A piece I wrote for another site. Is it too much to ask for shoes to look good AND feel good??

The Joys of High-Ish Heels | Women's Voices For Change

The Joy of High Heels

So, here’s an observation (a fairly obvious one, I’ll admit):  I get a lot more attention from guys when I’m wearing heels.  That’s not really a surprise, but it happens way more now that I’m old-ish.   Many years ago, all I needed was my youth to catch a man’s eye.  Now that that’s gone, it takes props.  That’s okay.  I love wearing heels.  And though high heels, on a long day are neither comfortable nor practical, that’s not the point.

Being Spinsterlicious means wearing heels…not every day, but you can’t completely give up on them…even if your feet sometimes hurt.   

High heels can give you (and your spirit) an extra bounce.  And when you  want to meet a man, they’re one of the easiest and best tools.  Guys are visual.  They like the way a woman looks and the way she walks in heels.   

Plus, if you can walk in them, you look and feel differently, too:  cuter, sexier, more alive.  The key, though, is “if you can walk in them”.  One of my pet peeves is a woman clunking along in heels that she can’t walk in.  You want to look captivating, not like a doofus.  If your feet hurt or you just haven’t mastered the art of doing your thing in heels, hold off until you’re ready. 

 

But do get ready. Throw on some heels, strut your stuff, keep your mojo working!  Watch how many eyes you catch…
