Why do women endure the discomfort of high heels?
High heels are uncomfortable and make walking more difficult. Prolonged use can injure the feet, knees and back. So why do women keep wearing them? The short answer seems to be that women in heels are more likely to attract favorable notice. In addition to making women taller, high heels force the back to arch, pushing the bosom forward and the buttocks rearward, thus accentuating the female form. "Men like an exaggerated female figure," writes fashion historian Caroline Cox. The problem is that if all women wear high heels, such advantages tend to cancel out. Height, after all, is a relative phenomenon. It may be advantageous to be taller than others, or at least not to be several inches shorter. But when all wear shoes that make them several inches taller, the relative height distribution is unaffected, so no one appears taller than if all had worn flat heels.
If women could decide collectively what shoes to wear, all might agree to forgo high heels. But because any individual can gain advantage by wearing them, such an agreement might be hard to maintain...
Though I am tall...I find it really hard to walk with flat heel... how about you?
A nice pair of legs attached for mento enjoy....lol
to have a high heeled shoes (or two)...
'don't know, but i do feel feminine wearing heeled shoes than flats/pumps..
but at night, i do sleep with my feet elevated (higher than my head)...or else I would develop varicose veins...

As long as there are ankles and calves involved, all legs are fine, regardless of heel height.
flat shoes ?
Rumour has it that they make calves and asses look good. I, as a male, have never understood that. Flat shoes are the most flattering.
i find i walk better in heels where as in flats i seem to 'dawdle'.........lol
life's too short so make the most of it, you only live but once.......

I love my evening shoes.....don't care I can't walk in them!
They look great.
Killer shoes make men go all dribbly .....
us women pay the price later on in life for wearing high heels.
I like my heels as well as my sneakers. I wear heels when I go for a party and when i'm out shopping i wear sneakers.
At work I wear flats and sometimes heels depending on what clothes I'm wearing. I love all my shoes, heels or not!!
I'm imagining you now 10 Cm taller :)
Well, GG ... some to get taller, some to have back trouble, some to gain muscle and some to get some balance after drinking and some for .... hmmmm? Will pass on this one ..

Hmm never thought of it like that lol
we did not agree
but wonder if a wink means comfort or discomfort
===================================== http://www.qatarliving.com/node/58409
I thought the discomfort is a good reason to massage the feet and for this the high heels are wide spread

hahaha mila i am australian and i know what cowboy boots look like. what i see is real ladies heels on men. oh well i guess its a free world. you can wear what you like ....
Gypsy gal, you forgot to add another benefit, shortens the calf muscle so making the leg even more defined.
Never had pain from wearing my shoes, love em love em love em......
I may be blonde but I am wise
smile lots laugh more
for some they wear it to add some heights &
It gives sexier effects specially when they walk...
"Even if LOVE is full of thorns, embrace it. For in between those thorns there is a ROSE that's worth all the PAIN."
next time you see one on the street just look at her face..... FACE ONLY..lol
Mila, I think for you the heels will do as to add to your character.....
Let me tell you something for free - better to go out with a lady whose feet are comfortable when walking with you otherwise you will listen to complaints all night.
I remember when I was about 12 (long time ago) but I used to walk around in my mothers high heels and they were stillettos I always fell down so at a very young age confronted with discomfort always opted for flatter shoes.
skdkak, well a couple of days it said cheers to you and you said that don't have any for that, so hope you got your stock now....so cheers!!!
ringo they must be cowboy
Everybody is right Everybody is wrong, it depend where we stand.
i get the point women wearin them heels, but why do some men wear them then, seen a few men here and there spotting womens high heel boots especially ....????? beats me...!!!!
heel or no heels, It the legs men are interested in! well not all may be...but heels adds up like a painting with a beautiful frame!!! and a bit easier to reach them if they are a bit higher
was expecting a full pic to see the expressions on her face and tell if she is feeling discomfort

I think when you really doing the business, leg is leg they all works. unless you talking about the two hills thats different story. wink
Everybody is right Everybody is wrong, it depend where we stand.
some women need the height, and some women do it to impress men, some women do it because they look good in heels, some women do it because they are silly, but I never wore them because I hate to have sore feet and they are not pratical if you are waling for a long time.
I prefer flat shoes any day but my days for high heels are over anyway lol.
skdkah! hi man, Have to ask gg to send it through PM, got your bottle today?
