New advantage of heels

The "Crazy" invention 
Of course heels are like an essential accessory in fashion and it just feels like you're not a woman if u don't have a pair of heels. And because of these perception, heels are very popular. I mean yeah, some of them are really pretty, i love pumps and wedges, oooh and boots and gladiator heels. I find wearing wedges the best, they're undeniably more stable because of their larger surface area. But there are also unbelievably high and impractical platform heels courtesy of Lady Gaga's style and other ludicrous inventions by weird designers. Well, the only reason they came up with it was only cuz someone is crazy enough to wear them. I do laugh at those people but at the same time salute their bravery for not being afraid to look ridiculous and not being afraid to fall flat on their faces and break a teeth or two or twist their ankles. If you want to die earlier, go ahead, wear like Lady Gaga. No one is stopping you.
I'm personally a sneakers, slippers and flats person. I love heels but i just can't stand or walk in them for more than a few hours. As pretty as they look, lets just face it, they're not the most comfortable thing to wear. And YET, they're not cheap! For a simple looking thing it already cost around 100bucks sometimes. Why pay to torture yourself? Seriously. But anyway, that's not the point of this post right?
Apart from the classic, looking good in heels and using it as an assault weapon to sexual harassing perverts, there is one more advantage of wearing heels. I knew it only today when i attended a talk, it sounds legit. 
So, the speaker encourage woman to invest in at least a pair of heels. Why? Because wearing heels can not only make a woman look professional but it actually help you look confident. The logic in it? When you wear heels, it makes you straightened up. Your shoulders will automatically pull back and of course your chest will move forward so making you look confident. In a way it helps the posture. Does it sound logical enough? I think so.
Modest heels
But of course when you buy a heel you don't have to buy those very very high one's. You risk falling down and getting foot and tendons problem in the long run, don't believe me? Go google it! For beginners, wear moderate heels and practice before leaving the house, you don't wanna look like a chicken walking in heels. And make sure you find one pair with a larger heel that provides larger surface area for stability. For the love of God, don't wear kitten heels. The feet of the poor innocent person who you accidently puncture with your heels will be utterly painful. OUCH~~~
As long as you don't wear it the whole day and if possible, take it off when you're not walking (includes when you're at your work desk, car and other appropriate places, you'll be fine. Maybe only a little sore and peeling but other than that fine. I find pure comfort when i slip out of my heels and into my slippers after coming back from my campus (I only use heels during presentation).
That's all i can say about heels, hope it helps.
