I know that women who wear high heels all the time shorten their Achilles tendons and aren't able to stand barefoot. There are a host of problems that come with them. In my case, I lack the basic coordination to walk in heels higher than 2 1/2 inches. On occasion I see some shoes that make me wish I were more coordinated. Like these:



I posted a picture of them in the Lounge last week. The cavers picked it up and said I was wearing hooker shoes. They are in fact Missoni. I won't be buying them, however, since I don't stand a chance of being able to walk in them.
