High heels are ladder to self-confidence, businesswoman says

When Suzanne Fetting sees women shuffling down sidewalks in heels way too high for them, it makes the confidence coach crazy.

"Instead of lifting their feet up and planting them gracefully, they do a little thing called shuffling," says Fetting, a former runway model. "It drives me nuts."

And if they aren't dragging their feet forward, they wear the heels the way they wear running shoes. "They don't have that sexy sway that you get when you activate the hips," she says, adding you have to do that if you wear five-inch stilettos.

Fetting, who'll be speaking this weekend at the West Coast Women's Show in Abbotsford, has a closet filled with five-inch stilettos. She adores high heels. She has Fluevogs, Iron Fists, and lots of other styles. At five-foot 10, she already towers over most women, but she likes the feeling heels give her.

"I know when I put on high heels, I feel more confident," she says.

After years of watching Vancouver gals wobbling along in their heels, Fetting decided to take matters into her own hands. She set up a business called High Heel Appeal and offers classes to anyone who wants to learn how to strut her stuff like a runway pro. Why?

She’ll get no argument from me.

I love watching a woman strut along with confidence and hips swaying.

Then you have the hunched over females walking flat footed looking like they are shuffling along like granny.

Classes on how to wear high heels? So sorry I’ll be having to miss those - conflicts with my “How to button your shirt” class.

When I went to college in the mid-1980s, I watched girls literally drag their feet across the floor, making sound as they did.

I could not understand it.

When I saw them in heels, I knew they were not self-confident women who knew how to ‘strut’.
