Cuban heel

With their combed down “long” hair and Cuban heels, they look like the future.

The hair and the suits, and I remember Cuban heel boots, and they had these guitars that we’d never seen before … and then they started singing.

When I go out, I find myself reaching for wine-colored suede ankle boots with a Cuban heel, as if to court the ecstasies of enchantment.

“Last Man Standing” pays specific tribute to Theiss in his “snakeskin vest and a sharkskin suit / Cuban heels on your boots”; the song recalls sweaty teenage gigs at the “black-leather clubs all along Route 9.”

Onstage, Mr. Malone wore bedazzled Cuban heels and a western-cut silk suit to sing his songs of upscale parties and untrue shorties.
