Yeah men in the middleages had some serious problems. ruffles and frills with silly shoes. actually it wasn’t so much men rather the femine inbred artistocrat class of man. Still like the find the guy that asked his wife how he looked in a necktie, so I could hang him by it..
For RIDING ^sure^ (and if yer a cowboy, some ^roping^ heels’d probably be a good idea) – but for the kinda footwork involved hand-to-hand(?) combat, NOT so likely.
High-heeled boots were actually invented by Persian/Turkish horsemen to more easily stand up in stirrups (look at modern cowboy boots). European aristocrats started wearing them because it was so rugged and manly. And then Fop culture got ahold of them and the heels started getting taller and thinner and impractical…er.

What has been seen, can’t be unseen.

How is that any worse than those hideous polka-dotted leggings he used to wear?
Bratty Roger
Those HEELS!

Strangely enough, high heels and hose were men’s fashion first. Women just co-opted them.
Bratty Roger
Maybe for ^”fashion”^, but I don’t think wearing those kinda heels while trying to run around, or fight, in heavy armor would be a good idea.

To be fair, he almost pulls off the look. 🙂

Just needs to lose the polka-dot shirt

Oh boy.. this isn’t an obvious bit of disturbing foreshadowing… 🙂

I’d say April Fools for today’s page, but given his track record, this seems normal for Thane. Or this whole world. 😛
Darnel

this guy just goes from “adventure” after “adventure”.

We ever going to see his adventure with the ‘ruffiians’ and their now-halfnaked leader Lara?

Not _exactly_, but stick around and you’ll find out more about the aftermath of that encounter. 😉

Or become a member and get a sneak peek at strips. I am anxious to see what happens when something “special” is used (and hopefully backfires) 🙂
Kol Drake
Why does the phrase ‘Gay Caballero’ come to mind?

Here’s hoping he becomes a cross dresser hehe

Actually, high-heeled boots are perfectly workable for riding. Though ideally you’d want a version with a wide heel rather than a spike.
