honestly, its true. when i was 17, after school, i wear this 3and half inch stilettoes to hang out with my girlfriends. even when i get to KL by mid 2002, i still wear this and went shopping in Midvalley... huhu....seriusly i did.. well, obviously, balik tuh kena rendam kaki in hot water of course. but i did it..

then, next years, the height of my heels gone down by an inch every year.. by end 2004/5, it was an inch for daily wear... 2 and half inch for presentation purposes.. [confidence booster] and i save the black-strappy-sexy-diamante-killer heels for functions.

2005..move to UK, too bloody cold to be wearing sandals and slipper... my turquoise adidas running shoe become my best friend. and with the amount of walking i did..couldnt possibly imagine how i could walk in those heels. it amaze me even more...not that i need an extra inch.. hey, layak jadi model k? im tall enough thank.you.very.much. anyway, they are called stiletto for a reason... =P

i did bought a pair of high heels..and wore it once to last year's May Ball. thats it. im taking it home with me. even, when i had to buy a new shoe... i bought another adidas...well two of it..*gulp* [no...not sponsered...just couldnt find a good decent nike or sketchers.. or anything else..]..and so..since last november..my feet has seen nothing but adidas..=p

not till summer came.. Flats has become so popular..and cute..

....too cute to be ignored by me. hiding behind, its too hot to be wearing my adidas shoe.. i bought a pair of white with silver lines flats in New Look. comel...*drool* that white pair has seen europe k? and i wore it on my birthday. then its time to move on.. upon my return from europe, i bought another 2 pairs of flats. perfect for autumn. bronze and with a big butterfly on it.. (^_^) and another black and white checkered with a litte bow on it.

im buying at least another pair and bring it home with me.. after all, i have to wear shoes [read: kasut bertutup] when i get back to college in KL by mid January... T_T [what? Mesia panas k?? aku pakai selipar jepun jek gi kelas in summer last year..huhu] so might as well bring a pair or two home...of course, the best part will be...

cantik nyer kasut u...mana u beli?

ohh..thank you. i beli kat UK..(^_^)

and...yesterday, when i went out with the girls.. ada sale half price kat NEXT...we stopped by in New Look... O M G....they have it!! damn it..must have...need to have it.. its The Shoe.

....its not this one..its the same concept...but the one in New Look lebih cun...more berkilat... more pointy...more feminine... more wham...*sigh*

i did try one on last 2 weeks somewhere else...but that one doesnt gave the same effect that the one in New Look gave..*ohh baby...that shoe kills*

add this to my list...im taking this home..im sure the shoe wont weight a tonne. it must be brought home with me.... along...with that coat... that jumper...that sweater...that jacket...and yesh..those too...all of those over there...

High-heeled shoes slant the foot forward and down while bending the toes up. The more that the feet are forced into this position, the more it may cause the Achilles tendon to shorten. This may cause problems when the wearer chooses lower heels or flat-soled shoes. When the foot slants forward, a much greater weight is transferred to the ball of the foot, increasing the likelihood of damage to the underlying soft tissue which supports the foot. In many shoes, style dictates function, either compressing the toes, or forcing them together, possibly resulting in blisters, corns, hammer toes, bunions, and many other medical conditions, most of which are permanent, and will require surgery to alleviate the pain.

If it is not possible to avoid high heels altogether, then the wearer should ensure wearing high-heels no more often than twelve hours a day, and that they are spending at least a third of the time on their feet in contour-supportive "flat" shoes (such as exercise sandals), or well-cushioned "sneaker-type" shoes, saving high heels for special occasions.

One of the most critical problems of high-heeled-shoe design revolves around orthotically constructing the toebox. Improper construction here can wreak the most damage on the foot. Toeboxes which are too narrow force the toes to be "crammed" too close together. Ensuring that room exists for the toes to assume a normal separation so that high-heel wear remains an option rather than a debilitating practice, is an important issue in improving the wearability of women's high-heeled fashion shoes.

Wide heels do not necessarily offer more stability, and any raised heel with too much width, such as found in "blade-" or "block-heeled" shoes, induces unhealthy side-to-side torque to the ankles with every step, producing extreme stress on the ankles and creating additional impact on the balls of the feet, both of which phenomena are likely to cause damage. Thus, the best design for a high-heel is one with a narrower width, where the heel is closer to the front, more solidly under the ankle, where the toe box provides room enough for the toes, and where forward movement of the foot in the shoe is kept in check by material snug across the instep, rather than by toes jamming together in the toe box.

Interestingly enough, despite the medical issues surrounding high-heel wear, a few podiatrists recommend well-constructed mid-heel shoes for some patients. It appears the moderate heel improves the angle of contact between the metatarsals and the horizontal plane, thereby more closely approximating the proper angle and resulting in proper weight distribution of a normally-arched foot.
