One Friday afternoon in summer, just after 5 PM, I watched
two women wearing high heels as they walked their cars in a parking lot. From their expressions and body language I
knew they couldn’t wait to slide into their cars and take those shoes off.
On the same block I saw a young man (twenty-something), relaxed
with his tie loosened and his sport coat flung over his shoulder. He was not watching
to make sure his heel didn’t land in a wide crack in the sidewalk or on a stone
or worry that his tired ankle might suddenly turn, causing a fall.
Women can look just as nice in flats as they do in heels,
but many women want to look sexy and think heels are the way to do it. I think
most men think women who are in good shape, and give them attention are sexy,
and that it has less to do with high heels than it has to do with personality and chemistry.
Men who think women have to wear high heels to be sexy are probably looking
only for sex.
There are some sexy looking flats available in stores
and online – and a smile is more flirty than a frown. Let us know your favorite place to find fashionably flat shoes.
If your feet are hot and tired from being on them all day,
try placing them on a Back Warmer, (hot or cold) or in a pair of Foot Warmers. Maine Warmers makes a variety of microwave heating pads that double as ice
packs when frozen. The cold is gentle and soothing -- not harsh like ice cubes.
When you need warmth to relieve tired muscles, you can heat the Warmer in a
microwave oven for a minute and a half, and relax.
