24 hours in stilettos: 1 mans story

BY admin on July 17, 2015

While some ladies can’t even fathom a day without heels, what happens when the man behind “Bro Bible” spends an entire day walking in stilettos? Needless to say, this social experiment lends to some hilarious results. An average morning for Brandon Cohen usually would mean sliding into a pair of boat shoes or lacing up a pair of sneakers, this day was unlike any other.

In an attempt to explore gender roles and a mix of curiosity and bordeom, Cohen whips out a box from Torrid containing a pair of high black stilettos. After zipping them up, he struggles to walk out of his apartment and to the elevator, hinting at an interesting day to follow. You can almost feel Cohen’s pain as he wobbles down the street, barely able to put one foot in front of the other. Some pedestrians oggle, others stop and take pictures and a few even walk to the edge of the sidewalk.

After an amusing commute to work, in heels nonetheless, Cohen arrives at his office. He says he feels judged and just wants to look good as he awkwardly strides to the coffee machine. By lunchtime, he makes the mistake of parking on level 3 of a parking garage, suffering as he dangerously walks down the stairs. He feels like he can relate to some of the female stiletto-wearing population, stating that he sees why everyone wants to park by the exits, and ultimately really wants to kill everyone. Sitting outside of a Panera bread, Cohen gets heckled by some skateboarding teens and questioned by a passing homeless man. Not all of the feedback was negative, a girl approached him and complimented his choice on heels.

After arriving at the mall, Cohen gets followed by a flock of intrigued Asian women, smiling and pointing at his kawaii footwear. Up next on the agenda was a trip to a bar and trying out some epic dance moves, but this “Bro Bible” video correspondent tossed in the towel early. Maybe we can convince some of the other men in our lives to give it a try, and quite literally “step into someone else’s shoes” for day. Hats off and respect to this hysterical young man for turning the tables and experimenting with heels.
