High Heeled Shoes
Posted by tom under: Fashions .
Most women these days are followers of the fashion industry. Putting together an outfit is good fun and with a few accessories, such as scarves, jewelry, hand bags, hats and shoes, one garment can be made into several outfits that are suited to day wear, evening wear or a day at the beach. One of our favorite accessories are shoes. The number and variety of shoe styles in your closet can make a lean wardrobe rich in fashion possibilities. In particular, high heels are beloved. Although men find high heel shoes quite eye-catching, women also love their high heels for purely selfish reasons.
It is true that women like the fact that high heel shoes make them look taller, slimmer and emphasize a curvy calf. A perfectly cute dress can look dowdy, worn with flats, whereas the very same dress takes on a vampy appearance when worn with high heels. If you’re going to the beach, a casual sandal with roping on a platform base and ribbon ties winding up the leg is the high heel shoe to wear with a summery dress. A pair of flip flop sandals or sneakers just doesn’t make the head-turning fashion statement. Remember the song by Credence Clearwater? “Put on your high heeled sneakers, ’cause we’re goin’ out tonight …” There you go.
Of course most men think that women are buying high heeled shoes just to please them and though this may be true, up to a point, it is also true that women wear high heels to show off their legs as well as their costume when other women glance at them to see if they look as good. Women compete with other women for the men’s attention.
Shoes with spikes are the epitome of the high heeled shoe and men love spikes. Women do wear these just to please their man. It’s amazing that women are willing to endure the pain caused by wearing them. No one would go for a walk in the park in such a shoe. Spikes are part of what keeps podiatrists in business, squishing the ball of the foot into an anatomical nightmare position. Worn regularly over a period of years, these good lookers can send you to surgery to correct the damage!
So you can rely on the fact that women will continue to wear high heel shoes and suffer in the name of vanity. We all want to look good, so what’s a girl to do? High heels are an essential accessory in our closets. Remember Imelda Marcos? She had over six hundred pairs of shoes.
