ORIGINAL: AquaticSub The problem with heels is the physics of it all. When you are wearing a heel, every step has the same impact as through you were running. And, let's face it, most women can't afford to drop several hundred dollars on the well made shoes that help reduce the wear and tear on the foot. I have a pair or two of hundred dollar shoes. But unless I start making a lot of money, I can't justify spending 300+ dollars on a shoe. That money would just be better spent elsewhere. I'm not suggesting one go out and buy a $300 pair of heels, I was making a specific example based on an interview with the maker of that shoe. I'll make an example of stripper shoes, single soled shoes are often flimsy for a beginner(heel walker) or beginner. They dont cradle the foot well and the heel tends to wander if one puts too much weight on it. The 2" platforms, while sexy, are not practical to get around in on uneven pavement, stairs etc. A mini platform or a double soled shoe like those with a matching colored footbed and clear acrylic heel are both high in height and stable enough for novices. The rest is a matter of how far you wish to carry your fetish. It is obvious that heels are harder on the foot than flats are, but birkenstocks dont turn me on. I have no problem offering my amateur advice to anyone having shoe fitment issues.
