Rob Posted January 2, 2006 Posted January 2, 2006 I just wanted to relay a couple of sightings I had of "invisible high heels" over the holiday period: At a black tie Christmas ball some of the woman took their shoes off whilst dancing - this started after a couple of hours of dancing, once one woman took her shoes off, several others followed within a few minutes, as if no one wanted to be the first to take their shoes off. What caught my eye was a woman of around twenty dancing with her friend. She was dancing in bare feet as if she was still wearing 3-4 inch heels - up on tip toe. Not once did I see her put her heels down on the floor, and I watched her on and off for around an hour. - Very impressive, and quite sexy, even though I don't normally like to see women take their shoes off and dance bare foot. (Her friend danced with her feet flat like all the other bare foot ladies.) Then today I was in Karen Millen (mid range UK women's clothing store) with my lady, looking at shoes in the sale, and I noticed a young woman who had just come out of the changing room to look at the evening dress she was trying on in a bigger mirror. Like many women, she was doing the whole "stand on tip toe in bare feet, to imagine what it would look like with heels on" thing, but with her heels so high that the fronts of her feet were vertical - higher than they would be if she was wearing 4 or 5 inch heels! Also, where as most women will only go up on tie toe for a couple of seconds to look, she stood, and moved around continually with her feet arched high on tip toe for at least a minute before dropping down and going back in to the changing room. Unfortunately I never saw either of these ladies with their heels on, although I'm sure that they must have both been expert high heel wearers. Has anyone else had any similar sightings?
Dr. Shoe Posted January 2, 2006 Posted January 2, 2006 I used to work with a young lady who always wore extreme heels and when playing tennis she was always on the balls of her feet, the heel part of her trainers never got any wear at all.

Shafted Posted January 2, 2006 Posted January 2, 2006 A few women have actually become high heeled women. They are physically unable to go flat without risking achilles tendon injuries. Shafted, the boots that is!

Adeana Posted January 19, 2006 Posted January 19, 2006 Never saw anything like that..... maybe it's like a few people said...they are so used to wearing high heels that their feet are accustomed to that position (?) After wearing heels and being in them for a long period of time like out dancing all evening, when I take mine off it's actually easier and more comfortable to keep my feet in that position. I have a small foot so when I wear high heels they are pretty steep for me. I can feel my calves stretch out and sometimes the pulling kind of hurts and almost pinches in the muscle when I then walk flat. Goes away after a bit though. similar? Does anyone ever Email anymore? Send me one! I like to chat!
Driver8 Posted January 19, 2006 Posted January 19, 2006 I don't get it. If women take off their shoes, it means their feet hurt in that position. So if they're going to want to put their heels on the floor, and relieve the strain. Walking around on tip toes doesn't make sense. It's easier to have the support of the heels!
DeSalto Posted January 19, 2006 Posted January 19, 2006 Driver8 Women took her shoes off not only because of heels, but also due to tight fit and straps. Remember they were in a black tie Christmas ball, probably wearing brand new pairs of heels. DeSalto No shoe is better than a sexy pair of stilettos!
