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?

I've seen women with pretty faces slog through the sludge that's called snow in high heels. I've spent time in Spain where the girls wear cowboy boots (quite elegantly). I'll take sensible.

I'm with you. I'm tall (also 5'10"), but NEVER liked heels. Comfort is everything.

Sorry about your feet and knees.
Sneakers are better for running up and down stairs.

I’ve only worn heels about 10 times in my life. I wear sneakers everwhere and tell people I’m an artist.

even women with great calves look better in heels... in my opinion... I image there would be a few exceptions.

And your back, and your knees. Talk about shuffling when you get older.

Wore three inch heels all of my working days at offices. I looked gorgous. But I paid for it and now my feet hurt if they think of high heels.
