How Well Shod Are You?

To be well shod.

I believe the origins of this phrase has something to do with horses – but no matter, it speaks well of high heels as well, in a peculiar way.

As I walked through Melonville today, a shiny warm day, I saw a few brave souls wearing heels, mainly 3”affairs… but at least they were heels. Most were wearing the dreaded, horrific Flip Flops.

And I started to wonder why the sexy high-heel is so regarded as ‘freakish’. It doesn’t make any sense. Why? Because everyone secretly lusts after them.

To wear high-heels (let’s make it perfectly, clear high-heels are 3 inches and up) makes you very aware of the very act of walking. They make you feel sexy. This will in turn make you look sexy.

Do you disagree.

Well, there are very few exotic dancers who wear flat shoes. And if they do, they will go broke. Any dancer will quickly determine the way to increase income is to learn how to walk in heels. Because no matter how often a person decries and scoffs at the high heel, they are most often attracted to them.

The high-heel is alluring and sensuous. The wearer is saying, I like to look and feel sexy.

High heel boots only transfer up the leg what the heels start, wrapping the legs in a provocative sleeve of leather, shifting the focus away from sexy to sexy power.

So, in a way I’m happy not everyone wears high-heels. It’s always refreshing and tantalizing when you happen to see someone IS wearing them and you feel a kindred spirit and attachment that is signaled between the wearers.

Break away from the bland, the blah, the ordinary and the conformity. Don a pair of 5” pumps and show of your legs. In my opinion, you will definitely be well-shod.
