A woman had a tough time walking back home in heels — her sweet boyfriend knew exactly what to do
Not all heroes wear capes, some wear red heels. A couple made waves on the internet after a video of the boyfriend walking in her partner’s heels turned heads with their loving relationship. TikTok user Tabitha Jo (@ttabithajo) posted a heartwarming snippet on her page that showed her boyfriend, Henry, walking the streets wearing a pair of heels. His bold feat amassed 1.6 million views and 235,000 hearts on the internet, and many cheers and claps from bystanders.
Hinting at the motive, Jo filmed herself donning white sneakers before turning the camera towards her gleeful partner, who seemed to be enjoying his glamorous moment. He elegantly posed in the red heels paired with a jacket and jeans. The creator tried to focus on the cute pump heels as Henry attempted to make a ballerina move. “Kings don’t let their queens walk home with a blister,” the overlay text revealed. Whereas Jo captioned the post with nothing but a “#demure” to take a lighthearted jab at the shy and modest version of her boyfriend.
Undoubtedly, people were impressed by both– Henry slaying the heels and his warmth for his girlfriend. “Why does he look so good in them?” said @thatfriendbhindthecam while @nelsmusai had a different take, “I would’ve cried cause he’s getting them wider.” “Does he feel bonita? Because he looks bonita,” mused @brilliantearth. Meanwhile, Pinterest (@pinterest) had a relatable insight to share. “The way he’s going to kick those off and say there’s no place like home,” the comment read.
“You have to get him his own pair now, I fear, because he slayed,” someone else (@robin_attempting_to_live) joked. One user (@britpppppppp) was curious about the shoe sizes of the couple. They said, “How so many men are the same shoe size as their girls is my question with this trend.” The creator responded, “We aren’t the same size, I don't know how he squeezed in but he did.”
Jo opened up to Newsweek about the night her boyfriend went viral on the internet. She said the couple were going to a dinner with his parents and had decided to walk to the restaurant. Jo, in her red heels, somehow made her way to the dinner but was not ready for another blister-laden walk back home. Enter her loving boyfriend, who wanted to help her out and prevent her from getting any more blisters. She figured calling an Uber would be the best option, but caught Henry already taking off his sneakers. "Before I could suggest calling an Uber, Henry was already removing his shoes and offering to wear mine home," Jo recalled.
A lucky woman, Jo said, she is used to receiving such warmth and acts of kindness from her partner. Once strolling through Las Vegas, she shared that Henry had “even opted for a pair with a slight wedge as he felt they offered better support.” As Jo walked home appreciating him, even strangers passing by noted his gesture and cheered for him. "He received a lot of smiles, claps, cheers, and even a few car honks as we walked through the busy River North area," she added.
