I would just like to point out that there are many things we do that cause wear and tear over time. Walking is one of them. Typing on the computer, sitting in a chair, using a mouse, driving a car, typing on a keyboard...the list goes on. Our bodies are made to slowly degrade over time, unfortunately...it's all just a matter of choices. For me, I follow the advocacy of keeping moving, and for the things I do that strain my body, I do activities that relieve that strain (i.e. yoga, stretching, meditation, etc). It works for me, keeps me young (12 years now) and it's all in the balance. :)

Not advocating the 24/7/365 fantasy though. That's silly, and goes against the "balance" I mention above...

It just always amazes me how we have to think in extremes. Yes, the 24/7/365 fantasy is an unreasonable extreme. But so is the "don't do it your feet will fall off" (tongue in cheek) response. Balance always falls somewhere in the middle, and it depends upon the individual, his/her health, and the situation.

Great idea!

I'll order to my sub to wear stockings and high heels 24/7, especially in hot weather!

I've never had any sub do this, but if they won't wear stockings and high heels when I command....forget it! The refusal to wear such items contributed to the collapse of one of my marriages and ended several other relationships.

I don't think that wearing heels 24/7 is realistic. But I can't really say, I certainly have never tried it.

However, I don't see your concern for doing household chores in heels either.
I love high heels, especially stilettos. I currently own 46 pair.
Before an ankle injury unrelated to wearing heels prevented me from wearing heels for more than a couple of hours at a time, I often did chores in heels.
I see no reason why one can't do laundry, or do the dishes, or vacuum, or do the windows, in heels, I've done it often enough because I squeezed chores in between doing other things and I didn't want to change shoes 10 times a day. For other chores, like cleaning the bathroom, garage or basement I'd change my foot ware, but that's more because I was concerned about ruining the heels than that it was actually impossible to do those things in heels.

But then again, I used to be able to wear rather high heels for an entire day, from the moment of getting dressed to the moment of getting undressed, and have no problem with pain in my feet or legs at all, even if I was on my feet for most of the day. I miss those days...

You just need to give your feet the time to gradually get used to increasingly higher heels for increasingly longer periods of time. As long as you maintain a good posture in heels, instead of leaning or slouching you wont get back problems either, unless you're already prone to it. As far as tendons tightening up, I have noticed that when I wore heels almost everyday, so I worked in a 10 min morning and evening stretch in my schedules and the problems disappeared.

This thing that these "Doms" are asking is a fetish, it is something they read in a fetish novel, and the thought makes them hard - that's about it. Honestly, actually getting one of these men to even meet you in real life is probably an unreal expectation...they're typing with one hand, if you get my drift. ;) Move on to someone who understands your humanity and is seeking more than just a fantasy, I say (unless you just want the fantasy as well).
