Most men and a few women just don't get why we wear 5-inch heels when there is a perfectly good pair of tennis shoes (or 6 or 7 pair) sitting in our closet. I would really like to let the shoes speak for themselves.
For example, these little mamas make my heart go pitter-pat.

Can you hear the angels singing? That's just me? Alrighty then. Let's try again.
Who can resist the perfect platform in Tiffany blue? A stronger woman than me, I'll tell you. (Sigh.)
How about these? Do these little beauties do it for you?
Let's just say I wouldn't kick them out of bed for eating crackers. But apparently, beauty alone just doesn't explain the obsession for the non-shoe lover. So here is my attempt at explaining to you non-believers why the shoe-obsessed will suffer nerve damage, the occassional blister and plain old pain for a really good pair.
1. A heel makes me tall in a room full of 6-foot male lawyers and I really want to look them in the eye when I take them down. Heh. Heh.
2. Shoe shopping makes me giddy.
3. I may "outgrow" a dress, but my shoes will always fit.
4. A good heel will make a woman's legs look good instantly, even on a fat day.
5. They make me feel pretty.
6. Cinderella's slippers took her from drudgery to royalty. I don't know a single pair of clogs that can make that claim.
7. A really cute shoe can instantly jazz up an otherwise blah outfit and I really hate blah.
8. A spiky heel makes a great weapon if needed in a pinch.
9. A chunky heel makes a great hammer if needed in a pinch.
10. Dorothy Gale saved a whole kingdom with her ruby reds. The shoes worn by the Wicked Witch of the West? Not so cute. Perhaps her fate would have been different had she owned a pair of Manolos. Just saying.
So what's your take? Are you a stiletto girl (or boy - who am I to judge)? If so, why do you wear them despite the pain? If not, why are you heel-adverse? Leave your comments below and answer the shoe poll over yonder to the right!

Love your blog! I am a heel girl! While reading this in bed my husband inquired what I was doing, I nonchalantly replied, "porn"... he said "no you are not" and I said, "um yes, I am at least women porn" and he said, "SHOES!" ;o)
ReplyDeleteI don't wear heels much, no real call for them in my line of work. Although I have run wreckers in a pair of hills and brad Samantha make quite a bit of fun at me, but I did get the job done..lol I must say tho I put on a pair of hills I automatically feel sexist I think a woman walks sexist in them too, not that I'm checking em out..LOL
