I'm going to reveal a secret today. High heeled shoes are actually torture devices. I know some of you are thinking, "But those shoes in the picture are so pretty."
I say, "Stop it!"
Most women will not admit their shoes are killing them because they want to be "sexy" and "beautiful". As if their smiles and their eyes and the curves of their bodies were not enough. They have to attach deadly spikes to their feet and hobble from one destination to another, instead of just walking like humans are supposed to do.
You think I'm exaggerating? Be brave, find a woman who wears high heels every day and ask to see her feet. If she doesn't deck you with a solid piece of office equipment, you will see a pair of mangled feet that resemble a cross between the creature from the movie Alien and a smashed up tomato.
Now I ask you, "Is that sexy?"
No, and I stopped wearing them 17 years ago when I hung up my pantyhose for good and began to wear what is comfortable (yet stylish!). The are the invention of the devil and I applaud you for spelling it out.

Dear Eilbeback,
I constantly take comfort in my cute and sensible shoes. Dare I say, I'm even smug about my feet? I'm glad you agree with me.

I don't wear high heels. I either wear plimsolls or go bare foot. People can diss my shoe choice all they want, but my toes are still in the right places.

Polenth, thanks for visiting.
As for people dissing your shoes, some of my friends look upon my shoe choice with great wonder. They think, "How can she be so plain? Doesn't she want to be fashionable?"
These friends and I have what is known as the GREAT SHOE DEBATE.
They want sharp-toed flashy feet. I want my toes to last for at least the next fifty years. Like Republicans versus Democrats, we shoe debaters can not seem to find common ground. So we go on tolerating each other and sneering at the other's shoe choice whenever we get the chance.

Oh, yes...nothing says "Hot" like destroyed, mangled feet. Rock on!

A Woman's Right To Shoes...I mean, Choose.
I personally, don't wear anything less than four inch heels almost every day of the week. And yes, my feet hurt. But that's how you know when they look good. :)
I read somewhere that wearing heels can cause infertility....just another reason I keep doing it! Haha. Just kidding....well, maybe not. I'm not a fan of children. :)

Gasps at Bethany. That's too funny. Not a fan of children? You say that as if they are a food group you could do without.
Melody imagines Bethany in a restaurant, "No, I'd prefer not to have the oatmeal, and you can leave off the children too. I'm not a fan."
