I have seen many more women wearing significant heels as an everyday occurrence and it is heartening and so refreshing to see. I have seen in broad daylight a lady wearing thigh-high boots – casually. Now, high heels are great all the time, but I am also seeing just better shoes on ladies in general and this can only be a good thing.
Yet I was intrigued by the gait of these women. Some were super slim and others a little more chunkified – but each showed the same characteristic when they walked.
Because there buts were jammed a little higher on the back side, when they took a step forward ( and as their leg swung towards the front of their body) I noticed how the cheeks of the butt would drop a little and then swivel upwards.
One lady, who had obviously been wearing heels for years, and who was wearing these amazing boots that stopped just above the knee, had a step that was very accustomed to wearing heels. Her legs would accommodate automatically for each step and she walked with a confidence and a slow, sexy pace that emphasized the heels and the boot but did not show any sign of strain or clumsiness. I was in awe.
Further, I saw another women who dashed down the street in 4 inch heels stepping over grating and pan-handlers as if she was wearing a snug pair of Adidas. Coincidently, another women slipped and fell stepping of a curb – in flats. The shoe just slipped of her foot and by not concentrating managed to tumble onto the pavement, shopping bags and humility lying beside her.
Yes, the doctors and religious right decry the wearer of the high heel shoe. However, I see just as much damage done with those flimsy and unsupportive ballet slippers that seems to be the new rage. (Marge Simpson shoes)
Stop the yelling and at least get a pair of good shoes… shoes that fit… that support. And yes if they happen to have a 5” heel on them… all the better!
Heelfully Yours
