On Avenue A, a call to abolish heel highs

This morning... via Dave on 7th...



Per the sign: "Outlaw the manufacture and sale of high heel shoes They break ankle and cause maximum pain, shoes without socks not a joke"

I am told that more 20 somethings are experiencing back pain and problems. I am sure it is because of these monster heels. It is not worth it. Broken ankles and back pain can interfere with your quality of life in the present and the future.

Somebody shoulda told that to the stylist on EV G's (sexy) photo shoots on St. Mark's Place.

Fuck heels.

The irony of heels is that women wear them solely for other women. As a guy I could care less for heels and I even dislike them when they make women taller then me.

I don't wear heels often, but I do own them and adore them And I have never dressed for other women in my life. (By the way, I have a preference for men around my own height, and have never, ever had a complaint when wearing heels.)

No on all accounts. I don't wear heels for "other women," I wear them for me. I don't wear anything that hurts because I don't squish my feet into too-small sizes or totter around on 5"-plus stilettos. I have no back problems, and I am 41 btw and have been wearing heels since I was 25. Calf tendons are easily stretched, my back is strong from doing planks for a mere 2 minutes a day.

Wear heels or don't, people, but stop the insanity that they are torture devices. You will pry the stacked 3.75" mary jane off my cold dead feet. Sorry I'm taller than you!

I like the heels look. depending on the gal heels can really enhance the shapeliness of her legs and booty. that's what its all about, more so than the added height, I say. A women doesn't need height to be sexy but a shapely leg is pretty crucial.

I wore "fuck me shoes"--mainly in the bedroom. We humorously called those high heeled sexy wonders by that name--still do--but don't wear em for walking around.
