Not just the red ones but all high heels. Why is that when women wear them they suddenly are "sexy" or "long-legged"? I naturally have semi-long legs, that make me not too tall, just average height, but I refuse to wear high heels. They make me taller than the guys, and not that there's anything wrong with that, but I just feel awkward. So when I insist on wearing flats instead, it's like "oh, she's wearing flats". And I don't get the "nice shoes" comment made to me, just because I'm not lifted up off the ground.
Another thing about them, the clicking. The click clack of the heels on wooden or tile floors. I don't know what it is, but it's kind of obnoxious unless everyone else is wearing high heels. Maybe it's because whenever my mom stomps around in hers I know something is up. That could be it. But even so, when I hear the clicking I just know theres so cladly dressed girl or woman walking around strutting her stuff. Sometimes I wish I was her, dressing fashionably, even though by looking at her she'll never wear that same outfit twice. She's sophisticated, and us flat shoe wearer's are...not.
It looks professional at work, at the office and what not. But I have worn them before, and they hurt. Why put yourself through the pain, just to appear an inch or two taller? I'd rather walk on my tippy toes, then squish my feet in the toes of a high heel shoe. Wearing bandaids over the sore spots look horrible anyway. Good luck with the sore feet, it takes forever for them to heal. I feel for you girls.
The one reason I find high heels useful is either watching a man wear them or a small child. Both are unusually uneasy while walking whether they think so or not. It looks funny. Whether the man is a cross dresser or trying to be funny, it's entertaining and no one can hold in a laugh. Kids are even better though, especially the little girls playing dress up, in mommy's shoes. I was one of those girls and very proud of it.
Whether they're stilettos or the common work heel, leave them home if you can, you'll yourself from the suffering later. Save them for your kids or future kids to play dress up in, or husbands and boyfriends. haha. And I really can't believe I wrote a whole entry about high heels, but whatever I'm not the one who took time to actually read it. Like you did. =]
