Correction: As for interviews or anyone else you need to “impress”: people WHO can’t be impressed by a woman walking on her full foot they aren’t worth your time.

Women need to walk on their full feet and accept no less…there are plenty of shoes that allow this.

And women need to learn the true meaning of empowerment. Until then we will never truly be taken seriously. Sad but true. Sorry for the double post but I had to add that.

What I don’t understand is why men can be empowered and not have to wear painful shoes. How is standing on your tippytoes all day empowering? Standing on your full foot! Now THAT is empowering! A true empowered woman doesn’t need heels or to be in pain or to hurt herself. Empowerment is about being confident in your own skin and being yourself…it’s not about pain. If men don’t have to wear high heels to be empowered why should we? Are we lesser? I didn’t think so. And there are plenty of shoes (like strappy sandals) that can make you look very good. Seriously! I think women are taken more seriously when they walk on their full feet not on these torture devices called high heels. I don’t think they look good at all…to me they look deformed and painful and not fun at all. I like to move and be active and unrestricted. If women really want to be taken seriously they should start walking on their full feet and stop putting all these silly restrictions on themselves. As for interviews or anyone else you need to “impress”: people can’t be impressed by a woman walking on her full foot they aren’t worth your time. And one more thing think of this: high heels = less walking = less moving around = more weight issues. People weren’t meant to walk this way. It’s unnatural. I wish people would just STOP IT.

I love high heels. Regardless of what people say about vanity, I love the way I feel empowered when I wear them. Sure, I may have to visit the pediatrist with frequency as I get older, but as an attorney, I don’t feel ready for the day until I put on my three inch pumps.

Interesting post from your point of view on the issue. As a male I don’t deal with the same kinds of issues women do first hand regarding the dichotomy of being comfortable and wearing high heels to feel empowered. But I do however run an online store which sells high heel platform shoes. We primarily cater to women who need to wear these shoes for what they’re doing. Whether they’re a fitness model, exotic dancer or pole dancer; they need to wear 5″ or higher heels for work.

Unfortunately if they want to keep competing, or working in their industries, really high heels are a must. These women don’t choose between being comfortable and feeling empowered. They simply choose what looks best and feels the best after hours. After speaking to several customers it became apparent that when deciding which pair of shoes to buy they care a lot about comfort and are willing to pay for a better quality product which won’t be killing them at the end of the day.

I had a dream to start my own firm, but I didn't have got enough of money to do it. Thank goodness my close friend suggested to utilize the loan. So I took the college loan and realized my old dream.
