There are many beautiful high-heeled shoes. I think most of them are dangerous and a lot of women look stupid wearing them. There are some women who can pull it off and some high heels that are not killers. This isn’t one of them. Why would any woman want to do this to herself? Why hinder your movement? Why risk a broken leg which looks highly possible with these shoes? Why do woman fall for this nonsense?

Safety issues aside. I really think these shoes are cool. I like them.
I’m not so fond of the ropy type ones or wedges. I like the shiner kind. The rolled turn up under toe part on this thing would be very unstable I would think.
As a man I am hoping you have never worn high heels but can you just imagine walking around in these things for any length of time? Just because fashion dictates. How productive can that be?
Looks like a lethal weapon to me…

I thought that the platforms that we wore in 70′s/80′s were bad enough but those are not only ugly and expensive but will really ruin someone’s feet for life…
Is there no common sense anywhere?
