On the Mirror site, a lady reporter tries "road-testing the latest five-inch heels":

HELL IN HIGH HEELS

Clearly see doesn't normally wear heels.

Also I suspect that the "five-inch heels" she refers to are actually nearer 4 inches (especially as she mentions TopShop ones for £20).

Tsk tsk tsk....obviously she's never gone by the adage "practice practice practice". What else would she expect from only the first time out in 5" pumps? Precision? That...only comes with time.

Several designers are selling real 5 inch heels (without platform) at the moment: Roland Mouret, Christian Louboutin, Azzedine Alaia, and several others...

That reporter is, I'm completely sure, one of those that aways look for total comfort and is against heels all the time. Not my kind of girl for sure. The one who taked her to make this text obviously has in mind that heels are rediculous kind of shoes. This is what I call tendencionist newspaper. Sadly it's subtitled "The Best Newspaper on the Web". BAH!!!

It wouldn't have made such good copy if they'd given the job to an expert heel wearer.... I'll bet you any money you like she kept the shoes afterwards.

Its the usual predictable stuff that you get from the tabloids when high heels or tight skirts come back into fashion. The fashion editor shoves a dolly bird reporter out of the door in high heels or a tight skirt to report on the down side of this latest fashion in the hope that it will not catch on so she won't have to wear it!

Ok, this shouldn't surprise any of us here. If the women was a seasoned heel wearer OR wanted to wear heels, she wouldn't be calling it the 'Latest Fashion Trend'. The fact that she decided to write an article about this new 'Trend' should be indication it was going to be negative from the start.

Here's a different kind of article, from today's (Wednesday) paper: Monterey Fishnet Stockings Snag Robbery Suspect A man's pantyhose led to his arrest, authorities said. An unshaven man wearing a black evening gown, fishnet stockings, calf-high boots and a black wig robbed a gas station Monday, authorities said. About 35 minutes later, police spotted a black Saab with fishnet pantyhose hanging from the driver's door, investigators said. _ _ _ , 26, was arrested and booked on suspicion of armed robbery.

Just read the article mentioned at the top of this thread. Sounds like another fashion slave who does not bother to think for herself. So she cannot handle five inch heels? Here's a radical thought -- don't wear them! OK, I know that's almost heresy around here but look at it this way -- we male heelers buck the winds of fashion all the time. In fact some among us are so cutting-edge that they are trying to define a new fashion! And some of the notables among us are even succeeding!

To the author of the article: Come on, lady -- are you a sheep or a human? Do you bother to think for yourself or do you just mindlessly do what the rest of the herd tells you is "cool"? If you like it and/or it feels good, wear it and make it work for you. If you don't like it and/or it is uncomfortable then wear something else that does suit you and save us all the complaining. Frankly you have no idea what you are talking about until you try to go out in heels AS A GUY! A woman can wear anything from sandals to combat boots and nobody will bat an eyelash! If you don't like five inch heels then wear fours . . . or threes . . . or twos, or ones, or flats, or sneakers, or whatever suits you. And don't gripe at us when nobody's paying you any attention.

[/soapbox]

Have a happy time!

Here here! Just what we needed, more bad publicity. If wonder if any newspapers have actually done some significant research on this subject and printed any useful tips on wearing high heels?
