Ironic that she was there to deliver a speech on women’s equality and then fell due to wearing high heels.

Women will never understand not to wear heels when crossing the lawn.

No, the problem is walking around on the heel ratgher than putting all of your weight on the balls of your feet.

Most women walk around like cows on stilts using the heel of the shoe as the first thing that comes down onto the ground.

Walk toe first and this problem goes away.

There is a brief moment in the video when she looks somewhat uneasy as she begins to walk on the lawn. Every woman who has worn heels knows walking on soft, wet lawn can be hazardous to your health...and can ruin expensive shoes. Her Prada or Jimmy Choo’s might be gone to shoe heaven.
