Shoes of each and every style, material and maker are adored by women, period. But it is the heels which are most coveted. They are everywhere. On magazines, posters, calendars, the net, movies, dangling around someone’s neck in small precious metal versions – on women’s (and a few men’s) feet. No pop celebrity will likely be captured dead not having her skinny Manolos.
What’s in the shoe? Maybe, it was initially designed to protect someone’s feet but shoes have started out its handy purpose to its current grand heights. Oftentimes, the higher, the better. Heels aren’t just ladies shoes that women simply put on. It’s a statement, symbolic of authority, social stature, femininity, empowerment and joy.
Like cultures and culture, this obsession with high heels gets passed on through generations and just how this occurs is simply a girl growing up observing her mother or her favorite actress flaunt high heels as though they were jewelry. The fascination with shoes is and acquired taste and it is a consensual decision that ladies make to take part in educating the youth.
Women tend to put them on for a lot of reasons and comfort may not even be on the list. Some theorize that heels were invented to punish people who wear them and this theory carries a valid point.
Many accidents and injuries have been caused by these shiny elegant items that women love a lot. Does that discourage a lady from putting them on? Definitely not. Instead you may hear her say that wearing high heels requires practice and true skill; much like how guns which are supposed to protect can kill, heels which were made to make you feel much like the true goddess that you are can hurt if you’re not careful. Is this fact why they are also called “killer shoes”? However, it was also declared heels once had very practical purpose: Egyptian butchers worn it to have their feet off of the gore in the workplace, riders of horses worn it to grip their stirrups better. It simply evolved, that’s all.
For smart women, it’s just a matter of choosing wisely. There are high heel shoes that offer more comfort than others; those with chunkier heels often provide more stability. Additionally it is sensible to know your limits, a 5-inch pair of stilettos may look breathtaking on the rack but let’s face it not everyone is developed to withstand the challenges of walking around in those sexy yet potentially dangerous heels.
