The point creates the effect of daggers shooting the sole. My grimace turns into a smile as I ignore the throbbing pain now moving up my legs. The only reason why I can smile is because I’m thinking about how I got the last pair of these beautiful shoes in this size. But why do I put up this? Why does any woman put up this?
We are a flock of sheep staggering through the doors of Nine West in an effort to inflict further pain on our already buffed, polished, pedicured and weary feet. The glossy bibles tell us what fashion to wear and how to wear it. A latest style of tying the straps of your high heeled shoes over your jeans but they forget to tell you how stumpy you’ll look. Only wear ballet flats but they also make us look stumpy and short, a point which is absent from our gospel. They show us a beautiful buffet of delectable shoes but they fail to mention the not so hot effects of following the fashion.
That is until you turn to the final page of the magazine. All sorts of bumps and hard bits poking out through the bejeweled straps on the feet of our most worshipped celebrities. Those photos should really be at the front of the magazine. Massive red warnings telling us that we should really just succumb to the homiped shoes. Sometimes comfort should become before fashion.

The bottom line is that sex sells and the media hone in on this fact. The big glossies present us with tips to make us believe we could be more attractive to the opposite sex, which seems to be the driving force behind the Y generation. So in a bid to attract the male gaze, bring on those skyscraper stillettos
