Highsnobiety

One of the defining style stories of the 2010s was how sneakers, tracksuits, and sportswear subsumed fashion runways — and, subsequently — the mainstream.

As luxury consumers began to favor comfort and ease, elevated athleisure like Gucci tracksuits and Balenciaga runners soon became go-tos for the fashion week set. However, the needle is shifting again and athleisure is making way for a slicker, dressier aesthetic that has shot brands such as Bottega Veneta and Jacquemus to the top of the fashion pyramid. Heeled boots for men are back, too.

Interestingly, men have more options than ever when it comes to heeled boots. Naturally, the popularity of Maison Margiela's Tabi boot certainly helped lower the guards of guys who felt anxious about wearing shoes with a noticeable rise, while style icons like Timothée Chalamet, Jaden Smith, and Luka Sabbat have also helped normalize the idea of wearing elevated footwear.

The Tabi's return has burst the dam, and now men have a ton of heeled options to choose from. Find some of our favorites below.
