high heels
with all the amazing scientists and technology out there, why can't someone please invent beautiful shoes that don't hurt like a muthafucka? after a long night spent standing on my lovely new sparkly heels i can barely walk this morning. i think i may have crippled the balls of my feet permanently.

although the shoes are so pretty i can't believe they really meant to hurt me.

See that pain???
That's VANITY that is, every creak of your ankle is a reminder that you're looking good.

Apparently.

in the back of my grans mail on sunday
there are several adverts for shoes which are 'practical yet alluring' for the 'discerning lady' you sound like.

Easy enough to resolve.
Redefine what you consider to be beautiful shoes.

Pointy-toed things with tiny spike heels that require you to put your full weight on the balls of your feet will always hurt no matter what. Shoes with some support and a more rounded toe with larger diameter heels so that you can actually put weight on your heels will be more comfortable, and I've seen some like that that were very nice looking with open toes.

But what do I know? I have a Y chromosome.

More than me apparently.
I tend to ignore high heels. Especially since my other half is already nearly a head taller than me even without those ungodly things.

change the brand
buy shoes from brands that specifically cater to comfort. things like clarks (NOT indigo), bórn, aerosoles, and naturalizer. heck, i have a pair of steve madden platform wedges that are INCREDIBLY comfortable. they're more expensive but in terms of comfort, definitely worth it.

Hahaha
You sound like my mate's girlfriend who will go for a night out, only to start crying as soon as we leave the tube station and it's *his* fault because he *knows* she can't walk in those shoes!

Shoes you can't walk in are kind of self-defeating, no?

Do any men actually think heels make a woman more attractive?

Yes I do think it makes women look nicer
Makes the legs look longer, increases muscle definition and does things to an arse that you wouldn't normally expcet a shoe to do.

That answered my question then

Yes
But not enough to make up for the unattractiveness of "wwaaaah, my feet hurt, sympathize with me for my poor choices"

(Current and previous girlfriends both took a pair of flats with them in their handbags for walking, and heels for standing still)

I don't
I saw a smartly-dressed, office-type girl tottering along on what I could only describe as 'prostitute shoes' at lunchtime, and just laughed. They really do nothing for me.

and those squashy things that you put in to cushion the balls of your feet. I can go dancing all night with them in.
