Blessed are those with high arches.It does give us an unfair advantage. I have extremely high arches so wearing high heels has never presented itself as an issue. For those not so blessed it must make walking in heels all that much harder.
And yet…
One can get used to it. What makes walking in high heels so difficult is… NOT walking high heels.
For instance, if you watch a downhill skier fly past the posts at break neck speeds you say to yourself… can’t be hard, you just slap sticks to your feet and push off at the top of the hill and let the miraculous work of gravity suck you down the hill.
Oh yeah… give it whirl sometime. Make sure all your affairs are in order and that the health coverage is paid in full.
Or perhaps car racing! Driving around a large oval, one direction… heck I do that on the freeway all the time. Fast and furious… Tokyo Drift up the off-ramp all the time after scooting underneath the big rig to catch the de-acceleration lane in time.
Okay … give that a whirl sometime.
Once again, paramedics should be standing by and maybe a Priest or two.
It is not that easy but those who do participate in these sports make it look easy. Why? Well, they don’t sit around watching ‘Rosanne’ reruns eating pork rinds all week - then get up off the couch, head to the slope and then ski!
They practice all the time.
The same holds true of high heels. Wear them every so often and yeah!! They’re gonna hurt. So duh! That’s why I can’t forbear anyone who shuns high heels because they hurt their precious little tootsies.
Ski once and awhile and boy that is gonna hurt too! So duh!
Do purchase a couple of pairs of high heel shoes ( or boots) and wear them into the ground. Your life will improve dramatically and you can also say you're an extreme sport practitioner. Slammin’, dawg!
Heelfully Yours
