With Marco Rubio lo gone from the 2016 Presidential race and Harry Styles off dressed in World War II fatigues, it was only a matter of time before some other dude picked up where they left off, taking over the coveted role of "famous guy who wears high-heeled boots with pointy toes."
Justin Bieber, who's been seen strutting his stuff 'round New York City the past few days wearing destroyed skinny jeans, a long black henley top, a flannel vest, has claimed this title by finishing his look with a pair of classic Saint Laurent Chelsea boots with 1.6 inch stacked heels — retail value, $895.

Seasonal appropriateness aside — it's been in the high 80s and 90s in NYC — his getup is a pretty slick, early fall look. I actually really like the fact that he (read: his stylist, Karla Welch) chose to incorporate the rocker-ish Chelseas with the pop star's current grunge aesthetic, instead of trying to channel Styles's mod-skinny jeans situation, or Rubio's mock neck sweater and dress pants look. (That last part was a joke.) He's really making it work. I mean I wish I could afford those booties.
Of course, while Biebs may by the latest modern man to sport the height-boosting style, he's in good historical company: King Louis XIV of France was practically the Carrie Bradshaw of the 17th century, and musicians like David Bowie and Prince made man-heels cool again in the 1970s and '80s. Also Pee-wee Herman. Nothing puts a little extra pep in your step like a fine pair of big shoes.
