Reveal yourself

[EdeeMe]

Hello everyone !

I've been a high-heeled shoe enthusiast for years.

 

As a photographer who loves to showcase feminine beauty, I was sometimes disappointed by the shoes worn by the models who came to the studio.

So I bought several pairs of 12cm heels in different sizes to give them something feminine to wear.

 

Then I wondered why some women liked to wear heels and why some men, like me, liked women in heels.

I started by watching documentaries on the subject, I read books, I informed myself and then, to share this knowledge, I created a blog.

My ex-girlfriend was my photo model, posing in the heels I'd bought.

 

I can't help but look at a woman when she's wearing heels, so I include them in every one of my photo shoots.

Later on, I drew a few pairs, just for fun. And now I'm wondering whether I shouldn't embark on the adventure of having them made in Italy, just to see if my tastes are shared.

I still have to create a brand, launch a crowdfunding page...

 

I'm not here to promote myself, just to share discussions on that most feminine of accessories: the high-heeled shoe.

I'm looking forward to sharing my ideas, thoughts and emotions on 12 cm of happiness !

Hello everyone!

Looking for reasons to wear heels, I found 4, here's the first:

assertiveness:

A natural way to assert yourself

You dominate the world around you when you're taller in stature, so cheating with a high heel is totally accepted. It can also help you in the professional world, even the master of the art, Christian Louboutin, says so in an article.

You choose the height, the color, the shape and the brand, all for a different visual appearance, according to your own choice, to stand out from the ordinary and to show off your mood of the day.

Even if it's not very comfortable or practical, it's terribly feminine and you've decided to wear it, so... you wear it!
It's your choice, and you've made it.

Some feminists cry “scandal” when they see only the uncomfortable aspect, but they should also realize this asset to assert themselves.

assertiveness is really CONFIDENCE.

Don't waste your time on heels that are "not very comfortable". If every step is an "ouch" you will look like a clown.  I have been standing (and walking) in heels for over 8 hours a day this summer, and my feet are not happy at about 7.5 hours in  AND that's in my comfortable heels.

For sure, there has to be a balance between fashion and comfort.  7.5hrs is heels is amazing, my feet would hurt after being in Nikes for 7.5hrs.....

Yes, high heels aren't the most comfortable, but I wasn't talking about walking a marathon in them...
I was talking about asserting yourself by wearing heels, even for a few minutes.

Cali and I agree very strongly that there isn't a reason to wear heels that don't feel good. Having said that, I have two different types of shoes in my collection these days. I have my walking shoes, and I have my church shoes. The walking shoes basically have no time limit. The church shoes, depending on several factors, might only be good for several hours, especially the 12 cm variety. But none of them actually hurt my feet.
