It's an age-old question: Why do women buy shoes that hurt their feet? I don't know. Why can't men ask for directions?
The truth behind this is at the end of the day, most women prefer fashion over comfort. Unfortunately, there aren't many styles out there for women who want to look cute AND be comfy at the same timebelieve me, I know
this for a fact. Recently, a rocket scientist introduced an allegedly comfortable high-heeled shoe. This remains to be seen, since I don't have the money to invest in this technology. So I teeter around on mile-high heels (even though I'm quite tallwhat can I say? I like high heels!) and do my best to rest my feet whenever possible.
It's really a mental thing. Most days I follow in the footsteps (no pun intended) of the millions of working women who don their trusty sneakers on the city streets, then change to heels when they reach the office. This is the safest option for me, seeing as how I have a lengthy walk from home to the train, and from train to work. Plus I'm a complete klutz on a good day. Just when I'm feeling confident in my less-than-fashionable footwear, though, I'll see a woman leaving the train in sexy 3-inch heels. And my heart will sink, as I draw my feet as far beneath my seat as they can go. And I'll swear for the millionth time that I need to start wearing those heels outside the office.
See? For women, it's all about how the women around them make them feel about themselves. In fact, women dress up more for each other than for the men in their lives. Seriously. It's true. So we try to outdo each other to see who can wear the cuter, more trendy shoes, when all the time we're crying inside from the pain those adorable shoes are causing our feet. Doesn't make much sense? Believe me, I know. But neither does the male inability to ask for directions.
