I think there should be such a thing as training heels for women who seem to feel the need to wear extraordinarily high heels and yet refuse to walk gracefully in them. As I waited at the bus stop yesterday, I saw this girl attempting to cross the busy road wearing boots with at least 4 inch stiletto heels. It was anything by attractive and definitely not graceful. It was 7:30 in the morning and the beginning of her day and the beginning of hell for her feet! She was pounding her way down the side walk in that most ugly *stomp stomp stomp* fashion you see some run-way models using that Tyra and Miss J. take one look at and tell them to go back to the apartment and practice!
It’s not that hard to walk in heels. Look at all the women in the word that wear them daily and manage to walk without looking like fools or killing themselves in the process. I found a number of videos that teach you how to walk in heels – some are good, others are just tragically funny!
I confess, I do love shoes but I also know my limits. I’m not going to even try to pretend that I can go 18hrs in a pair of 4 inch heels. I don’t know why these girls are kidding themselves with the shoes they are wearing and it’s not like they’re going anywhere special – they’re going to class! If you’re going out – fine. Wear cute shoes (this is an exception to the rule: Cute is allowed here!), but please!… only if you can actually do them justice.
(I really should post a picture of my new boots… they’re most excellent.

Ooooh heels! I love heels. I think even if they had training heels those girls wouldn’t wear them.
New boots?! Picture! Picture! I demand a picture!
