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?

Putting on a pair of heals after you take off you running shoes makes them look even better.

They also trash your feet, if worn regularly for a long time.

Did you notice that the skirts appear to be different lengths?

Nice ... I’d like to see a “boot” version of that, maybe 8” high. That would provide some abrasion and thermal protection to the ankles and lower legs.
