sometimes nothing
completes an outfit like the shoes! That said, with the height some heels have reached, they can seem just as confining, painful, and body-altering as a corset. ('Cage heels' look a bit like torture devices, yikes!) But of course, if even animals preen themselves, why shouldn't we? I guess the question is how much pain for how much gain? Send pics of the shoes you wear to see wherewe all stack up. Here's a couple to get things rolling:
These were worn by a friend of mine
for a wedding and stayed on her feet
for a total of about 20 minutes.
Damn cute. Damn painful.
These (a pair of my own I recently inherited) are
waaaaay higher
than any shoes I've ever worn, but with the wedge and a snug fit, they actually aren't that bad to walk in. Still can't believe I'm wearing them, though, considering I have old feet injuries and I had sworn off high heels after 5 years of massaging women's feet who's toes had practically fused together from the pressure of tight heels. *shudder*

ReplyDeleteAs emancipated as I like to think I am, I'm tempted to say that all in all those twenty minutes were worth the pain though- for the ballerina-in -the- music box/ head- in-the-clouds feeling- not to mention the admiration they got! ; ) Loving dressing up is part of my nature! A small part, but its definitely there, as those shoes illustrate! Much love from the ambitious wedding-shoe wearer xx
