H(e)igh(t and) heels

This is just an observation I’ve recently made. Please bear with me and my warped opinions. Irish (who is actually out in the cold as far as I am concerned, but that’s another story) said the other day to my 153 cm (rougly 5ft) Japanese colleague that she, that is Irish, is 173 cm (5ft7in) tall. I looked at her and thought “no way you are”. Then I thought, “How could I know?”. You see, the thing with Irish is that she insists on wearing high heels, with emphasis on high. It’s truly ridiculous. Sometimes the heels are so high that the ordinarily horizontal parts of her feet are virtually vertical. The heels are so high that the actual heels of her feet point upwards. Shoes with heels this high often result in the wearer having to adopt a silly, unnatural walk. Rather like giraffes walk. Of course, some women can walk in such shoes, but most can’t. And most don’t realise that they can’t and that only just a tiny little bit lower heels will result in such improved posture and elegance.

I can understand that Irish likes heels. Heels are a wonderful thing in terms of enhancing your physique. They make legs look longer and bums perter. And I actually find that although I sometimes find myself walking like a duck in flat shoes, I always walk properly in heels.

There is a fine balance though between high and vertiginous. And of course the key realisation that there are lots of girls who can’t walk properly in v.high heels – and clearly that the sexiness of the heels is undermined by walking like a bloke.
