We Submit Sexy Heels
Eric McCoy
Sexy heels! - Something that fashion dictates and foot
specialists forbid. Almost every woman would have used or wanted
to use one at some time in her life. Why would so many women be
sold on to uncomfortable shoes with heels over three inches in
height? To start with, a high-heeled shoe changes the way a
woman walks, making her sway her hips and assume postures that
can be enticing. High heels are also a fashion statement that
few women can resist.
Origins of the sexy heel
Would you believe that today's high heels had their ancestry in
humble riding boots that riders wanted to make more functional?
This gave way to a sort of fashion among the nobility in France
and other countries whereby men of high rank and noble birth
started wearing high-heeled shoes (The term "well-heeled"
actually has its origins in this practice.) The credit for
introducing it as a women's fashion perhaps goes to a diminutive
French noble woman, who used it to enhance her physical stature.
After a period of hibernation following the French revolution,
high-heels resurfaced in the fashion world in the late 1800s and
have since held a firm foothold.
What makes heels so sexy?
There are many reasons why high-heeled shoes appeal and are
considered sexy. Here's a sample that includes some of these
reasons.
· The most obvious reason is that high heels make a person look
taller than she is. Whether this adds to the sexy look is of
course a matter of individual perspective.
· High heels accentuate the appearance of the calves because of
the elongated angle between the foot and the lower leg
· High heels push out a woman's chest giving her an "animal
mating" posture
· The buttocks are pushed backwards, causing the hips to sway
more
· Very often the sole of the foot is visible adding to the sexy
look
If they're all that great, then what prevents some women from
wearing these?
There are number of disadvantages and discomforts that women
wearing high heels are subjected to. Some of these include:
· Causes pain in the foot, particularly if worn for long periods
· Restricts the wearer's movement and shortens stride
· Makes running almost impossible
· Damages feet and tendons over a period of time
· Unstable - women wearing these shoes are more prone to fall.
Research has confirmed what common sense has always told - that
women wearing high heeled shoes are twice as prone to trip and
fall as those wearing normal shoes.
Isn't there a way to make fashion meet comfort?
Well, that's what intrigued Tina Norris, the founder of a firm
called Foot Petals. She concluded that you don't have to suffer
to be beautiful. Her feet gave her no end of trouble when she
persisted with her desire to pursue fashion. Necessity is the
mother of invention - Tina padded her shoes with orthopedic
inserts from drug stores to reduce her pain, which they did, but
at the cost of good looks. After all, good looks were the prime
motivation for wearing these uncomfortable shoes in the first
place. So she did the only thing that she could - she innovated
and created her own shoes. Today she sells in 17 countries all
over the world. Other innovations include insoles with massaging
gels from Dr. Scholl's, and suede insoles that prevent slipping,
from Summer Soles.
A few comfort tips
· Choose shoes with round, open toe or square toe, instead of
pointy toes as these can add to your discomfort.
· A chunky or wedge heel will be more comfortable than a
stiletto or pointy heel.
· Try out your shoes before buying them preferably late in the
evening. Take a few steps in them and make sure you feel
comfortable walking in them.
