Bubba136 Posted December 7, 2003 Share Posted December 7, 2003 Came across this artical this morning. Thought some might be interested. If Shoe Fit's Being mentally comfortable in your own mind is the key to wearing heels in public. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PJ Posted December 7, 2003 Share Posted December 7, 2003 I was also surprised to learn from that article that high heels could cause jaw pain. Although I enjoy wearing high heels, I would not go as far as the professor in that article did. If I could not wear high heels while standing or walking, there are other positions I could enjoy with my heels click .... click .... click .... The sensual sound of stiletto heels on a hard surface.

Firefox Posted December 7, 2003 Share Posted December 7, 2003 Interesting that the article raises exactly the type of concerns I tabled in the "would you have foot surgery" thread while most others were saying what a mavellous idea foot surgery was.

Heelfan Posted December 7, 2003 Share Posted December 7, 2003 The jaw pain is obviously from saying "My feet are killing me" three hundred times a day! Cheerfully yours, Heelfan Onwards and upwards! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ionic Posted December 8, 2003 Share Posted December 8, 2003 has to be quote of day: "Some of these women invest more in their shoes than they do in the stock market," said Dr. Suzanne M. Levine.... As for blaming women for buying shoes far too narrow, the manufacturers don't sodding make them! Just a miserable few. /I /I Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffM Posted December 8, 2003 Share Posted December 8, 2003 No proof but it seems to me that the number of women who wear heels with out problems is a factor of 100, 1000 or maybe even 10000 more that those who do have peoblems. I wonder why they arent mentioned by the Podiatrist group. An alternative name for this thread would be "Here we go again" Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris100575 Posted December 8, 2003 Share Posted December 8, 2003 All of my girlie shoes have heels four inches or higher, and apart from my sandals and one pair of boots, have pointy toes. They all fit slightly differently, and some are more comfortable than others. In other words, if the shoe doesn't fit, find a pair that does. You can still wear pointy stilettos, just try a different brand. There's no way I'd have surgery for anything other than health reasons, and that doesn't include fitting into a pair of shoes I liked.

Quite shocking really: http://www.nytimes.com/2003/12/07/health/07FOOT.html?ex=1071378000&en=02b427cf212c36d5&ei=5062&partner=GOOGLE Back to top mk4625 5 inch spiky boots Joined: 08 Mar 2003 Posts: 713 Location: Near San Jose, CA Posted: 08 Dec 2003 11:00 Post subject: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- It's disgraceful really. The surgeon's ethics are highly questionable. I don't even like the long-toed ultra-pointy shoes that those victims say they want to fit into. _________________ Michael Back to top Ionic 4 inch sandals Joined: 17 Sep 2003 Posts: 338 Location: 'The Big Smoke', UK Posted: 08 Dec 2003 11:38 Post subject: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- We've got this theme running twice now, also over in the 'For Everybody forum'. /I Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
High Surprise Posted December 8, 2003 Share Posted December 8, 2003 Sorry to confuse everyone. Didn't see this thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
new_look Posted December 8, 2003 Share Posted December 8, 2003 an amusing article indeed but hardly necessary for the sole purpose of staying with fashions. Surgery is to correct things that are wrong healthwise, not so that you can make your toes more receptable to the tight point of a shoe. These women who join the doctors queues cannot be all there in the head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
