and all the other guys in the band wearing heels. It was interesting to me because even that early on I was developing an interest and I mistakenly took this as "Cool! Men wear them too!". :-( Charlie Everything I say is a lie!.......I'm lying
