Viva La High Heel
Viva La High Heel
I have some difficulty walking in high heels. When I say some, I mean I can’t take more than a few steps without needing to stop, or hold onto a nearby wall, or give up completely and switch to flat shoes. If I go out with friends I will be the one with a spare pair of shoes in my bag ready for the moment where I just can’t take any more. So for me, wearing heels all day, to walk to work, around work and to walk home from work, is similar to leaving the house in Wales without an umbrella – a disaster waiting to happen.
So imagine my surprise when I arrive in Spain and almost every woman is wearing heels. Every day and every night. And they don’t just wear heels. They wear HIGH heels. I hate to think how many times I would break my ankles if I even tried to walk in some of those shoes. Although having said that, I do like the fashion of wearing heels, I think they make any woman look elegant and sophisticated, and I would love to be able to pull it off. I hope one day to be able to own a healthy collection of high heels which are worn frequently, instead of having a few pairs at the back of my wardrobe.
And here in Torrelavega, the small Cantabrian town I am living in, they seem to have a thing for shoe shops. On every street you will find at least one, and if not, you are never very far from somewhere to re-stock your footwear collection. Not that I am complaining, I love shoes just like every other girl.
Then one day I walked into Stradivarius, a shop which I have newly discovered since moving to Spain, and I saw Them. The Shoes. The turquoise heels which would go with anything. And I bought them. Don’t ask me why, as I think I mentioned a few times that I can’t walk in heels, but I bought them. And it’s a miracle – I wore them to go out with friends in Santander and I only had to change my shoes right at the end of the night. I don’t know whether it is living so close to heel-loving Spaniards, or whether it is the shoes themselves, but I appear, at least for now, to be cured. Long live the high heel!

I like it !!!!!!!!!!???
I like it. Women in high heels look elegant so why not make the effort? A night out in Santander deserves it!!!
Thank you ! It definitely does deserve it - I wish I could honour that !
HEELS cause headache but i agree with you sometimes girls want to feel elegance & beauty with fashionable high heels ..you know that feeling like you own the whole world with simple tools...a brilliant feeling that is mixed with Happiness and confidence:)
GOOD ARTICLE !
I LOVE high heels, but for a strange reason I can't wear them! I see around me, every girl with my age is wearing a pair, but I can't... I seem like a dork when I use them! I think it's because I'm too young, I'm only 14!
I think that a woman wearing high heels looks PRECIOUS (if she knows how walk with them) but I think that it's bad for your health wear it all the time, once in a while is nice to wear a comfy pair of sneakers.
Nice article :)
P.S.: Sorry if I've made a mistake. If I did it, let me know. Lots of love, from me. xx
It is very important to wear comfy shoes all the time, you are right ! I would much rather wear my old flat shoes and be able to dance than wear shoes which I can't walk in ! :)
I love high heels, they make us perfect more gentle and turn us to ideal women.
Really nice article :D

I love them but i can't use them because i am tall
I like them i can walk with them but the problem is that i am so tall......but someday I have to wear them
Every women looks elegant in high heels, so a little effort shouldn't be a problem. I am not very tall, and I thank God for the heels. They make me taller, but I don't wear them very often, just several times a year. But all my boots have a little heel. I know to walk in heels pretty good, but you need practice. After years in heels, they will be normal for legs just like the other shoes.
these ones are precious!! I'd wear them... but not sure I'd walk more than 5 steps....
high heels are great when you can walk on them :)
I love viva la high heel. I can run with this shoes. But my mum says: You're so young for this shoes!!!!
