I love strong, beautiful feet that are functional. I despise things like Chinese foot binding, which makes “no sense” to people today, though currently in our culture many women are doing the nigh identical.
A small heel with a toe box that doesn’t deform is feminine and pretty. Marilyn Monroe didn’t wear four inchers. Sexy are ballet flats, many pretty flat sandals, and -— clean, pedicured, bare feet.
Right now we have famous people in four inch bone deforming (up the foot, leg, and SPINE) high heels traipsing like cows walking downhill on every stage. These shoes in my mind take women back to early Chinese culture. FOR WHAT EXACTLY are we women literally shackling ourselves? Where is the “empowerment” in being unable to move freely like men can, or to walk comfortably? Any women doing so are lying to themselves. No human being on a desert island seeking foot protection or even adornment would choose such monstrosities. You are shackled sheep. Be brave and buck this misogynist (probably thought of by gay men) trend.

All of which brings up the classic question:
Why do women wear high heels?
The answers in response to that classic question are typically as varied as they are numerous.
