In reply to the discussion: Okay, when can women give up wearing high heel shoes? [View all]GoCubsGo
(34,755 posts)I never could walk in them. I have high, stiff arches. Anything over an inch totally throws me off balance, not to mention the pain it causes in every joint from my hips and back downward. Not to mention that most of 'em are butt-ugly. Wouldn't wear them even if I could walk in them.
The same goes for another relic: make-up. I quit wearing that shit decades ago. Most of it caused my skin to break out in a rash, and what didn't was expensive. It's a pain in the ass to apply, and you have to spend the day worrying about smearing it. Screw it. And, men aren't expected to put in the time and expense to paint up their faces, so why the hell must we women have to put up with it? Like high heels, it needs to go the way of pantyhose.
