Oh Heel No!

We love shoes!!! Nosotros amamos los zapatos! Nous aimons les chausseurs. No matter what language you say it in, the fact remains the same that WE LOVE SHOES! The higher the heel, the better, the sexier, or at least that’s how it’s supposed to be. But what is a shoe monger to do when there is a disconnect between what our minds and hearts love and what our flat Flintstone-esque feet flat-out reject. Dr. Scholls, we tried it. Grin and bear it, thanks but heel no! Flats it is, I guess. Some women make it look so easy. They strut through the city with their sky high stilettos as easy as they would if they were wearing Uggs or Crocs. Do their little piggies not scream in protest when they slide them into these vice grips disguised as functional art pieces? Is heel walking savvy something you’re born with or is it a skill one can hone like riding a bike? We plan to find out.

 As with any homework or research project, we decided to approach our dilemma of stiletto lust in a quasi scientific way and experiment. The internet will be our source material and YouTube will be our teacher. Will it work and will we become heel wearing pros or will our theory of everybody being able to learn how to walk in heels be disproven? Stay tuned as we conduct this experiment!
