I am a member of a shoe club and I LOVE the shoes on the site but, most of the shoes on the site (at least the ones that I like) are 5 inches or higher with a large incline. Sometimes the platform might be 1.5 inches so that makes the incline less steep but when it's a 5.5 in shoe, it can still be very straining on the ball of the foot. Yet, I see women wear these shoes out to the club, out to the mall, etc. I don't know what they are doing to be able to wear these shoes for so long without causing blisters. Is there like an insole or something that they are putting in there or are they just wearing the shoes until the bottom of their feet callous over and there is just no pain anymore? I would love to wear these shoes but I really don't want to sacrifice the health of my feet to do it.
who are you living for that you are willing to resort to an instrument of torture to please them? You are one special life. All human beings are. While I am a leg man and definitely like seeing women in a pair of flattering (which can be any height) heels, the hottest legs for me are bare legs with no shoes. But that's me. Nonetheless, who sent you the message that you're ugly if you don't put these things on? It's like the modern version of foot binding.
Please ladies, like yourselves and stop being so competitive with each other or so needy that you screw up or change a perfectly nice body part. It makes you look desperate and like you're trying too hard and that's pathetic. [ VoiceofReason's advice column | Ask VoiceofReason A Question ]

It is nearly heartbreaking to find individual examples, like yours, of exactly how badly our society has been inundated with this "Barbie Doll" role model type of mentality. You should NEVER be so "in" to a pair of SHOES that you're even considering putting yourself through pain in order to wear them. I hope you're not as "plastic" of a person as that makes you sound. If you are I'm surely wasting my time with this response. I'm going to think you're not and continue :)
The "Paris Hilton" mentality has done so much damage to the self image of a large portion of young women. I cannot even understand the concept of even being concerned with what you're asking here. The only people that would even be concerned about your shoes (to this extreme) are bubbly plastic people who think fashion is this important. Wear what YOU like and don't EVER wear clothing that is going to hurt you. Self confidence and self respect are WAY more attractive than ANY fashion accessory has been or will EVER be.
I hope, again, that your "trendy fashion sense" isn't such a life focus that you're insulted by what I've said. I would rather hope that it shines a light on the silliness of the fashion thinking and empowers your sense of self, the self that requires NO silly shoes or anything else you WEAR....to feel great about who YOU are.
AngelsColumn answered Monday August 6 2012, 3:04 pm: Honestly i always wondered too how girls do it. Honestly you should wear what feels comfortable on you. A lot of girls model and dance and had to practice walking in shoes since they were little children. People get used to walking in long thin beautiful heels. Do there feet get tired I'm sure they do, but there used to it so it won't hurt them as much as it would someone like you who hasn't tried it before. I think even though a shoes may be beautiful you have to think of it this way. You never walked in shoes 24/7 like those other girls probably have and yes it pains to look beautiful, but how much pain are you willing to endure to have those shoes. Wear something comfortable and sexy until you get used to thin high heels like the others. [ AngelsColumn's advice column | Ask AngelsColumn A Question ]
