Blessed Is the High Heel, And Lo Shall It Be


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 and extreme sport practitioner. Slammin’, dawg!

The Winter of Our Discontented Heels


Well, it's winter time. Something about discontent.
And boy am I discontented.

Usually, the winter time allows boot wearers to show of their heels and leather clad legs. Boots are easier for most to wear heels as the leathery shaft up and over the ankles allows some measure of support.

But alas... what do I see. Crocs and even flip flops.
Not to mention even though there's a couple of inches of snow on the ground these ugly shoes still show up.

Mind you, I live and work and fetish in a university town, so the rule is to dress like you're staying at the Salvation Army
It's not necessary... these are rich students. I mean... very rich. But their fashion sense is shameful and borders on being discriminatory, if at the very least hypocritical.

Yet lo' and behold what did I see tonight!!

A vision.

A loveliness!

A girl wearing shiny black platform boots. Nothing fancy. Just with jeans and a stylish jacket. It was understated and sexy all at once. And she walked magnificently in them.

But why not?

It's amazing what humans can do with practice. Just watch the Cirque du Soleil Those acrobats can twist and jump and climb and well… they can do anything they put their mind to – to create art with their bodies.

The same holds in the other direction, such as the family in Turkey where they walk on all fours because their minds tell them this is the way it should be done.

High heel shoes are not that difficult to walk in. . . only the state of mind makes it so.

Heelfully Yours
