THE KILLER SHOES





"Ouch...these things are killing me."
And yet Manolo Blahniks and Jimmy Choos are still being sought after by ladies all over the world. These shoes usually have a special shelf in the ladies' wardrobe. They are polished and kept in the box until the next use. They are talked about and compared to. They become the obsession for most women.
Medically, there is nothing good about wearing high heels. On the contrary, they give you a lot of pain on the toes, the heels, the back of the knees and along the spine!
How can something so expensive and so beautiful be so cruel?
How can anything that give you so much pain be loved that much?
The answer is simple but difficult to be comprehended by practical people, like moi.
It is all about style over substance, vanity over sanity and beauty over sensibility.
