Why Women Wear High Heels ????

[Jacaylbaro]

High heels are uncomfortable and make walking more difficult. Prolonged use can injure the feet, knees and back. So why do women keep wearing them?

 

The short answer seems to be that women in heels are more likely to attract favourable notice.

 

In Sense And Sensibility, Jane Austen describes the character Elinor Dashwood as having a "delicate complexion, regular features, and... remarkably pretty figure".

 

But Austen describes Elinor's sister, Marianne, as "still handsomer. Her form, though not so correct as her sister's, in having the advantage of height, was more striking".

 

In addition to making women taller, high heels force the back to arch, pushing the bosom forward and the buttocks rearward, thus accentuating the female form.

 

"Men like an exaggerated female figure," writes fashion historian Caroline Cox. The problem is that if all women wear high heels, such advantages tend to cancel out.

 

Height, after all, is a relative phenomenon. It may be advantageous to be taller than others, or at least not to be several inches shorter. But when all wear shoes that make them several inches taller, the relative height distribution is unaffected, so no one appears taller than if all had worn flat heels.

 

If women could decide collectively what shoes to wear, all might agree to forgo high heels. But because any individual can gain advantage by wearing them, such an agreement might be hard to maintain.

Some clothes just look better with a nice pair of heels. I don't think it's to compensate for lack of height or to attract men as the article suggests.

Women are superficial creatures, they also worry about their bosoms, behind, and their legs...And therefore they think these things matter to the guys as much as it matters to them...And there is also this notion women believe "no pain without gain"...Although I had heard some company is making a more comofortable high heels shows...If it is true maybe then I would buy my first pair...bee bye
