After bitching about women not wearing heels enough, the ladies over at Jezebel made me literally walk a mile in their shoes. It sucked. The deal is, the pain is focussed all in one tiny part of one joint of your big toe. It’s not uncomfortable like wearing a jacket on a hot day. It’s uncomfortable like someone putting a wrestling move on you. Though I have trouble believing all women in heels are enduring the kind of suffering I felt in mine, it did teach me to take it easy on the stiletto fascism a bit and give bitches a break.

Some girls say it’s more comfy to wear heels–you bought a cheap pair, too, which means that they won’t have as good of arch support. Heels do take pressure off of the calves, but since I have really high arches and narrow feet, I only save my high heels for church. I think it’s sexier to wear flats and not complain about your feet (or to take your shoes off at a wedding and get them all dirty GROSS) and force your man friend to listen to you whine. It’s only fair.

call me corny, but hearing Gavin’s kid chirp “daddy!’ was really sweet.

Heels are worth the pain. Not only do you look sexier, but you feel sexier. (And this segment is waaaaaaay better than Gavin on Pot Psychology.)

yeah you were wearing cheap heels and they were definitely too small and/or too narrow for your feet, but…
you know that problem you encountered w/the stabbing pain in the joint right below your big toe? that is unavoidable and it worsens over time. it causes bunions which are revolting and disabling and which you can google-image, if you want.
i’m a lawyer and (unlike many) i tend to walk around a lot. i hate the way i look in flats and have spent as much as $2k per pair on heels in effort to find ones that won’t cripple me. i’ve seen podiatrists, had shoes custom-made, and basically gone to the ends of the earth. no dice.
maybe in a century or two people will look at heels the way we look at chinese foot-binding or whalebone corsets. i’m not trying to be melodramatic; i mean, at the end of the day, despite all my whining, i still adore the style- and self-esteem-boost that heels provide. but i don’t think most men appreciate the sacrifice that wearing them entails, so it was really satisfying to see one of you suffer like this.

did anyone else notice that gavin might be unconsciously swinging his arms while in heels, to justify that he still has balls?

it gets worse. eventually a pair will usually create a painful blister which the shoe just rubs away until you have a gigantic open sore that is being rubbed terribly. but it happens of course an hour after you have left the house in said heels and there is nothing you can do about it.
