heelma Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 Found this today on a news website about James Bond movies. Nice shoes, but wouldn't it have been much more interesting if she wore her heels on that beach? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roniheels Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 It would be interesting, but she probably wouldn't walk very fast in her high heels in the sand. "...shaken, not stirred." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vector Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 If she were to, it definitely wouldn't be realistic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trolldeg Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 Doesn't look like a beach to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HappyFeat Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 What is a more iconic picture than a woman walking on the beach carrying her shoes? Besides wearing heels in deep sand would be quite difficult. I agree, it does look more like a desert than a beach however. Style is built from the ground up!

Bubba136 Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 whether beach or desert, sand does bad things to heels. It is by far easier to remove your heels when walking in any soft terra if you want them to continue to look good. Being mentally comfortable in your own mind is the key to wearing heels in public.

jmc Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 I don't think there's anything wrong with the picture. Don't women usually take their heels off if they happen to be caught at the beach while wearing them? As stated in an earlier posting, sand does nasty things to heels as they sink in. The sand really abrades the heel coverings and makes a fine pair of exquisite shoes look like worn-out junk in a hurry. Have a happy time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guy N. Heels Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 What is a more iconic picture than a woman walking on the beach carrying her shoes? Besides wearing heels in deep sand would be quite difficult... If she were to, it definitely wouldn't be realistic... Okay, I'll bite; so just what is wrong with the pic? As has already been pointed-out, heels require a hard surface for proper wear and balance. Therefore removing the shoes in sandy terrain is the natural thing to do, but wearing the shoes would definitely seem weird. Besides, she does look fetching with the long split down the front of the dress. So what is wrong with the pic? Keep on stepping, Guy N.
