High Heeled Shoes and Foot Etiquette

High-Heeled Shoes

• Because approximately 85% of women do not know how to properly walk in a heel, there is a high probability this directly concerns you!
• Because higher heeled shoes cause structural/skeletal, as well as comical callous, why wear them?
• NEWS: A woman toe-tripping/tipping and bow legging, slouched over in ill-fitting shoes is NOT sexy or attractive...AND it takes you longer to get to your destination, Ms. I-Think-I-Am-In-More-Control-And-I-Think-I-Have-More-Power-Than-I-Actually-Have PowerSuitically impaired cow!
  
• If you look (AND YOU DO!) so awkwardly uncomfortable and hideously, insidiously comic, WHY do you insist on wearing them?
• You are slouched and bowed over as if you are scanning for that lost penny on the side walk. You often have legs that are set too far apart, not in proportion to your hips or feet or dangle at odd angles. Picture following behind a bovine in shoes.
• You often are rolling and so dangerously pronating that I want to run up behind you and scoop you into a wheelchair...because that is where you could end up from the damage you are doing to your body and the damage to social/fashion aestheticism. You must wear out your shoes quickly with the wear and 'tears'.
  

(Pronation is a turning outward of the foot at the ankle, so that one has a tendency to walk on the inner border of the foot. When a foot and ankle pronates to a great degree, it is referred to as over-pronation.)

• Click clack to the nearest shoe store that has knowledgeable staff (good luck who can properly size/measure and fit your shoe. Also, they must sell only well-made footware preferably with good support and breathable material (yes, made from leather).
• Sandals look great with dresses and skirts and are cooler in the summer although they are equally hard on your body. I see many people walking with their heels actually slipping away from the sandal and touching the ground. Try getting at least a sandal that straps in the ankle to help hold the heel in place.... at least a little.
• NEWS: If the skin on your feet/heels is so cracked and damaged and fungalized that it looks like you soaked in acid, cover those things up! It makes me nearly nauseous. If you have foot odor and your feet are not confined in a covered shoe (if you want to wear sandals), tend to your problem. No one wants to smell your odoriferous feet! Foot odor can be easily controlled by simple washing, powdering and seeking medical advice about any fungus or bacteria that could be lurking and causing that stink. Inexpensive care and creams are available. Take care of your feet by washing them, cutting nails properly, massaging and applying moisturizer. They are the least expensive, under utilized form of 'green travel' and exercise.
