All women wear heels?

Hi Lovies,

So yesterday I was having a conversation with one of my co-worker's and she mentioned going to an out door get together and she threw heels on!? I was listening... She proceeded to mention that one of her friend said: "why are you always in heels" co- worker: " You are a GIRL and all girls should wear heels!".  I chuckled a bit and said, " I don't mind being in heels when I am out with my friends, but at work when we have to do 8-10hrs on our feet I LOVE to be comfortable."  Once I got home it totally blew my mind that some girls have that kink of mentality.

Reasons for wearing high heels, which are almost exclusively aesthetic reasons, include:

• They change the angle of the foot with respect to the lower leg, which accentuates the appearance of calves.
• They change the wearer's posture, requiring a more upright carriage and altering the gait in what is considered a seductive fashion.
• They make the wearer appear taller.
• They make the legs appear longer.
• They make the foot appear smaller.
• They may help shorter people use items that have been designed for those of a normal height, e.g. sit upright with feet on floor on chairs that would otherwise be too high, reach items on shelves, etc.
• -Reasons against wearing high heels, which are almost exclusively health and practicality reasons, include:
• • They can cause foot pain.
  • They increase likelihood of sprains and fractures.
  • They make calves look more rigid and sinewy.
  • They can create foot deformities, including hammertoes and bunions.(Need surgery)
  • They can cause an unsteady gait.
  • They can shorten the wearer's stride.
  • Altered forces at the knee caused by walking in high heels may predispose to degenerative changes in the knee joint.
  • Foot and tendon problems as listed below.
  • Women who wear high heels frequently have a higher incidence of degenerative joint disease of the knees. This is because they cause a decrease in the normal rotation of the foot, which puts more rotation stress on the knee.

Even Teddy is confused about them


As a women I love SHOES!!! I absolutely do, but as much as I love them I love comfort.  So, when I have to wear the heels I definitely have a wide selection(heels,wedges,flats, high, mid, low etc.).  Although, if you stop by to visit you will definitely see me in my 4'10 frame.  Tell me your thoughts on heels, do you always/never wear them? And what are some tricks aside from insoles, insteps etc. do you use to make them comfortable?
