Brandon Cohen, a Los Angeles-based video correspondent for BroBible, set out to wear heels for an entire workday to show what 'wimps' women are, documenting his entire experience in a newly-released video clip. However, his plan started to go awry the moment he traded his usual comfy boat shoes for strappy stilettos, confessing that he was in total agony as soon as he put the heels on.
'Oh god,' he says in the video shared on BroBible's YouTube channel this week. 'I am already in so much pain. It's astounding.'
In the clip, Brandon begins his morning getting ready and slipping on the high heels at 8:30am. He hobbles to the elevator in his building, wobbling around and looking like a newborn fawn that is standing for the first time.
Unsurprisingly, the writer – who, apart from his heels, is clad in a normal ensemble of jeans and a T-shirt - gets plenty of stares as he walks out of his building as he grabs some coffee and heads to his car.
'Driving in Heels: The Brandon Cohen Story,' he jokes as drives to his office.
He gets a moment of relief when he sits down, but after he visits the water cooler he deduces that he is being judged over his appearance.
'I am getting the impression that my co-workers aren't respecting me much,' he tells the camera. 'It sucks I have to choose between being respected and looking good.'
Brandon adds: It's kind of a bummer. But this is my life for the day. It is tough to be a chick.'
And by the time 12:30 rolls around, he explains how wearing heels is negatively affecting his mood.
'I feel like people love to talk about how girls are kinda of like p***y sometimes and in b****y moods, and I completely get it right now,' he says. 'Like I want to kill everybody.'
When he comes back from lunch, he has to park on the third floor and take the stairs. However, Brandon didn't anticipate how difficult it is to teeter down a flight of stairs in sky-high stilettos.
'This is just not safe,' he says as he grips the railings with each hand.
Throughout the experiment, Brandon gets called out by numerous onlookers, including a group of teenage boys, and even a homeless man, for his choice of shoes, and many people in the LA streets stop to snap his picture when he is walking by.
'I need you guys to get the car,' he tells the camera crew while sitting a step. 'I am not going to be able to survive that walk again.'
At 2:30 he is wondering around the mall as a part of the challenge. 'I want death. Please let me die,' he says, clearly in pain.
Brandon also wears the heels to conduct interviews. 'I literally can't stand anymore. My legs are shaking,' he says. 'This is Chinese foot binding but in modern form.'
