High heels كعب عالى

Why on earth would a sane human being torture himself?

Who was the first to invent high heels, and was crazy enough to wear them?

interestingly enough it was a man and it was for men, not women.

So, no conspiracy here, but women, some how, liked the way it made their body look and that they felt it made them more sexy, so they wore high heels, and generation after generation for some it became part of being a female.

I have worn high heels before, but only in few occasions and for very few hours, probably because I am already average tall, or for some I am tall (170 cm). Therefore, I usually wear flats, sneakers, flip flops or less than 2" heels rather than high heels.

A friend of mine convinced me to buy a high heel boots, I liked them, I wore them a couple of times no problem, but to wear them for a two consecutive days from morning to night, working, walking and even running in them, that was a first for me.

"Hey you, that was my feet talking to me, I can't take this anymore,
I am swollen, and tired, I will give you a lot of pain if you don't take me out of these things, why on earth do you hate me, what did I do for you except support you for my whole life and taking you places, and now you punish me with this, you are putting all your body weight on my toes and I am not happy with this, take this,

awoo I exclaimed,

yeah now you feel the pain I am in, take this, my feet said

aohish, stop it,

no you better take me out of this shoes

ok I am going home stop it,

not until you get me out of these boots,

okay, okay, how about this, I will take them off can you drive bare,

it's okay with me, just get me out of them.

There are you happy,

better but that's not enough, here you go more pain,

okay, how about a hot bath,

yeah,

how about a massage

yes, yes,

okay how about this a Dr Scholl's special foot scrub and massage,

now you are talking,

okay how about a long sleep,

yup you finally got it. "


Now I made peace with my feet, but I am going to have another fight soon, I will wear the high heels again, yes I am insane!!

Here is some problems caused by high heels from Wikipedia:

"High-heeled shoes cant the foot forward and down while bending the toes up. This unnatural position, if continued without variation, will cause the Achilles tendon to shorten, causing problems when the wearer chooses lower heels, flats, or walking barefoot. When the foot cants forward, a disproportionately greater amount of the wearer's weight is transferred to the ball of the foot, increasing likelihood of damage to the underlying soft tissue which supports the foot."
