He is a fashion journalist. Saw this in today's Observer. The sort of boots I see women wearing all the time. Not sure I hugely like them but they would be very ordinary or normal for women. He's wearing them as if they are similarly ordinary for men.

Quite funky. I saw a similar pair on asos today. Still a little 'fringy' for men , i think... but still great to see.

Looks like a good outfit to me, the platform heels look rugged and powerful....

I’m no fan if platforms, but heeled ankle boots seem perfectly feasible to me

Reminds me of late 1970's men's disco platform shoes.

The front platform is very different that all my platform shoes (and I like platforms!). Notice how far back it protrudes.  To me it looks about an inch too long.

These shoes look terrible to me, like a medical shoe to rectify a bone/leg issue.
