RillyNiceGuy: Women were beautiful from the start....they don't need all that stuff!
Out of all the replies, your replies made the most sense. My mother always wore the spiked high heels, a thing since World War II with the beautiful hats, when ladies acted more like ladies. My dad always said it made my mother's legs look longer and beautiful with a dress or skirt, Reallyniceguy hit the nail on the head.
personally, I wore them when going out man hunting, but for the work in the hospital, and at home, it is flats for me. Now they say it throws your pelvis and other body parts out of whack.
Heels, in my opinion are good for when you do not want to hem your pants as I am only 5 ' 1" tall.
