It's only the look that matters, ladies!!

Personally, I prefer my pretty feet to stilettos.

[PaulaB]

I wear heels and yes

by the end of the day...I'm paying

for it (hubby has to rub my feet for an hour at night afterwards) ...but it's true

they look so nice and really

make tanned summer legs look striking....

when my CEO and I have a major meeting

I always try and wear them.

[Mr. Jeeves]

Most women (73 percent) have never had their shoe size measured.

I suspect that might be a significant part of the problem - wearing shoes that are too small for reasons of vanity. The height of the heel might be less of an issue than the "squash factor" affecting the toes. ;)

I only own one pair of heels, and I have worn them only twice. Both times were to weddings and my feet were killing me afterwards. I wore flats at my own wedding. Not only are heels very uncomfortable, but I also have great difficulty walking in them, due to a slight orthopedic problem I have. Heels look very nice to be sure, but I don't think they're worth the pain and inconvenience. Leave it to a bunch of gay male fashion designers to come up with something so uncomfortable for women.

I'm so uncoordinated!

I don't trust myself in high heels.

I can't believe no one has pinged you to this thread yet.

Personally I thing women pressure each other to wear these ankle breakers. I think if women collectively decided to stop wearing these things the typical male would respond "Uh, OK dear" and hardly notice.

I have legs already and I being a licensed massage therapist I know what happens to bodies that are forced into unnatural positions......it may look good now...but it will cost you something........Hi, Doc P....

Give me my old flip flops any day. Waaaaay back in the 60's we wore "high" heels with pointed toes. I sit here today wondering HOW???? *~*

[FeliciaCat]

I will give up my stilettos when they pry them off my cold, dead feet......

[CheneyChick]

I like my combat boots.

[LilDarlin]

OK...now yer makin' me mad.

Recipe for wearing high heels....

1. Get your legs in shape...particularly your calves and the muscles that run along the front of your shins...BEFORE you attempt to wear these!

2. Try on as many pairs of these as you possible can until you find the perfect fit. The excuse of "they'll stretch after you wear them a few times." is just that - an excuse. They MUST fit perfectly in the store.

3. 4 to 6 inch heels are best...anything higher is a waste.

4. After wowing your sweety during a hot night...have your sweety give you a nice foot rub after removing each shoe.

5. Put them back on (with or without sheer nylons) for some very interesting and highly provocative bed time activities.

6. Most important - NEVER, NEVER, NEVER wear with pantyhose....unless your sweety "brightens" at the mention!
