Hooker shoes? Seriously are we still accusing.

Why is the very act of wearing high heels always seem provocative – even sexually aggressive? Because they are! That’s the whole idea behind them.

The arch travels up the leg to the butt and causes one’s body to move differently. Alluring and sensuous. There can be no other way to describe the affects high heels produces in the wearer and on the beholder.

Recently, someone saw a co-worker wearing high heel wedges – and believe you me, they just qualified as high heels. Barely. Yet someone called them hooker shoes.

Oi!

One, just wearing high heels does not make one a hooker. (I do not want to disparage any lades of the evening here). That is a completely different issue. Yes, so called hookers sometimes wear high heels but not always and not around here.

Two, does the act of wearing a short skirt make one – again – a hooker. No. I call abuse of the high heel shoe and wish to have this person banished from the human race – maybe make her candidate for the Mars exploratory crew.

Lots of women wear high heels to compliment their look. There a multitude of ways of pairing it up  - just have a look at the picture above.

Jeans, skinny. Blazer jacket with white blouse, check.

And completely off-kilter to the look from the waist up are  black boots with straps and buckles that say dangerous – along with a good four inch heel.

Provocative yes, but balanced by the whole image. The boots themselves stab at the eye and nothing about the rest of she is wearing is overtly sexual or even sexy. By doing so, she has look that is classic yet states the lascivious nature behind her footwear.

It works. Marveously.

So whenever anyone says to me… hooker shoes. I reply to them,” takes one to know one.”

I’m so bad.

Heelfully Yours
