• It’s harmful for the foot health.
  • It can cause injuries.
  • It causes a distracting sound that is very annoying in quite places(Public libraries, education classes, …etc)
  • I’ve never seen anyone who thinks they look good in it, and personally, I don’t believe it makes the wearer any more attractive.

I don’t know why men or women wear it and I think the only reason it was invented is to fuel consumption as they are usually not as durable as normal footwear.

    Heels can be helpful for certain activities. For example, I once had to drive a rental moving truck for several hours and the seat was too high. I could reach the pedals but could not rest my heels on the floor.

    At the first rest stop I swapped to a chunky heel and was able to complete the journey with better ergonomics.

    I think I look good in heels. They accentuate my amazing calves.

    They’re designed to give the illusion of a longer leg, and long legs are traditionally seen as a desirable trait for women to have.

    I look good in heels. I wore a pair at my college graduation. I only wear them on special occasions and I carry a pair of flats in my purse.

    They were invented for horse riding. They help you stay in the stirrups. Cowboy boots, real ones from the 1800s, had heels.

    Your first three could be considered factually correct but the last is pretty easily disproved. High heels make your legs stand more taught and generally makes you claves, thighs, and ass look better. Plus it’s a general rule of thumb that humans like people who are tall. People will gladly trade inconvenience to improve their appearance and the fact that high heels have persisted seems to imply people think they look better in them

    Here’s an example of the same woman in various types of shoes and while this is a matter of opinion, I think she looks best in the block heels followed by the kitten heels:

    5 frames of the same woman wearing in order: flats, kitten heels, block heels, platform shoes, and tennis shoes

    If you disagree then you’re in the correct place, but it’s really less about the feet and more about the change in posture
