Shoes what the ... ?
HarrietHomeowner   Intermediate Member since 1/13/10 Posts: 672	Login to reply to this post Like this post Date: 10/10/11 1:05 PM I am astounded at the current fashion for very high heels. I went to DSW today and poked my feet into a couple pairs of 4- or 5-inch (at that point, who's counting?) heels just to see what they felt like. Yikes! How can anyone stand in those things, let along walk? The store did have a variety of heel heights and styles, but the dressiest shoes were all of this very high heel type. Add some platforms to those, and you might need dramamine. So do you wear these? If so, how? Because I don't want to end up in the hospital, this is what I bought (I'm very happy with them, too): Clog Patent MJs

Really, what's with the uber-high heels these days. I saw a woman wearing sky high chunky wood heel sandals with short short denim cutoffs and some tunic-ish tee...at the grocery store coffee shop place, in the morning, with her 8-10 year old son. Her outfit looked ok overall, she had lovely legs, but why did she need to wear those shoes to go to the grocery? With tight cutoffs? With her young son? I watched her clomp around getting her coffee, hope my mouth wasn't hanging open in my amazement. ------ Liz thefittinglife.blogspot.com

They are the 2011 version of bound feet. (I got the clogs in black, btw.)

When I was younger around the age 20 My husband and I went on a trip. I found such shoes sky high 4" heels side stepped. My ankle hurt for a week. No more. I like the patent Mjs I'm going to look at dws shoes here to see if they have them. -- Edited on 10/10/11 8:02 PM -- ------ Galatians 5:22-23 The Spirit produces love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, humility, and self-control.

They are "drop me at the door, I'm not walking from the parking space three blocks away" shoes, and for that, they're fine. If we're in Vegas or New Orleans (or other cities where we're walking all over to get to dinner/out), I wear cute, comfortable shoes (emphasis on the comfortable, less on the cute) and keep the heels in my bag, then change shoes once we're nearby/inside. If you can stay off concrete/stone it helps a lot.

I have "walking shoes" and "hot girl shoes" to be worn from the front door to the table and back. I have gotten accustomed to wearing really high heeled platform wedges and I find them to be comfortable. I will suffer a bit for fashion but not too much. Then again, if I'm going to get all made up and put on a girdle and hose, I'm already uncomfortable, I might as well go the extra mile. Knowing that I look good can take away the uncomfortable for a little while. ------ Melody http://crazedsewer.blogspot.com/ hmmmm...

The upper part is black leather. Beige pair Both of these use a heavy solid material that makes up the platform/heel that is than covered in cork material. They are comfortable to wear for about 5-6 hours and the key is to take smaller shorter steps. This is why I sew, to be able to buy great shoes. ------ Janome10001, Babylock ESG3, Brother ULT 2001, White 634D serger, Pfaff 1472, Singer featherweight, Singer 14T957Dc, Bernina FunLock 009DCC coverlock, Brother PQ1500S, Janome CP900.

I broke my toe in the spring and was lost without being able to wear heels. I wear the 3 or 4 inch heels to work. I have a couple pairs of 4 -5 inch dressy shoes. I think fit is really key to being able to walk well in them. The need to be snug so you don't feel like your are slipping out of them. I'm going to wear them until I no longer can....lol ------ http://kimsewsilly.blogspot.com/
