The alpha-male influencers told me women see me as human garbage if I’m under 6 feet, and they’re right:
Since I started wearing them, so many girls complimented me and my stilettos.
Will never understand how anyone wears these.

Even were it fashionable for someone like me to wear any kind of high heels, since I broke my ankle I have too much of a phobia of falling down to ever try.

I get you, I tore a tendon in my foot and can’t wear high heals at all anymore, and frankly most formal women’s shoes force my foot into an angle it can’t support anymore.

Well usually, they put them on their feet as shown in the picture.

Fun tidbit: high heels shift the stance from plantigrade to digitigrade. Many animals, including cats and dogs, are digitigrades and naturally walk on just their toes.
nanometer1625@thelemmy.club 3 weeks ago
I think most mammals do, right? Afaik the only exceptions are humans and bears.
dragnucs@lemmy.ml 3 weeks ago
True, but won’t be good for humans unless we get a mutation that gives us appropriate feet structure to be digitigrade.
QualifiedKitten@discuss.online 3 weeks ago
Absolutely! Just thought it was interesting and tangentially relevant.

That’s what the shoes are for

As a foot fetishist, I’m not a fan of heels. I much prefer sexy boots or vans, or really anything else except crocs.
Delphia@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
I have the opposite. Every sexy love interest in every 80s movie was the woman in heels. They made a point of showing them.
Wired something in my adolescent brain that I still cant shake to this day. My higher brain knows better but caveman brain “heels = keen for sex”

Are you a foot fetishist?

unlike a horse, they cant run fast or trot, no hooves yet.

Jokes on you I’ve seen evidence of a lass doing a full sprint in heels. Not only mad respect for her but for her cobbler as well.
Was looking for the original video but found this instead. 14 seconds. 100m in 14 goddamn seconds. It took me 15 seconds to watch her run that fast what the fuck.

Viewing this image made my calf start cramping.

The only people who can wear stilettos at a somewhat comfortable level is men.
Because their feet are generally longer, the angle is less extreme.
As someone who has small feet, I’ve never been able to wear more than 2 inch heel and even that contorted my foot similar to this image.
But drag queens, They can stop around in heels like nobody’s business
404@lemmy.zip 3 weeks ago
…so different sizes of the same stiletto model would have the same height of the heel? Seems weird to me that they wouldn’t scale it with the rest of the stiletto. Or are you just comparing heels in absolute heights regardless of model/size?
daannii@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
So the steepness of the angle would depend on how close the heel is to the ball of the foot.
Here is an illustration. Image

I’m a 5’11 guy who owns heels. Leather thigh high boots to be exact
God they were torture, but damn did I feel hot during that phase. The tradeoff can be hard to justify for some, reasonable for others
Randelung@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Are you wanting to try? Just get some second hand for now until you’ve got your size.

“How” is explained by the picture. “Why” remains though
Malica@lemmy.zip 3 weeks ago
I’m tall and wearing this shit while tall should be considered torture. There are some cute ones though 😭
Triasha@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
I’m nearly 6’ tall and I feel amazing in heels.
I have balance issues though, so I don’t wear them anymore.
Malica@lemmy.zip 2 weeks ago
Me too. I put on some 6 inch ones for a joke the other day and nearly broke my neck.

disgusting pics. how do people do that to themselves
MehBlah@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
You see women in all the shows and movies wearing high healed footwear. The other night while rewatching the bad batch I noticed one of the female characters with high heels boots. The one place where you can just draw them to the desired height and they put a pirate in high heels.

Grateful for my blessings and blessed to give back, I’m giving 35 grand to anyone who messages “GRACE” on Telegram @Georgestones12, I understand that many people are struggling with bills, and I want to help reduce that burden. It’s a season of love, kindness, and blessings.

The only time I’ve seen a woman wear heels this high was when she was under 5’ without heels.
veggay@kbin.earth 3 weeks ago
They're just one more way to control women.
There could be a whole dissertation written about this and I'm not gonna go there in a Lemmy Shitpost comment section. But I will say:
"Women choose to wear them" - yes, and society has forced us in many ways by making it part of uniforms and being drilled into us since we're little kids that we need to conform if we want to succeed.
I say 'we' because I'm a woman but I have never worn shoes like that and I never will, it has caused me issues to reject such standards. I'm lucky I chose a career where I've always been allowed to wear pants and sneakers instead of skirts and heels.
When I was in primary school I would constantly get kicked out of class and sent to the principal's office because I chose to wear the uniform's winter pants instead of skirts, couldn't wear the boy's shorts. Because me following the rules but refusing to wear a skirt was more important than me getting an education.
Men don't realize how much women's bodies are controlled from the moment we're born. It's gotten better in the last years but shit like that still happens more than yall realize.
TheSecondVariety@lemmy.ca 3 weeks ago
I didn’t realize how bad some of these issues were until I was talking to a woman I work with. She was sort of half considering going back to an old career (white collar, not public facing) instead of out workplace (very much blue collar/male dominated) but she mentioned that she doesn’t want to have to start wearing makeup again. I was a bit confused because I didn’t think that makeup would really be seen as a requirement there. She said it wasn’t a requirement but there was a lot of pressure to do it.
Daily makeup looks almost as bad as occasionally wearing heels to me, but I do neither so IDK.
veggay@kbin.earth 3 weeks ago
yeah... "a lot of pressure" translates to "you don't get hired" if it's clear you'll refuse or make a fuss about it or "they make your job painful every day" if you're already hired and refuse. It depends on the industry and company but it's pretty standard in most customer facing jobs. It was much worse 20 years ago than it is today
