Survey: Men would wear heels

Published: March. 9, 2009 at 2:14 PM

BEIJING, March 9 (UPI) -- A survey conducted by one of China's most popular Web sites indicates that many men would wear high-heels to experience the pains felt by significant others.

The online survey by 163.com attracted more than 3,000 responses, most of which were from men who said they would wear heels for their wives or girlfriends to demonstrate their love and understanding, Xinhua, China's official government-run news agency, reported Monday.

"I am worried whenever I see my wife wearing high-heeled shoes, because it seems to hurt so much," a husband from China's Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region said.

The Web site said the survey was inspired by U.S. anti-domestic violence movement Walk a Mile in Her Shoes.
